The Swan - King's Lynn and West Norfolk

Nice but my medium rare steak was medium to well cooked. A second one was brought it was definitely rare… A shame and a fairly simple thing to get right

Overnight stay with breakfast. Recently decorated, spotless, perfectly powerful shower, beds comfy. All-you-can eat breakfast was plentiful delicious. Staff very friendly could not do more to help.

For a family birthday celebration we selected the Swan. Evidently a popular destination, judging by the busy car park (not to mention their many 'good ' and 'excellent ' reviews , we were not disappointed! A traditional pub, with separate areas (rooms accommodating well spaced tables, clean and fresh. Once seated at our table, we couldn 't see the bar/waiting staff most of the time, nevertheless, the service was excellent: as if by magic, staff were always on hand when we needed anything! There was an extensive choice of meals on the menus (I did get a bit confused with the my menu worth noting that if you have anyone with gluten intolerance, a separate menu is provided making their selection a lot easier my confusion was born of the fact that hadn 't noticed the heading! Our party ordered starters, main courses and desserts... Without exception, all the dishes were very nice indeed, fresh, home made and hot served with a smile. Thank you, Swan staff, for facilitating an excellent evening. The Swan will certainly be our 'local of choice ' for the foreseeable future.

We stopped off here en route to Burnham Overy Town Friday evening before the bank holiday. It was busy both inside and out, as soon as we appeared in the doorway of the pub and a scottish gentleman behind the bar greeted us and advised we could have a table but it would have to be outside as they were full. We sat in the tent area as it was getting a bit chilly, we were served promptly, and yummy starters arrived quickly, I had a prawn dish which was delicious. Whilst we were waiting for our main, the man from behind the bar came to tell us that there was a table now free inside if we would like it. It was a big table but a really cosy room. Again our mains arrived quickly and were huge! We sat opposite a local couple who were very friendly. all in all it was such a lovely unexpected experience with all staff being friendly and efficient. We have already said we'll definitely be back when we go back up to Norfolk.

We were staying in Thetford forest and decided on last minute meal out. The lady at The Swan was very helpful, we sat outside as we had our dog with us. But meals service were brilliant!
