The Swan Inn

A great pub/restaurant. The bar area is quite small so there’s not many seats, and because the outside garden areas are normally quite busy with dogs and humans, there’s usually a queue of people waiting to get served. This can make the bar area seem a little less like a nice drinking area and a bit more like a serving space. But service is good and quick and you can sometimes eat in the bar (not sure if you can do that on a Sunday). The restaurant area is great. There’s the main area without dogs and then the conservatory area which allows them…and obviously outside. Service is good, it can sometimes be a little slow and inconsistent, but generally the staff are very friendly and pleasant. The food is excellent. The Sunday roast was great. The desserts are a bit oddly weird, in fact you could say the same about the starters. If they could get a better selection of starters and desserts it would be perfect. Overall a great place to eat on a Sunday or any night. But you need to book… and make sure you’re not allergic to dogs!! They’re everywhere!

We had a meal for 16 for a birthday celabration. Could not fault it from start to finish! We had a lovely welcome, were quickly shown to our table in the conservatory and the drinks order taken. All of the staff were professional, friendly and on the ball. All of the family were impressed that we hadn't needed to pre-order for the party. There was plenty of choice, including accommodation of allergies, and excellent quality of food. The birthday dessert was a lovely surprise :-) Huge thanks for making it such a memorable evening for all of us.
