The swan has closed down much to our displeasure when we turned up to eat. You need to take them off your site as we should not have been able to book or leave bank details !!!!

Considering it was their last day of opening, it was a pleasant experience - shame the veggie roast was not on offer but the risotto was delicious as was the cheesecake and very nice Malbec too! Good luck at The Great House!

Very quiet - not much atmosphere - different staff waiting on our table which didn’t make us feel very special Overpriced food - burgers all burnt on outside! Beef in ragu and burgers a bit grisly too

We were a party of 6 and we had a lovely round table which made communication around the table brilliant. The service was excellent and we didn’t have to wait long for our food to be served despite how busy it was. The food was great and we would definitely recommend and will be returning in the near future.

The service is excellent; welcoming, polite and helpful. The food is good, but not excellent value for money, as it is quite expensive for what it is.....it's not somewhere
