| Visited this pub as a group of ten adults and nine children, with the main intention being to order food, and due to the size of our group, I guess it proved a fair test for the kitchen staff. The pub was busy and clean, if a little bit lacking in character. The food arrived within a reasonable time and overall was nice enough, if a little short in terms of the size of some of the meals offered, which spoilt matters in some cases. As a pub however, which is how I rate on this site, the place was a little too orientated towards food, whilst the beer range was purely from the Marstons range (Pedigree and a brew from Wychwood), with no true guest ale being provided. This is a good looking pub, with decent enough food, but not the best place if you want a genuine pub experience. SouthYorkshireman - 29 Aug 2011 21:57 |
| If you enjoy a meal out being patronised, shreked at, dictated to then you'll enjoy the White Swan in Walton. We arrived as a large group (11) so you think that they might look after us a bit more ? Well no. We ordered drinks ok but the drinks were much to be desired. Carling came with not head on as flat as a witches tit. After we took it back it was just top up and given back still flat. After returning it a second time we got a new one. The carvery which we decided to have looked ok yet when the member of staff arrived and broadcasted our options to everyone in the pub it to the edge off it a bit. Please not specify what you want at the start as my plated was filled first then asked second. The quality of the food was fine if you enjoy school dinners (I used to take sandwiches). Then came puddings which the menu stated from �3.25 - �350 but not priced each item, unlucky if you get the �350 one. To top of our event full meal it came down to paying. As I had to leave early I was going to pay for mine and a friend meal on my card, fine you might think but we were then informed. "You have to pay as a group as we didn't state that we wanted to pay on our own." Yet no where in the hold building does it state this. So in conclusion to my meal out. DO NOT EAT OR DRINK IN THIS PUB UNLESS YOU HAVE TO. GO TO ANY OTHER PUB IN THE WHOLE OF THE UK. griffmystergeneral - 25 Nov 2007 20:07 |
| Is there a Bad Beer Guide? If so - stick a picture of this shambolic excuse for a pub on the front. And then try the Shoulder of Mutton just down the road. londinieres - 11 Jun 2007 15:19 |
| If you think what you have read above is bad you havn't seen baehind the scenes. I worked there for 6 months... a majority of the food is microwaved. what isn't microwaved is fried and then kept warm under a few lightbulbs until needed... which is why the chips are so rubbery. whambamham - 4 May 2007 15:27 |
| The landlady of this pub was incredibly rude......there were no signs stating that you could only sit at table's with knives and forks on them if you were dining, we had just sat down at a table where there were only two other tables taken and she said in a very loud voice that we had to move if we werent eating, there were actually only 3 tables in the whole pub you could sit at if you werent having a meal, unless of course you wanted to sit outside. When we left after only one drink the whole of the conservatory which had about 8 tables in it was empty, so they were hardly rushed off their feet with bookings. We are new to the area, we wont be going in there again.......... selina - 16 Apr 2006 16:35 |
