We took my mum to The White Swan last night for her birthday meal and we cannot thank the staff enough for making her evening so special. The service, the food, the atmosphere was amazing, the servers couldn?t do enough for us and the team really went the extra mile to make my mums evening special. We were so impressed with how you went above and beyond and we will certainly be back! Thank you again! ??

Met a friend for a drink but the only one female staff member was just mooching around bar area and we didn't even get a greeting. After 5 mins of waiting at bar I had to call her over to serve us. Still no greeting and she said she didn't normally work the bar but would serve us. Then another staff member came and took over our drinks order part way through so I had to relay it all again. Still no greeting although the person serving us was chatting to some regulars throughout. Then a third person came for payment. Still no greeting.
One more round later and we'd already decided we didn't want food but as the diners had finished their meals the pub started emptying. Without any checking if we wanted another drink the staff turned off the lights on the pumps and went and sat the other side of the room. We took the hint they wanted us to leave so we did and as soon as we got outside the door it was locked and bolted and all lights in the room turned off before we'd even walked back to the cars in the car park. This was only 9:40pm and left us feeling very unwelcome and uncomfortable. So much so we wouldn't consider a return visit at all. Very disappointed ?

Three of us called in on Saturday night without a booking and no tables were available as the place was packed, but the staff and landlady couldn?t have been more helpful to accommodate us, we were sorted an outdoor table which was a life saver! The food we all ordered was delicious and you could tell it was homemade and so was the dessert, They have a really big choice and a great Specials Board, Highly recommend this place if you haven?t already been, they really go the extra mile?.We shall be back?

Great service. Quality and quantity. The salad and chilli were incredibly fresh and the lamb shank was so tender that a gentle breeze could have coaxed it off the bone. The vegetables and potatoes were fresh and tasty. It was one of those meals where you just keep on eating even after you're full.

Staying at Yellowtop Country Park and wanted somewhere nice for a meal out on our last night. So glad we chose The White Swan. The staff were amazing and so understanding when our 2 year old had a few tantrums, bringing toys to us for her to play with and help calm her down. The food was amazing, and the portion sizes were so big! We had a lovely evening. If we?re ever in the area again we will definitely be returning for another meal!

Expensive £12.50 and not good value roast beef sandwich (dry and black in places) with small portion of chips, many inedible with black bits. Service slow even though not busy.

Anything less than a 5 star rating would be an insult to this absolute gem of an establishment. We were a group of 4 and randomly chose to eat here as we like to try places that we haven't been to before.. what a find..!!!
Being a landlady in the past and working in hospitality for many years I always find myself judging with a slightly critical eye but I could honestly not find one fault. From the moment we arrived, the bar was busy yet we were greeted immediately and was served very quickly. The menu choice was extensive and mouth watering. We all settled on different items and our order was brought out and presented perfectly. Each member of staff was professional, friendly and helpful and all looked like they enjoyed their work and were proud to host, which really added a personal touch to the service. The meals were delicious, the meat was cooked beautifully and fell off the bone, there were ample potatoes and vegetables all round and we all thoroughly enjoyed every mouthful. Not being able to resist the dessert menu, we had a short break before squeezing in amazing, home cooked puddings.
This wonderful, traditional, country pub excelled and was a credit to the owner/manager, with an obviously highly talented chef and a fantastic team it was by far the best I have been to in a long, long time. The little touches really make the difference and we are looking forward to returning next week with other friends to share our new fave place to eat.
Thank you so much.

Cannot recommend this place enough! We went for a birthday date night for my husband, and the staff and owners went above and beyond for us! They had put some banners on the table and sung happy birthday with a cake, it was absolutely amazing!
The food was excellent, and the CHOICE was incredible - it must have taken me 20 minutes to decide what I wanted off their extensive specials board!
I cant wait to come back!

Vegetarian options: Good variety and the Brie and beetroot tart is excellent

Booked a last minute Sunday Lunch & they fitted us in. The meals were enormous, I had the roast dished up with 3 vegetable side dishes. I couldn't manage it all but they no issue wrapping up my left overs for my doggie. She thoroughly enjoyed her roast ?
