    We went here for Christmas dinner. It was a perfect experience. Food was amazing, service was great too. Staff so friendly and helpful. Christmas songs quietly playing. The festive props were a nice touch. I had a raspberry mojito which was so yummy. Definitely recommend and will be booking for next year. We were 2 adults and 2 children. Staff were happy to make any amendments to food which was great. My children didn’t like the starters on offer so had some garlic bread which they really enjoyed. Thank you and Merry Christmas.

    Was very disappointed on the last 2 times we have been here. The pub itself is nicely done. The service the last 2 times has been sub standard where lots of times staff are leaning around the bar chatting and you are waiting to try and get there attention. Pizza was not cooked long enough with so much cheese it had to be eaten with knife and fork. Food was OK

    Been here a few times and it has been ok, went today and it wasn’t great. To start I had booked the table over a month and a half ago, and stated I was bringing a pram - we were sat down with the pram at the end of the table with not much walk way space, the man stated I should have told them I was coming with a pram so we would be put somewhere else (which I told him I already had, clearly hadn’t read my request) we were then moved which was faff fitting in. Food wasn’t great, just warm! Not sure if it’s just what I ordered but my family said the same there’s was very bland. Came out very quickly so clearly a microwave job.

    The best pub meal we've ever had! This is a gem of a pub with a remarkable menu. The range of dishes available is unlike anything we've seen at any other pub and "spoilt for choice" certainly applies here. We will certainly be returning to try more of the amazing dishes on offer. Really tasty food, good portions, excellent service, an excellent range of drinks (gin lovers will not be disappointed) and a nice comfy ambience too. Absolutely superb!!

    Brilliant night. The food was excellent. The entertainment, Lady Imelda, was superb. She has a fantastic voice and is extremely funny. Bit risqué at times but done in such a way NOT to offend. We will, of course, be back to The White Swan and certainly up to watching Lady Imelda again.

    Sunday lunch was delicious and both myself and my partner had no trouble with clearing our plates. The portion size of our lunch was very good and all cooked just as we like. The only negatives I would say was that I have never paid for a glass of soda water before and the size of our malteaser cheesecake was embarrassingly small for the £8:95 that we paid for it. I do think a small dessert is good after such a lovely meal but I did feel this was overpriced. Other than those small niggles we had a lovely meal and I would recommend.
