The Swan Inn

Visited here with my wife for some lunch the other day. It's about twenty miles from out house but on the main road from between Malvern and Hanley Swan. We hadn't booked so just a took a chance on getting a table. the main difficulty with this place is that there are few spaces for cars, so vehicles have to park on the road around the premises. We had some Ham Hock terrine and Cauliflower bites for starters with some fresh breads and butter and olive oil. Followed by some burger and Fries for the both of us. As usual we had some soft drinks. We were told that it would be at least 20 minutes wait for food but we had all day so it was not a problem. The Ham Hock was home made and the Cauliflower was grilled with a lovely sauce as a compliment. The burgers were tall and well cooked, slightly pink in the middle with melted cheese and accompaniments. We even had some metal mugs full of chips to go with it. Overall, the food was terrific and one of the best meals we'd had for a while. The bill came to about £70, which seems a lot for a two course meal in a small country village. But the quality of the food made it all worthwhile and in summary, the meal was excellent. Anyone around who likes good food, get yourselves to this place. Definitely a place not to be missed.

Lovely stay for a solo traveller in great surroundings

Overall, really lovely stay! Staff could be more welcoming.

Lovely venue in a picturesque village. Comprehensive menu and well stocked bar. Beds very comfortable

Great single night stay at The Swan Inn. Check-in nice and easy, especially as I turned up a bit early. Room spotless. Single bed, and a bit softer than my usual bigger firmer bed but perfectly acceptable. Free Wifi was essential as mobile signal was virtually non existent and without it could not even make a phone call. Included breakfast was very good from stated locally sourced items

A great pub/restaurant. The bar area is quite small so there’s not many seats, and because the outside garden areas are normally quite busy with dogs and humans, there’s usually a queue of people waiting to get served. This can make the bar area seem a little less like a nice drinking area and a bit more like a serving space. But service is good and quick and you can sometimes eat in the bar (not sure if you can do that on a Sunday). The restaurant area is great. There’s the main area without dogs and then the conservatory area which allows them…and obviously outside. Service is good, it can sometimes be a little slow and inconsistent, but generally the staff are very friendly and pleasant. The food is excellent. The Sunday roast was great. The desserts are a bit oddly weird, in fact you could say the same about the starters. If they could get a better selection of starters and desserts it would be perfect. Overall a great place to eat on a Sunday or any night. But you need to book… and make sure you’re not allergic to dogs!! They’re everywhere!
