The Swan, Loddon - Carta

Historically good food. We had three starters. Don’t let the impression of the pub fool you. Food absolutely amazing. Clearly a chef that can cook. An amazing surprise.

Food first class so was the service. Dealt with my gluten intolerance and my sea food intolerance all without a bat of an eye. First place to EVER give me a gluten free Yorkshire pudding with my roast.

Great pub. Welcoming. Good food and excellent beers. Friendly and approachable staff. Enjoyed an overnight stay with dinner and breakfast. No complaints at all. Certainly return and no doubts of recommending to others. Ver carta

As ever the quality of the food and friendly service was spot on. However (and not for the first time) the cheese board was very disappointing. Minimal everything for unreasonable £11! We will speak personally to the management about this. This element needs to improve

We recently spent three nights staying at the Swan while visiting family in Loddon over the Bank Holiday. Wevhad a nice modern, spacious room with a very comfortable bed. The breakfasts were delicious. The atmosphere in the pub is great and the staff were so friendly and helpful such a fantastic team! We will definitely look forward to returning on our next trip.

What a fantastic Sunday lunch, the food was mega! The best roast beef I have eaten for years, tender and delicious. A lovely variety of vegetables, with light yorkshire puddings and crispy potatoes. The portions are quite large but we did manage a pudding which was equally as delicious. One very minor point, two of the waitresses were on their first shifts and needed a little more guidance. We will definitely be back. Certainty the best Roast we can find locally. Ver carta

Walked into the bar to be met by a dog seated at the bar, on a bar stool! I kid you not. The owners of the dog were standing alongside the bar with their flippin’ snout nosed pooch perched on two stools. Puhlease! We bought drinks and moved to another part of the bar as far away as possible. Settled into our seats when an over-exuberant black dog dashed in and defaecated on the floor close to where we were sitting. The owner rushed to collect the detritus but the stench was awful! Won’t be going back any time soon.

The pub clearly has been revamped and looked like it had been renovated. Great atmosphere, welcoming and warm. We had a beer and decided to eat. My partner is vegan and she had one of her best meals. The crusted tofu with a taper sauce was really good and had an amazing flavour. She had a dark chocolate torte with Raspberry sorbet a perfect to follow . My meal was less spectacular Beer Battered Cod, Triple Cooked Chips and Crushed Peas. Excellent although I did not think the crushed peas were as good as traditional mushy peas.

We stayed 2 nights for my wife’s birthday and overall it was a very nice relaxing stay. Staff were helpful and friendly and rooms comfortable, and I’ve only marked down a star because of the slightly limited menu the food on offer was very good which was the same for lunch and dinner. A few lunch options would’ve been appreciated as would 2 3 more options of both starter and main courses. A couple more slight negatives was that one of the toilet rolls in the room was half used and the shower head leaked badly from one end which should’ve been picked up. Overall a very good visit.
