They serve a lovely carvery with a choice of three meats, usually pork, beef, turkey, gammon and occasionally lamb. There is a choice of vegetables which you help yourself to and you can have as much as you want, the roast potatoes are very tasty and well cooked. The waiting staff are very friendly and quick to serve I have never booked, I have just turned up even on a Sunday and got a table but I get there at midday and while I am there it does get busy. There is also a menu to order from if you dont fancy the carvery.

I tried to get in for the quiz a few weeks back but it was fully booked, with standing room only. We hung about for a few pints and it was a good laugh. We had a great night last week at a disco and apparently these are regular. Dog friendly, so I'm bringing my Harry next time I go as we are getting food because it looked and smelled delicious. Really lovely atmosphere and very tastefully presented.

In terms of cost, for five people with beer and a bottle of Rose, it came to £160. Starters were seriously nice - all of them. Main course was okay, bit unfortunately nothing to write home about. They have a large selection of Deserts as well to entice you if you still have room to spare! Service was very good and personal. Ideal place to go if you're taking your parents out for a treat!!

Myself and 2 others went in for dinner, every dish was immaculately presented, and absolutely delicious! I had the paella which looked and tasted like it was made in a Spanish seafront restaurant. All the staff were very alert and friendly, which added to our fantastic experience. I cannot recommend this enough, I will certainly be returning again!!

We went on a Tuesday night. Good pub ambience. Food: good. Had the curry and fish pie. What was somewhat disappointing: no bangers and mash or fish and chips. Must have been a busy prior weekend.

Decor is very cute, with a ski theme (although doesn't match the swan name but who cares). The staff were super friendly and helpful, including when I noticed they forgot our dressing and brought it out immediately. I would say the food was not my favorite. The options were mostly fried pub food so I guess that's to be expected.

It is located beside the Basingstoke Canal, with a good sized beer garden, in a nicely renovated older building. The menu is varied, the food comes in good portions, and the selection of real ales is normally excellent. Really the only thing that stops it getting a full "5" rating is the service can be tardy at lunchtimes, which is problematic if one is seeking a pleasant workday lunch in that otherwise culinary desert of the Aldershot-Farborough area.

Completely brown, all juice had left it and it was bit like eating hard brown sawdust. When I enquired whether it was standard practice to overcook the beef to this extent (as it is in Canada, where that is required by law) I was told it was corporate policy. I ate half and gave up as it was a pretty terrible experience. I will not grace their premises again. Perhaps other food is better but I suspect most of their proteins will similarly be ruined by their corporate policy. Waste of an hour of my life to drive over here.
