Stayed in the village for a few nights and went to this pub a few times , twice for dinner and it was great, made to feel welcome and the pub is dog friendly. We had our dog, Harvey, who was made welcome also and got lots of fussing. The food was really good and good value and a good selection of drinks behind the bar. The Sunday they had a charity day with bands playing and stalls to buy crafts and bits and pieces and a hog roast. Really good afternoon. The staff are great and the service was excellent. Well worth a visit and nice to be made welcome, Harvey loved the fuss he got!

Having used this pub on and off for years, we went Saturday night for a friend’s birthday. There was football on the telly, it was really rowdy, we couldn’t talk to each other because of the noise. We were served our meals, which were borderline ok. When we finished eating our main course, we were asked if we were staying for the quiz or leaving, because they needed the table for a team of quizzers. We had decided to have mains and dessert rather than starter but we didn’t even get asked if we wanted dessert. The woman was said she had allocated another table for us, but the people on that table didn’t leave so if we weren’t doing the quiz we would have to leave the table. All during our meal we were being watched by a group who had reserved this table as though we had no right to be there. Not once were we asked if everything was ok. Food nowhere near as good as when Sonia and Pete were there, which is ironic as the chef had worked there for them before and put out really tasty food. We left without paying as there was nobody behind the bar and we were all fuming at how we had been treated. Today (Sunday) one of our party went back to pay for our meal and the woman still couldn’t see why we were annoyed. Please Sonia and Pete come back. This is now a drinkers pub and certainly not a food one. WE WILL NOT BE GOING BACK.

Was quite looking forward to trying the local since under new management. Managed to get a seat, ordered food then waited, and waited... waited around 50 minutes in total. Luckily if we wasnt hungry before, we were when the food got there! I had ordered steak medium rare, when it arrived half was well done and the other was medium rare which was quite an achievement! Partner's scampi was basic and nothing spectacular. During the meal there was a football match on which meant that the bar was busy so much so that a man decided to sit at our table on a bar stool making us both feel very uncomfortable mid meal. Decided on dessert, menu was off the top of waitresses head, chocolate fudge cake was bog standard shop cake barely warmed up. When we had just finished eating we were then asked if we could move to let others sit down, not even given time to digest our food. Overall I would not recommend, tables too close together and too close to the bar. Food was mediocre, could really do much better, other village pubs have done much more. Fine as a pub not as a place for food.

Having seen the previous 2 reviews we went with a little trepidation, it was quiet to start with but we went early, it soon filled up with locals of all ages. No bad language at all.
The food was just what you expect from a village pub, steaks, burgers, fish and chips, curry and a reasonable selection of proper puddings apple crumble etc all with custard. All homemade. Big helpings.
Good well kept beer from a local brewery.
Ok the decor is a bit Spartan but don’t forget the hell pubs have been through for the past 2 years, so it great to find one still open. Don’t be precious when visiting just go with the flow.

Since we moved to Mattishall in Feb 2018, we have used the Swan for family and friends visits. The food is to die for and, the menu is always changing so, no getting the same boring stuff week after week. Sunday in autumn, winter is carvery and, what a carvery. One price gets you a large plate plus, a sweet of your choice. One thing i like is, being a vegetarian, there are always several meals to choose from including a massive quorn veggie burger. The portions are way above normal as my Dad can vouch for and all freshly cooked. Their speciality pies are much sought after and, if you don't get in quick, they're gone. Sonia and Peter run an excellent pub restaurant with a cheerful, friendly and helpful staff for which nothing is too much trouble.
If you're passing through, I recommend stopping at this friendly eatery.

Lovely pub with good home cooked food - never disappoints, and always a warm friendly welcome from Sonia and Pete.
We have eaten here many times, just the two of us with our dog and as part of a larger group with the dart team. The most recent meal being in mid-September.
Food as always was fresh, home cooked, good portion size and most importantly tasted good too. Personal favourite are the hunters chicken and steak with a Stilton sauce. Partner favours the homemade burgers or a pie, and always a peanut stack for dessert (a must try).
Always happy to recommend to friends and family. Lovely pub we will continue to return to.

Was staying local so was somewhere we could eat .On arrival I felt a bit part extra from the scene in American Warewolf without the Moors background. Asked about food was told From 5:30!No problem as was half an Hour Away from Starting. Unfortunately A Local decided to Entertain us with Loud Constant Belching and Obscene Language which The Barmaid found amusing that by the time she came round at 5:27 enquiring if we would like to see The Menus we Had both not surprisingly lost our appetites 😠

Gives weird social club vibes, weird lighting inside and just generally poor for a ‘local’ pub. Just generally a bit boring... compared to other pubs in the area like the buck.

Great drinks and delicious food. They are generous portions and good pub food. There are lots of different beers to choose from as well as their cider tap. A great local business which we like to support.
