Lovely dinner and great service. Only reasons for 3 star review is that firstly, a 12.5% tip is automatically added.. I like to decide what tip I feel is deserved, not have it decided for me! And secondly, the menu (Valentines menu) was incredibly basic which was a shame. I wouldn’t return simply due to the tip issue, I find that shocking.
The Black Swan OckhamResponded on February 16, 2025
Hi Christy, Please understand that on the bottom of all our menus that it is stated that a discretionary service charge is added to all bills that receive table service. If this would have been an issue we would have more than happily removed this for you on the day as it is down to the discretion of the customer whether they wish to pay this. We do hope however you received the great service we strive for. Kind regards The Black Swan

We came to the Black Swan having passed it by, many times whilst travelling to a favourite dog walking area. We kept saying we must go there for a meal some time. Well today we did, and will definitely be returning. The service was excellent as was the meal, we had a Valentine Special, haunch of venison.
The Black Swan OckhamResponded on February 16, 2025
Thank you for the lovely review David! It was a pleasure to serve you both and the canine friends. Kind Regards The Black Swan

Good menu, superb service. The Camembert was deliciously runny. The chicken Kiev was high in calories but tasty.
