The Swan Inn - North Dorset

Went here for family lunch, food took nearly an hour to arrive, pudding 40 minutes. The food was good, staff friendly.

Just moved into the area and we went to the Swan for a beer as it allows dogs, young lad behind the bar extremely welcoming and friendly. I have since been back on my own with our dog after a walk. Again the young lad behind the bar very pleasant. BUT what I assume was the landlord was erring towards the rude side. Our little dog ‘attempted’ to **** his leg as soon as we walked in (not his usual habit) and he was stopped immediately without emptying any of his tank! Landlord talking to a friend was then heard to say ‘that’s why we shouldn’t have dogs in’. So while dogs are allowed I didn’t find them dog friendly. If the young guy behind the bar hadn’t got my drink poured I would have walked out as felt extremely uncomfortable. Not the sort of welcome I expected when new in area. White Hart or Bank House in future.

Lovely freshly made food in welcoming surroundings. Very friendly staff. Would definitely recommend and hope to be back soon the Sunday roast sounds amazing!

We had the most wonderful dinner, the scallops were amazing! The service was excellent and the atmosphere very welcoming. I can't recommend it too highly and we will be returning often.

Excellent food at a great price with superb table service and friendly staff, will definitely be going into this superb establishment again
