We always have a lovely time at the Sword- today didn’t disappoint. We had a toast which was perfect- portion and temperature. The pub was busy but not noisy. We weren’t rushed either. The staff as always were friendly helpful and efficient. Thank you very much.

Lovely rural venue, friendly staff and excellent food. Perhaps could do with more car park space on busy days - not in a boggy field; and more disabled parking close to the pub
