The food was amazing but the best part was the service! Absolutely amazing service from beginning to end! This is the first pub we have been to where we weren't just seated, order taken, food brought out and then forgotten about! We were checked on, asked if we would like more drinks and didn't need to find someone to order more drinks or food! With service like that and amazing food, of course we will be going back!
Delicious food, friendly and attentive staff. Would highly recommend and will certainly visit again. Mixed grill well worth the money, lamb shank very tasty and cooked to perfection. All in all, we had a superb meal.
Lovely old pub with plenty of charm and character, plus delicious food and great service. You can even bring your dog into the pub which was handy after our long walk through the beautiful Staffordshire countryside.
Beautiful Sunday roast dinner (roast beef) excellent service, great atmosphere.! Definitely a return visit 👍
Popped in the Swan with two necks after a walk on the chase with the dog. The pub staff were very welcoming. We both had the roast beef off the menu. I must say it's the best roast beef meal I've had out at any pub. It's the first time we've ever visited the Swan, but it won't be the last.
What a Great little pub! Feels really authentic and the cooking tastes so lovely and homemade. Couldn’t believe the price as used to paying at least £18 for one course. Plenty to chose from and great portion sizes. Lovely that it’s dog friendly too. Nice cosy fire on and service also great. Will be back. Thanks alot for a great meal
Second visit for us, food is great, all really well cooked, they seated us straight away despite not booking (2pm on a Thursday) it was quite full and I would definitely recommend booking if going at the weekend. Staff are lovely and happy to help and we had a table in front of a real fire which was lovely. I don't have any criticism, but I would love if they started with proper portions of sauce, either give us a bottle or a pot I hate sachets with a passion and scrimping on sauce puts me off a bit, probably as I have the eating habits of a 5 year old 🤣 well worth a visit!!
Lively and friendly. I have often experienced times when locals are tribal and passive hostile, when strangers enter for the first time , not the case here. Friendly all round, lively and great atmosphere. Very busy for a Wednesday night. We'll taken care of and we will be coming again, thank you.
The menu was great, quality of the food and drinks were great, and what really made the difference was the staff were happy, smiling and attentive, which made for a very pleasant evening
Probably best Sunday lunch I've had and i've had a few. Great food, good service always consistent with "all the meats Sunday lunch" and desert menu. Only slight negative is the 3 sittings on a Sunday every 2 hours where 3 hours feels more in-line with £100 for 4 people.
