Not quite sure why there's not a dedicated thread for this place already, but here we go.
I've only eaten at The Swan a couple of times, but have been there on many ocassions; usually on the Live @ The Swan nights, all of which have been bloody ace. I don't go into town much generally due the high percentage of arseholes, but I will go to a good music night at The Swan.
Anyway...the reason I'm posting this is that a few weeks ago (early Nov) my mum came over to see me from Spain. I was trying to think of where to go for food, then remembered that db on this here forum had been to the 25 quid meal deal thing. 2x steak meals (which can also include salmon steaks/gammon and something else) or a choice of 3 or so beef cuts. Well....it was A* on all counts. The staff were all lovely...attentive but in no way obtrusive.....the food and wine were delicious...and the fact that it was only 25 quid was the icing on the cake.
We both had ribeye and big chips and we had to get a doggy bag cos there was so much. The Spanish waiter (who my mum had been chatting up with her lingo) made a swan out of foil with the rest of our food in it! Brilliant!
Well done all!

). We had 150 people at the evening do, and people came from all over the Country. We had been together for 21 years, and have three sons, so I thought if we are having a party to celebrate that, it is unlikely so many folk would make the effort to come, where as if we said we were getting wed'.........We spent the night at The Swan, having a do*, in our garden, for family and close friends, the next day; before travelling to Prague for 5 days. *You might be imagining a mansion, with a garden to boot, but not at all, its an average semi, but has a long, but narrow garden, and we invited the neighbours both sides. My Uncle works for a Marquee company, and he designed and built one, that attaches to the back of our house, and he gave it to us as a wedding present. We had a very resonable local catereer, about 40 guests, and an absolutely fantastic time; (Get to ya reason for posting ya retard! Ed )but our night at the Swan was certainly unforgettable, and not just because I am a glutton, and the breakfast was particularly good, but it was!
