| Concur with chrismouse's comments from 2 years ago. Walked several miles through fields to get here to work up an appetite, only to discover they'd stopped doing food 20 minutes earlier than they'd told me on phone that very same morning. Not even a sandwich offered as others got food brought to thier tables some 15/20 minutes after we asked. Complaints heard from neighbouring tables regarding size and price of food they'd brought. Barely room to move inside with as much London tweed and as many kids as possible crammed in. To rub salt in the wounds, old photos on the wall of working men in flat caps teasingly remind you of what it used to be like. One thing I did like were the toilet signs. A hen for the ladies, a cock for the gents and a chicken in a wheelchair for the disableds. Tickled me even more when after relaying this information, my partner confessed to looking for a drawing of a male member on the door. Got lost on return journey and struggled through fields with electric fences and sheep. Was glad to get home, even if still hungry johnwarkstache - 8 Jan 2009 19:26 |
| as my previous review..which the Landlord has clearly had removed due to his non-agreement.... if you run a pub, you have to expect a certain criticism, especially if your service is good/average only to your preferred customers.... I wont go here again, neither will anybody I know... alehouses - 11 Dec 2007 11:50 |
| I agree with the last comment. Earlier review by Chrismouse indicates that he should get real and remove the chip from his shoulder.This is a beautifully and thoughtfully restored pub offering excellent country pub food,3 well kept real Ales,2 log fires and furniture that has been in the pub for 100 years!If he feels so strongly about his romantic vision of pubs perhaps he should run one himself. archieoe - 6 Dec 2007 13:29 |
| Some of these comments are shocking, i do wonder if people understand the concept of a modern village pub. Pubs can't offer just the tradtional beer anymore or else they dont make any money. The swan offers great food and DOES have freindly staff who DON'T sweep you to the next available table. I would recommend the swann inn to any of my friends as i know they offer high quality service, food and drink. Comments from people who want to live in the 18th century are not very helpful. bridger - 5 Dec 2007 11:36 |
| Decor and refurb is great its a shame the service and food didn't live up to the surroundings. Having staff that argue with you for sending back burnt poor quailty food and then billing you for the pleasure is not my idea of a relaxed dinning experience. You can certainly find alot better in terms of quality, service and price locally. Very Poor and couldn't recommend striker9 - 19 Mar 2007 19:35 |
