Black Swan

Four of us went today for pensioner Christmas lunchtime meal. It was £15 pp and it was great value for money . We were seated when arrived by friendly waiter. We had soup starter, three of us had turkey Christmas dinner and for vegetarian option they had vegetable wellington. Then we all had Christmas pudding for afters. All the meals were good portion size and really lovely and served hot. There was also a singer playing guitar and singing Christmas songs whilst we were eating which was a nice touch then also some children from the local primary school came in and sang a few songs which was lovely too. Well done to the staff who served everyone in good time and did such a good job . Nothing was too much trouble . All in all a lovely experience to get us in the mood for Christmas with lovely Christmas tree and decorations in the room and the pub.

The staff were really polite and attentive. We enjoyed the new decor and Christmas decorations. However, I ordered the pan fried sea bass with crushed new potatoes and vegetables. My husband ordered the chicken curry. The presentation of the sea bass was poor. The vegetables were not fresh, the potatoes tasted of vinegar and I didn't bother tasting the overcooked fish. I was extremely disappointed. The chicken curry came in a silver bowl and was the size of a child's portion. My husband complained and another portion was delivered to him with some more chicken curry. I sent my meal back and played safe and ordered the fish and chips which was ok. Sadly the food was really disappointing and we will not be returning to this restaurant.

Very expensive festive meal, not worth the price unfortunately. Love this pub and come here quite often for drinks and starters. Thought the meal would be a nice festive start to Christmas. Main meals are definitely not worth the money and were quite bland. Had to ask for our cranberry sauce and pigs in blankets for the turkey meal as these were left out. Puddings were the best part of the meal. Will still be back for drinks and their great coffee.
