A good pub on a normal day, top pub during their Beer Festival. Wide range of beers of all styles, excellent pies and samosas. Jukebox a little loud if you're near a speaker. A worthwhile visit.First (and long overdue) visit to the Engineers but well timed to coincide with beer festival. Beer Festival well organised with vast range of ales, many from smaller breweries too. Samosas were excellent and very friendly pub all around - Landlord and staff. Will definitely return when in the area.Kevin & Claire, Thank you for the effort that you have put into the 15th Henlow Beer Festival. We've only managed to sample 6 out of your 100 beers so far but we'll be back tomorrow and over the weekend to give our best shot at getting through them all! Once again big thanks to you and your team for a fabulous event. S&H xxx
.... To anyone who hasn't yet visited the Engineers Arms .... What are you waiting for?? ... also just heard that they're doing a cider festival in Feb 2011 ... can't wait!

Comfotable lovely looking pub with decent menu and beer on tap. nicest pub in the area, but maybe not the most happening atmosphere. Great for a lunch stop off or evening meal.Arrived at the Old Swan having been denied even a serving of sandwiches at 14.05 by the Three Horseshoes up the road from here. 6 hungry and thirsty walkers anxious to spend a good bit of cash.

Excellent hot lunch ordered at 14.20 hours, excellent beer, served with a welcoming smile. Went out of their way to accommodate said walking party.

Well done, Old Swan! You certainly put the Three Horseshoes to shame and as a consequence you got a handy three figure sum of revenue which the TH could have had, had they had the interests of customers at heart.

Clearly the Old Swan is the better pub in Cheddington!
This great old country pub ticks all the boxes. It is well used by the locals, serving a good range of ales lagers and ciders. The St Austell Brewery Tribute Ale was in superb condition as was the Westons Stowford Press Cider. The staff are very attentive and could not be more obliging. The food is very good, we will return.

Great pub that has recently been refurbished in October hence the previous comments.The food is of a great standard and is reasonablly priced.Great open fire with cosy tub chairs.Good atmosphere with friendly landlord and locals.
Can recomend for lunch or dinner and especially Sunday lunch...great value.Pub as been redecorated for first time in over 20 years!! (Which was probably why it was shut) Landlord is really friendly, cant fault the food, Its cheap, nice atmosphere, Really like the fire! Their tub chairs are comfy too! Great decision to redecorate as its what it needed!Drove by on 8/10/10 to go in for a drink and food. Sadly boarded up, windows covered in newspaper, sign taken down, looking like it has shut for good.

A loss to the area, this was on last visit an excellent pub.

Unpretentious corner boozer which, as mentioned is handy for a stop if you are picking up from the nearby Parkway station.
Deuchars IPA and Pride on Friday night and both were very well kept.
Good friendly service from the Thai family who obviously run this pub well, and although I did not eat, plenty of people were.
Will definately use again when meeting someone from the station.Not far from Parkway station. They had Pride and Landlord on draught but saw no one drinking it so went for lager. Serves Thai food (served by Thai staff). Reasonable enough pub in an area where there aren't too many. Should have tried the Pride though as the bloke who came in after me ordered a pint and it looked quite healthy.Much better than it looks on the outside. This pub has an excellent cosy traditional atmosphere, in addition to excellent reasonably priced food. The owners are a lovely thai family who are incredibly friendly and obviously care about running a great pub. Beer on offer was Deuchars and London Pride in addition to all the usual tap stuff, all reasonably priced e.g. a Stella was £2.90, with ale slightly cheaper. Also had Flowers! a rare spot nowadays! On reflection one of the best pubs in town.

We went there to celebrate our son's 50th birthday, on a Friday. we were hugely disappointed by the whole experience. We were not met on arrival, we had to ask if they were ready for us to be seated, we then waited 15 mins then asked for a menu, we then waited 1 hour for our mains, which after 45mins we asked how long they would be, and were told they were the next ones out, we then sat and watched 6 other meals being brought out! The meals were ok, but only 2 of my guests were asked if they wanted veg or salad so the rest of us had none. We were a party of 9. Before ordering the dessert we asked if they would be long, we were told not, but they were and the sticky toffee puddings were barely luke warm. Overall a dreadful experience on what should have been a celebration. We will not be returning.The menu starter menu was far too pretentious, the mains ranged from burgers to steaks, service dreadful.Lovely decor, well written and thought of menu and on my first visit it was lovely and i had no problems, couldnt have faulted it. Returned on sunday and even though staff were polite, the atmosphere was lovely and decor was still nice the food wasnt the same quality. Our food took literally minutes tobe delivered so i had barely had one bite into the bread and oils My roast lamb was fatty, i couldnt cut my potatoes, veg was basically raw, no one checked back to see if we were okay and i couldnt get anyonesattention for another drink as staff seemed panicked and running around and the desert we had was pretty pricey!! It may just have been a bad experience but it puts me off returning!! Sorry :(I visited this pub with my mother for lunch on Sunday and have to say it has been decorated beautifully. Our table wasn't quite ready so we sat in the lounge (lovely rug on the floor) and had a drink. There were a lot of staff on duty and though they were friendly if I had any criticism they didn't really go that extra mile for us and we did feel a little rushed. The food was pleasant but a slight disappointment considering the decor. We were surprised we had to pay for bread with our soup and the desserts were quite pricey.
