White Swan — Restaurant in England

This is a bit of a mixed review! I would go back and stay again, it is a friendly and clean pub with helpful staff, good breakfast with excellent bacon! ||Awful weak coffee! There is an issue that drinks are made from a machine that produces luke warm drinks .. they apparently don’t have a kettle! |However the guy was very kind and got me some hot milk for my coffee. Simple improvement needed here though .. preferably cafetières and teapots! |my husband had had tea with a tea bag in hot unboiled water.| We didn’t eat there but it was popular and food looked OK. ||The bedroom was well furnished with new furniture and comfortable but the decoration let it down , chipped paint and flaking wallpaper on ceiling . In Room2 there is a bath .. in the room .. it has a shower attachment .. we didn’t use it cos we were terrified of flooding floor and we both like to bathe/shower in private. Because of a mixup on their part of our arrival date we got an upgrade to this room .. room 2 but I wouldn’t have chosen it without en-suite shower. We talked to other guests who had similar thoughts.. just a bit more care and it could be a fabulous place. They hadn’t had request about room addressed and they despaired...

Stayed at The White Swan for me night before my wedding the next day. Needed something easy and inexpensive for me and my groomsmen. When we stayed luckily we were the only guests so my groomsmen bursting in on my room at 1am after they had been next door on the jagers didn't disturb any other guests. The pub was bouncing on the Friday evening and it was hard to get a table but eventually we did and the food and beer was delicious. The steak pie was beautiful with a suet pastry topping. Breakfast was provided and I enjoyed it however everything had been done in a frying pan including the toast. The room was fine and the bed comfy. Bathroom was clean and everything worked even though it was a bit odd that the sink was in the room rather than the bathroom but it is an old building. It is an old building and is in the middle of a refurbishment so it has lots of creaks and quirks but the owners have no preconceptions of what this place is. If you need lodgings and don't want to be ripped off this place is ideal. Also if you will need to go out after midnight get the code from the owner as I managed to get trapped outside when I took my dog for...

Lovely pub and friendly staff but food a bit suspect

Can’t fault staff as they were very pleasant and attentive, pub smart enough inside but the issue lies with the food we were served. I had the beef madras at about 1pm yesterday and haven’t stopped going to the toilet for a liquid number 2 coupled with a delightful stomach ache as I write this nearly 24 hours later. Another member of our party asked to have their Sunday dinner warmed up as it was tepid (must say my madras wasn’t piping hot either). Several members of our party noted that the beef appeared to be sliced and out of a packet rather than from a joint as you’d expect from a Sunday dinner, the mash also appeared to be the type made from a powder and again not the proper mash you’d expect from a Sunday dinner you’re paying £14 odd for. Frozen Yorkie pud also rather than a home made one.

If I didn’t have the trots I wouldn’t have bothered leaving a negative review but as it’s ruined the end of my Easter weekend I felt it was needed.

Can’t speak for the rest of the menu and I don’t mean to tarnish the place but felt I had to leave...
