The Black Swan - Amber Valley

My family and I went to this restaurant with a party of sixteen while staying nearby for the weekend. We were asked to pre-order our meals, which we weren't thrilled about but understood given the large group. When we arrived, half of the table had the proper utensils and napkins, while the other half was missing items. We waited a while to order drinks and discuss our wine choices, but nobody came to take our order. When the starters finally arrived, it was chaotic trying to get the right dishes to the right people and waiting for glasses. We had to ask for napkins, which were tossed at us. The main courses arrived missing peas with the fish and chips. All three burgers had to be sent back because they were cold. The chef decided to start over, but by the time the burgers were re-served, everyone else had finished their meals. Desserts were slow to come, possibly due to the burger delay, and we had to ask for spoons. We even had to track down one of the desserts. The food was okay, but nothing special.

Amazing Sunday lunch, worth the price as felt a bit special. Staff were all very friendly and the atmosphere was very relaxed and homely. We left very content and full!

We all had different dishes and each was equally delicious. Beautiful venue, good music and friendly service. Would definitely recommend.

Called in for a lunch when driving past soo happy we did best food around two of the table had Panini’s two for £20 and got plenty of food and we had the kebab skewers which where to die for wish we had room for a dessert will definitely be back

We celebrated a 60th birthday with a party of 10 and everything was perfect - the food, service, and value. The portions were generous for all courses and there were plenty of vegetable accompaniments. Our server was lovely.
