The White Swan — Restaurant in England

Only a three star just because we didn't didn'tknow they didn't accept credit cards so my husband had to venture off to find a cash machine, and the fact that they don't take bookings and had to wait a long time for a table to seat 6. A group of people wanting a table for 7 came in after us and many 4s and 2s and all were seated before we were. Also the fact I am a vegetarian and the gravy tasted alot like meat, so I was put off my meal. The rest of my family are all meat eaters so no issue there.

The staff are very good (apart from the young chap behind the bar on 12-06-17, must have got out of bed on the wrong side!), with polite, helpful service and are happy to help with birthday's etc, bringing out cakes with lit candles (which I forgot but they provided some) to blow out whilst singing Happy Birthday. The food is always excellent too, never had a bad meal and its not that awful portion control rubbish that pub chains churn out but proper fresh cooked nosh.
