The Crooked Swan

Three of us went to the Crooked Swan on a Friday night after work for dinner. The parking (while not the fault of the Swan, is very hit and miss. Ended up parking in the Lidl car park and walking over). Got there about 10 mins early and were seated quickly and drinks also provided quickly. The menu looked great with a solid core of food and looked very appealing. We had the Cheese Fondu & Calamari rings for starters which tasted excellent and was all cooked perfectly. If I had to have a criticism of this it would be that there could have been more bread with the fondu. Otherwise was excellent and fantastic portion sizes. For mains we had Duck & Mixed Grill which again was cooked perfectly and tasted wonderful, ideal portion sizes again for this. Pudding was Ice cream, Sticky Toffee & Brownie (I think) which following trend was wonderful and good sizes for the price. We had Gin, Rum and a round of cocktails which were fine for the price. There was no drinks menu on the table which was a bit odd as had no idea what they had or not (could be something to look into) and the lovely waitress we had went off to write down the cocktails they could make for us (about 10 mins before she came back with answers). All of that came to around 160 which for a three course meal for three with top shelf drinks and cocktails is really good value for the quality and I would happily pay that again. Will be coming often for dinners and would love to try the breakfast one day. One last note would be that for a Friday night there was only two tables in the restraunt, lots in the "pub" side. So I'd like to see if quality holds up when it's full. Makes me sad to see really good food in a nice location be as empty when they deserve to be much busier.

We came here for dinner on Thursday called up and they were absolutely lovely whilst making a booking. We arrived, parking is a bit hit and miss but its really not that big of a deal they offered us a table central or wall side which I thought was a lovely touch, made me feel very relaxed. The server was delightful, young guy. The menus didnt match to the one on the website, that might be my mistake though The food took a little while to come out but when it did it was delicious, such nice vibes. Totally recommend!!!!
