"The pub formerly known as 'The Mucky Duck' remains a traditional place where you’re guaranteed a laid-back atmosphere and a good pint. The concise menu allows the kitchen to concentrate on producing good value cooking from small batches of locally sourced produce. Dishes might appear simple at first, but there's impressive depth of flavour and some playful elements hidden within. The cheeseboard with homemade crackers and English truffle honey is a must, and there are some interesting wines available by the glass." - Michelin Inspector

Absolutely tremendous food, this is was so much more than just a meal out, it was a journey through several beautifully prepared dishes. Tash and Gareth looked after us, they were super attentive throughout. We will definitely be returning! Thank you 🤩

Most consistently tasty and affordable Michelin star restaurant in the area. At 65 GBP for the lunch menu, it's a fabulous vakue for money. I have been here multiple times and always had sublime food with great hospitality from Laura.

Don’t get to eat here as often as we’d like as we aren’t local, but it is always worth a journey or a night away near by to visit. It’s a rare type of place where you can enjoy the most outstanding Michelin food, with great service, yet it still feels laid back and informal. Staff are knowledgeable about dishes served and their cheeseboard is outstanding! Still remember the tomato dish (light and banging with fresh summery flavours) and the soufflé I had for dessert on my first visit years ago which is always a good sign! We need more little places like this on the food map, it’s a gem

This excellent restaurant still has a pub vibe and great beer. However, the food is the standout. An excellent chef works wonders, the food, in my opinion, is better than a 2* establishment we went to recently and much better value. Excellent that the White Swan has a small area where you can sit with your dog. Shame we live over 2hrs away otherwise we would be here way more often. Totally recommend.

I ate here recently with my wife. It was a surprise 58th Birthday treat for me. It was a proper treat! I’ve eaten at a lot of Michelin starred restaurants and this was as good if not better than most. The thing that marked this place out for me though was the quality of service. All the front of house team were so friendly, knowledgeable and informal, it made it such an enjoyable birthday meal. We live about 30 minutes away so we’ll definitely be back with friends.
