What a brilliant find thanks to trip advisor reviews. Service was great, food was amazing, better roast than i can cook and three different gravys. Lovely beer garden and chef came to check on us. Went out to the beer garden afterwards which was relaxing and comfortable in the sunshine. £45 for 3 adults and a child with drinks worth... More

We booked The Swan based on its ratings in Trip Advisor and we weren't disappointed. Whilst the pub is tucked away down some very picturesque country lanes, it was well worth the visit and being one of the first customers there, we enjoyed excellent service. The Sunday roasts were all ready at the same time and the quality of the... More

We had the Easter weekend away at the Ashford International Hotel and were looking for country/pub restuarant and found the Swan in trip advisor. The previous reviews looked good and we were not dissapointed. The food was excellent but more than matched by the value for money and service. We had hoped to have Sunday lunch but they were fully... More

Went along for lunch and found a lovely traditional country pub, with relaxed atmosphere and happy staff. A n excellent varied menu that offered exceptional value for money as the portions were generous. Will be retuning for an evening meal and look forward to better weather when we can appreciate the lovey garden setting.

Lovely country pub serving excellent food. Everything was perfect from the open log fire to the service and especially the delicious food. The rabbit stew was not only the best rabbit I'd ever eaten but the best dish I have eaten in a long time. The chef spoke with us about the providence of his ingredients and seemed genuinely flattered... More

Can't see the point in cooking on a Sunday when you can get a roast to this quality and price. Very goog pub and food excellent. Try the Scotch eggs (not on Sunday).

We moved to the area recently from London and we are very pleased to have discovered the Swan. So much so in fact that we have been moved to write our first review on Trip Advisor. We went for dinner on Saturday night and had steaks. The food is nice and staff are very friendly. The landlord, Mark, went above... More

We have never written a review on Trip Advisor before, but after going to The Swan Inn we felt we just had to. We happened to be in the Ashford area, and wanting something to eat we turned to Trip Advisor. The Swan Inn was number 4 so we thought we would give it a go. On arrival we received... More

we found this wonderful restaurant after reading the reviews on trip advisor, and how pleased are we to have tried it, the welcome was good, staff were attentive and helpful, the menu was easy to follow, not to much choice, (4 starters) we had prawns and whitebait, and what a plateful that was, more of a main meal than a...
