Popular gastro pub that is slightly off the beaten track. It has two areas, with the rear area more restauranty. Ales on offer were Otter, TEA and Pride at £3.20 a pint. Nice atmosphere and the food looked great, although I didn't sample any.

I finally got in here last Thursday and have to admit to being somewhat disappointed, but this maybe due to the fact that I was expecting some elaborate fanfare for finding the doors ajar.

The barmaid was OK without being very friendly and the Pride and Harveys were very good. Black Sheep was also available along with Peroni, Hoegarden, San Miguel, Staropramen, Kronenburg, Fosters and Guinness.

Like the previous reviewer I visited here around 18:00 when it was quiet so it didn’t have a gastro feel and the only way that you could tell was from the snippets from Timeout and GPG that have their pride of place in the toilet and on the board outside. From reading the Timeout review I can imagine it being a bit uncomfortable in the evenings if you just want to sit at the bar and have a few beers, but this is only conjecture. There are a couple of benches outside the front of the pub and a beer garden out the back that is “open when the sun is shining”.

This place is a bit out of the way so I doubt that I’ll ever return.

Popped in for a quick half and found it to be a very friendly pub - not really the posh gastro pub I was expecting. I suppose it may have a different atmosphere later on in the evening though (this was 6pm on a Tues).

A good ale selection (St Austell Tribute and Harvey's Best were included), with a menu of 'forthcoming' beer. I didn't try the food and it was too early to see anyone else eating.

Is also a dog-friendly pub, if that suits you.

We tried to go here for Mothers' Day. It can get busy so we went before their advertised kitchen opening hours. Two bored staff watched us heave tables around trying to make a table large enough for 7. They were then reluctant to give us menus to look at because it was 15 mins before the kitchen 'opened' - were they going to have some very last minute changes? The apathy persuaded us to go to The Duke of Sussex instead. I've had some great meals at the Swan, but I'd say the latter beats them now on so many fronts.

I thought that I’d, once again, try to have a drink in here with it being a Wednesday, but alas no joy. There is now a board up outside giving the opening times as:

Weekdays, 5 – 11
Saturdays, 12 – 11
Sundays, 12 – 10:30

I concede defeat!
