About Swan

Airy pub with stripped floors, mismatched tables and grassy, riverside beer garden.

Fully refurbished in November 2015. A large airy open plan riverside pub with extensive, multi-layered garden overlooking the water. There is a variety of areas inside, with food trade to the fore, but not to the exclusion of drinkers. The pub is said to date from 1770 and is named after the “Swan-upping” ceremony, the annual census of swans on the River Thames held every July. American songwriter Jerome Kern was once resident here. Guest beers can be from a local brewer.

    Fabulous location next to Thames at Walton. Plenty of seating inside and out. Usual pub grub on menu. Spotted something different: crab and prawn tagliatelle arrabiatta which I chose. It was an interesting dish, unfortunately there was very little crab, still it was a worthy effort at something out of the run of the mill. The guy who had the soup was very happy. The guy who had cumberland sausage complained that they contained too much bread. I can't verify. Very pleasant garden area, helpful staff. Recommended for lunch with or without children.

    Food was excellent quality. We enjoyed the flavours thoroughly. The portion size of the starters (burrata, fregola&pomegrante salad and a crispy squid with pesto mayo) was a little small, but the main (muscles) was a good size and very tasty. Service was good - definitely with a smile - but we felt we had to ask for a lot of things (to order, for the bill twice, spoons, water for the table), rather than service being instinctive. We would definitely recommend this place.

    Really nice gastro pub by the riverside. The food us good the service is spot on and the pub itself is modern classic. So what more of an excuse do you need to pop down for a family Sunday lunch. Oh and it's right next to the river - with a garden that overlooks the swans, ducks and geese floating by. Just remember to book ahead if you go at a busy time of day/week.

    £20 for a roast dinner that we couldn't cut the beef on, we left hungry. There really wasn't enough food to justify a £20 spend, 1/4 of a carrot, a dessert spoon of mash, a dessert spoon of leafy greens and peas mix and 3 roast potatoes. Lovely Yorkshire but that's not so filling, and 3 small slices of beef that we couldn't cut. The food was also cold, and we didn't get table water as promised or checked up on during our meal. It's a shame because the setting and atmosphere is lovely on. I have a photo but I'm not sure how to add it.

    Couldn't fault anything about our Friday lunch experience, Bill was also very attentive! Fish, chips and garden peas were delicious, with the added bonus of curry sauce. Husband had the beef burger and said it was excellent.. We will definitely be returning.
