    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.

    The food was very enjoyable however the chips were a bit dry and the peas were like bullets. The service was a bit slow. The server was a bit moody. It was very loud we struggled to have a conversation. we do like coming so will dine again.
