    Fantastic food, the roast beef was so tender and the range of vegetables was amazing. The service was exceptional we were shown our seats immediately, menu’s provided and food served quite quickly. The young lady who served us was extremely pleasant polite and very attentive. Overall our experience today was very pleasant, one we will repeat again in the near future. I have no hesitation in highly recommending the Host, fantastic food, service and excellent value for money.

    I was sent the Xmas menu to pick from, submitted our choices but on arrival we were told that was for Xmas day only. They apologised for the mix up gave us 2 bottles of Prosecco on the house and a discount on our meal. I thought this was very thoughtful and we appreciated the service we received nothing was too much trouble. As we only moved here last year and been here twice before it will deffinately be our local where eating out is concerned. Patricia Hammond.

    Ourselves and two other couples get together once a month for a meal at different restaurants and pubs. We chose the Sword in Hand as it has a good reputation for food, and isn’t far from where we live. The meal was exquisite, 4 of us having the “Christmas pie” and thoroughly enjoyed it. The other 2 had chicken schnitzel, and fish and chips, who also had no complaints. The service was impeccable, giving extra commendation to the younger staff who were very attentive, ensuring we were happy with the meals and drinks. I would definitely recommend a visit.
