What a great pub, dog ? friendly, lovely staff, very helpful bringing my drink to my table as I was alone and with my dog, and the food was lovely, I had the sausage and mash ?.

The small bar is basically a mens bar, not many women go in there. Good food better if you sit in the lounge area where more women go. Staff are usually ok and the landlords friendly chap. Great summer beer garden. Be careful on the nearby road.

Really nice pub, well priced, x2 mains+X2 small drinks and a starter for 39£ is very good! It's very clean and traditional, loads of parking front & back, the lady who seemed to be running the whole place was really kind and helpful! The food was quite lovely, all seemed home made, the duck spring rolls and the chicken burger with chips was awesome just the portion sizes were so huge, my burger was a whole chicken breast! It was so big I couldn't pick it up without it falling all over my plate! My partners Fajita wraps were full of soggy veg unfortunately so half of it was unfortunately inedible which was a real shame as it looked lovely! I think small portions would be much better, waste saving and be much more enjoyable, the food looked and tasted lovely but I just couldn't enjoy it as it was spilling all over the table, shame because it's a fantastic pub and we will come back again! 4.5 stars

Stopped here tonight for something to eat. Very disappointed. I ordered Cumberland Sausage mixed veg and Chips. Please see photos. What sort of Chef sends out a meal like this. A badly burned Cumberland Sausage sat on the mixed veg ? Almost raw broccoli in a dish full of very watery gravy covered in onions. With a cup full of Chips. The Cook has been watching too much MasterChef. It was £16 & Rubbish...

NEW As a reasonably regular visitor for lunch we were very disappointed today by the service or rather the lack of service.We waited nearly 40 minutes for our lunch today, in a not very busy pub bar. When we queried the delay we were told it it was due to a rush of people arriving and that meals were prepared in order. No apology for the delay at all. For the record only one couple had arrived after us and they had not only received their meals but had finished and were preparing to leave before we received our orders. Needless to say we will not be visiting again.

The Swan is a wonderful pub / restaurant. We came here after visiting the Sandringham Estate and found the entire trip to be delightful. The food was excellent and the service was top-notch. We highly recommend stopping by if you visit King's Lynn.
Lovely quiet place for a relaxing pint. And the food ain't half bad

We were visiting long standing friends in Kings Lynn, who recommended this establishment. My friend and ordered the Veggie special which was supposed to consist of a burger, chips , halloumi , onions and salad what was served was a burger a chips.My wife ordered a Ceaser salad which was a wet limp salad which must have been made hours previously and inedible, I ordered a medium rare steak but got a medium steak. We really felt for to poor waitress who had to hear what we thought of what was served

Ordered 4 meals, Special burgers arrived burger an chips, salad, onion rings and halloumi were missing. Ceaser sales was soking wet and limp as if it had been made hours before and was inedible, I ordered a medium/rare steak which was medium though the rest of the plate was good.

We have been here quite a few times for evening meals and they have been reasonable but the last meal was not up to scratch my son who is a chef said it was as if there was a trainee chef in the kitchen. I had Cumberland sausage which was hard onions which were still raw and the mash was dry as a bone. The sea bass was floured and overcooked. You do not flour sea bass. Deep fried seaweed was deep fried rocket and not enough sauce. We were asked at the till if everything was okay and my wife said no some of it wasn’t very good, but there was no response from the bar staff. Felt it was quite expensive at £97 for what we had. We probably won’t come back anymore.
