"We booked in August for a stay of 2 nights in December. When booking we informed the hotel that one of our party was a coeliac and also repeated this when confirming our reservation. One of the reasons we chose The Swan was because the menus looked gluten free friendly. In this case gfo seems to stand for gluten free omission as opposed to gluten free option! At dinner the first night the gf fish offered was small, overcooked and looked as if it had been bought in. The desserts were gluten free if the gluten free products could be removed eg. ice cream but no brandy basket. At breakfast the sausage had to be omitted from the full English because it wasn’t gluten free, the gluten free toast was burnt on one side. There were no gf cereals available. The Christmas meal consisted of a risotto that was lovely but no sausage or stuffing with the main meal and a minuscule Christmas pudding. Next morning the breakfast came with one slice of gluten free toast. Apparently they needed to go to the Tesco Express if any more was needed. When all this was mentioned at reception the receptionist could only say that her gluten free friends had far worse service at other places. She also said that although it had been on our booking for several months the kitchen were not informed until the day of eating about dietary needs. All in all it was a very disappointing experience."

Really great service and excellent food. Nothing was too much trouble and many gluten free options were available and all dietary requirements seemed to be no problem at all

I asked for a vegan menu and when the waitress puzzled over the menu and said I could have soup or green salad obviously we promptly left. It 's 2023 and vegan food is normally!!! Will not return. View menu

Stopped by in the Xmas week while passing through. Early evening dinner. Fish n chips with two large pieces of fish. Beef and mushroom stew with dumplings. All very tasty, all large portions. Would visit again.

We were tempted in by the salads advertised on the board outside and were not disappointed. The service was lovely and the food arrived promptly. We had ceasar salads and ploughman's and ham egg and chips . The portions were very generous and the quality of the food outstanding. We had the best lunch of our holiday here so we would all recommend this hotel .

We organised a surprise leaving/emigration party for my mum this afternoon. Whilst having an amazing roast dinner with immediate family, friends set to decorating the dining room. When a few guests arrived at the wrong time with mum spotting them, Lino the manager was quick off the mark ushering them away to their ‘pretend’ table. Helen and her team made the most amazing cakes, Pip and Co were just so understanding and nothing was too much trouble. The food was traditional home cooked pub food, really tasty. We would highly recommend. View menu

Had a fabulous night in the Swan tonight. The room was fab and set up beautifully and we came early to decorate as it was an 80th birthday. The food was amazing, tasty, and decent portions. We had 6 different meals between the 12 of us and they were all delicious. The waiting staff were great and special thanks to Angie who booked us the Snug room, which was the perfect size room, giving us some family privacy. She introduced herself and was attentive without being intrusive. Just a perfect night for a special birthday. Thanks to all at the Swan. Good job xxx

Visited for breakfast with a family member. The place didn’t seem to be busy, only a couple of other tables were occupied when we arrived. We asked a staff member to take our order as we had a baby to feed. The staff member growled at me she’ll take our order in a minute. Another staff member sensing her hostility then came over, apologised for her colleagues reaction and took our order for two breakfasts, tea, toast and fruit juice We couldn’t have been made to feel less welcome and when we chased our toast for the second we were met with a really glowering look. She might as well have not brought it out as we’d almost finished our breakfast by this point. The atmosphere was tense and awful...
