The Swan Inn, Stoford

This pub does not seem to be at first glance a "drinking" pub, however, there did seem to be some very happy looking locals at the bar. The food was fantastic, delicious. Was there with my very fussy family, everyone was kept happy. Staff were very friendly, but not in your face annoying. Having had a terrible experience at the Royal Oak over the road, I would brave the very busy road, to get into the Swan, knowing that I will be rewarded for the effort.

The Royal Oak Inn, Great Wishford

Apart from the fact that my food took one and a half hours to arrive, when it did it was not worth the wait. Unluckily for us the Landlord decided that we would like to talk to him, rather than to our friends, so as well as being hungry we were bored too. Won't be going back. We now know the reason why, the chef, who was wonderful, is no longer there. Therefore the Michelin recommended section on their website is no longer current.
