The Swan Inn

"Gone down hill a lot. Most expensive carvery I've been too and also the worst. The majority of the food had no taste. It was so bland. And also it's still not self service. Whole point of a carvery is helping yourself. It was very slow, only one woman serving the meat so the line was long and took a long time to move. They forgot the beans on my child's food. It was really disappointing."

"Food is disgusting! We had bangers and mash. Mash potatoes was from powder and badly mixed, horrible lumps everywhere and slushy. I never had such an awful mash in my life. Everything was in a bath of gravy. Better say it was gravy soup with powder mash. Very simple dish completely ruined"

"Very disappointed in the carvery last Sunday. While the meat was tasty the gravy was thin and Yorkshire pudding inedible, parsnips undercooked with rubbery non existent crackling. . The Swan was my go to for the best local Sunday roast but not any more. The catering staff may do excellent Thai food but don’t quite understand what is required in a proper Sunday roast."

"Stayed here for 3 nights due to a conference in the neighbourhood. Room was clean and the bathroom was great. The first night it was the weekly returning quiz night, and we were delighted to join. We enjoyed it really and did not even end up in last place. The food is good, especcially the curry and the fried duck. Staff was helpful and friendly. Only the breakfast could be better. 4/5 stars. Definitely will come back once I need to be there again. Thanks!"

"It's been a quite a while since visiting this lovely pub near the Thames. Unfortunately, I won't be in a hurry to go back. The service was truly awful. Whatever the problem, the first person behind the bar was cantankerous and was in a hurry to end her shift. The next person obviously had a few personal issues and was hardly a picture of happiness. Overall the service was so slow I could've popped over to the Castle over the road had a pint and would still have been waiting to be served. I give it two stars because the Thai food we had was nice, served quickly by a nice lady. The night was a reunion of sorts. Sadly won't go back for another long while, if ever again."
