What fab food, this isn't your average 'pub grub', the chef here is very talented and cooks and present to perfection. I had pigeon the 1st night and how delicious it was too, I've had pigeon in a michelin starred restaurant... More

Wonderful range of real ales and friendly unpretentious traditional bar with stone flags. A range of nice wines and sunday roasties on the bar at weekends. Limited number of tables but the food is really very good, restaurant quality without the high prices, locally sourced. The place is understated and low key rather than trumpeting its virtues from the rooftops.... More

Having some French relations over, called for a trip to a local pub and the Swan met the bill. There was 10 of us which could seem imposing for a small village pub but it was all taken in their stride by he staff at the Swan. Everyone was very accommodating, even allowing us to have some sample beers for... More

Fantastic food in an informal but very nice setting. I've driven past this pub many times without knowing what we were missing. I looked around on TA to find a reasonably priced restaurant with good reviews for a family dinner and don't regret it a bit. A lovely night out. More

Lots of different beers on tap something we don't get in SA, but what disappointed me was the bar staff didn't use the right glass with the beer you asked for. Very wrong in my eyes. Outstanding food served. More

We eat here at least twice a week and have yet to be disappointed. The appearance belies the quality of the food. The service is excellent, the food outstanding and the wines reasonable. Please don't sell ... More

We often go to The Swan to eat or relax with a drink. A simple, honest pub with an intimate atmosphere and incredible food. The service is relaxed, so if you're after quick fire serving this may not be for you. If, however, you like good beer, winding down and experiencing excellent cuisine, plus you're in the area, you're in... More

From the succulent vinaigrette sauce on the starter salad to the generous crème brûlé by way of the very satisfying steak frites, this meal fulfilled all its promise. The friendly, attentive staff add to the pleasure as does the living fire. More
