About This Pub
Ah, The Swallow – it's one of those pubs that just hits the spot for a relaxed evening out. I've got to say, the friendly staff really make it shine; they're always up for a chat and create that warm, community feel you crave after a long day. The food's another winner – whether it's a hearty roast or a mouth-watering burger, it's well-priced and hits the mark for a satisfying meal, plus there's outdoor seating if you fancy soaking up some fresh air. But, let's be honest, it's not all beer and skittles; some staff might be a bit green, leading to mix-ups like not handling bills properly or rushing to clear up while folks are still tucking in. We've heard tales of booking woes, like that Christmas menu fiasco where options were slim pickings for veggies, and service can drag on slower nights. Still, with a solid 4.4 rating from the crowd, it's worth a visit if you're in the area – just go in with realistic expectations and you'll likely have a great time.

Great sports bar pub. Friendly staff and atmosphere and looked fresh and clean, the food was very nice (roast) with separate dinning area if you prefer and table service. Also plenty of seating outside too.
Food here is super. Really good value & fast service. Only problem we've had is some of the restaurant staff aren't well trained & are inexperienced. Couldn't split a bill 3 ways & started clearing the table whilst some people were still eating. Nevertheless, wouldn't hold that against them & will certainly visit again.
They literally cancelled our christmas! We turned up to find our christmas menu choices, booked three weeks earlier, were gone. If we wanted to go ahead, there was only lamb...not helpful to vegetarians...who ended up with mushrooms and chips. I was fascinated by how the staff could not care less.lastly, the festive menu was on every table still, even though only lamb was available. Oh, and they forgot our crackers and we were offered nothing as compensation or goodwill.
Swallow? I nearly choked!
