The Swettenham Arms

Lovely meal for Christmas meet up, festive menu was amazing, everyone enjoyed their food. Lovely decor and setting. Walk before with the dogs definitely going back in the warmer months the trees in blossom will be beautiful

First time we have been there, sat down ordered drinks had starters still no drinks Ordered chicken supreme got a chicken breast with gravy not great Ordered coffees 35 mins later left without them It was busy but not rammed didn’t enjoy the experience won’t be going again

Dropped in for a coffee today and received a lovely welcome from Holly. Nothing was too much trouble and even though we arrived before official opening time she made us a coffee and brought it to our table. We will definitely be returning for a family meal based on our experience and the reception we received today. Ver carta

Just 2 of us, both gluten and dairy free. Had a choice of seating, had booked Tuesday so quiet. Tomato soup excellent with crusty, gluten free bread. Main course slow cooked roast beef with lots of vegetables. Beautiful, meat so tender. Couldn't manage a dessert. Excellent service dietary problems were sorted. Would recommend.

Breakfast with Santa 2023 was really lovely. So much effort by the staff for the kids. Lovely arrival of Santa in horse drawn carriage with all kids watching outside. Breakfast then a meeting with Santa who gave kids a gift and lovely cone of sweets. Plenty of time for photos with whole family and Santa and kids. Lovely experience. Thanks to all the staff dressed as elves. Wonderful.

Robinson’s, you have a beautiful great pub used by all the locals and this week you have put some horrendous relief manageress on. A business is not a business without good people and the staff are the heart and sole of a pub. This is so bad all the locals have decided to start using the Space Invador until you can bring back your good people. Also just to note, the food is bang average and for what you charge there are way better options about. Get a grip. Ver carta

Booked here for Xmas Day in the restaurant we were seated near the toilets so not great! But we didn’t complain. The starter was very nice I had soup but other starters were tiny portions the main tasted like catering food, turkey and veg all tasteless gravy like instant powdered, the Xmas pudding and sticky toffee were also tiny catering portions, cheese and biscuits were good though for what we paid was very disappointing. The Service was good even so wouldn’t go again.

Table was booked for two and on arrival, there is no reception, a long queue at the bar, only one young lady was serving the drinks. Went to second room and approached a waitress, again she was the only one serving the entire restaurant. Good heaven, we got table but it was difficult to pass through the chairs, so congested. Placed order, beef brisket was really tasty but side chips served were left over broken crisps like. Service was pathetic, because there was only young waitress, customers were raising their hands including us to get her attention. We can’t believe how the owner runs big restaurant with two young staffs, one for drinks behind bar and one for serving food. We don’t think...

Last week we held our Goostrey Probus annual dinner at the Swettenham Arms with nearly 40 people attending. Having worked with the events team and planned the event for some time we were able to select our meals from a choice of three or four starters, mains and desserts plus tea and coffee. We pre-selected our menus, provided a table and seating plan and everything went according to plan and bang on time. The Lovell Suite, (which has been extensively redecorated), looked brilliant and the tables were beautifully laid out. We also had use of the private bar facilities in the room. The food and service were excellent and we would certainly recommend this venue for such events. We were brillia... Ver carta
