The White Swan Pub & Dining Room

Had my wedding reception here couple of weeks and it was just amazing, relaxed and professional at the same time. The lunch was perfect and the staff were the best ever. Highly recommended venue for a weekend party and THANK YOU to all again!

We hired this venue for my fathers 60th birthday celebtrations. After drinks in the bar we headed upstairs to the restaurant for a fabulous meal followed by more drinks and dancing downstairs.

The staff could not have been more accommodating and helpful, particularly Nadia. Nothing was to much trouble and they seemed to be genuinely thrilled to see everyone having a great time.

Lunch was great, everyone commented on the food especially the mushroom and spinach tart.

Overall, this is a great venue for parties big and small, we took over the whole place and it worked a treat. Great value for money and something that will give my father a great memory of his birthday. I would certainly recommend without hesitation.

My sister-in-law had her wedding reception here and we had a fabulous time. What could have been a somewhat challenging experience, with two young children in a crowded space, turned out to be a really great one instead.

The food was absolutely lovely, but the best bit for us - as parents - was the fact that the staff were fantastic. Attentive, friendly and helpful all round, but even better, David made paper planes for the children and Renata impressed them with making flowers out of drinking straws :) They played with the kids throughout the evening and even offered to look after them so that we could listen to the speaches on the lower floors and have a dance.

A BIG thank you to you all!

I had the good sense to book ahead at the Swan for my partner and I on valentines night - both bar and upper floor restaurant at this classy establishment were full of diners, yet the atmosphere remained calm and efficient, with candles adding to the romantic atmosphere. We sat under the mirrored ceiling and enjoyed a bottle of Australian Shiraz- our servers recommendation and a fair price at £26. To start, my partner enjoyed the oysters while I tried the lobster ravioli. Even though the restaurant was full the service remained efficient yet inobtrusive. Our main courses of duck and John Dory were delicious and I simply didn't have room for dessert, even though the chocolate tort my partner enjoyed looked tempting. The total bill was just under £130.Thoroughly recommend this establishment - suggest you book ahead as we did to avoid disappointment.

I had my wedding at the White Swan and really cannot recommend it highly enough. The venue itself was lovely, staff were very professional whilst at the same time friendly and incredibly accommodating (and really made guests feel very welcome). The dining was fantastic and superbly executed - not an easy task for 65 guests and in all, the night went without a hitch. Kym, the events manager, was a massive help leading up to the wedding and on the day itself. I have to say the White Swan really did exceed my expectations and I have received so many compliments from guests regarding the venue itself, the food and service we received all evening.

Hired whole venue for a party of 120 guests and everyone had a really great time.

Really achieveable minimum spend for such a big dynamic space.

Excellent food, drink, and professional friendly staff, made the planning very easy.

Thoroughly recommend this venue!

The service was good, the food distinctly average. The chicken was OK, the lentils that came with it were a no go for me (my g/f liked). Her beef was cooked well but it came with what we called "shaving-foam-mash". We didn't stay for dessert...

Went with 4 friends last night for the first time and I must say that it was a very enjoyable evening. The roast venison and lamb - executed perfectly and the recommended red (bottle of Oz shiraz) was just perfect with the meal. Service was very efficient and polite. Highly recommend a visit.
