I brought my two sons here to eat this evening. Hayley and the team made us feel extremely welcome. There is a good atmosphere and the pub was quite busy. The food was well prepared, cooked perfectly and was very tasty. Reasonable prices and a good find. Give it a go, and you won’t be disappointed. We will certainly be returning.

Good find

Strange this one... the welcome in this pub, last visited probably more than 10 years ago, wasn't what I expected.
Good - it has a Car park. Easy to find. It did a tasy lunch and drinks at "normal" prices.
BAD: Before we entered: We arrived after nearly 2 hours driving, to meet a friend who was coming some distance from the opposite direction. Planned to meet 12-ish, but our allowance for A1 traffic delays meant we arrived at 11.30.  We parked and while waiting in the sun for the pub to open at 12.00 were sharply advised by a member of the staff that "We can't park Free" - There is a charge if we don't leave within 15 minutes of arrival"! So we left, waited elsewhere and came back at 12.00 - then parked. 
Upon entering and asking "Hello, where do we sit when staying for Lunch?" were sharply advised "We are not serving lunch until 1pm. So if you are not ordering drinks please leave. We are not a free car park".
I thanked then for their clear and not welcoming message and asked for some drinks, explaining that we were planning to meet a friend who would also be parking. Begrudgingly, they looked at each other and said we could stay. They told us "the parking is limited to paying customers only, to 3 hours"... So I asked them to log the car in to the system designating us as customers - which they did, but just got bad vibes about their attitude. I suggested this was not the best "Welcome" we had received from Yorkshire folk. Most other places we have visited in Yorkshire "as travellers from another county" have given us a very polite, warm and friendly "Welcome", when we arrived and requested some service. But I worked with a guy from Yorkshire who could be abrupt, who advised me it was a Yorkshire trait to tell people the truth. and not wrap it in flowery platitudes"... so being told "what we could not do" upon arrival, was considered as just that.
Sitting with drinks, when our friend arrived, we asked at the bar when we could order lunch. "not till 1pm" was the curt reply.... and we discussed going elsewhere.
After other people - I think locals, known by first names, were able to order lunch, one of the staff approached us at 12.40 and said we were OK to order lunch. 
After the "locals" - allowed to order before us - were served lunch, our food came and the food was "OK" - perhaps not as expected, but edible and had the flavour from the combination of factory products used to assemble the dishes. - My friend remarked that his "Chicken Nuggets in a wrap" were "soggy and soft, not the crispy texture" as he would have expected the coating on the nuggets to be.
So we ate our food, drank drinks, chatted and left - after 2 and 50 minutes of parking time! - Be warned. It is "not Free Parking!"
We won't return.

Lunch meeting friend, Cold welcome "It is not Free Parking!"

From a very warm welcome from Danny and is staff, the room was very clean and the bed very comfortable, I would recommend it to anybody if you are in the Wetherby area to book with confidence we need to support local business,many thanks Danny.

Overnight stay for a wedding

Very kind and welcoming staff, easy access to the building after lock up. Clean room, shower and comfy bed. Lovely location, cheap drinks and wonderful food. I would definitely return again and recommend to a friend

Night stay for leeds festival

Not the most clean and welcoming place.
Smelly dirty entrance
Dirty stairs
Bedroom small, tatty, all complimentary toiletries had been 1/2 used.
Went for a walk.. checked trip adviser 
saw lots of derogatory comments, wish i'd checked before we booked. ...decided not for us.
 Picked up bags and walked out.
Only complimentary thing I can say is the the two young girls on reception, were nice polite kids, and when I mentioned trip adviser, they totally understood where we were coming from.

Smelly, dirty entrance

A delightful couple of hours spent in the Swan and Talbot. We found the menu had something for everyone, including a pretty good vegan selection. The meals all arrived promptly and together. The traditional English pub atmosphere and good choice of ale hits the spot. 😀

Great meal and friendly staff

It was ok, but we were there mid management change. Which showed.
The big annoyance was that they don’t take Scottish money. So much for “in it together”. Would give it another try after new management has settled in

Scottish money is not welcomed

So is this pub under new management? If so well done.It is cleaner and although we have not tried the food again after recent disasters there looks to be a massive improvement in standards. No ridiculous loud rubbish music. Keep up good work and we may chance some food. Hopefully the chef turns up when we order

New management?

Well, where to begin! This overnight stay has to rate as the worst in many years. Room facilities very lacking. Not enough toilet paper.. don't even request more as the answer is no!! Toiletries in the room don't exist either. Breakfast has to rate as the most bizarre experience ever. You have to wait in the bar for the, 'chef' to arrive. He must be some random person who wanders in off the street, certainly looked as if he'd had a rough night! We had to ask if we were going to be given breakfast, no menu in fact not much to put on there. No cereal, no fruit, tbag in a dirty cup, burnt slice of white toast that resembled cardboard. Will we stay here again.. Never!

Dreadful experiene

When I sent a formal complaint to head office I received a quick reply & the complaint has been resolved with a full refund but I would have rather had an enjoyable stay at this hotel. So I just wanted to pre warn future guests.We had no hot water in the bathroom no one explained the complicated shower, with our first breakfast we were told there was no coffee, we had to ask for clean cups spoons & sugar. I asked for 2 poached eggs on toast it came up on one slice of dry toast I was not offered butter, on the second morning again dirty cups when the breakfast arrived the toast had mould on it when we tried to find the member of staff they were outside smoking. There was cobwebs all around the ceiling to.
