The Swan Inn - Piatti

Family all enjoyed Sunday lunch at the Swan Inn Pontfadog in the Ceriog Valley. Well presented and filling meal, we all cleared our plates. Well done Cygnets Restaurant.

If you are in this area, I would thoroughly recommend a visit here. We, a family of 5, absolutely loved the food. Would recommend the mushroom and Shropshire blue starter, soup, the fish and chips, steak and ale pie. Local pub, lovely people.

We booked a table for the New Year’s Eve dinners, we were served Fantastic food and drinks, very very tasty and presented lovely. The restaurant was busy and has a good atmosphere. I would recommend to anyone in the area. The bar has an open fire and a snug, which was warm and cosy. Visualizza piatti

Great food with excellent service. A very varied menu, plus a board of specials. Many meals use locally grown ingredients, including herbs and veggies. A good range of quality wines by the glass and, obviously, by the bottle. Superb dessert selections, again including locally grown fruit.

Visited with another family for Sunday lunch we were staying at a campsite up the valley. This is a “proper” British pub lovely old building, welcoming atmosphere, decent ales, and hearty, well cooked food. With three 13 year olds in tow, we asked whether the kids portions would be suitable they definitely were. Will be coming back.

Enjoyed a family meal here on a Tuesday evening. Dogs are permitted outside and in the bar (but, appropriately, not in the restaurant area). Food was well cooked, significantly exceeding our expectations of a pub-menu, with good use of local produce: four empty plates. Decent choice of real ales. The pub itself is in a small village and the owners, who have taken it on in the last year, are to be commended for their endeavours and enterprise; there are clear signs of the “work-in-progress” and they deserve good wishes as they continue renovations.

Six of us called in while on a narrow boat holiday having been there many years ago. Was good years ago but has got better. Place was very clean, nicely decorated and comfortable. Staff were very attentive and helpful and the food was delicious. Not the cheapest establishment we've been to (but not the dearest either) but you certainly get what you pay for. All six of us made different choices for the main course and all six of us enjoyed our meals. My wife, who has difficulty with her swallow asked for extra sauce to go with the chicken dish and she was more than adequately provided for. Would definitely go there again if in the area.

We ate hear on one of the nights we stayed at the Mulberry Inn about 20 minutes walk away. We had had a good day on the hills around the area and had earned a hearty meal. This pub did not disappoint. The food is good honest pub grub. With well cooked very generous portions and a varied menu. The atmosphere was busy and the staff were very friendly despite being very busy. For a starter we shared the daily special main which was a collection of battered King Prawn, scampi, squid rings etc on a bed of courgette. It sounded more exciting on blackboard but was perfectly fine. For mains my wife had fish and chips with mushy peas which she said was very good. Made with good quality fish that was...

We spent three nights near Pontfadog in late October 2019 while on vacation from the US, and spent two of those evenings enjoying dinner at The Swan. If we lived around here, we would gladly join the ranks of the obvious regulars that inhabit the bar area. Even as visitors, we were warmly welcomed. The bar isn't huge but is well provisioned. There was an adequate selection of beers and ales on tap, including several local and regional choices. The wine list also focused on quality and value rather than extensive selections. The food choices ranged from your pub classics like fish and chips and shepherd's pie, but also included a variety of special dishes. Everything we tried was spectacular,... Visualizza piatti
