What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners rave about the exceptional service and delicious food, with many highlighting the charming old pub atmosphere and the fantastic Sunday roasts. While most experiences are overwhelmingly positive, a few reviewers noted food arriving cold or occasional unavailability of specific menu items.
"Valentine's lunch with my fiancé. Quaint little gem in the middle of MK. Food and service was amazing. It was a very busy Friday lunch but we didn't have to wait for long. There was a lovely old fire place in the middle of the room. There are 4 different dining areas, on different levels, so some areas may be a bit difficult for wheel chair access. The bee garden looks inviting, can't wait to visit it when the weather is nice and warm. Definitely will go back for another visit with our friends and family."

"I’m writing a little belated review after visiting here about 5-6 times over the past couple of years.
Ye Olde Swan is a local favourite of mine for my parents, who live close to the village. We’ve been here throughout the seasons and usually come to eat.
The menu hasn’t changed much in that time; it’s consistent and excellent. Being creatures of habit, we usually go for the same dishes: vegan burgers, fish n’ chips and salmon. It’s always up to the same excellent standard, and a happy, smiling waitress always takes our order.
We usually sat near the fireplace with the mystery door leading to an underground (not so secret) tunnel to the church across the road. It’s always a topic of interest, but from research, we believe the tunnel was long-filled due to health and safety issues with the road across from the pub.
Local knowledge aside, it’s a great pub with a vast drinks range and a fab food menu, and we always have a great time. The food is always reasonably priced.
Thanks, we’ll be back very soon."

"Went for a meal here with my partner as we're fairly local and thought it would be nice to try. Very cute and quirky, low ceilings in places but adds to the feel of the pub.
Food was amazing, staff were friendly and helpful and we had a great time. Definitely be back again soon as this isn't a place you can just visit once and not come back to, especially after the great evening we had.
Food we had, that I'd definitely recommend:
Chef's board to start
Rum Pork Belly (specials menu so may not be available but try it if you can!)
Crispy Chicken Burger
Triple Chocolate brownie
Sticky Toffee pudding (which was bigger than we imagined but absolutely no complaints!)
Thank you to the staff and compliments to the chef - beautiful food! X
Added pics of our mains and desserts - apologies not the best photos as they were just a quick pic"
