   This was a very happy accident! Booked last minute for a large group of colleagues, we were seated in the private dining room with stunning views of The Globe, St Pauls and the Thames. Food was excellent and our waiter was also outstanding. Would highly recommend!

   I have eaten at the swan many times and have always found it fantastic. However, on my recent visit it was very poor. At first we had to wait for our table which I have no issue with. Yet, the receptionist quite rudely told us you’re too early come back later. I would have preferred an offer to sit at the bar. So I asked could we and got a curt reply of fine. No one came to get us when our table was ready and I had to ask twice. When we did get to our table after requesting a window table to our booking coinciding with a birthday. We were sat a fantastic table set for two when we two minutes later we were asked to move as the table was needed for a booking of four. We were then placed in a dark corner away from the window. The booking for four did not appear during our visit. The service was poor. With all the staff that was on the floor, it took three attempts to ask for dessert menu until we gave up and left. I’ve known staff to be very attentive on previous visits but we were very much left in our dark corner. The food was fine. Just about warm. Very disappointed from a regular diner.

   I had booked a table for 8 for 4.30 We arrived a little early (after the play had finished) but our table was not ready until 4.45 We ordered 5 Gentleman’s teas and 3 classic teas. The Gentlemen’s teas arrived promptly but the classic teas did not come until 15 minutes later. The staff did apologise & They knocked the service off our bill. The food was delicious and beautifully presented

   Our afternoon tea experience was very nice. However the staff had not checked the notes I sent when I booked, where I’d let them know we were celebrating a birthday and that we had a vegetarian in the group. I was a bit disappointed by this. The food could have been fresher - some of the sandwiches were soggy and the biscuits soft. The variety was excellent and the gentleman’s tea especially good. I would return to try another menu. The setting is stunning and I think that is the main draw.

    We had a great lunch out today with a group of 10 people and our server - Jacob - was amazing and couldn't do enough for us.; he was the right side of attentive without being intrusive, and so so patient when we took an age to sort out the bill (thank you!). Thank you also to Nadia who took care of one of our party who was ill - very patient & kind. The food was nice - one of our party didn't think she had blue cheese on a burger special, but it was all very enjoyable and to a good standard. It was very buzzy in the bar, so sometimes we struggled to hear each other, but we went with the flow and we'll definitely come back again. Thanks everyone - especially Jacob - for making our girls reunion a smashing success.
