We are staying locally for a few days and had had The Swan recommended to us, so despite it being a bit wet and rainy, we booked a table for lunch today (Sunday) and did a lovely circular walk from Pershore to build up an appetite ... and walk off some of the food afterwards.

There were just 2 us so didn't qualify for a heater. Nevertheless, we were quite comfortable and dry. I even took my scarf and one of my coats off. The food, the house white wine and the staff were all excellent. I am looking forward to going back and enjoying a meal indoors. I would happily recommend this hostelry. From the extensive, mouth watering menu I chose the Steak and Ale pie which...
