Customer Review Summary
Free overnight pitching for campervans and motorhomes behind the pub draws many visitors, several of whom return specifically for that combination of a free stay and the food. The dressed crab salad draws particular praise, alongside a burger one reviewer calls one of the best they've eaten, the steak and lamb and root vegetable pie, the Old Delhi chicken curry, and the Greek beef stew special, with the pistachio slice singled out too. Dogs are repeatedly described as welcomed and even encouraged, and staff are called friendly and attentive across multiple visits, with service often termed slick. A beer garden, live music, and a beer festival weekend also get mentioned favorably. The only recurring caveat, raised once, is that the menu could lean more summer oriented. Otherwise the pattern is consistently positive, with several reviewers noting they plan to return.

“Another great visit to The Swan @ Newland. Good value and excellent quality of food. Only observation was the menu could be a bit more summertime oriented but definitely worth the trip from around the corner.”
- Melanie
“Great food and a good variety of choice. We both chose from the specials board, which we never usually do but the choices on there were too good to miss. Lovely beer garden and there was a calm, welcoming atmosphere. Plenty of parking.”

“Nice pub with friendly and attentive staff. We stayed in the field behind the pub in our motorhome. The food was excellent and good value considering the free overnight stay. We'll definitely be returning.”
