The Swan - Carte

helpful reception, adequate to good breakfast, pity no seconds of coffee. The ham was real as opposed to microtomed slices nearly everywhere

The food was excellent we pree ordered our food as we went on Christmas Eve. The food was nice and warm when we got it and we had a lovely evening.

Had Dinner here in late July 2022. Starter of Asparagus and Watercress (What else in this area ? , which was peppery and tasty. main was a Lamb and Mint pie with seasonal greens served on the plate. This was a good pastry pie about 50mm... Voir le carte

The Sunday roast was served lukewarm and covered in hot gravy which penetrated the piled up food on the plate. It would have been far better to have served the roast on the plate with separate dishes for the vegetables etc. Desserts were enjoyable.

Our fish sharing platter was delicious and unusual. However, our pies (steak and ale) were decidedly underwhelming. The gravy was a bit on the grey side, the mash lumpy, and the boiled veg overcooked. The whole thing needed a good dose of salt and pepper....

My husband and I have just had a fantastic 4 course meal at The Swan Hotel to celebrate New Year's Eve. Highly recommend the venue, whether for a special occasion, a meal out, or even breakast. The friendliest staff, good food, and even a linited number of free parking spaces. Voir le carte

We've visited The Swan several times in the past. The menu rarely seems to change with very little choice for those who have allergies. We have had the roast dinner in the past but as we've always found it to be tough and a little bland avoided it today. One of our party did choose the roast and really struggled to eat the meat as it was tough. The rest of the food was okay, but we felt we were on a bit of a conveyor belt, service was a little chaotic and the staff a bit unfriendly. It is Mothers' Day so I understand it was busy but when you are spending a lot of money on a meal you should expect to be given a little 1:1 treatment.

We were on holiday in the area, with a small group were looking for a late lunch venue many pubs stop serving at 3pm around there) when we found the Swan so glad we did! We were shown to a big round table, where the 7 of us could sit together, in an eclectically decorated room, and given our menus. A smiling waitress took our orders, and served us very generous portions of excellent food. Sharing platter, fish chips, Irish Stew were some of the orders) We were all so full, we couldn't manage a dessert, but next time...... Good food, generous portions, great staff my only gripe is that it isn't nearer home, but any time I travel down the M3, I know where I'll be aiming to for a meal!

We did not stay at this venue; this review is specifically for the restaurant. We visited for lunch on Mother's Day, but unfortunately, the experience did not meet our expectations. Although the staff were incredibly kind and attentive, the food did not impress us. Many of the dishes lacked flavor, such as the ham hock starter which was particularly bland. It seemed like the restaurant prioritized quantity over quality, as evidenced by the roast dinners covered in generic instant gravy, plain boiled vegetables, dry roast potatoes, and a cauliflower cheese that lacked any cheesiness. The chicken and ham pie was also lacking, with minimal pastry and plain flavors. The salmon dish that our moth... Voir le carte
