   We’ve had one of the most memorable evenings at the Swan. Firstly, we were a little bit apprehensive of booking to the monthly quiz, due to our overall low IQ average but when we turned up - we were made feel immediately at home. The food came out in minutes and our demanding children were super happy. Jerry was an entertainer as a host and the quiz itself was super interesting. Edwin who runs the pub looked after us super well! all in all an amazing experience - thank you THYME!!!! I wish we knew all the answers…OUCH Bottom line / I have never been made feel so stupid and at the same time so happy to pay the bill, which was a humble amount for what a pub meal is these days. Coming back ASAP!!!!!! Quality 10/10

   This was the perfect Sunday roast. The place is gorgeous, all understated warmth and charm, the service from everyone, especially their manager, was friendly without being effusive, and nothing was too much trouble. The roast was quite simply the best we've ever had. Two of us had the celeriac, and one the beef - all were perfect. And don't even start me on the roast potatoes, which were quite simply the crispiest I've ever had, which is not easy to achieve in volume. I'd drive from Cornwall back here just for lunch! Only thing I would change would be to bin the music - I don't think it's needed in an old country pub for Sunday lunch - the hubbub of the room would be enough. Otherwise, it was perfect - thank you.

   Such a delightful pub! Food was great, staff were very warm and welcoming, and the place has character, warmth, and elegance all in equal measure. Totally charming. We loved our dinner there and will be sure to return.

   The Swan at Southrop is an absolute delight. Great location, fabulous interiors with a glowing fire in the main dining room. The food is a real treat. The steak frites and half chicken mains are reminiscent of sitting in a Parisian bistro. The sticky toffee pudding is prize winning. Great wine selection. But its really about the staff as well -so well informed, professional and seamless service. A real treat!

    Our third New Years Eve celebration at The Swan. A great atmosphere, we were seated quickly on arrival - a lovely table, with plenty of space for the four legged member of our party. The food was amazing, we opted for the rib of beef - perfectly cooked and with generous sides. A real NYE treat. We all opted for the Galette de rois for dessert and my husband had the winning toy in his, so we were gifted a bottle of wine. I loved the little ceramic dog, used as the ‘winning toy’ and the front of house manager (sorry can’t remember his name) very kindly allowed me to keep it. It now sits of my desk to keep me company whilst working from home, a lovely gesture - very much appreciated. Would highly recommend. Same time next year!
