The Swan Restaurant Diner Reviews
"Very disappointing compared to previous visits here and at the Anglesea arms. Pardon peppers not properly cooked and not salted. Paella distinct average and not properly cooked or seasoned. The short beef rib pasta was excellent however. But the strawberry tiramisu was disgusting and wasn’t eaten . Despite being told this they did nothing about it, just shrugged and said ok. Worst meal here by quite a way. "
