Swan & Dog

We visited here on a Sunday lunchtime, having made a fairly, last minute booking for a party of 12 plus a dog!
On arrival, we all felt that the pub was pretty cold, due to the lack of heating, and we had to sit with our coats on for part of the meal.
The staff were welcoming and friendly.
The decor was quite traditional.
Good choice of menu, especially for a Sunday as so many pubs just do a roast.
However, we were one of the furthest tables from the kitchen, consiquently, although the food was flavoursome and cooked well, most of it was fairly cold. It probably would have been better if, instead of 1 waitress bringing our food to the table, they had all chipped in to deliver all the food more quickly.
I don't think we would visit again

16 of us visited today for lunch. The food was so good! We were all served in quick time and all thoroughly enjoyed our orders. I will definitely pay a visit again.

Beautiful village pub with really great food at reasonable prices. A big shout out to the staff who fantastic.

Really good food and they are attentive to details the only snag is they are always very busy as they are very popular. The food is delicious and comes out piping hot and still sizzling away. There is a big variety of food for different parts of the world so you are not stuck for choice, the e place is very clean and the staff are friendly. I rated 4 stars because they could do with having more staff on at one time just to meet there demands they have.

Impromptu lunch for my wife and her chauffeur. The pub is clean, smart and inviting and the staff are fantastic. The food was very good too. We chose the cheese fondue as a starter and burritos for our main courses. All were served with a smile and a friendly chat. We will definitely return to the Swan and Dog the next time we are in the Ashford area and thinking of lunch.

We’ve had a meal on Saturday 15/1. Although it was late and the restaurant was very busy having a few big tables, we’ve had a wonderful time. The front of house staff were extremely nice and helpful, our food was absolutely delicious and plenty of it! Thank you very much!!

We dined here with friends on a Friday night (pre-booked)and what a lovely local pub in Ashford it is.
The staff were attentive, friendly and informative on their menu when questioned.
Or meal choices did not disappoint.
The chilli beef ( not hot) nachos for starters were amazingly tasty and a large portion, enough for two really. The lightly fried brie was nicely crunchy and the cheese melted on the tongue, side salad was fresh.
Our mains of 3 belly porks were amazing, laid on a bed of deliciously creamy mash and green cabbage, topped with the wonderful crackling. Our friends agreed who'd chosen the same .
I had scampi, chips, fresh salad and homemade slaw which again was very nice.
Dessert for 2 people was a chocolate brownie and ice-cream...yum! Didn't need it after the the two courses but was a naughty treat. Sorry no pic, but our friends devoured it quickly and said it was moist and chocolatey and the combination was fantastic.
All washed down with various tipples.
We'll definitely return. Great pub.

Second time visit here. Was really good food and enjoyed few month ago. Thats why we came back again. However, this time, I ordered same dish as last time, Pork Belly with chrispy crackling. However, this time, when the dish served it is boiled with brown sauce without any chrispy crackling and mushroom sauce! Asked the Waitress the reason but told me pork crackling still not ready (but still serve to us as it should not be) If not ready why still recommend me to order pork belly or still put on the menu?! Why not ask or offer me if I would like to swap to different dish if the food not ready! Disappointed, food not served as menu described, do they understand there is no point to order pork belly if no crackling?!
