The White Swan Pub & Dining Room

Managed to get a booking pretty easily for an express lunch last Thursday with some work colleagues. Good move. Two courses for £16 each. I've eaten here before so I knew it would be good..and it was! For some reason my memory is like that of a gold fish – can't remember what exactly I ate. It was a very good rabbit dish, followed by a chocolate delice. Main better than the dessert. Good value because of the express lunch offer.
Downside – really wasn't quite as express as promised. Really wanted to be in and out within the hour as I had a lot to do at work. We were there for an hour and a half.
I like this place though, and would recommend it to anyone in the area. The pub downstairs from the restaurant also looks pretty good and serves food. Nice bit of olde england!

This is a gem of a place to visit. The pub downstairs is great if you only have time for a drink and quick bite, and the restaurant upstairs is amazing if you time to wine and dine at a slower pace. Everything served here is of fantastic quality, and is well worth stopping by if and when in the city.

Went here with a couple of mates who also work in the city, and we had a cracking night. The food absolutely superb, and the atmosphere and service great too. Perfect example of a great British gastropub. Highly recommended.

We had our xmas bash there and it was very bad value for money! – we were rushed with the courses when we had our meal, the glasses were never re-filled without having to ask every time, we then asked for the wine to be left on the table and again this was not done.
the portions were nothing more than paltry and the whole table of 11 were complaining there was not enough food. We never received our petit fours with the coffees. Service was very sporadic and not enough staff for approx 20-25 covers.
the meal cost £45 per head and was also being advertised at a lower price of £29 all over the venue! (Although the latter applied only to the pub side).
When the bill arrived we asked for a reduction bearing in mind all our grumbles and the staff very reluctantly reduced it by a minimal amount.
