The Griffin Inn - Swithland

Visited here to celebrate my husband’s birthday. Large car park, large outdoor seating area which was where we sat. Good atmosphere outside & busy for a Wednesday lunchtime. The staff were really friendly, nothing too much trouble. We had some nibbles, missed the starter although there was some tasty looking dishes on, and enjoyed mains & puddings. All really tasty & nicely presented. Would visit again

I recently had the pleasure of visiting your lovely pub and wanted to share my positive experience with you. I must admit that I was initially drawn to your establishment due to its reputation for outdoor drinking, fine dining with a country pub feel, and dog-friendly atmosphere. I was not disappointed! The ambience at your pub is truly delightful, and it was clear to see why it is such a popular and bustling destination. Despite the busy nature of the pub, the service was incredibly attentive, and the staff were warm and welcoming. It is impressive how your team manages to uphold such a high level of service even during peak times. The dog-friendly aspect of your pub is also brilliant, and it was wonderful to be able to enjoy the atmosphere with my furry companion. It's always a relief to find a place that can accommodate four-legged friends. While I thoroughly enjoyed my visit overall, I must admit that the food was a bit of a mixed bag for me. The basic cheeseburger with French fries, priced at £17, felt a bit overpriced for what was essentially a simple meal. I expected a bit more in terms of quality and presentation, especially given the overall appeal of your pub. However, I must commend the flavors, as the food did taste good. One standout feature of your pub is the ample parking. The ability to take a leisurely stroll into the woods across the fields and then return for a hot bowl of soup and a pint is truly a unique and enjoyable experience. In spite of my minor qualms about the food, I am thoroughly impressed by the overall presentation, atmosphere, and the exemplary staff at your pub. It is definitely a place I will be recommending to friends and family, and I do look forward to visiting again in the future. Thank you for providing such a wonderful experience, and I look forward to returning to your pub

We went to the Griffin Inn for a wedding reception. Wow what a fantastic place the reception room was beautiful and the weather was nice so we also used the outdoor area which was well kept with tables and lawns and nice views. The staff were amazing so polite and helpful. The food was first class and drinks reasonably priced. We cannot recommend the Griffin enough. It deserves 6 ⭐
