    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.
