    Really lovely roast and service. Still needs to sort the lighting out tho could be so much more cosy with out such bright lights
    The Swan Inn FelstedResponded 4 days ago
    Thank you for the kind 5* review Sarah. We apologies that on this occasion is was brighter than usual, there was a set of cleaning lights mistakenly turned on that had then got stuck on. Normally we only have the centre warm chandelier on, which combined with our lamps and warm fire leave a nice atmosphere. We appreciate on this occasion it was quite harsh, and hope to see you again soon.

    Ignored on arrival and ridiculous trying to pay the bill. Apparently new staff. Suggest they’re not left to deal with customers until they’re able to.
    The Swan Inn FelstedResponded on 15 November 2024
    Thank you for your feedback. We’re truly shocked and disappointed to read this, especially as a regular customer since our opening. Our team works extremely hard to provide excellent service and felt they had looked after you all throughout the meal - even working alongside the Chef and organising a dish completely off of the menu for your table. But, we do acknowledge that new staff can face challenges whilst training which occured upon paying your bill and had a delay that was inconvenient for you. We’ll ensure they receive their continued training to prevent any future issues. We value your loyalty and hope to welcome you back soon for the experience you’ve come to expect from us and have enjoyed on many different occasions.

    Loved the food, probably the best garlic bread ive ever had! Massive portions :) Great value for money. Lovely cocktails and great choice of music in the background. Had a great evening. Will definitely be back.

    Thank you for the 5 star review Becky! We're so glad you all enjoyed your evening and most importantly the garlic bread! We've passed this onto our Master Italian Pizza Chef Aldo! We all look forward to you returning soon, and appreciate you taking the time to leave a review.
