Swallows Nest Vintage Inn

Had great food and a pint here on a miserable and wet weekday evening. The waitress, Fran, was charming and chatty (but not overbearing). She accidentally slipped with the plates and spilt a load of my mates peas on the floor as she went to serve the meals, but was brave enough to laugh it off and offered to ‘top up’ his peas. She was helpful and friendly — credit to her for that.
The décor was nice, in the style of a nice country pub, living up to its Vintage Inn brand — warm, cosy and relaxed. The log fire was definitely burning on our Autumnal visit, you could smell it from the car park!
The food was well presented, tasted superb and there was enough to choose from. Not sure on any offerings for kids, but it seemed like a more mature place, maybe for older families, friends and professionals to meet.
Shame I didn’t get chance to spend any time in the bar area, but no doubt I’ll return for another visit.
