About This Pub
Ah, The Swan in Billingham – it's one of those places that really warms you up on a chilly evening, isn't it? From what I've gathered from the buzz around, the new owners have worked wonders, turning it into a right cosy haven with top-notch customer care and some cracking food that'll have you coming back for seconds. I love how they've spruced the place up, making it feel fresh and inviting, and it's spot on for everything from a relaxed breakfast to a lively party with the kids. The function room and games area add a nice touch for group get-togethers, and most folks rave about the friendly welcomes and value for money. But, let's be straight, it's not all beer and skittles – there was that one tale of slow service and a few dodgy dishes that didn't live up to the hype, which is a shame when you're hankering for a quick bite. Still, with an overall rating hovering around 4.2, it's clear the good outweighs the bad, so I'd say it's worth popping in for a pint and a chat with friends, just keep an eye on the busier times to avoid any hitches.

Recent Reviews
5 year old birthday party was excellent. Good quality nuggets and the dj was perfect with kids. I have been to many parties but I have to say this was the best organised.
Came because of some decent reviews i saw previously, but was really disappointed. Not sure if they have a new chef in or what but it took nearly an hour for three meals to come out when there wasn't many customers in. X2 parmos which were really bad, hardly no cheese or bechamel sauce, overcoocjed, dry crispy edges, the worst I've seen served locally. Childs meal was served with smash mash potatoes which was like tasteless wallpaper paste. Half the food was left. The quality for £40 in total, is nowhere near good enough. Don't like to leave negative reviews for local places but things vastly need to improve or they won't last.

Lovely friendly welcome.
A hidden gem- available function room, also games area.
Staff were getting ready for a Halloween function later this evening!(wish we had tickets).
We will be back to sample the menu as what food we saw coming out the kitchen looked delicious.
Also the chef was in the restaurant talking to diners asking about their food. Lovely personal touch.
Have a great Halloween disco/party.
Newly taken over, the new owners are off to an amazing start. The level of service and customer care is fabulous.
Being greeted when you walk in and be seated. The food is delicious and you get value for money.
