The White Swan

Food very good, pub interior comfortable & welcoming. Service slow BUT only one member of staff for bar duties, taking orders & helping bringing food out. Perhaps more staff? I should add that the member of staff was very pleasent and helpful. Slight blight, loud local builder who bored us to death with his extensive knowledge of bricks.....yawn!!!

Just had a lovely home cooked pie in this welcoming pub, complemented with a nice ale (or two). All the staff are amazingly friendly, offering advice and answering questions. We had two complimentary dishes from the chef who came out to chat to us. Lots of locals having meetings and keeping the place busy. Clearly a great community and this pub a central part of it.

Called in on Saturday and had a lovely blue cheese burger, chips and coleslaw. The food was very good and the owners always make you feel welcome, with a good range of ales, cider and larger. The pub was quiet but near to closing time. We have had a Sunday lunch here before and that was also good, but it is very busy on Sunday so do book in advance.

We recently had a week on a canal boat from the Ashby Boat Company (also very highly recommended) and had an evening meal out in Stoke Golding. Pub was busy with a nice atmosphere. All 6 of us had excellent meals. The landlord, landlady and all the staff were very friendly and welcoming and if you like unusual desserts you are in for a treat! When they overheard that it was my wife's birthday, they surprised us with a free glass of prosecco for her. After our meal the chef came out and asked us how our food was (how often do you get that in a pub?) and whether we would like to try some complimentary home made ice-creams he had created. They were so good that we all ended up paying for an extra dessert on top (and 5 of us don't have a sweet tooth!) The port and stilton ice cream was divine! (Move over Hestor!!) And to top it off, the bill was very reasonable. All in all an extremely good evening and highly recommended.

Fantastic pub... Great ales and ciders... Debbie the gaffa really friendly makes sure everything is good.... Chef Luke is top man cooked steak perfectly and I cut it with a butter knife.... Home made chips.... What more can you ask for..... Oh dogs welcome too 👍👍👍👍👍

We only had one drink at a quiet time so can't talk much about the atmosphere. Seemed like an OK pub but outside was a very basic concreted area that was small with a fence around that felt closed in. Polite enough service, I bet the locals love it!

Nice friendly pub, relaxed family friendly atmosphere and well kept beer. Recommended!

Just popped in for a beer whilst passing along nearby canal. Well kept, very clean and tidy. Nice welcome from Landlady. Dog friendly. Currently no food.
