| A beautiful pub in a lovely peaceful location, but can get very busy. Situated in Little Bollington (near Altrincham) close to Dunham Park and just a few short yards from the River Bolin it's in the perfect spot. This pub has seen major extensions over recent years with the food/restaurant side of things now seemingly it's main focus. It consists of a small but cozy front room, with a rear bar that stretches right back to incorporate the restaurant area. Outside is a huge decking area which is lovely on sunny days. The front bar is dimly lit, but has lots of character (and a real fire in winter), the back room less so. Refreshingly, there is a complete lack of games machines & TV's in this pub which makes it ideal, if like me, you enjoy conversation or pint in peace & quiet. On the evening of my visit (23/6/11) there were 6 beers on tap, T'Taylors~Landlord, Wells~Bombardier, Dunham Massey~IPA, Dark Mild & Big Tree, Coach House~Swan with Two Nicks, a good mix and all were in good condition. I found the bar staff exceptionally pleasant & helpful, with full measures being served on every occasion. As for the food, I didn't participate so I can't comment, but I've read the mixed comments prior to writing this. All I can say is, it did look & smell good. The clientèle seems to be pretty mixed, but with a leaning towards the better off amongst us. It's also very popular with walkers & mountain bikers on sunny days and weekends. The Achilles heel for most pubs are the toilets, no such trouble here, they too were spotless. In a nut shell, this is a lovely old country pub, which is hard to fault, but for me there was one major set back however, the price of the beer. Hey, I don't mind paying a little over the top, but at over £3 a pint, the prices here are expensive. lwalker101 - 24 Jun 2011 21:13 |
| I have registered here because I can no longer find the Swan with Two Nicks website? I logged a review on the food back in November 2010 as it was despicable. Anyhow we returned yesterday, the 20th of February 2011 not my choice but I have to say it was an absolute revelation! The food was fresh and hot and in my opinion, the staff great as usual. I do not know what has changed but I have to say the food was absolutely fantastic and a joy, now let’s not confuse the comment with a Michelin star restaurant but this is pub grub and by far the best I have ever had and the whole group which their was 8 of us agreed. Well well worth a visit, I hope they keep this up as we will be back many times. Thank you, Justin StalyVegas Justinc1 - 21 Feb 2011 12:12 |
| Pub food...what a waste of time...always 'Brake Brothers'...and so girly!. Ale here tho was good - good selection of Dunham Ales, house brew was from Warrington brewhouse Coach & Horses. Ale of the night tho was the ever present Timmy Taylor Landlord - top notch. kernott1 - 8 Oct 2010 19:33 |
| Got to give them 10 out of 10 for the cask ale. Menu seemed slighty pricey. Motorway - 10 Aug 2010 18:50 |
| A pretend gastro pub with high prices to match, pity they just serve terrible frozen food. Good range of beers though including the excellent and local Dunham Massey. Scottie_chorlton - 29 Apr 2010 16:42 |
