  “Ideally situated after a pleasant walk around pugneys country park. We came across this pub, it was lovely inside & sat by the fireplace. Food was excellent & staff friendly, in particular Wendy who served us. An added bonus for dog lovers, it had a dog menu which I thought was great. My daughter thought this lovely & will definitely pay a visit with her dog.”

  “Food was good better than we expected. Had the carvery. Meat was good, not dry. Staff were very good too . Chefs serving very helpful and bar staff good. Potatoes very nicely cooked, fluffy and not dry like some places do. Didn't have to wait. Good drinks selections. Gave us the table we requested and let us move tables and were very helpful with that. Toilets clean. I only put 4 as I think could be a little cleaner in some of the sofas and maybe needs a little revamp, including the outside tables.”

  “We had a great meal at the Swan & Cygnet. The lasagna was really tasty, full of flavour, and the burger was absolutely huge – definitely worth ordering if you're hungry! We chose to sit in one of the outdoor hut seating areas, which made for a lovely, relaxed atmosphere and added something a bit different to the experience. The food, setting, and overall visit were excellent, and we'd happily come back again. Highly recommended!”

  “After a terrible christmas party I haven't been back in almost 2 years. Recently we got a 40% off voucher and thought it's been years it must have improved but how wrong we we're. Tills went down, told to order on app but then wouldn't wouldn't accept the voucher. The tills came back on so we managed to (unfortunately) order at the bar. Should have left then but stayed. 50 minuets it took for our 2 mixed grills to arrive and it was fairly quiet (not surprised now) for a Saturday afternoon. The only decent thing on the plate was the chips. Peas like bullets, sausages just returned from armageden, steak full of gristle and overcooked, tomato burnt to a crisp on the bottom. Save some time and money and head to the toby carvery down the road.”

  “Went for a Carvery today with my dog and my ex,normally the Carvery is brilliant but sadly today it was not. Was near to 1pm so not like the food had been sat out for hours but was luke warm(even the fresh out of the kitchen cauliflower cheese was cold)and had no cheese flavour at all.. Very tight portions of meat for the price and beef was the last of the joint and the tiny slice was rock hard (Tilly dog had to chew it well and she normally gulps meat down). All served by a very unhappy lady with no manners it seems as I later found out she spoke to my ex in a very bad tone(Don't you know there is a bell to ring ? when there no clear signage of this)my ex is very patient and polite so quite shocking.. We had our dog with us so went up separately while each handled the dog.. All in all a very bad meal with a very powdery texture like things came out of a packet and the gravy was transparent and watery but again packet like.. Real shame because it's always been great in the past.. £8 for a pint of coke and a diet coke is a joke btw.. Staff attitude means a lot so the unhappy server needs telling her bad day has nothing to do with customers paying good money for low par food.. Please get back to where you were before. Sorry my review isn't great but it reflects my experience today. Edit...It's ok saying sorry and can you put it right but you have given no option to redeem that offer so your reply is useless... An email for a small discount would be good...Nobody expects a free meal... The main point for me is I can't ever recommend you again...”

  “We had a fantastic visit to the Swan & Cygnet. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, the pub was clean and well looked after, and the food and drinks were excellent. A special mention has to go to Natalie, who provided outstanding service from start to finish. She was friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome, going above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. We'll definitely be returning and would highly recommend the Swan & Cygnet to anyone looking for great food, excellent service, and a lovely atmosphere. Thank you, Natalie, for making our visit so enjoyable!”

  “The Swan & Cygnet truly excels as a versatile community hub, and my recent visit for a creative event perfectly highlighted why this venue stands out in the local area. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere strikes a balance between a contemporary, polished pub and a warm, welcoming social space. It is rare to find a venue that can accommodate a large group of budding artists without it feeling cramped or intrusive to other diners, but the layout here handles it with ease. The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the social energy. We participated in a painting session—specifically creating those colorful Highland Cows seen in the photos—and the environment was incredibly conducive to creativity and laughter. The lighting was bright enough for our work but still maintained a cozy evening glow. What really makes the Swan & Cygnet a five-star experience, however, is the staff. Despite having a large group to manage alongside their regular patrons, the service remained seamless. They were attentive, ensuring our drinks were topped up and that we had everything we needed, all while maintaining a friendly and "nothing is too much trouble" attitude. Whether you are looking for a place to host a specific event, a work social, or just a reliable spot for a high-quality meal, this pub delivers. The interior is clean and modern, yet it hasn't lost that quintessential "local" feel where you feel comfortable settling in for a few hours. It’s a fantastic example of a modern British pub that understands the importance of providing more than just food and drink—it provides an experience. I’ll certainly be keeping an eye on their calendar for future events, as it’s clearly a cornerstone for social gatherings in the community.”

  “We visited this restaurant while visiting the area and the experience was very poor. The seating is extremely worn and dirty. The cutlery is evidently old and presented poorly. We ordered fish and chips plus a burger. The fish and chips was the worst I have experienced in a restaurant. The chips appeared reheated and the fish was so dry and unappealing and tasteless. The wine glass was dirty and obviously old. I would not visit this restaurant again in the future at all. Very disappointing and I would rate it zero if that was an option.”

  “I visited her with my two SEN children, I chose somewhere fairly local and what I hoped would be a quiet time. It was quiet but not empty, the service was superb, all staff were very friendly especially Wendy, We ordered a carvery, a curry & something from the child's menu. The carvery looked delicious and the mash was not smash! My daughter ate all her chicken nuggets and my Tikka Masala was spot on. We will be back :)”
