    Great staff but small portions even for a small person like me. Food was well cooked so would return when I’m not quite so famished.

    Excellent friendly service, food was perfect! just needs a better carpark situation, small and risk damage due to small spaces and inconciderate drivers parking by the exit/entrance

    Hi Lorraine, Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us this review. It is lovely to hear you and your party enjoyed your visit! About our carpark, unfortunately is not much we can do about as our build is a listed building. But for future reference, there is some other carparks near by in the Pangbourne station and at Pangbourne village hall, both less than 5 minutes from us. We hope to see you again soon. Best Wishes Team Swan

    Our meal was very tasty and there were lots of exciting and traditional dishes to choose from for both starters and mains. There was quite a long delay for our food to arrive at first but the staff apologised and compensated us. The food which did arrive was fresh and incredibly good. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The restaurant was very busy when we arrived due to the lovely weather and live music event.
