   The White Swan never fails to impress; both on quality of food and the amazing customer service. Toni and her team are superb; from attentiveness of your booking when you arrive and during your meal to making you feel so welcome every time you visit. The array of food on offer is mind blowing - I have never visited a restaurant with so much varied choice. It’s without a doubt my favourite go to restaurant whether it’s a date night or a catch up with friends. 5 stars without hesitation! Regards Karen and Maurice

   Have visited the white swan before on a number of occasions and have alway had fantastic meals, however last night was very disappointing l ordered the Kashmir lamb shank with bombay potatoes, when it arrived the potatoes looked like new potatoes that had turmeric straight from the pot on them a few chopped chillies and fresh onion, the lamb shank tasted like mint and was with a tomato sauce which looked as if it should be with pasta no flavour of curry to it at all. Spoke to the lady behind the bar who was very helpfull and offered to get another one cooked, my partner was already eating his food and I didn't want my food to come when he had finished so she suggested a sizzler as they are quick to cook, I choose a chicken, chilli and cashew nut sizzler, when it arrived just as my partner was finishing his meal, I had to ask for some cutlery which didn't arrive and then had to ask someone else for cutlery. The food tasted very non discript and definitely no chilli in the meal at all. The whole experience was very disappointing and will not be returning anytime soon.

   As always the food was fantastic. I did struggle to finish the meal but had a doggy bag to take home what was left.(like an idiot went to the loo and forgo pick doggy bag up)??. It was our anniversary so we both enjoyed being placed where it was slightly more relaxing.

   First visit to the White Swan. It may be a little bit off the beaten track but news has clearly got around how good it is as it was busy at 5.30pm on Good Friday. Menu is fantastic with something for everyone, excellent food and fantastic service. We will be back for another visit soon

   We went out today to the zoo for an animal experience for our 9 year old daughter’s Christmas present. I said to her we would find a pub close by in Lincoln , she said no can we drive back and go to the white swan as it’s her favourite restaurant . As usual the food and service was amazing . We had mains and the fair ground cart for pudding . Food came out in good time.

    Was able to make a booking for one of their special breakfast services. There was great variety and all went down really well with our family. Will certainly try and make another of the breakfast specials. It was superb.
