The Swan - Kingholm Quay

Unparalleled. did not expect this amazing quality of food and service. my hotel nearby was understaffed the day i came here and they were only serving fast food options. i did not fancy this so i wanted to take a walk. the centre of dumfries was a 10 minute walk in one direction, and the swan was a 10 minute walk in the opposite direction. yes, there would of been more options in town, but the location of this little restaurant being on a backroad (there is plenty of space to park also) and next to the river peaked my interested in a nice evening stroll. i do hope the pictures i have added speak for themselves as i was presented with a starter and main course that could of filled multiple mouths, i was amazed, and extremely happy as i hadn't eaten all day. i ordered the battered king prawns for the starter and then the sea food linguine for my main. with a pint of pepsi to go with it the bill was less than £25. i would of happily paid more for quality of it. tips to the staff also as they were lovely, caring and chatty! couldn't recommend this place more.

The atmosphere is quiet and clean. the staff are friendly and courteous.. good menu selection. there were no long waits for food. food was well presented and enjoyable. pricing was reasonable for a meal out. seems the business is about to change as a "for lease sign" was attached to the building.. a convenient private car park is opposite.

A fantastic afternoon here at the swan in kingholm quay, dumfriesshire scotland. my wife and i stopped here to visit with friends and enjoy a late lunch. our food was outstanding with excellent service provided. loads to choose from on their menu, portions were very generous and worth price paid. nice atmosphere with indoor and outdoor dining. it's definitely a quality place to stop and have a drink or two enjoying the scenic views around. i highly recommend this place and will be back someday.

Food was amazing staff amazing i recommend the swan lovely food lovely place not been before booked just incase arrived at 12 00 glad i booked very popular the sunday lunch was amazing

A familiar location the swan, under new management, is alive and kicking. it's good to see the swan at the top of it's game again. i went there for a family meal (two adults and two young children) and was blown away by the whole experience. the atmosphere, the food, the service. all brilliant. we were greeted with a warm smile and shown to an ideal table ‐ space for the kids to stretch out. we felt like we had our own vip section. the food was gorgeous and substantial. the server advised on the pudding and it did not disappoint. the portions are very generous so make sure you don't snack before you visit. we will definitely be returning for round two (three and four)
