    We ate at The White Swan today, for Mothers Day Lunch. Food was tasty, hot and plentiful. Roast Lamb with all the trimmings. Desert, we had sticky toffee pudding. It was delicious. Plenty of Gluten Free options. Service was excellent. We’ll be back soon, Thanks.

    Good pub food, large portions, certain days have generous discount offers. Warm and cosy, busy for a Monday. My pork belly was delicious and a huge meal. Unfortunately one veggie option was off, but there were options to keep a veggie happy

    Lovely food, friendly staff however when we were asked if we would like dessert we replied yes and gave our order . 20-25 mins later I asked where the desserts were they had forgotten them so we had to reordered! Also another table near ours were still eating their main meal when the staff came out with their desserts and had to take them back, when they finally got them they were the wrong items! However this has not put us off returning again as the food was plentiful and tasty .
