We booked for 4 people as it was my birthday and when we got there it was a bbq only and was told no dining as the website should not have aloud any bookings. Very disappointed especially as I had an email yesterday asking for confirmation of booking. Not a nice way to start off a birthday evening with friends.

Really fantastic lunchtime food - the ciabatta sandwiches were extremely tasty and with chips made for a well sized meal and a very good price. Well recommended, lovely pub and friendly staff.

A nice friendly pub with good beer, but the cider was disappointing (only Thatcher's) and the food mediocre with small portions

Good service but the roast beef was a little tough and the roast potatoes had not been cooked fresh today but were reheated. Disappointing as we have had better food there in the past

Lovely food and all great except took us an hour and 10 mins to receive our order! I was late back to work and we had very hungry children in tow! We were only ordering Mac cheese, a kids fish and chips and 2 salmons so no idea why the massive wait.

Meal was good but seriously disappointed with content, Christmas Dinner with no sprouts or stuffing, my veg consisted of green and red cabbage, that was it!!! Also only one pig in blanket, surely for £90 a head we should of had better and then to be situated outside the pub in a drafty marque away from the main eating area. The Swan can and really should of done better.

The pub wasn’t busy , just a few tables with diners and a few seated at the bar so the noise level was quite low. The food was good and homemade. It was nice to have a wedge of steak and ale pie rather than meat in a dish with a pastry top. The staff were accommodating and friendly.

Nice choice of beer. Very pleasant staff. Basic surroundings. 5 X roast dinners were so-so. 5/10. It was nice to have dinner cooked for me but it's unlikely we'll return. I make a banging roast but it was a birthday going out treat.

We haven't been to The Swan for months. It used to be one of our favourite pubs, but the menu became a bit 'samey' and we stopped going. We thought we'd give it another go and were really pleased with the food. All 4 of us enjoyed our meals, there were some lovely options on the menu and the two female staff that served us were excellent. They were attentive, polite, quick to notice if we needed more drinks etc, and had a bit of chat with us too which was great. Our only criticism would be the atmosphere. The pub used to have a lovely cosy, country feel with soft furnishings, historical photos and paraphernalia, but sadly it has lost all of that charm. The bar area was incredibly loud and echoey. There was paint peeling off the walls and it just felt bare and unloved. I don't know if there is a plan to redecorate, but as a minimum it could do with some attention to smarten it up as the decor and atmosphere are currently letting the staff and food down.

Service was very slow. Had to ask to get another drink after waiting to see someone to ask. Had to wait ages for someone to come and pay the bill, my mum had to get up from her seat to ask for someone to take our payment. It wasn’t very busy so I’m not sure why we had to wait for these things. Food was very nice though.
