About White Swan
traditional, 17th-century pub with fireplace, stripped floors, veranda and riverside beer garden.
A Grade II-listed building and award-winning traditional pub was built around 1690. Entry is via steps leading up to the first floor where the bar has real fires and walls covered with rugby and other memorabilia. A small veranda/balcony, and a triclinium (three-sided room with window seats) afford views of the river and Eel Pie Island. Directly opposite there is a larger beer garden (Sometimes, at high tide, the garden is IN the river!), right on the water's edge. Quiz night every Wednesday from September to April at 8pm.

An excellent Sunday lunch at The White Swan. Not that many tables, so we'd reserved for 3x in advance, but just a few days before. The weekend before Christnas, so we were pleased to be fitted in. A lovely table right by the bar, immediately friendly service, a drink for me, whilst waiting for the rest of the party. The Sunday roasts were excellent, great pudding as well. Highly recommended ...

Great venue and, if you sit outside, great views of the Thames. Ordered a selection of starters to share and whilst the staff couldn’t have been more helpful, the food arrived too quickly to have been cooked from fresh. Having said that, the hummus and mustard/honey sausages were delicious whilst the chicken wings were too messy without something too wipe your fingers with.

How can you not love a pub that is daily threatened by flooding from the Thames and has a dog regular under the bar to greet you?
