“ What an amazing place.so relaxing. The staff were fantastic can’t fault them. They really went the extra mile for our large party . There was 22 of for an evening meal the quality of food was second to none and on top of that all our meals was fetched out at the same time. This is now my favourite place. Hats off to you all ”
“ We had our Christmas meal here. The waitresses were polite and attentive. And the food was hot and very nice. I had the Winter Soup and Turkey dinner. Nice size portion. One very minor issue, and almost not worth mentioning, but one of the pigs in blanket on my plate wasn't cooked enough. But they were more than happy to take my plate back and bring me a well done one, very quickly. Very nice as an overall meal. Will dine there again soon. ”
“ My birthday dinner with my husband, Food is fantastic, good portion, good price Highly recommend ”
“ We stumbled across this gem The Swan & Cemetery whilst out on a drive on the 22/07/24 . First impressions on the outside are a well looked after establishment . When you get inside it’s beautifully decorated . The bar area is really big so there’s no shortage of room to order your drinks and bar food. We decided to eat in the restaurant part of The Swan & Cemetery . The restaurant is a very modern design with lots of natural light beautiful decor . We ordered a couple of drinks to start with . Then chose our food which was Fish & chips and I had the gammon & chips . Both meals were cooked to perfection and piping hot when it arrived at our table . We had a lovely server this afternoon she was very polite and friendly and professional. We had a little chat on our way out which was nice . We shall definitely be back again in the near future. ”
“ We come here for lunch quite regularly and honestly Sarah greets us like an old friend. Nothing is too much for her. I am always with my Uncle who is known to order off menu every time, be it can I have cabbage instead of peas or boiled potatoes instead of chips. She accommodates his every whim which leads him to think he has rock star status in there. The food is really good, but I believe we keep coming back for the service with a smile. Thank you Sarah, ”
“ Highly recommended. Lovely restaurant. Clean and very well presented. Staff were very polite and friendly. The food is amazing. Home made. You can tell it is prepared with care. Excellent. ”
“ I contacted The Swan and Cemetery just a few days ago hoping to book in 10-16 ladies for a lunch . l filled in a message request quite late in the evening and was shocked to get a very rapid reply asking me to phone in the next day to discuss our requirements . I wasn’t expecting that we would be able to all sit together and we were prepared for this. We also mentioned that we weren’t expecting to all get served at the same time. There ended up being 17 of us. We were sat together in a lovely bright part of the restaurant. The service was excellent ( we were served by Sarah, Annabelle and Jess. They were all so lovely and ready to please. Our food was superb and it virtually all came out at the same time. We were all so impressed by our welcome, the service, the menu, the prices and the friendliness of every there including Jake who could have been the manager. We will definitely be going back !!! ”
