Three Swallows - Reservar uma mesa

I was surprised to read the recent reviews. We stayed at The Three Swallows earlier this month. Yes, the rooms are small (but that is obvious from the pubs website). Our room was clean and the shower room had modern fittings and plenty of space....The addition of a small patio area outside each room, with a couple of chairs and a table was a bonus. We found Sue, Michael and the breakfast server (sorry cannot recall her name) friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good, with plenty of options. We noticed from staff wanted' notices here, and in the area there is obviously a shortage of labour. The service in the restaurant could be leisurely but as we were on holiday and all the time in the world it was not a problem.. I had both the crab and lobster salads, which were delicious. I have minor digestive issues and Sue was very accommodating offering to switch/substitute sundry items available from the advertised menu to solve my problem. The garden is huge and was a little overgrown but there was someone addressing that issue on the day we left. I certainly would not have been happy if my room was unclean and staff were offhand but we DID NOT find this an issue at the Three Swallows. The hospitality industry has suffered greatly due to covid and whilst it should not be used as a permanent ongoing excuse I feel that we should give establishments like the Three Swallows a chance to get back to pre covid levels of service. It is obvious there are labour and supply issues in this sector. If we cannot be a little flexible then pubs like this will close forever. One suggestion there is no wine list, had to rely on the server to advise what is available. Know we should have checked the price but managed to order the most expensive bottle of wine. Perhaps a chalk board with details of wine available would help customers choose.

The food is grossly overpriced for what is is. for a cheese sandwich on ‘everyday’ bread, a scrape of margarine and some grated cheese, a handful of ‘everyday’ crisps and a very very small salad cherry tomato and slices of cucumber) without...dressing. A cheeseburger that was literally dripping fat, with onions that were specifically asked to be omitted served in a very dry bread bun with the same salad as the sandwich. At least the fries were okay! . These were both second choices because the spicy bean burger wasn’t available. When asked if they could make an egg sandwich it was too much trouble, even though ham egg was on the menu so the egg was readily available. On the plus site the tea, coffee and were fine. All in all very disappointing after previous visit. Different management? We won’t both again and I strongly recommend you save your money and go elsewhere.

Have been coming to this pub for years but no more.Called in yesterday for lunch to be greeted by the most miserable man behind the bar who barely managed to string a sentence together even though I tried to engage a conversation.Not many people in...(understandably) and even having taken a menu outside nobody came out to ask what we wanted.Drank our drinks and left Went to the Dunn Cow instead in Salthouse Which was AMAZING . Do not waste your money here and mate your in the wrong job Maybe a career change or a personality by pass required

Enjoyed a really nice course Meal.. the lovely waitress (name I think she said was Kirsty moved us to a larger table which was a kind gesture as was visiting with my elderly father. The halloumi fries were possibly the best I’ve tasted..., pate was also of a very high standard, the service was fast, polite, courteous. The lovely waitress also gave our puppy a little treat as we ate. Venison Pie … delicious Cosy, welcoming, friendly Happy to recommend this place

Great family evening meal, staff very friendly and welcoming. The fish and chips is definitely one to have, freshly battered fish you will go a long way to beat. Lovely atmosphere, we will definitely return!
