The Swallows Return

The Swallows Return
3.3 / 5 (26 reviews)

Description

The Swallows Return offers a Valentine's set dinner menu with a good selection of courses in a quiet mezzanine area. Some downsides included a chilly atmosphere and insufficient lighting. The staff was attentive, and the meals were served promptly. Despite past experiences of slow service, this visit was successful. However, other diners had issues with unavailable menu items and poor service, resulting in disappointment. The restaurant's interior was praised, but some meals arrived cold. Communication errors with reservations through Opentable caused stress for some customers. Overall, the experience varied from great meals and friendly service to disappointments and communication mishaps.

Very long wait between courses and food was very poor. Had to complain to management. Give it a miss until management can hire experienced kitchen staff

The booking was fine except we asked for a quiet table as we are both head of hearing and it was our anniversary. We were seated with two large parties and so had trouble hearing each other. Not very romantic either. The service was good and very friendly. The food was very nice except we had only just put the last mouthful of our starters in our mouths and the mains arrived! Some of the food was a little cold. The wine was lovely and we were able to have a free bottle by choosing food from the weekend treat menu. Just love their mini puds with a coffee!
