    Really disappointed with our evening at The Three Swallows. One front of house team member and one chef working on a sunny Thursday night in half term is poor planning. Food was average, and poor value when you consider the price. Ordered desserts and asked for a refund after waiting 20 minutes and being told it would take another 15 minutes to arrive. Hoped it was just a bad night, so tried to order pizza tonight for their "famous" pizzas that are only available on Fridays...only to be told that they weren't doing them tonight! Fine place for a beer in the nice garden, just avoid eating here.

    We’re truly sorry that your visit didn’t meet expectations. We understand how frustrating long waits and unavailable menu items can be, especially during a busy period like half-term. We always strive to provide the best experience for our guests, and we regret that we fell short on this occasion. Your feedback is valuable, and we’ll take it onboard to improve our service and planning. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a better experience in the future.

    No enough chips with the burger, one of them pathetic bowls with 5 chips in. The cheapest product in the world is a potatoes so fill the plate up! Hungry men want a feed so for £17.50 chuck a decent sized pile of chips on the plate, you've saved yourself £1 but lost two more customers, it doesn't make sense why you can't fill the plate up, not enough chips ruins the burger too as you run out before the burgers finished. Terrible business mindedness, the cheapest thing in the kitchen potatoes, it would make more business sense to brim plates with chips and draw customers in,not upset them by saving yourself £1.

    Dear Paul, Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the portion of chips with your burger was not satisfactory. We appreciate your comments and will certainly take them into consideration to improve our service. Your input is valuable to us, and we hope you'll give us another chance in the future. Best regards, The Three Swallows Team

    An enjoyable return visit to the 3 Swallows for us . Overall a good experience, apart from several items on the menu were not available. I fully understand that at busy periods and times of the year stocks do run low. However when given the menu, we should be made aware of any unavailable items ,not choose something only to be told some time later it's not available. Not difficult to rectify. Otherwise a pleasant visit with good food, drink and atmosphere.

    A wonderful country pub in an idyllic location. The menus was interesting and the food was perfect. The ambiance is really nice with charming staff and the clientele were lovely too. This restaurant deserves great success and is getting everything right. We were there on a damp Bank Holiday Monday and it made our day.
