Not sure where to start… but here goes! I can’t believe I’m writing such a disappointing review for a newly refurbished Nando’s. 1. Food Quality: Every single item we ordered at our table was subpar. The chicken was dry, tough, and almost impossible to enjoy. The chips? Cold, old, and lacking any crispiness – just sad, dry remnants that felt like they’d been sitting out far too long. The broccoli tasted like microwaved mush; overcooked, rubbery, and far from fresh or appetizing. For a place known for bold, fresh flavors, this was an absolute letdown. 2. Service: The service was another major issue. One person in our party of four never received their main course. We flagged down two different staff members at different times to ask about it. Both seemed to listen but then simply walked off without a word – no explanation, no acknowledgment, no reassurance. We were just left there waiting, confused and unsure if anyone was actually addressing the issue. I can’t understand how all the staff we spoke to felt it was acceptable to just walk away despite being directly asked about the missing main. It was a complete failure in basic service and communication, leaving us frustrated and feeling ignored. 3. Kitchen Observations: To top it off, we had a clear view into the kitchen, which only made the situation worse. Despite the poor quality of our meals and the forgotten main, the kitchen staff seemed to be having a casual, fun time. We watched as our final main dish was placed on the counter, taken off to add cheese, put back under the heat lamps, and then removed again after something else was discovered missing. All the while, the kitchen staff were joking around, laughing hysterically at whatever was going on, paying little attention to the food they were preparing. It was as if we were watching a social gathering, not a professional kitchen. 4. Overall Experience: The restaurant looked great after the renovation, but the experience did not match the appearance. It’s disappointing to see that even after investing in a revamp, the management overlooked training and ensuring a high standard of service and food quality. We went in with high expectations, but left feeling let down and unsatisfied. It’s shocking how a place can go so downhill after a renovation. I hope this feedback is taken seriously because this experience fell far below the standard Nando’s usually sets.

Our 1st visit at this lovely pub and it won’t be our last. Our table was booked for 14.30 but we arrived early so we could find a parking spot. We waited in the cozy bar downstairs and it was buzzing. We both ordered the lamb which was plentiful and delicious. It came with roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding and lovely side dishes. Not sure if boiled potatoes were on the menu as an extra side will look properly next time 😊 the plates were hot and plenty of gravy. All the staff were so friendly and attentive also they all looked happy in their job which is a good reflection on management. Next time I will be ordering dessert to take home as we were too full to eat one after our lunch. Be sure to book a table as it’s very busy and I can see why. Thank you all.

Very poor service. Ordered a vodka and coke, gin and tonic, Jack Daniels and coke. We got served by a sloppy, lazy barman with the curly hair and moustache with shirt open to his belly button ( didn't get his name) He used the same measure for all 3 drinks without rinsing in between. Each measure was well short too. At the prices they charge I would expect to have proper measures without having my vodka flavoured with gin and JD remnants. We won't be back.

Visited The Swan on Saturday 12 October evening. There was four of us , two ordered Nibley chicken and two ordered chicken burgers. The food was cold and so were the plates. It was taken away to reheat but just the same when it came back. Vegetables were hard and chicken breast was stringy. Both chicken burgers were cold!!! We haven’t been to this pub since April 2024 because we had a bad experience for Sunday lunch. We won’t be returning anytime soon. The food is expensive and they have cut corners with the quality and portion sizes. We didn’t enjoy the experience or the food. Extremely disappointing…..

Came here with nearly an empty restaurant. Didn’t get served after 20 minutes after being seated, so we had to go up and make our requests known. Our app came. Entrees took another almost 45mins to come, saw multiple later tables get their food. I once again had to go up to the bar to make sure we even had an order coming. Waiter reassured us it was still coming and nicely gave us complementary drinks. The drinks were kinda bad. When entree came, the pasta didn’t fill me up. I’ve had worse. I just was expecting a better experience for such an impressive, upscale hotel. Even an average experience would have cut it.
