  “Food was delicious, we had a Sunday roast (beef and veggie), baked Camembert and chilli cauliflower bites. Really friendly staff, great service and warm, cosy atmosphere.”

  “Update October 4th 2026 Refurbishment has come on a pace and the brand new kitchen is up and running. Delicious food for Sunday Lunch today. Olives & Padron Peppers while we waited for my Roast Beef, Yorkshire Pudding and Vegetables. Mrs had Mussels and some lovely Fries. She had Creme Brulee for Dessert, I had Black Forest Roulade. Drinks were On the Nod Bacchus and Harvey's Best. Excellent Service from Kim and the Team. Had lunch here again at end of March. Same consitent Quality and Standards and the icing on the cake was to find Harveys Sussex Bitter on sale. A lovely, leisurely Lunch. First Sunday Lunch of 2026 at The Swan. Newly redecorated so much brighter. A well sized bowl of Olives to start with. Excellent Roast Beef (the two large slices were tender, succulent and about 4mm thick) and Yorkshire Pudding followed by Rhubarb and Apple Crumble with Custard. Good friendly efficient Service as is always the case. Highly recommended. Great Calves Liver and Onions with greens and a bonus serving of Bacon on top. Wholesome winter warmer food.”

  “Booked for pie and pint night for 3 of us last week. We arrived in time for 7pm to be met by a man who I am not sure if he worked there or was just a local trying to help out. We were sat in the restaurant. Got fed up waiting for someone to come over for drinks and menu’s that we went to the bar ourselves in the end. Finally someone came with a menu board after 30 minutes with just items available. Two vegetarian pies. Not a great choice. Then no one came I’ve to take our order so as we were hungry, we decided to leave and go somewhere else, where we had a most gracious greeting, the full menu available and incredible service. I love the Swan on the Green so much that I invested a small amount in it. We were excited to see all the improvements that have been made but it was just a very amateurish experience. You don’t run out of pies by 7pm at a pie and a pie night and if you are going to be busy put more staff on. Very disappointing.”

  “We had a lovely Sunday roast here yesterday. A lovely spot with friendly staff and atmosphere. It is a community run pub and as such has a good selection of beers, some of which are brewed on site.”

  “Great food at a traditional English pub by a village green. We had the seafood platter and charcuterie starters. Both excellent with my seafood tasting really fresh amd accompanied by lovely soft bread and butter. My mains of ham and chicken pie also really good with a generous chunky filling. Partner had the sausages and mash - generous portion of quality sausages. Desserts excellent. All in all a great meal and the staff were lovely!”

  “Lovely lunch at a lovely pub! Food and service was super and the two open fires were great on a wet cold day. Would highly recommend a visit. And look forward to returning.”

  “Excellent experience as always. We had lovely food platters. On a terrible cold, wet and windy day, the open fire was a warm welcome and we (including the dogs) didn't want to leave! Friendly and helpful staff. Thank you!”

  “Any pub with the words “on the Green” in its name is going to be good. The Swan is no exception; across the board, service, comfort, food quality, it is absolutely brilliant. A pub food goer’s dream.”
