Lovely village pub with something for everyone. Good menu and good service. The pub is attractive both inside and out with lovely garden area for eating and drinking. There are steps down to the door from the car park but I think that the front door might be more accessible. Definitely recommend it.

Lovely meal there. Service quick and responsive without feeling they were too close. Had a nice steak, perfectly cooked for my taste. Son’s burger very good. Husband’s mixed grill excellent.
I like the relaxed atmosphere here. Lovely beer garden too. I will be coming back.

Good food, friendly & smiley staff, pretty quick service and loved how welcoming they are to dogs (we left ours at home, but will definitely bring him next time). They supplied different sized beds, bowls and treats for our furry family members.

Great little village pub, staff were great and food was good. Portions were very generous I had a mixed grill and was plenty for one person, we had bread and oils to start and with 3 different types of bread. Definitely recommend for a nice peaceful meal with great food.

We have been to The Swan a few times and they never disappoint. They now have a seasonal menu prepared by the chef and we ordered a few things from it (rest from the regular menu). Excellently made! Staff were very kind. The cheesecake in the end was delicious.

Food was lovely except for the fish and chips rubbish bit of fish in a massive amount of batter. Showed them, though, and they quickly changed it for another, which was much better. Atmosphere was nice and they were very busy bit overall good.

Out for a family meal the food was good and service was initially prompt when the restaurant was a little quieter.
As it got busier in the evening, I think they were a little understaffed as we waited sometime for the table to be cleared, drinks orders and dessert. This is a minor quabble and wouldn't prevent us returning in future.
I would definitely recommend booking for an evening table, we went on a Tuesday evening and the restaurant was full by the time we had left.

A one-off visit and it was extremely successful. We had three varied meals and they were all good.
Srvice was excellent and it was a nice place - not crowded, not empty.

Excellent pub style restaurant with attentive yet not intrusive staff. Good menu which seems to be changed in rotation so regular diners can find choice as well as old favourites. Reasonably priced and truly sumptuous scoff. Worth more stars if space were made available. Wholeheartedly recommended and worth travelling for the experience. I’m lucky, I live in a nearby village.

Had an enjoyable lunch. My lasagne was great, OH enjoyed the chicken pie. Good chips. Had the small pud + tea/coffee option, that was good too. Friendly helpful staff. It's not chichi nor Michelin, but it's good pub food. They were redoing the thatched roof, amazing.
