My husband and I have just visited the recently refurbished White Swan which we were really looking forward to having been frequent visitors before it closed. Whilst the restaurant looks fabulous we only use this for family occasions. We were disappointed with the bar. It was cold ( needed to keep coats on ) as opposed to the toilets which were positively tropical. We came for a bar meal and were very disappointed with the menu and the prices. There was little choice and nothing on it that we would not have at home. The whole point of eating out is to have something different and whilst what we did have was ok I could it do at home as well if not better. Considering it was Saturday tea time the place was nearly empty and we were the only ones eating.
If the owner wants to make a go of the place he really needs to look at his bar trade which previously was always busy. We certainly will not be going as often as we used to unless this improves.
We are going to eat with family in the Restaurant soon and will update you on this at later date read more
