“The Swan is back! We used to visit regularly but it went down hill so we stopped visiting for probably 2 years. We thought we'd give it another shot after hearing some good reviews and we were glad we did. The service is speedy and the food is good value and plentiful. So if you're after a no-frills place (this is intended as a compliment!) where you can get a good burger, mixed grill, nachos etc without having to remortgage the house, then give The Swan a try. We'll be back for sure.”

“Fantastic pub with such a welcoming atmosphere! The staff were attentive, friendly, and really on the ball throughout. The food was lovely—served hot, full of flavour, and exactly what you want from proper pub grub 😁 Tables were kept clean, and plates were cleared promptly without ever feeling rushed. All the staff seemed genuinely happy, which made the whole experience even better. A great meal at a great price for the whole family—would definitely recommend 👌”
