The Swan is a classic country pub with everything you would hope for - beams, roaring log fires and…read morea warm welcome from the friendly landlord and landlady and the bar staff. This pub has loads of character. The food is classic pub food, at good prices and a high standard (home made, not delivered and microwaved) available in the day and evenings. There is a separate function room at the back where live music events (bands and a regular jam night every Sunday) are held. This gives the bands enough space and keeps them out of the way of the main pub for those who want to drink or eat without music . The Swan gets some great bands and people come from far and wide for these. There is a car park round the back. Well worth a visit for a meal, the live music or a pint in lovely traditional surroundings.

I finished mine, but he kinda dug out the middle because it wasn't edible for him. The service was good and the place had a lot of character.

Disappointed to say the least. We booked for dinner, the restaurant wasn't very busy, but it took…read more15 minutes to get a server. My husband ordered a salad, and fish (cod) and chips and I ordered hamburger and chips. I could not eat the burger ( enough said) and although the menu said the fish was hand breaded, it was not. Looked and tasted like frozen and refried. The peas were cold. I would have told someone, but nobody came to check. They do have a nice outdoor area, with a stream, but as a mobility challenged person, no way it was accessible to me.

A decent selection of beers, this is a Fuller's pub so I went with their Ascot tercentary golden ale. For mains, my friend had the lasagne. Extremely hot, he said it was quite good. I saw lots of meat in there and the cheese was grilled on top. I had the green Thai curry, which was vegetarian. With too much rice, it was also very hot. I think they probably cook the stuff before and then microwave when it's ordered but I'm not sure. The place started to fill up as we ate and the parking area was completely filled by the time we left. They also have a few tables outside.

They also have regular quiz nights, and big screens for when the rugby/football is on.
