Food was good (ordering on the app wasn't great, but not the pubs fault). Didn't have the drinks that I ordered and had paid for so had to have substitutes.
Pub wasn't the cleanest, could do with a refurb.
Service was quite poor, I had to find our own cutlery and serviettes (in a drawer so not easy to find).
Location was good.
Could be a stunning pub, just needs a little tlc.

A very enjoyable lunch en famille. The meals were lovely and we were very well looked after. Thank you very much particularly to Vivienne who was kind and sympathetic with a lovely smile. We shall certainly be back!

We were in The Swan as they have a live band once a month, normally the last Saturday of the month.
A great fun atmosphere with lots of singing and dancing. We didn't eat but the food looked good (others eating near us).

- do not answer the phone when trying to book.
- online system to book does not work effectively
- food took over an hour to arrive
- big breakfast had nigh on cremated sausages.
- messed up and order of chips and said we could take them (put cheese on them by mistake).
- very very loud inside. Granted half term, but it just seemed excessive.
- absolutely no staff at bar at busy times and till operative taking our order needed to ask for assistance multiple times as did not know standard menu items.
- was only one bar staff at peak time.
- toilets need upgrading as we're dirty.

A very old coaching inn with lots of atmosphere. Had brother's 50th here. Had buffet food which was good. This pub has function rooms. Small car park at rear but large public long stay car park at riverside meadows, a short walk away. Will go again.

We came here as we were going to Harry Potter and was early. Found a table strait away. We ordered food and said there was a 45 min which wasn’t a problem food came out in 15-20 mins. Food was really good I had the double bacon cheeseburger and my mrs had a lasagne. Both were really delicious. Pleasent staff and a nice vibe to the place.

Visited with my son for lunch while he's recovering from his 21st. It was quiet but nice. The two bar staff were very pleasant and friendly. The food was prompt and very tasty. In the past, evening meals there have been a bit hit and miss but we had a very enjoyable bit of father and son time and yes they did check his ID.

Nice open and spacious, foods good, regular events. Lots of outdoor seating although heaters haven't worked for quite a while.
Car park, wifi, quiz night, live music once a month.

Found this pub to pass some time while most of the family did a trip to Harry Potter experience.
This is quite a large pub with a good car park that does food. The place was clean and tidy and the decor was good.
The ladies serving behind the bar were great and really friendly and it appeared to be a place that the locals love as many were spoken to by name, but they made us outsiders very welcome.
I always think having owners or staff like this is makes the experience so much better.
They had a good menu but as we were just waiting we only had snacks of the menu but they were really well cooked and came quite quickly.

Essy to book a table online if you plan to eat.
Good food for a pub and reasonably prices with a good selection to choose from.
Staff are very polite and are a credit to pub chain .
Had a nice sunday roast.
