Our Menus

Bl10

One of the main attractions of the Swettenham Arms is the superb reputation of our food and we are delighted that our Head Chef, Richard Holden, has now been with us for ten years. His artistry and skill are paramount to our success and he has trained a dedicated brigade of chefs which have also been with us for several years. Our menus are constantly updated to reflect ever-changing trends. As well as the tried and tested traditional favourites we offer a Chef's Specialities menu, which allows the Chef to create more ambitious dishes, an extensive vegetarian menu, children's menu, light snacks and sandwiches

We have an extensive selection of sumptious home cooked locally produced food for all appetites, large or small. You may eat in our traditional restaurant or outside on our beautiful patio or garden eating area.

Our menus are constantly changing but we have listed below our tried and tested favourites. As menus and prices may change for seasonal reasons the following are guidelines only.
