It suited us to go on a Monday lunchtime so, unsurprisingly, the dining room was virtually empty and the one member of staff was busy managing both the dining room and bar. At lunchtimes later in the week I imagine both these aspects would be different.

The Bear and Swan was a good experience but we asked before we ordered did our voucher cover everything on the menu and were told it did,so when we were charged another £58.00 at the end we were a little surprised,apparently it was in the small print on the voucher.But we enjoyed the meal but we should have been told when we enquired at the beginning

We had a delicious meal in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Both fires were lit which always gives that first good impression when walking in from a wet and chilly day. The staff were pleasant and helpful.

I bought 2 vouchers, one for a friend's birthday, who has been and had a really enjoyable meal with her husband and one for me & another friend. We went last Saturday and had a very tasty meal. Staff were very friendly and knew all about the menu so could tell us anything we needed to know. We have been before on a voucher & will certainly look out for another one in the future

The pub is lovely and staff were fabulous but... unfortunately, the food didn't live up to our expectations. The steak and ale pie was pretty tasty but, aside from that, what sounded like wonderful flavour combinations on the menu didn't blend well on the plate. Portions were small and several items - croutons and rice crackers, for example - swam in oil to the extent of being wholly unpalatable. I'm not saying we didn't enjoy the experience as a whole, but our dog ended up eating a lot of the food and, for both of us, the delicious cappuccino was the best part of the meal. We went for lunch, but perhaps there's a more skilled chef in the evening. It was a shame, because we so wanted to love it and return.

Had a delicious meal in a great pub. Great table sat right next to the woodburner and the staff were lovely. The only (very slight) negative was that they were quite difficult to contact to book.

Went for my birthday, the best food we’ve had since before covid and we eat out regularly. Also, the Travelzoo offer made it great value for money as the food was excellent. We will be going back especially if the offer continues.

The food was good, but no vegetables. Service was slow, although it was freshly cooked. The voucher was misleading as the price was limited so that meant only 2 main choices. Otherwise you had to pay more.
