"Visited with my 2 year old daughter as a treat, ordered chicken nuggets for her and a burger for myself. Waited 45 minutes, during which was told a few times it would only be a few minutes. Lots of large orders coming out from the kitchen for customers who came in after me. When the food finally arrived it wasn 't worth it. Burger order was wrong and looked a mess. When I questioned the staff I was actually told to 'smile, its christmas ' and also given the choice of, and I quote, 'redo the burger, have my money back or do one ' not impressed with the staff. And will be having my money back. Don 't bother wasting your money here."

A few underage drinkers but as long as the landlord is making his money he isn 't worried. Seems to be the in place to score and use whatever substances you want to aswell

Dreadful, watered down OJ, cider undrinkable, warm bottles. RIP off price. Dirty ashtrays everywhere. I rarely review unless it's extremely good or bad... avoid it's a terrible pub.

Great place to sit with the dog while mrs goes shopping always a good selection of ciders to sample. Must be good place, many local bar flies frequent the place all seem to own the place

Had lunch on 27th Dec. Waited 40 mins for an overpriced load of rubbish. Cold plates, cindered burger, tiny portion of three bean chilli. Tired and worn out place and that’s not just the decor.

The White Swan is a pub. Nothing really stands out, positively or negatively. They do serve some good beers at The White Swan. Only downside is the huge flashing slot machine that has a very prominent place in the pub.

Went here with my partner for lunch, the service was good and when ordering I was greeted and spoken to very well. My partner and I both agreed the food was very good. The White Swan is a very traditional pub offering a great selection of local drinks and the food is lovely.

I asked for the ploughman’s salad from the lunch menu in the evening. The chef was happy to oblige and I have to say it was delicious!! Thank you x we will definitely be back next time we are in Swanage. Highly recommend this pub and they have good bands on too. Bar staff are really friendly and drinks prices are average.

"We had the best time here on Saturday lunch. We arrived early to a quiet restaurant and were greeted by super friendly and well informed staff, who made us feel at ease and explained their new ‘small plates’ menu. Our kids were given a nice menu with colouring in and nothing seemed too much to ask for. We decided to let our 4 and 6 year old order from their kids menu and hoped they would try some of our dishes too. The menu really is very appealing, so much so that the 3 adults ended up ordering EVERY dish they had on the menu in the end! I think it was 16 various dishes of meats, fish, veggies and pasta’s. All homemade and with a really modern vibe. Our waitress was soo good at making us feel at ease we had the best time. A few dishes were ordered and came out really fast we were overjoyed at how beautiful they looked, and the flavours we so well balanced and punchy we got really giddy and decided to order all of the other dishes and just share them all out. Have to say each dish was a triumph, my favourite was the pork ‘burnt ends’ with sweet and sour carrots and a mustard sauce, my partners was the pointed cabbage dish with sesame, my mothers the beetroot and goats cheese crispy ball. They all were delicious, and our kids tried loads of new things like a crab pasta and a cheesey focaccia. It seems like they really thought these little dishes out soo well, temperatures, textures, colours, flavours, elegance we’ve not had anything like this outside of London. So, 16 plates in, plus the kids had their main course… we were all full up, felt like we’d been on a culinary adventure. And then we were offered something sweet okay maybe we were just being greedy, maybe we just couldn’t resist not trying more?! The kids had a ‘build your own dessert’ of ice cream and sauces and sprinkles and cake bits looked great but sadly only for kids! We had their ‘sweet things’, kind of like large petit fours. Chocolatey cake balls, salted caramel truffles and tart passion fruit jellies all were amazing! By the time we left, the restaurant was really busy and I can see why we will most certainly be coming again! Thank you!"
