The Old Swan Inn

We were staying in the village and the taxi driver recommended this place for a bite to eat! Great recommendation as we both had superb meals (vegan curry aubergine tagliatelle) and such a welcoming staff team! Really enjoyed our visit and would very much recommend!

The dining area in this old Pub with a real fire is lovely. The staff is great. I have visited before and have noticed a difference each time. Unfortunately, I believe the quality of the Sunday dinners is declining, with less food and not arriving hot. This used to be a go-to venue for me and my friends, but please pay attention to the details that matter to your customers in this difficult economic climate.

The meal was fantastic and the service was excellent. The restaurant highlights Welsh cuisine and beverages. It is definitely worth a visit in the center of Llantwit Major.

We visited on Friday evening for a drink. The staff didn’t appear to know what they were doing. They were serving people at the bar that were coming after others and ignoring customers that had waited longer. After eventually being served and sitting down with our drinks we decided to have a meal. My wife wanted the chicken pie and I ordered the falafel burger in a bun with an egg and fries. When it came, my burger and fries were presented in a cardboard box like a takeaway, my wife’s did come on a plate. It was poorly presented not cheap and we were really disappointed. We were in Lantwit Major for 3 days, after Friday we didn’t go back to the old swan there were much better pubs across the road. Will not be going back to this pub.

Dropped in for lunch. I had chicken and mushroom pie with carrots, parsnips and chips while my wife had pea and fennel risotto. The risotto was good. The pie had loads of chicken with large sliced mushrooms but the gravy was quite thin but tasty. The veg was not that appealing as they were over cooked. Beer was good. There’s a beer festival on so loads to choose from.
