Although the food was good and the service friendly, it was less than a great experience. Having repeatedly asked for the wine list we ended up ordering separate glasses of wine in order to get a drink. The wine list eventually turned up during dessert. Having several intolerances and not seeing anything at all marked as gluten free for the main course I was very happy to be told that a roast chicken meal could be served gluten free.The meal arrived complete with Yorkshire pudding, stuffing and gravy. The meal was taken away at my request. The waiter then returned to ask me what I wanted. I said I would be happy with the meat, potatoes and vegetables, a situation I would have been happy with in the first place. My plate came back with the same piece of meat covered in gravy, gravy on the potato and the plate. Anyone who had Coeliac Disease would have become really ill after eating this. For dessert I decided to order a plain vanilla ice cream, thinking nothing could go wrong with that. The regular ice cream covered in all sorts of toppings arrived, so I repeated my request for a plain vanilla ice cream. When my dessert arrived it was covered in raspberries and sauce. Staff obviously need more training, particularly kitchen staff. Although I tolerances are less severe than allergies they can make people very ill.
Very good food , cooked to order in lovely surroundings! Our second visit and will definitely return. I would recommend this restaurant to our friends and others!
Fabulous food as usual, a lovely venue for a family celebration. We have visited the Wild Swan in Minskip for both lunch and dinner and have never been disappointed. Would recommend to all.
Fabulous atmosphere, great service and the food was excellent. a real feeling that this is a professionally run enterprise and the results bear that out.
absolutely great, reminded me of the good times at The Crown (after our las experience there after new owners took over---never again). Food & choice 10/10 staff & service 10/10 Ambience 10/10 If I look for a downside it would be the car park was full so parked in the field (cant imagine how that will be in the winter) & it could do with some form if lighting. Looking forward to our next visit
Lovely gastro pub food in a very pretty village near Wetherby . Choice on menu very extensive and something to suit everyone on our party .
There were five in our party and we all enjoyed our food very much. The only disappointment was they had no Lemon Sole (my favourite) or calamari but it was a Wednesday evening and there were plenty of other delicious choices. We did t have dessert but they looked delicious as they went past!! We’ll definitely be back. Thank you!
Very good value early doors meal which was delicious. Service excellent and the pub is nicely done out. Truffle oil used a bit too freely but that is just a personal preference !
Called in on the way home, excellent service from the staff, very good menu including early bird specials. Our food was well presented and very good. Can the see The Wild Swan overtaking the Crown as the place to eat in the Boroughbridge area
Just brilliant, try it! Everything was perfect, the food, the wine, the service the price. This really was an experience we will all remember, thank you!
Overall a very nice meal. Just a couple of suggestions. The quality of theircoffee needs improvement I ordered a flat white and it was weak and tasteless Also the chef over salts the chips in my fish and chip meal.
Great food, great atmosphere, great service and great price. Doesn’t get much better. If you’ve never been, you are missing out on one of the best food pubs around.
Food terrible!Raw pastry on a steak pie!Prawn cocktail(easiest thing ever)should have been named rocket cocktail with a few tiny shrimps!Far too busy ,staff obviously struggling!Two lovely young girls waiting at the tables were the only saving grace!Would not return again.......ever!!!
Interesting menu using locally sourced ingredients, individually cooked so time to enjoy each course. The meal was very good and the price was reasonable too.
What can I say? Excellent food beautifully presented, good menu choice + a specials board. Friendly,helpful staff and good service on a very busy lunchtime.
Good good & service-well done! COD was excellent- menu varied & well thought out Didn’t try desserts but sounded tempting Parking very easy Early bird menu very reasonable
Good early evening deal for four of us. Two said meals were of good quality, one said average for the beef hotpot, a little bland and the other had a risotto which was on the dry side. Drinks quite expensive though. Overall a pleasant experience, nice ambience and a vast improvement on our previous visit before the new owners
Helpful and friendly staff. One of the main courses and one of the desserts from the early bird menu where not available. Rhubarb panacotta could have done with more rhubarb. Otherwise good food and ambiance.
Relaxed and comfortable atmosphere with tasty food, well-cooked, although there were not enough vegetables included in the meal. This meant extra had to be ordered to achieve a balanced meal.
Portion size was a little disappointing, waiting staff could have been a bit more attentive to say there wasn't many diners in. Food was very nice and staff were friendly
Mid-week dinner for four. Good range of starters and main courses with plenty of choice. Excellent food and well presented, relaxed setting and good service.
Excellent food. I partularly like fish and there is a good choice. Staff are friendly and attentive and the restaurant is comfortable and clean. We sat near the door which wouldn’t be my choice but there was no problem.
Very pleasant surroundings. Tasty food, well presented, served by polite, helpful staff. Will be going back soon. Had early bird menu but impressed with the a la carte so might try that next time.
This is our second time at the Wild Swan - we weren't disappointed! (Again) The food was brilliant and the service was quite excellent. Will be back!
Lovely surroundings and airy feel to the restaurant . The food was very nice , a good selection of a dishes and specials to choose from. The staff were attentive at the right level. Only draw back was the Eton mess pudding which was nice but the meringues were not homemade Planning to go back again soon.
Always great food and good service. Whitby crab and pea risotto to start, slow cooked lamb then the cheese board, washed down with a bottle of Pinot Grigio.
Have been several times before and have always been impressed with food and service. This visit was not the usual exceptional experience and think we were the only table which was probably due to the football.
Great food. Lovely welcoming atmosphere. As a vegetarian I was pleased to have a choice - even one on the specials board which is unusual!
Excellent food and good service overall. Although very busy for a Tuesday evening and a little short staffed. Inexperienced waitress made a few blunders, but as she was new to the job we understood and didn’t want to make an issue of it. My husband, two daughters and I all ordered differently and equally enjoyed our choice of food. Will definitely go back on another occasion.
Spent a very pleasant evening in the Wild Swan. The food we chose was very nice. There was no pressure for anything. Very efficient service. Most enjoyable evening.
Excellent food and service. Attentive staff. Good choice of menu items with lots on the specials board. Two good choices of beer and a decent wine list
Nice to see the standards set at The Crown are being achieved at the latest venture. Thank you and we'll done. We will be back!
Excellent! First time there and will definitely return soon... Food was truly excellent, service was superb and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Not to be missed!
Lovely country village pub, excellent quality food and good value for money Will definitely be going back for the early doors menu - 3 x courses £14.50 before 5.30pm
This pub/restaurant had a lovely relaxing environment and a good choice of high quality and well presented food at reasonable prices. We will definitely return
It was lovely. I appreciate that since everything is freshly cooked it took a little while for our meal to be served. Although there was plenty of room to park I chose to park to the rear. I did ask to eat at 12.30 and was offered 1.15 which was fine but unexplained.
Good food, nice setting, great service. Well worth a visit, couldn't fault it. We will definitely be revisiting again in the near future Thank you
Great food and great service. We had a party of 8 and everyone enjoyed the ambiance and service. The food choice catered for all ages and was just what we wanted to celibate a birthday.
First time here and certainly not the last. Excellent food from a very extensive menu and the staff were friendly and very efficient. The bill was less than I expected fro a restaurant of this quality.
Good food, good ambience, prices are reasonable. Nothing to complain about at all. Thoroughly enjoyed the evening. In my opinion, now better than the Crown.
