Reviews of The White Swan Stonehouse
L. R.
I am not a big fan of burgers but the vegetarian chickpea burger etc was absolutely delicious. I would definitely order it again.
The place was clean and windows were open for good ventilation.
The staff were friendly smiley and very helpful and the food came quickly.
It always makes a difference when staff serve with a smile and some conversation, especially when your eating alone. Nikita came served with a super big smile and made my experience there an enjoyable one with just the right amount of conversation. Thank you Nikita 😍

Had a lovely time at the White Swan. Chris the manager was super friendly and we really enjoyed the carvery and puddings ! Also dog friendly area which is a bonus! Will definitely be returning 😃
D. D.
Dropped in on my way home and had the Sunday carvery. Cannot fault, meat was hot, juicy and not dry, plenty of vegetables to go with it.
So much so when finished struggle to stand as it was so filling and nice.
Would have been perfect with a pint of real ale, but none on.
Seems a very likable carvery and pub going by the amount of people in there.
s. r.
Had a quick bite to eat before heading home, Absolutely stunning pizza made by Toni also tasted amazing, highly recommend.
C. T.
I came here for breakfast with my toddler and couldn’t have wished for a nicer welcome! The two ladies (Katie and Nikita) were super friendly, helped look after my little boy whilst I got our food and simply created a really lovely environment for us to enjoy our visit. The food was great - fresh, well cooked and super tasty. We’ll be back soon! Thanks so much
A. J.
Went for Sunday dinner and was blown away by the service and the food. The carvery was spectacular, all four meats with lashings of fresh vegetables, even better was the crackling at the end of the serving counter, Just when i thought it couldn't get any better there as mint gravy and a great range of sauces. Looked smelled and tasted great, unfortunately because i had the largest carvery with the pigs in blankets i was unable to try the desserts, my wife had the profiterole sundae which looked amazing. All in all a great visit, the young lady Nikita looked after us and was very friendly. Cant wait to visit again.
S. O.
Booked for a group of 7, staff greeted us and the table was ready. Staff were really friendly and advised that fresh vegetables would be out in 10 mins if we would like to wait for the carvery. Good selection of both meat and vegetables.
Our table was booked at 7.30 and there were a few people at the bar area nut no other diners, pub lacked atmosphere but good value for money.
K. B.
Very friendly staff, greeted by Nikita and Dan. My salad was very well presented and served by the chef, I think his name was Bob. Daughter had carvery which was very fresh and tasty. Will definitely be returning. Thanks very much for your hospitality 😀
J. O.
Visited today, had the large carvery, excellent food, well presented, cooked to perfection. Friendly staff, not overly busy either, which was reassuring coming out of restrictions soon. Well priced, plenty on the plates, will return.
S. H.
Lovely Carvery. Some of the veg had dried up a bit, we went at 3pm mid week, but they did bring fresh veg out when we asked them. Would still recommend it. staff are really helpful and friendly to.
J. G.
Had 2 carvery's and two drinks and it came to 19.40. Good price. Food good and bigger slices of meat. Large car park. Also fresh dough pizzas. Best to go a little later in the afternoon as not so busy.
H. C.
From the warm welcome to the fabulous food everything exceeded expectations.
A special mention has to go to Ryan who took our order and greeted every request to remove from or add something to a dish with a ‘yes, no problem at all’ and the food arrived exactly as we ordered - perfect.
We had pizza and calzones this visit but will be back for a Carvery.
I would definitely recommend for good food and friendly service
R. M.
Good food and good quick service.
We had a party of 12 and was was made to feel very welcome.
Big shout out to Jon, Nikita, Dan, Katie and Arron for the amazing puddings.
Will defiantly be going back.
a. l.
Had the best night!
They managed to book me and 13 other people in on very short notice (also the day before mothers day) they gave the best service, staff are all very polite and helpful. They was on the ball when asking for extra plates and cutlery for my 1 year old and overall with serving and cooking the food we ordered. My kids also had a lovely time playing in the play area. Will 100% be going there in future for meals.
M. W.
All food Excellent value for your money. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Very clean and tidy place to be in. It used to be a horrible pub to drink in, but now they have a new boss, managers and staff the white swan is a lovely place to eat out.
V. R.
Friendly staff, Pizza’s are amazing. Hand stretched stone baked. The young pizza chef was really good and made our pizzas exactly how we requested , he was really friendly and made the best pizza!
C. E.
We had an excellent meal, staff were friendly, welcoming and food was perfect. Nikita in particularly was a fantastic host and couldn’t have done anymore to make our meal a great one.
a. j.
Absolutely lovely breakfast, freshly cooked, eggs cooked to perfection, little gem of a place. Lee the lad behind the bar was lovely and couldn't do enough for us. Definately returning soon.
D. G.
I came across this white Swan on the too good to go app, it was my first time using the app and i was a bit nervous to what i was going to get. But as you can see by the picture i got a full carvery (enough for two people) and they even gave me some extra sausages and beef for the dog. The whole process of going in and getting the food was very smooth, the manager and the lad behind the carvery station were very friendly, polite and i was in and out in less than 3 minutes.
The food was really nice as well!
I would definitely recommend white swan :)
M. C.
Absolutely brilliant. Had a large group booking, the food was lovely, the staff were very accommodating and the whole day was excellent. Great place
K. K.
Greatly improved from what it used to be. They now serve a good carvery at a reasonable price. Staff are friendly and sociable.
c. p.
Had a lovely meal sunday, came in with my mom, brother and dad, we had really great service from lee behind the bar. Would definitely recommend the white swan to family and friends!
J. C.
Went for a carvery to celerbrate sons wedding annerversary meal was lovely hot and cooked to perfection we all cleared our plates which is unusual for me and my husband well done white swan and the staff was helpful and welcoming will be back
A. C.
This pub is an unknown gem as it seems it is under used at breakfast time even though it's only a short drive from junction 3 of the M42 west.
It's the high standard Stonehouse breakfast with high standards of Covid control which means you get a great breakfast experience in a safe & clean environment.
5 stars to the manager & his team who make your welcome friendly even though everyone is masked up.
Highly recommend.👍
D. T.
Family meal at White Swan. Food was excellent and staff were very friendly. Nikita was an excellent host. Will definitely be returning.
L. M.
Just had a Carvery here and the staff are so friendly and helpful. Food was nice and reasonably priced.
S. G.
Definately my favourite stonehouse carvery i have been to. Carvery is very nice all good cooked well and generous portions much better than a toby carvery. Today we had pizza both were lovely and the chicken bites tasted amazing. I have to add on all of the staff were very friendly and helpfull. We cant fault any of our experience. Will definately come again
l.
Great tasting carvery and were happy to take a booking for 13 people at short notice. Will go again
P. H.
Warm food with a poor choice of meats, £13 for 4 glasses of draft Diet Pepsi makes it my last visit.
M. J.
The staff are pleasant and friendly, however the first beer I ordered tasted a bit off (the 61 deep - maybe it's not particularly popular with the regulars so had sat for a bit), the food was average but perfectly edible with a pint.
I would suggest they relocate the ice cream station to somewhere more visible as the kids at a nearby table were running back and forwards helping themselves to handfuls of the toppings.
P. A.
Brilliant carvery, generous with the meat. Good friendly atmosphere. Also had a breakfast which was perfect. Many thanks. Good value. Safe environment.
C. f.
Been coming into this pub since the summer. Don't go there often as I am out of area and only there when I am here visiting friend. Always given a warm welcome and staff are warm and friendly. On the occasions I have eaten food here never had a bad experience. Carvery is lovely roast beef is beautiful and plenty of vegetables to choose from. The pizzas are amazing. Today I had the cheese and bacon burger that I would definitely recommend. Compliments to the chief. Will be back here again soon I am sure 😊😊
R. D.
Superb service - especially for my Coeliac daughter. Dan the manager went above and beyond requesting the chef (carl/chris) to make a fresh batch of chips completely separate for her needs. Amazing.
S. e.
We had been looking for 30 minutes for somewhere to just get normal food, nothing fancy, but more than a snack.
A gent at Beckett's Farm pointed us in this direction.
Lots of parking. Big bar. Outside seating area.
Asked if they served food, as we were in the bit between lunch and evening, and they were 😁 - carvery and pizza. We chose carvery. Together with 2 pints it was under £20, which was very good.
The people serving were polite and helpful.
The carvery looked a bit old and dry, however, it was lovely. Lots of vegetables. Very tasty. Beef was very good and their horseradish sauce was excellent.
Twice a lady came out and asked it everything was okay.
All-in-all good service; good food and nice place to stop. Thank you.
S. P.
Clean restaurant, service was wonderful. Polite members of staff. Food was very good. Would go again and also recommend others to try it.
S. R.
Great friendly staff. Carvery didn't look very appealing but tasted really lovely, not much you can do with it sitting under lamps. But recommended from me for a good meal and drink for under £20 for two mid week
M. M.
Lovely carvery. Gammon ham, beef and turkey with plenty of veg choice. All piping hot. Excellent value for money.
c. f.
This is a really cosy pub. Has a great atmosphere. Always given a warm welcome. Staff are really friendly. Always have a laugh here. I don't come here often as I don't live in wythall. I always visit this pub whenever I come and visit my friend. If I could call this my local then I would. I have eaten here on a few occasions. The food has always been amazing. Carvery is beautiful. The pizzas are to die for. Will definitely be back here. The staff now know me by name. I love that
K.
Had a great experience; the chef called Bob is a legend. Very friendly and helpful. Will definitely return! ✌️
A. L.

L. H.
We've been here a few times. The staff are lovely and very friendly. The food is good - it's pub food and carvery so there's something for everyone. What keeps us returning is the staff - honestly, their customer service is second to none. Had a little complaint that was dealt with so quickly and they couldn't apologise enough. The gentleman who I believe is the Manager is so eager to please! Will definitely be returning. Thank you 😊
J. s.
Lovely carvery with great staff, regular visitor and can recommend this place as a great place to visit.

Best calvery I've had for a long time. Most places are too stingy with the meat, not this place. Great food reasonable price. Will definitely go back.
d. c.
Excellent place to eat and drink, came in for a carvery on sunday, we hadnt booked but the manager managed to find us a table. Pub was really busy so was very greatful.
Will definately be visiting again.
A. W.
Amazing food when we went for a family carvery. Prompt service especially waiter Lee who looked after us well. Definitely recommended from us.
I. C.
A place that had very friendly staff. We had the carvery which was OK maybe if the veg was warmer it would have been worth a return but we will see.
m. w.
Badly run establishment. I booked a table for 5 people at 4pm for a Sunday lunch on the Saturday evening prior. When we arrived, I was met by the manager who informed me that there might be a delay as he hadn't got a free table, when I asked why, he explained that it was caused by people who hadn't booked just coming ad-hoc to eat, and he let them in as he couldn't turn business away.
I thought I would have a look at the meat selection before deciding on staying and waiting for a table and asked if they were going to put more out as all that was left was scrap's, I was told not, as his food allocation suggested he'd got plenty of meat.
I suggested there was barely enough for one xlarge plate let alone 5, the manager then directed us to a sister pub towards Kings Heath The Knob I think, who he said hadn't been as busy. They had, but managed their food output better, we got our Carveries and they were nicely done, hat's off to them.
S. P.
Popped in for a buffet breakfast midweek and couldn't really fault the food. Staff were pleasant and food was regularly topped up in the serving trays.
p. c.
I went here Sunday afternoon with my brother in law and sister who is in a wheelchair, the management are very helpful , when we came in the place it was very busy , two local gave up their table so my sister could get to the table with her wheelchair, we all enjoyed our meals which were lovely , the staff ver very helpful and friendly , and I would just like to say a thank you to the management 👍.
N. J.
Excellent service on carvery deck from bob and jon, really impressed with portions 🤘
S. P.
Came with my family yesterday, fantastic service all questions answered and a very polite and helpful lad called Lee (behind the bar) made our experience one of the best when visiting a lovely restaurant. Will definitely be coming back and will definitely recommend to others⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
S. B.
Arrived at Swan and taken to our table, the waitress was very helpful, and told us when to go up and get our carvery, there was only 2 meats in which I was told they are not busy and end up throwing a lot away. I got want I wanted and the nice waitress took it to our table, service was good but wasn't keen on the food, might give it another try soon
s. 9.
Aboustly lovely food and the staff were lovely too! The manager was so kind and sorted us a table out as didn't book.
Service was great. We will be back
Thank you 😊
S. J.
Good people even better food, will be visiting again really soon.
S. N.
Had afternoon lunch here a few weeks ago. Very good service
a. G.
I just love this carvery. My friend & I met here tonight for dinner as we have done many times before. The staff and customer service is second to none and they always go that extra mile to accommodate you, even when they are busy. During this current crisis I feel it's one of the safest places to eat out at the moment and follows all of the required safety guide lines. The guy that was serving the carvery was friendly and generous with the portions and the lady who showed us to our table was so patient, helping me to download the App so that we could benefit from a 50%discount too! Definitely recommend. Hand sanitiser freely available and dinner carried to our table for us. We also enjoyed an ample dessert! Amazing. As a key - worker at the end of a busy day this really is the place to fill up,relax and unwind, we were there for over two hours. Thank you xx.
S. F.
The manageress was wonderful
Had a few issues, but she was great
s. m.
Extremely friendly staff. The carvery smelt and looked wonderful did not have time to try it myself but will defo give it a go in the near future will update you as and when
J. L.
Went here for a carvery with my cousin and honestly really enjoyed it...you can have a selection of meats plus the sides are really tasty would recommend to go on a Sunday lunch
j. f.
Fantastic service of staff especially kind and considerate Nikita. They treat disabled people very well.
D. A.
Had an enjoyable carvery at lunch time for three people which was booked through the Stonehouse app. The manager and staff were very attentive with full COVID measures in place.
It is sometime since we visited the Swan but we were very impressed with the food and service. The staff were all very pleasant and we hope to return again soon.
J. W.
The food on the carvery was good and overall value for money.

T. S.
We visited here with family. We're not from the local area and was told this was a nice place to eat. The carvey looked good so we all decided to go for that plus a kids meal. The portion sizes were big even though I only went for a small. The selection of veg was good and lots of it. The meat was good apart from the beef that was a bit dry. Shame there was no chicken or Turkey. The guy on the carvery was great very friendly. The kids meal was a good size. The table area wasn't as clean as I'd have liked as there was food under the table probably from the people before. The place wasn't busy so I was surprised to see this. The play area was a nice touch for the kids. All in all a nice visit and I would return just hope it's cleaner next time and I'd like to see chicken as an option for those who don't eat red meat.
D. E.
Friendly staff, nice atmosphere and good tasty carvery with plenty of options
Z.
I came in for a meal with the family and the carver jon was excellent and very chatty and the meat was lovely also the veg was spot on would recommend to come here food and service is on point.
S. A.
Ok carvery, staff very nice
T. D.
We popped in on monday for a carvery after toby carvery was full. And I was in for a treat.
Nice open pub, great menu and some great offers which lead to us having a carvery as well as a pizza and a burger...
It was all great I enjoyed every bit of it. For the carvery They give you a sheet and you select size, what meat you want, veg gravy and sauces. It was all generously portioned and I enjoyed it very much.
The pizza was tasty and the burger was good. I personally prefer fries over chips.
Service was friendly. You still need to pay before food is ordered although at the moment they are offering table service.
Between us we paid just under £12 each for all this food
I will be back
To the manager, apologise for my previous review to the wrong venue. Im not sure what happened there.
N. W.
First the bad bits.
The pub was way to hot on a day when the temp is already 27+ degrees and the heating was on. No air con at all. The tables were sticky. There was no carvery or fish left which is pretty bad because as a slimming world member there wasn't much choice after that. The lady on the bar, I'm assuming she was the manager with a striped long shirt on with long hair was really mean to Nakita that was serving even to the point that my 9 year old picked up on it and said nakita looked sad. Because nakita was the only one serving, taking orders and bringing food out she forgot to put our order in so food took longer to come out.
The good bits.
Nice location and handy having the park bit outside for the kids to play on while waiting for their food to come out. The food was nice and as there was no carvery i was given the option of a grilled chicken salad without the dressing. Nakita couldn't stop apologising for the mix up and gave us a round of drinks to compensate for the late food. She seemed so stressed and flustered as she was the only one doing all the running round inside and out and the clean up as customers left. At one point her manager was in the back and kept poking her head round to look at he bar but she didn't come to help.
Nakita you did really well and and we were happy with the service even if it didn't quite go to plan. You are a credit to the company and I hope you get it abit easier soon.
L. M.
lovely food, lovely staff much better since last time which was a few years ago, looks like there's a new manager there and he has definitely made a big difference. Would definitely go again
P. C.
Very good customer service experience.very friendly staff.the carvery was nice and hot will be bk again
S. M.
Had a lovely delicious carvery today, first meal out since lockdown.
The Staff were very friendly and welcoming, plenty of room, tables spaced apart and a one way system in place.
Food plated up with what you ask for, then given to you at the end of the counter, recommend it via booking. After use the tables are cleared and cleaned straight away, shame I can't give more stars.
Thank you to the Staff at The White Swan, Whythall 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
M. F.
Got told this was a great place to go and eat,,so while working in Hollywood me and the lad decided to go and try it and in my opinion it was bang on,,got there at 12 and cleared my carvery plate,,meat was juicy veg was perfect and the manners of the young lad serving was exceptional...keep up the good work I'm coming back...
K. M.
Just had two burgers and two pizzas for £20 with a couple of beers between 3 of us ,fantastic service, great food and made to feel very welcome. Social distancing was observed without being heavy handed. All in all a very enjoyable experience which I highly recommend.
c. m.
Children enjoyed their meals, the carvery however was not nice burnt roast potatoes, overcooked meat, dried up veg. Manager was very apologetic and offered us all free deserts.
B. C.
We had 4 meals and they were all very good, and the drinks weren't stupid money to,, 100 %we will be going out there again to see the happy staff,, Thank you from Dave Burney Nola and Brian,,
C. G.
Good food, lovely staff, looking forward to next visit 👏😉
T.
I have been to this pub a few times in the last month and I have to say that it is excellent, I refer specifically to the breakfast which I went there with my mum and dad. The food was hot and fresh, the service was excellent and the price was superb. Excellent venue and would strongly recommend to anyone wanting breakfast.
A few days later I went here for an evening meal, I had the pizza and it was fantastic - great value, drinks are keenly priced and the staff were helpful. Manager came over to ensure our visit was ok and I commended him and his team on the service on the occasions we have been.
R. C.
Lovely food and a warm welcoming atmosphere.
A. M.
Food was delicious we h
plenty of choice carverywas delicious A friendly atmosphere and helpful staff
R. W.
Amazing food and even better service! Thank you to all the staff for looking after us, especially just before the England game, was great for the kids!:)
S. C.
Unfortunately I find this place hit and miss with the food and the staff but it's reasonably priced and local so we find ourselves eating here occasionally. Inside the building can get very warm so if like me you don't like to be too hot when you eat I would dress lightly. If ordering burgers ask for freshly cooked because they do precook them.The Pizzas are always very good and the carvery is passable. Take a look at the meat before ordering though as I've seen it extremely dry. The chips are sadly never any good but the salad bar is a nice touch. Last time I visited I mixed and matched their starters on a special offer as my main and it was all lovely.
S. M.
Good breakfast, good selection very helpful and pleasant staff
N. C.
Good carvery. Went large and had extra meats, very nice. Veggies were a bit naff.

Great place to finally meet up.with family. We'll manager for the current environment. Service was great and the food was very good
B. M.
We had our daughters 3rd birthday here and all the children had a fantastic time! The area the party was held in was large enough to not feel like we were all on top of each other and weren't in the way of other guests. The staff were lovely, especially Leah who hosted the party. Most of the accompanying adults also ate and there were no complaints from anyone. The play area outside was also a big hit!
d. a.
great carvery, friendly staff
D. L.
Popped in for an early evening carvery. Very nice, I just wish that the food had not been standing for so long as some of it had gone hard such as the roasters and Yorkshire's which we all love. Staff are great and polite.
M. T.
Quite busy when we arrived, but found a table and decided on the carvery. The choice of meats were, Turkey , Beef, Pork, Gammon. They were cooked perfectly and they had a good range of vegetables too. Very enjoyable meal.
M. H.
Nice pub. Excellent staff. Good food. What's not to like.
Been here several times recently and despite the new rules it is still a good place to go for lunch

Good prices and quality very good. Unlimited chips and salad with pizzas and carvery under 6 quid! Plenty of parking. Average seating quantity. We had pizzas on this visit. Very nice, good quality toppings but crusts too crispy for our liking. Only 3 stars as younger staff members and chefs too chatty and shouting to each other, also stood round chatting whilst there was a queue. Also were using profane language in front of punters. Took ages to have plates/glasses cleared from tables. Other than the food a real let down. Will return. Solely based on food price/quality.
A. C.
The food is what you would expect for the price you pay, not bad but not amazing. The service is fast and friendly. It's a big place with plenty of parking.
K. M.
You get what you pay for at this place. Had 2 carverys and 2 drinks....16 quid! Only 2 meats to choose from when we arrived but the veg and the condiments were fresh and tasty. There's an extensive reasonably priced alternative menu. I live local but if I was a traveller, I'd definitely do the 2 mile detour off the M42 for a cheap and cheerful dinner. Real ale too!
A. M.
Second carvery in 2 weeks and just as good as the first. Definately my favourite place to go and eat. Keep up the good work.
K. H.
Lovely meal, was told straight away that some meals were not available but had alternatives, great food and service
B. C.
Went up for a carvery this Thursday, £4.50 for a full belly! Cant go wrong, pint and a carvery with change from a tenner is a winner all day long.
4 Meats on the hot plate, 10 sauces and 2 gravy's for you to treat yourself too, plenty of veg and potatoes on offer., Chips, mash and Roasties. Meat was a little dry but we'd missed the lunchtime rush (4PM), but turn up at lunch time and you'll get a moist slice no problem.
Parking is no problem and the staff on the bar are quick and efficient, quick decent lunch for under a tenner gets a big thumbs up from where i'm sitting!
C. L.
Really nice carvery. Both beef and pork were lovely. The only issue I had was that the roasties were dry but my fella said his were nice so might have just been unlucky. Speedy service. Definitely be back. x

Lovely pub with friendly staff + Nice Food AAAA+++
R. A.
Great place to eat, recently moved to the area and the service is great and carvery always excellent.
K. S.
It is a smaller selection vs prem inn breakfast however for the price the food today was on point. It was not greasy and food was prepared in smaller portions so its fresh as it comes. Had 2 breakfasts and 2 bottomless hot drinks at £13. Is a bargain. We checked the food before actually staying as the other option was becketts but the food looked on point and tasted good too. Definitely worth a visit. Some have said they have had poor service so i am guessing it is a little hit n miss however we had a good visit.
H. D.
We popped in on the off chance, really glad we did, this is one of the best carveries we have had for a long time, it was clean, the staff were polite, friendly and helpful. 5 stars were easy to give and we would definitely recommend that you go if you get chance. We will be going back and telling and taking friends/family to go.
D. W.
One of my favourite places when visiting family - Lee and Nikita were amazing tonight, thanks for the service and dessert advice!
P. T.
Nice carvery in a nice location, only downside was that at a Sunday lunchtime with the Velo on, you'd have thought they'd have put staff levels up by a few extras staff, to only have 3 bar staff dealing with bar orders, food orders etc, they were a tad pushed. But food was lovely & can also recommend the buffet breakfast which I had on a previous visit.
s. j.
Friendly staff, wide range of clientele, children welcome. Nice carvery, usually has pizza and salad but not today.
a. w.
Just popped in to see the new decor and new menu. Place looks good, the additions to the menu are a welcome change.
We tried the fish & chips. Good fish.. But the chips could've been a bit more crispier..
Overall a pleasant & friendly venue. Will be back for sure..
R. J.
Amazingly cheap and good food for the price. I don't know how they make a profit, but they have been there for years. A carvery with choice of 2-3 meats plus usual veggies. This is not haut cuisine, but it is good grub at a silly price. Worth diverting off the motorway on the way home so that you don't have to cook when you get back
N. S.
Lovely food and very friendly staff, drinks a bit over priced for soft drinks but had a wonderful time
C. O.
My local and its a great place with friendly staff and good atmosphere.
A. B.
We used to go here a lot when this pub belonged to the Crown Carvery. It was a really nice place to have a cheap lunch.
But since the new owners have taken over, it and indeed most of the Stonehouse chain have now gone off terribly.
The prices went up a lot, probably to cover the cost of refurbishment but also whenever you go there, the food is either cold or dried up in the serving dishes because not as many people go there now and the turn over of food is much slower.
Not really somewhere I would recommend any more.
M. T.
I visited the venue in September 2019 and the food was absolutely fabulous, I had the carvery. The beef was succulent and the roasties were beautiful and crispy. Truly marvellous pudding menu too - would defo recommend
K. W.
Cheap and cheerful carvery and pizza pub.
M. S.
Friendly staff...carvery was ok. The meat was just a tad dry.
D. W.
Excellent food well manerded staff. The only thing that lost them another star is that there was water over the floor by gravy stand a sign was put there but not mopped. Also no help offered whilst in the carvery having to walk with crutches. They need to be more disabled freindly
S. S.
Lovely carvery, great price, happy friendly staff. Will visit again next time we are in the area.
S. B.
The pizzas are nice and big enough for a big boy. On the hot plate the pie is hard to beat. I like the ham the most on the hot plate as far as the choice you are allowed within the meats. They are not stingy with the meat either. The only comment I would say is more gravy options only the standard one not the mustard or any of the other funky gravys you can find at other places. I would have the ice cream option but when your sitting down you can see all the kids hand molding it. Overall if you don't want to wash up after a Sunday dinner it's worth the money. 25quid will get you 4 dinners 2 fruit shoots and 2 pints of coke. Great place thanks kiss kiss Steve
S. a. E. d.
Very busy in here. Great selection of food. Not sure about getting up to get your own food, all food not just the carvery. Odd purple wandering about with their plates of food. However I understand you need less staff.
R. C.
Went there with two friends and we all wanted a carvery, got there at 8:30 to be told the carvery had finished so we ordered pizzas instead and the chef said he would sort us out with some desserts afterwards because of the issue. The pizza's arrived and all of us commented on how hard and crunchy they were and that there was nothing really special about them. We finished the pizza and because they were only ok we decided we were going to have the desserts to try and make up for it however we tried to find the chef that we had been served by only to find he had gone home so no desserts for us. We left saying we wouldn't go out of our way to go there again unfortunately.
As the manager replied to this rating I felt the need to give an explanation for my 3 stars. Sorry Chris but it just wasn't a great visit :(
K. B.
Needed a little bit more meat apart from that great
D. B.
My wife and i eat their often never had a problem with both service or food standard. The smoke as you walk through the door well that's down to us non smokers, who stopped them smoking indoor's, we cant have it both ways. back too the food great value for money
J. J.
Really friendly staff food us lovely would recommend this place
N. M.
Lower third place of the turn up and go casual dining sector. Unpretentious. Decent food. Reasonable price. Good value and quality. Ice cream needs work... Don't think it's been near a cow.
K. M.
Lovely meal nice pub and very welcoming 5*
K. S.
Great value carvery, melt in the mouth meats
L. T.
Lovely place to grab a beer and a Sunday roast, excellent service from Samm. Would definitely recommend to family and friends.
l. r.
Very nice but unfortunately food, especially gravy, just not hot enough !!
N. W.
Great place to finally meet up.with family. We'll manager for the current environment. Service was great and the food was very good
S. W.
Tina and jade catered for my toddler son who has milk allergy and anaphlatic to wheat at a pizza party without and prewarning and managed to cater a main meal and a desert for him. They even ensured all staff was aware of his allergy and gone the extra mile in extra cleaning and sterilising of equipment. They made my experience stress free. I can never really eat out with my son as there's usually cross contamination or nothing avaliable for my child which doesnt harm him or put him at risk. Thank you and will visit again!
S. m.
Had a greatevening. There was 19 of us in the party and the food was served all together, even though we all paid separately. Food was great all left fill stuffed. Will book up for christmas with the family about 24 of us.
A. J.
Nice clean and tidy friendly staff. Carvery was okay we went mid afternoon so food was little on the low side and gravy could have done with being replaced with fresh.
K. M.
My son was missing food off his plate, we had to ask for it Covid rules at the bar were poor, but i have seen much worse. Food was 4/10 at best.
j. R.
I have only ever had the carvery, which is good value. You can choose from gammon, turkey and Beef, or all three. Choice of veg - cabbage, cauliflowrr cheese, carrots, peas, mashed potatoes, swede, carrot and potsto mashed, chips. Choice of salad, vegetarian gravy if wanted, choice of sauces. Great value. No dessert.
e. n.
Had Christmas meal, was very good.
M. S.
Visited a couple of times now and been very impressed. Food tastes great, pretty cheap and something for everyone on the menu. It's not particularly local to where I live but I'll definitely be going back again so that says how good I think it is!
S. M.
Came in for a meal with my daughter, and was very impressed with all the covid rules, plenty of hand sanitizer around and staff are on the ball when it comes to all the rules and regulations. Would recommend to anyone and everyone
J. L.
Great food and very reasonably priced
L. G.
Food excellent as usual, covid safe although I do not see the reason for a waitress to carry your plate from the servery back to tour table while you walk with them.
K. J.
Picked a very busy day - managed to get a table for party with wheelchair. Carvery was excellent as ever; dessert was ok but a bit disappointing and took 15 minutes to come.
K. M.
A Regular of the White Swan went today after 3 months as the staff and service was excellent keeping Customer safe during dinning at the Restaurant ...Carvery was lovely which i had missed since it had been closed
Look forward to.our visit on Sunday and Thank.you to all Mrs Karen Morris
S. P.
Food was good and prices as well. However when sat in the pub I was freezing. Not sure if it was just underestimation on the cold weather and when to put heating on but it was cold in there when we went at lunch.
G. T.
Food was ok, the carvery was not what I was expecting. But it's great that they have a new pizza oven. Might go and try one! Would recommend for cheap day out!
E. B.
Love the carvery friendly staff. Well worth the price of food. Bottomless ice cream for kids and adults great all over worth a visit
C. E.
Fantastic food, modern interior, free O2 WiFi.
C. A.
Food was amazing but due to it being so busy we had to wait some time to be served and the waitress hardly knew what she was doing
A. H.
Great carvery today. Fresh veg put out. Decent meat cut for us and the gravy was hot!
Ryan was a great help!
K. A.
Lovely dinner again, very friendly staff and feel very safe during the current situation.
K. W.
Good food choices.
bar service quick
carvery service slow
b. p.
Great place and lovely staff. Always curious if those staff handling food with beards need beard nets for hygiene reasons as I previously worked in catering and that was followed very strictly.
P. W.
Easy food with friendly staff
s. b.
Booked on line, straight to table ordered food and paid for carvery got served straight away beautiful food puddings for the Granddaughters then went out to the play area, lovely afternoon pleasant and helpful staff decent prices for meals and drink.😁
C. D.
Food was good, desert was good, highly recommend it for the family, very comforting place with very nice workers. Amazing place to eat. Social distancing was perfect! Loved it!
R. S.
Hardly any salad, extras and only one choice of meat until the next beef ready in 30 minutes. Had chicken tikka starter with no lettuce or yogurt sauce. The floor was also extremely dirty. It may have been an off day but as two out of the three of us were celebrating birthdays it was upsetting to say the least.
S. B.
Staff very friendly and the food excellent. Have been several times and has always been very enjoyable. Many many thanks. People who complain about it just realise how inexpensive it is for all the professional tracks you can have recorded.
A. D.
The wait for food wasn't the best for how busy it was. When the food came part of the order was wrong, if the chef himself hadn't come out to apologise for the mistake it would have been a lower rating. Mistakes are made but it's not often that the person responsible owns up themselves.
P. G.
Fabulous pub, absolutely lovely staff.
M. G.
Had a the in laws 50th wedding anniversary meal there
Fantastic staff
The land lady gave them a bottle of procecoo on arrival
Looked after everyone all day
Lovely food
Very well segregated with the current covid 19 situation...
D. C.
When I went, it was understaffed and had slow service. The carvery was good and it is a nice space. Plenty of parking. An average carvery and great value, exactly what you expect!
M. L.
Excellent food and service and really good CoVid awareness and safety measures. Will definitely use The White Swan again. Highly recommended. Great Value.
J. H.
Stonehouse range of pubs. Does carvery's and fresh pizza. Disappointing range of ales but apart from that not bad for a pub food place.
They do need to work on their pizza too many speciality pizzas rather than concentrating on the classics. Still they are freshly made and cooked so good.
S. R.
Really friendly staff, very helpful and accommodating. Food is really nice.
M. W.
Really nice sunday lunch. Have two meats as only slivers off the side if you choose one.But saying that I still had enough. Became my best place when ever I come to Birmingham.
S. K.
Lovely staff..all you can eat breakfast was also lovely.
A. J.
Great food and staff very friendly didn't go for a while as last few times wasn't a good experience but today was great.
d. g.
Food ok though it took ages to be cooked
Staff are very friendly
L. H.
Not bad, disappointed that they didn't have Mac and cheese and didn't seem to have a lot of vegetarian options either. All the meals had paper between the meal and plate. Wasn't really impressed.
S. P.
Enjoyable meal and a couple of pints of lager. We'll managed felt very safe and procedures followed well.
Thankyou
J. G.
Food not great but can't fault the staff as they were very attentive and friendly. Ok but not great.
J. R.
Would recommended, turkey and gammon was really juicy and lovely fresh vegetables.
D. T.
Lovely meal and great service especially from lee
B. H.
My son was in a wheelchair, He is partially blind with a stroke !!! So he needed lots of light to eat his meal, The only place in the pub is the upper deck ! Which does not have a wheelchair access !!! The meal itself was not too bad.
J. L.
Arrived 6.30 on a Friday got parked ok - had carvery plenty fresh veg but only pork/ gammon/ beef - turkey weekends only .Bit noisy but obviously popular
A. J.
Great surroundings and a good choice of food. It's a carvery with a kind of buffet twist. Food was 6/10 and expected better as it's just opened. There's a "help yourself" ethos about the place.
S.
Staff polite and friendly
Reasonably priced
Pizzas very tasty
P. C.
Poor quality and choice of meats. Dried up and sad-looking ham, turkey and beef were on offer. Two of those were small scraps leftover, desperately need to be replaced with new ones.
J. W.
Felt in a very safe atmosphere. Staff really friendly and helpful and the food was delicious as always.
C. W.
Got here at 7pm on a Sunday and they had run out of pork, beef and turkey meat. They only had gammon left, they wanted to charge the same price for a carvery.

Good food but it could have been hotter. The lights on the servery don't seem to keep the food hot and it was only 12.30 so it would not have been out all that long.

Disappointed that at 7pm, there was no turkey on the carvery, only a small piece of gammon and similar piece of beef, which we don't eat, ended up with fish and chips which was ok.

Much improved since the refurb. Good prices and cleaner than it used to be. It's gone from a 2 star to 4 star in my opinion. It has made a big difference.
