The Swan Inn - New Forest

This is a wonderful place to enjoy a drink or grab a bite to eat. The atmosphere is fantastic and the staff is friendly. I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

We visited this restaurant for lunch and tried their delicious steak sandwich. The staff informed us that it was a new menu item, and we were not disappointed. The steak was cooked perfectly and the cheese sauce added an extra burst of flavor. We were very happy with our experience and will definitely return in the future.

It was a very wet and windy night when we drove to the swan, from the outside it looked a very nice pub and also once inside it was lovely, plenty of room. We spoke to the Barmaid to check where we could sit and she said anywhere without a reserve on, looked at the menu , you have to go to the bar to order started to order our 4 meals out of the 4 only 2 were available not a problem I asked for those just to be put on a tab whilst I check with the rest of my party what they would like to change to don’t do tabs you have to pay now (we were sat right opposite the bar) so I told her to wait and got the choices our party wanted to change to again 1 was not available got another choice, food ordered and drinks and paid for, Why when we asked for a table could they not say some choices are unavailable turns out they were changing the menu, a group of 3 walked out and a table of 2 had to choice 3 times. Once the food arrived it was ok, we did have a dessert but checked first what they had would I recommend yes but check they have all on the menu first.

Place is good and clean however, the food took an hour to arrive (was told upon ordering), which was too long. Mostly all tables was waiting for food: Food looks good when it came but gravy was tasteless, beef roast wasn’t tasty and felt like eating cardboard by the texture. I never had ever put salt and pepper on gravy and the whole Sunday roast ever.

This is a very very nice pub staff,food,and atmosphere are perfect never had a bad meal or experience.
