Was really disappointed yesterday. We always come to the swan for family meals but loads has changed. My son ordered the brisket which was at least 2/3 less than when we last came!!. The burnt ends were bigger but we got less. My partner had pit master burger but he said the meat was tasteless and dry. My wings were overcooked. My daughter ordered garlic bread which had no garlic on it. Service was good but thumbs down on the food guys. I don't know what happened??

The steak was superb, cooked to perfection, the pie was delicious & so was the sea bass, sides were also fabulous! Lovely venue to dine in & atmosphere was just right. However, the service was second to none - just brilliant, attentive but not suffocating, offered table water upon seating & brought replacement carafes as soon as asked, lovely polite & informed staff, we couldn’t have had better service. Thank you!

Fantastic food couldn't fault anything, the duck spring rolls off the sharer were delicious and very well prepared. Followed by a gorgeous, succulent ribeye steak and beef dripping chips the mac and cheese was the best iv ever had. We were seated in a colder part of the restaurant to start with but once we moved we were lot warmer.

Have visited the Swan several times and once again had a great time. Food as always was very good. Staff were friendly and efficient. Always value for money.

We booked a few months ago for a table of 4 for 30th December upon arrival taken to our table food was excellent and so was the service lovely spot to visit when in Irnbridge,

Lovely staff and lovely pie and very tasty.

I have been to the Water Rat many times over the last few years and it is still one of my favourite places to eat. The actual place is nice, its location, service and decor is very good. I like the choices of food and that you are happy for me to order off the Childrens Menu if needed- this is a real bonus, so many places refuse to let adults have a child portion meal. one thing I have often though is that maybe restaurants should rename the childrens food options to Smaller Meals, or Lighter Appetites, this would then enable anyone to order what portion they want . There is no logic in restricting adults to adult portions nor children to children portions, we all have differing appetites as we age# So Well done to the Water Rat for at least accepting I can order from the Childrens Menu.

New Year’s Day lunch Needed heating as radiator not working. Fan eater helped and place warmed up as more people arrived. Service a bit slow about 3/4 hour Meal very good except the Thai curry that we asked to add chicken as per menu was two pieces of breast meat just added on the plate, not curried or anything. . Curry part nice flavour though. Hostess and staff very welcoming and atmosphere friendly. Fish and chips/ veggie kebabs and burger meals excellent.

I had the sirloin steak at Ribeye, served with fries, mushrooms, and tomatoes. The steak was cooked perfectly, tender, and full of flavour, with crisp fries and nicely balanced sides. The atmosphere was warm and relaxed, making it an enjoyable place to sit and enjoy a proper steak. Overall, a satisfying meal in a great setting and the chef very handsome.

New Year’s Eve at Surees was perfection - great banter, exquisite food and super service. We love it here and can’t wait for next time!

The food was lovely, the staff were amazing so welcoming and helpful! Will return definitely. We ate there Christmas eve !

Stunning venue with great food and a fantastic service. We will come again

Fantastic location and vibe ! Amazing service and the food was top notch The scotch egg off the grazing menu was divine And our rib eyes with beef dripping chips was sublime We will be back

We were very surprised that there was a table free on New Years Eve especially as we were late booking.Very welcoming staff, pleasant and very efficient.The food was exceptional, thank you for a lovely meal.Highly recommended you pay a visit..

We have been customers of Suree’s for many years we know her from the previous place when she was at King and Thai in Broseley where I bought her cooking book. She consistently creates delicious, fresh food that is presented well. The staff is very attentive friendly and polite and very quick, maybe too quick ;-) But not overpowering. We love this homely place an we will continue to visit Surees Kitchen as long as she will be open.

Fab food, friendly prompt service and buzzy atmosphere. Loved it! Enjoyed the hot soup (kills all known sniffles), then the seabass from the specials board, both yummy. December 2025.

Great atmosphere, super friendly staff and delicious food as always!

Went for a family meal at the Malthouse there was 11 people which was booked weeks before they sat us in the back room and the tables were not together we had to do that ourselves the food was good but the service was terrible the girls who do the service need training better
