The White Swan

Stay over was good,food was excellent although alittle on the small side for breakfast as for the FULL ENGLISH more like LITTLE ENGLISH,abit disappointed by that,overall stay was quiet as I was at the back,lovely view of farmland and horses....

A cosy welcoming haven. Plenty of seating & good choice of food all day. Shame that some staff have had a personality by-pass & are sour faced.

Walked in to bar at the main entrance and went straight to the first section of the bar. Waited for about 5 minutes, chef came out of door walked down the bar then headed back in. Heard a member of staff further down the bar so stepped back so they could see we were waiting. Barman was serving a customer so waited until he had finished. As we were still not noticed, I moved closer and said excuse me....his back was turned so gradually moved closer and gradually increased my voice after repeating myself approximately 10 times I was stood now directly behind him and he turned around and replied ' I heard you can you wait ' rude unprofessional no customer acknowledgement absolutely shocking interaction.. maybe that's why the bar was so quiet...we obviously left....

Cooked breakfast greasy/poor, bacon like leather, a single egg, single sausage; poor beans; continental selection lacking; £32 inc tea/coffee (charged separately)

Went for lunch. Food was mediocre to say the least, had char grilled chicken (£18) which was rather tough and dry despite being drenched in a source of unknown heritage, which I believe was the same sauce that another diner's noodles came covered in. Both of us considered the sauce to be very salty. The side salad to my chicken was very cold, and consisted of large chunks of tomato and lettuce adorned with a handful of chick peas and some crumbled feta cheese. Rather unappetising. My partner had a prawn sandwich (£13) which was acceptable but nothing to write home about. She also had a side tub of chips (£4.50), which were in actual fact more akin to french fries, presumably oven ready, which the taste and consistency of the chips suggested they had been reheated, probably in a microwave, after initial cooking. We completed the meal with two coffees (£3.65 each). Service charge of £4.28 was added to the bill which resulted in a total charge of £47.08. In my opinion the food provided did not warrant the cost. The venue itself was clean and comfortable and the staff were polite, albeit rather slow in taking our order and serving our choices. I think our waiter was suffering the onset of a charisma bypass. Will probably not dine at this venue again.
