I’ve been to the white swan a few times, and I’ve never had a bad way to say about it. The food is amazing, always got an amazing selection of foods, drinks and the staff are even better. So polite and always got a smile on their face and go out of their way to make sure everyone is okay and everything is the way it should. The best night I’ve had in there was when it was my partners birthday I took a few things in balloons, roses and flowers and they had it all set up for us with champagne on the table it was amazing❤️

I live in student accommodation at UoB, came here with my friends and wasn’t a far walk at all. The lady that ran the pub was lovely as it was the first time we came in and she gave us a few pints for free. The seating and general vibe of the pub is very warm and welcoming. Would recommend!! :)

Brilliant night, both had the lamb and it was amazing ! Our waiter was Arvan who was very attentive and had excellent customer service. Couldn’t fault our whole experience, definitely will be returning. Also the espresso martini was delicious!

I was last there two years ago when there several niggling things wrong with the experience. I reviewed it and was impressed to receive a reply saying you valued the criticisms and would use them to improve the offering.
It would appear that those weren’t just words because I am pleased to say that everything ran much more smoothly this time. We arrived half an hour before the time of our booking for a drink in the bar. After a few minutes, we were told a table had become available should we wish to start lunch a bit early - which we did. That made us feel valued.
We had different roasts and everything on the plates was delicious. Portion sizes were spot-on. One meal came with a mini-pan of gravy, the other had gravy already poured over. We preferred the mini-pan. If anything, the meals arrived a bit t quickly. And, to continue being über-picky, they could’ve been just a couple of degrees hotter. Overall, we were very satisfied, though. Another tiny caveat; a jar of horseradish sauce arrived promptly but with a dessert spoon rather than a teaspoon; and a saucer under the jar would’ve given us somewhere to park the horseradishy spoon instead of directly on the table (we could’ve left it sticking out of the jar, I suppose).
Wines by the glass were enjoyed and correctly and promptly served.
Sticky toffee pudding with ginger ice cream was a smash hit. White chocolate crème brûlée was also great with plenty of white chocolate flavour and a super-thin, perfectly brûléed top. I would point out, however, that the menu promised an accompaniment of lemon sugared raspberries (which sounded like a fabulous combination with the brûlée) but they turned out to be just two or three (literally) berries acting more as decoration, and not evidently lemony or sugary.
Lunch for two wasn’t exactly a bargain but was perfectly reasonably priced in these inflationary times.
The staff were efficient and uniformly lovely. And you attract a civilised, family-oriented crowd.
At the risk of repeating myself, all the above criticisms are really small and are mentioned only because you asked for feedback. Thank you for a very enjoyable time.

Setting is lovely, staff are lovely. We came for Sunday roast which was also lovely, just not enough in serving. I had 2 small roast potatoes and my partner who is a big eater, picked something up on the way home. Pricier than some other great roasts we have had.

Had a fabulous Sunday lunch! The food was delicious and the staff friendly and helpful. We were seated early when a table became available. Our waiter Grace was so brilliant - attentive and went out of her way to ensure we had absolutely everything we needed! Superb - definitely going back!

It's my second time for mother's day in that place. It was absolutely amazing, delicious food, quick kind service nice atmosphere. Another great time with my daughter in that beautiful place. Is also worth to mention car park is for free and what is the best for animals lovers.. You can take them with you x
