    Lovely staff and great service, amazing food - great quality and quantity(!!!) for the price, and just an overall lovely experience. A small pub feel, so fairly noisy, but given how great everything else was, this didn’t matter in the slightest. Will definitely be coming back and recommending to everyone we know!

    Absolutely wonderful lunch at The White Swan today. The team couldn't do enough for us, which is a refreshing change as I have so many allergy issues! Were more than happy to adjust my dish so I could enjoy a burger and chips for the first time in eons in a restaurant! Will definitely visit again!

    Such a nice place! Menu choice is huge, perhaps too much choice. 2 lovely girls served us today, they were polite and professional.
