The main course was faultless as well as the service, however the desert let the side down as the apple crumble had lumps not crumbs on top and the custard was lumpy, the sticky toffee also had a strange after taste. However, overall it was great just a shame the puddings had to end it on a low.
Very good service and a nice meal. The calves liver wasn't trimmed as well as it should have been, a little grizzly, otherwise everything was very nice.
Pleasant environment. Good service, staff courteous and helpful. Varied lunchtime menu. I had Steak and Mushroom pie, which was packed with lots of tender beef. and good value. Worth a visit.
Pleasant surroundings food average Ingredients fir Sunday lunch lacked quality and the beef was tasteless Overall experience disappointing but it is early days and it may imorove
Very nice place cosy and welcoming the table we had was between the toilets and the serving hatch one of our guests had the pie and said the pastry was way to thick ,I had queen scallops and they were over cooked another couple of niggles so all in all a little disappointed ,but we would all go back and give it another try but wouldn't recommend to friends at the moment ,just need to up their game a bit for it to be excellent place to visit
Good range of choices on lunch menu. The three of us had different mains and puddings, all of which disappeared with scarcely a crumb left on our plates. Good service from friendly staff.
Wonderful to see the chefs cooking, the banter in the kitchen Very good quality ingredients so producing very good quality food Will be back soon We will be bringing others with us. Cant recommend the Wild Swan enough
The food was amazing I highly recommend the black pudding scotch egg! The decor is gorgeous and very warm. The staff are extremely friendly and welcoming, will certainly revisit
A lovely Easter treat to eat at the Wild Swan. Great food and drink and great service too. Haven't been before on a Sunday, very much liked the Sunday menu, lots of choice. Something for all. Recommend this restaurant for any day
The atmosphere is lovely, very well decorated throughout.The staff a very professional and the food is absolutely superb. Will definitely come back again. The only downside to our evening was that the smoke kept coming out of the fire, this does leave you with smoky clothes and gets to sometimes.
I have now eaten at The Wild Swan five or six times but sadly the meals served have become less good with each visit. This last visit my slow cooked lamb was very dry and almost certainly was not freshly cooked, my companion's fish was also overcooked. I asked for gluten free bread but when it arrived it was two thick dry slices - completely inedible. It is possible to buy very good gluten free bread and most restaurants I go to serve very acceptable GF bread. The waiting staff also left a lot to be desired - lacked knowledge, offhand manner. The restaurant will lose customers soon if they don't sharpen up their offering.
Excellent lunch with friends. Good menu, lots of choice and they catered for my gluten free diet. Staff were friendly and efficient and the venue has nice decor and a good atmosphere.
We went for Lunch for two on a Saturday and we were pleasantly surprised. There was a nice atmosphere, friendly service and most importantly great food! We will be back...
lovely venue. good menu and specials choices. service excellent. delicious food. second visit and just as good as last time. will definitely visit again soon.
Fantastic Sunday Lunch, beautifully prepared and presented. Delicious all round with excellent service. First time we have visited this restaurant and we will be back.
Lovely food and service. Venue was just right and price point spot on. Mum enjoyed it which mattered the most as it was Mother’s Day dinner!
Great food, well presented, lovely flavours and different choices. Good atmosphere and staff very pleasant, would definitely go back to try something else off the menu again
We had a lovely Lunch, the food was delicious and the service was faultless. The Wild Swan has a lovely friendly atmosphere, would recommend to anyone.
Great menu and choice, lovely food, lovely atmosphere, very attentive staff. I had Steak Burger which was delicious! Have had the mussels in the past which were also great. Thank you
Pleasant service & great food. My mum Had a lovely birthday meal - the back section of the restaurant is perfect for a bigger group.
Excellent lunch, and very good value, will return shortly. I really do not see the point of having to make a review last 25 words when less will suffice.
We enjoyed our evening at the Wild Swan immensely. The food was fantastic, and the Staff looked after us really well. We had a lovely time celebrating our wedding anniversary.
Beautifully restored family run pub with superb food and service. Wonderful varied menu and wine list to compliment. Relaxed atmosphere with roaring fire, perfect for that cold winter evening. Would highly recommend.
Amazing food, excellent service and reasonably priced. Will go again and would definitely reccomend. 5 minute drive from A1 and boroughbridge. Good choice of real ales
Lovely atmosphere and the food was good except for the Yorkshire pudding in the ‘toad in’t ole’ which was rather hard! Staff were very pleasant.
Food and service very good will go again Nice old world pub feel with a large dinning room I had scallops off the specials board followed by Liver and could not fault it
Very well looked after by Lee and couldn’t fault the meals. Beautifully presented and piping hot. Their version of Eaton Mess outstanding. Will definitely be returning.
Warm welcome, lovely atmosphere and delicious food. I particularly enjoyed the French onion soup and swordfish. A great improvement in service since our first visit.
Excellent food, ambience and welcome. This was out first visit and we took friends. We all agreed that we would be happy to revisit in the near future
hi . just to let you know , the food was amazing and certainly couldn't fault the staff.but they was an open fire next to us and the staff kindly moved us to another table because it got so hot . the smoke from the open fire was bouncing off the ceiling . when we got home our clothes, skin and hair didn't smell very nice .My girlfriends expensive coat will now need to go to the cleaners . will i be returning to the Wild Swan . certainly not when it's cold unless something can be done about the open fire .

Had a drink in the bar before heading through to the restaurant. Lovely service, the waitress was always there if we needed something. The food was hot and delicious. Very well made.
We were seated very quickly, the food arrived within a reasonable time and was very tasty!
Great experience. Lovely food, hard to choose what to have which is why we will be back. Great service, cosy atmosphere, decor just right and no rush.
Excellent food in a beautifully and tastefully refurbished pub. Very good service and reasonable prices. I will definitely make it a regular "haunt". Highly recommended
A regular at The Crown this was my first visit to The Swan. The décor and seating are great so in keeping with the age of the building, tables nicely spaced out, service as usual top class, great to see Lee who was missed on our last visit to The Crown! The waitress was very helpful with my annoying garlic allergy. Food beautifully presented and delicious. The Swan has been pitched exactly right, not in competition with The crown it stands alone with its own individual character. We will definitely be returning!
Good food, nice atmosphere, staff could be a little more attentive. Overall a very nice dining experience. Will go back and have already told family and friends about it.
Great venue great food great service . Tuesday night visit and very busy with happy people . We will certainly be recommending and returning soon !
Lovely pub, great atmosphere, staff courteous and helpful. Decor tasteful, traditional pub refurbished to a good standard. Food delicious. We will definitely be back. Can't fault anything.
Good food & good service. There needs to be a larger & more varied menu. Location of toilets is not great. Having said the above we have been regulars and always enjoy our meal.
Good food, nice service generally. Having to wait for a table in the middle of the dining room next to diners already eating was not good. Felt embarrassed for them. Small point and the only grumble. Will go again.
