Very long wait between courses and food was very poor. Had to complain to management. Give it a miss until management can hire experienced kitchen staff

I came here for a Mother's Day meal and I must say we all had a fantastic time. The food was cooked perfectly and the restaurant's interior was amazing. The service was friendly and helpful!

We arrived on time only to be told due to kitchen problem the whole Sunday menu was unavailable.So at very short notice my disabled wife and I had to fined alternative eating.As this was an online booking we think the management could e mailed us of this situation and at the very least given us an apology.Very poor service.

We arrived on time, but unfortunately, due to a kitchen problem, the entire Sunday menu was not available. As a result, my disabled companion and I had to quickly find alternative options to eat. We had booked online and were disappointed that the management did not offer an apology or explanation for the inconvenience. The service was very poor. - K.M. Gladman Speisekarte ansehen

The booking was fine except we asked for a quiet table as we are both head of hearing and it was our anniversary. We were seated with two large parties and so had trouble hearing each other. Not very romantic either. The service was good and very friendly. The food was very nice except we had only just put the last mouthful of our starters in our mouths and the mains arrived! Some of the food was a little cold. The wine was lovely and we were able to have a free bottle by choosing food from the weekend treat menu. Just love their mini puds with a coffee!

The reservation went well, but we had requested a quiet table since we are both hard of hearing and it was our anniversary. Unfortunately, we were seated near two large parties which made it difficult for us to hear each other and was not very romantic. The service was good and very friendly. The food was delicious, but we only had the last bite of our appetizers when our main course arrived. Some dishes were a bit cold. The wine was excellent and we received a complimentary bottle for choosing the weekend special menu. The restaurant is known for their mini pastries with coffee, which we enjoyed.

Valentine's set dinner menu was excellent with good choice of courses. We were in a quiet part of the restaurant on the mezzanine floor with the only downsides being quite chilly as it was feeling the benefit of the cold air from the front door and it could have had more lighting as some tables were in the dark. The staff were excellent and very attentive so that added to the meals being served promptly made the evening a good choice. We have been to The Swallows Return on a number of occasions so this visit was a success. In the past we have found service to be slow maybe because of choosing from the a la carte menu vs the set menu choices. Speisekarte ansehen
