The baked camembert was served with a generous amount of toast which in turn was generously buttered with garlic. The fillet steak was perfectly cooked and a great cut, it was served with plenty of good chips. There is plenty of parking at the side of the pub. I look forward to another visit.

It's a little tricky to get to, narrow country roads, etc, but we'll worth it. If you wanting to eat I would advise booking and this place gets busy from the second it opens. Caters to all, especially families and has a wonderful garden and patio. Tim Gray is the landlord of this gem and is hands-on and welcoming. You will not regret visit this amazing pub.

The Leather Bottle used to be a bikers pub but has been taken over by a chain called Bluebeckers…read moreand has been modernised throughout. I visited for lunch yesterday and was very pleasantly surprised, I had been expecting it to be the usual pub chain blandness but it was lovely, full of character. The Leather Bottle is in a nice quiet setting, the outdoor area is spacious and would be gorgeous in the summer. Inside the decor is modern and comfortable with two large dining areas and a small cosy bar area. We sat in the first dining area on the right as you go in the front door. First impression is the delicious smell of good food and the wood burning heater that was nice and warm on a chilly day. The menu is a good range of traditional pub fare (burgers, cottage pie, sausage and mash) and the more unusual (Roquefot, spinach and pear salad with raspberry dressing). We went for the fantastic value lunchtime deal of £8.95 for a starter and main from a selection of the menu, two of us had the spicy vegetable soup with two big chunks of fresh bread each to start (thick, fresh and not too spicy to scare the in-laws!) and two had potato skins which come with guacamole and salsa or bacon and sour cream (the bacon comes as freshly cooked rashers not some horrible diced up processed mixture). For our mains we had a burger and huge chunky chips (the burger unfortunately was very overcooked), cottage pie, gravy & veg (it looked lovely) and I had the cherry tomato cassoulet with haloumi which was absolutely gorgeous. The waiting staff are friendly and attentive enough without being annoying or intrusive. My only complaint was the drinks, I had a diet coke which was foul. It tasted really cheap and nasty like own brand supermarket coke.

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.

The service was ok, the host was great and explained that you order food up front after you decide from menus and drinks from the bar. It may seem awkward but is actually makes for a quick exit. The real disappointment was the food. We started with the calamari. That was pretty decent. The fry was similar to mozzarella sticks, the portions are huge so easily shareable. I ordered the 18 oz t-bone (medium rare), chips and cesar salad. Plenty of chips, they were longer hot and little soggy by the time they got out. The steak was the real disappointment. The cook was rare bordering on blue with very little seasoning. Additionally there was no sear on the steak and it was real tough. The fibers were present through the meat and it was poorly trimmed resulting in almost a fourth of it being inedible. The cesar dressing was real mayo forward. The atmosphere was great with plenty of folks and you could tell weekends are fun. This may have been an off meal but my food on this trip was not representative of the reviews.
