Ourselves and two other couples get together once a month for a meal at different restaurants and pubs. We chose the Sword in Hand as it has a good reputation for food, and isn’t far from where we live. The meal was exquisite, 4 of us having the “Christmas pie” and thoroughly enjoyed it. The other 2 had chicken schnitzel, and fish and chips, who also had no complaints. The service was impeccable, giving extra commendation to the younger staff who were very attentive, ensuring we were happy with the meals and drinks. I would definitely recommend a visit.

We travelled nearly an hour for Sunday lunch and it was well worth the journey. Food was incredible, the best Sunday roast we’ve had in ages. You will not be disappointed. Portions were generous and service was spot on. We shared the pain au chocolate bread and butter pudding which was heaven on a plate. We will definitely be returning!
