Welcoming old coaching house pleasantly situated in village square, heavy beams and painted panelling, mixed tables and chairs on carpet, roaring log fire at one end, good inventive food from daily changing blackboard menu.
Prompt friendly service, well kept Adnams from slate-top counter and lots of wines by the glass; maybe background music, quiz last Sun of the month; walled garden behind, four bedrooms in converted stables, closed Sun, Mon.
Had a wonderful evening with family in the cosy setting of this character pub in the centre of an attractive village. The log fire on this cold December evening was much appreciated. Very welcoming staff were attentive to our needs Specials were on offer besides the regular menu. Everything seemed cooked to order and was delicious. Would definitely recommend.
Fantastic food! Clean plates all around. We went on a quiet night and the chef made the effort to come out and thanks us all for coming and waved us goodbye. I had the best fish pie I ever had in my life tonight and would definitely recommend it to anyone considering going.
We had an excellent Sunday lunch with a great choice of beers and wines. The Swan had a real cosy feel to it with a lovely open fire and attentive staff who made us feel very welcome. Pricing was keen so all in all an excellent experience.
A real Suffolk gem. Outstanding food and warm welcome. Interesting and varied menu. On various visits have had exceptional Ramen, Ruben sandwich, vegetarian slow pulled pork (I am a meat lover and I would not have guessed). Highly recommend.
Very nicely presented, staff very friendly but the food wasn’t good. Tough rubbery chicken with some Nando’s peri peri sauce chucked over it and some coleslaw from Tesco for 15 quid, not good. Though the Irish coffee was really nice, that was the only good thing about the meal.
