    Seated in area looking out onto river. Service just right; not hurried and certainly not slow. Good and varied choice of menu and wine list. What more could you ask for?

    Having not been in to The Swan since my school days (with parents) I was very pleased, as was my daughter and my friends who joined us. Point of interest: Jimmy Page lived two doors up stream 1962 to 1967. It must have been good to listen to rehearsals (in 1967 especially) whilst enjoying a beer by the river.

    I don’t think we’ve been to a restaurant with such attentive and happy staff in a long long time. The Swan was packed when we arrived, always a good sign, but often means you’re waiting for service. Not here, tbh I was trying to pay for parking at the train station on my phone and couldn’t cos we had so much attention drinks orders, discussing specials, fussing over the dog… . Thanks to our server, and all the others who came to say hello. Don’t know who the manager/owner is at the Swan but with that many happy staff they are clearly doing a great job. -

    I recently dined at The Swan and had a wonderful experience, thanks to the exceptional service provided. They were attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Their recommendations were spot on, and they made us feel truly welcome. The food was also delicious, and the overall atmosphere was great. I just wanted to take a moment to appreciate the great service, as it really made our visit special. Thank you, and I look forward to dining here again soon!
