The Swan Inn - New Forest

Booked a table here the other day on their website, got to the pub and was told the kitchen had just shut(at 7pm

On ordering my food there was a problem with having gravy on the side. Got back to the table took a sip my pint and it was off. Taking it back i was told there had been other complaints (why did they continue to serve it). When the food arrived there was no gravy on the side instead the plate was swimming in it. I like gravy but this was ridiculous. My food arrived and it was warm at best i took it back and was told heat could be felt through the bottom of the plate. I asked for my money back because it seemed he didn`t want to do anything about my cold (now getting colder) food. Only then did he offer to rectify the problem. My food arrived (a gammon steak) it was chewy and dry. I do not like paying for food before I`ve eaten but to ask for a service gratuity before you`ve actually had any service is a nonsense. Needless to say we will not be going back. Yet another Pub in the New Forest serving food that really don`t know what they are doing.

Epic Sunday lunch which we polished off happily. Great portion, great taste. Everything was seasoned well and will eagerly be waiting for my next visit. We both had pork this time as they had run out of the beef, but very delicious for a spur if the moment drive by. It was right nice!

This lovely place cattered for 12 of us and help celebrate our daughter s birthday and engagement .

Didn't eat just had a few drinks nice place just to chill
