    Feb 2025. Sunday roast : Great quality produce cooked to a high standard. Would definitely recommend and will be visiting again. You will never leave hungry as the portion’s are big :-)) Looking forward to going back especially in the summer as they have a nice outdoor seating area.

    It’s the first time we’ve been here after several friends recommended and were not disappointed!! The staff were friendly, the food was amazing and when you are wanting to come straight back to try other things on the menu it’s always a good sign!! Can’t wait to come back for more, loved it….

    First time trying here after receiving lots of recommendations, having coeliac disease I’ve always been wary of trying new places, however I was very pleasantly surprised, with an extensive menu to cater for allergies, the food was outstanding and the GF sticky toffee pudding was the best I’ve ever had! Can’t wait to be back to try some more dishes off the menu! 10/10 all round!

    Another lovely evening at the White Swan. Ample parking. Great reception. Vast menu, choices for all tastes. Really good table service, presentation and quality of the food was top drawer. Good choice of Beers, wines and spirits. Plenty of room at the table. Diner’s can select inside or outside tables.

    Good food from a menu with lots of options, and attentive, friendly staff. We did think the portions were a bit big for us, but it depends on how much you can eat!
