Reviews
The Swan has recommendations from all the major guides including Which? Michelin, AA, 150 Best Gastro Pubs and Timeout to name a few.
Recent accolades include the which? Good Food Readers' Restaurant of the Year for the eastern region and locally, the Swan also won the East Anglian Daily Times Best Dining Pub award.
In addition, the Swan was also given a great compliment when Delia Smith included a recipe from the Swan's menu in Delia's 'How to cheat' cook book.
In August 2009, we celebrated our 10th birthday and over the years we have had the privilege of receiving recognition from many guides and the media. Rather than relying upon advertisements in the press, we have found that the numerous opinions and reviews from the guides and the media, provide a more honest and consumer based view of us.
