We love to dine out as a family. It has been a long time since we have actually dined in a restaurant that ticked every single box. This had a local pub feel, and the pub/restaurant was very busy. However, it wasn't your rowdy noisy feel but that of a family atmosphere with a cosy feel to it. We were seated at our table and felt relaxed. Our waitress was friendly, full of good banter, and knew her drinks and food. Our food arrived and the timings were perfect. The quality of food was unbelievable. Flavours exploded and tantalised the taste buds. If I had to fault them, the only thing I thought should be changed is to bring kids meal out first. Apart from that, absolutely amazing. Everything was excellent. We had an amazing evening and will definitely be back.
Update.... we have been back numerous times since this initial visit, and we really can't fault the place. Professional friendly service like the good old days. Food is second to none. Since this post, we have always had little ones food brought out first.

Ye Olde Swan is a local favourite of mine for my parents, who live close to the village. We’ve been here throughout the seasons and usually come to eat.
The menu hasn’t changed much in that time; it’s consistent and excellent. Being creatures of habit, we usually go for the same dishes: vegan burgers, fish n’ chips and salmon. It’s always up to the same excellent standard, and a happy, smiling waitress always takes our order.
We usually sat near the fireplace with the mystery door leading to an underground (not so secret) tunnel to the church across the road. It’s always a topic of interest, but from research, we believe the tunnel was long-filled due to health and safety issues with the road across from the pub.
Local knowledge aside, it’s a great pub with a vast drinks range and a fab food menu, and we always have a great time. The food is always reasonably priced.
Thanks, we’ll be back very soon.
