We had a Sunday roast. Nut roast and beef. Unfortunately the beef was very rare and tough. Everything else was lovely. We mentioned it and had some money off the bill so that was ok. Overall very good was just unlucky that today with the meat.

We had a family birthday dinner at The Swan, Whittington. Everyone really enjoyed their food and everything about this place. Steaks and burgers are especially delicious. We will certainly go back.

I visited The Swan last Friday for a special date night. While the food was above average (I'd rate it 4/5), the overall experience was let down by poor service — especially disappointing given the premium pricing and added service charge. We arrived around 7:40 PM after a long walk, looking forward to a relaxing dinner. Unfortunately, our starters didn’t arrive until about 9 PM, and no one offered any bread or nibbles while we waited, despite us clearly looking hungry and trying to get a staff member’s attention. The staff seemed overwhelmed and were mostly walking past us without engagement. When we finished our main courses and asked for the dessert menu, we weren’t informed that the kitchen was closing. Shortly after, it became clear that staff were winding down, and no one seemed interested in taking our dessert order. We gave up dessert disappointedly, ended up just walking to the bar to pay, essentially brushed off without a proper end to our meal — not ideal for what was supposed to be a special evening dating with my special lady. The environment was pleasant and understandably busy, likely due to the nice weather, but that shouldn't be an excuse for inattentive service. Overall, disappointing service overshadowed an otherwise enjoyable meal. I hope the management takes this feedback on board — with better service, this place could really shine.

We arrived and were informed that we only had the table for just over an hour, as it had been booked again for later — understandable, especially with it being Father’s Day, and normally we wouldn’t take that long anyway, so that was fine. Our drink order was taken quickly, even before we sat down, and our food order followed around 5–10 minutes later, which was also fine. However, we then ended up waiting over 45 minutes for the food to arrive, which was disappointing given the time limit we were under. Unfortunately, when the food did come, it was subpar at best — a noticeable drop in quality since my last visit about a year ago. That said, I want to highlight that the service we received was great and the staff were helpful and friendly throughout — the issue was solely with the long wait and the quality of the food, especially considering the limited time we had.

There were lots of flies where we were sitting and my toast came out a slice at a time already buttered with jam on, both slices were different sizes with a good 10 minutes between each slice it was very odd, the week before it was served as two slices of toast with the butter and jam to put on yourself. It was a weird experience.

Unfortunately on this visit our food was not great, my beef in my beef rice bowl was tough and not crispy as described but more soggy. The portuguese tart was small, just what you would get from a coffee shop with nothing else on plate not even any decoration or fruit - £3.50. Coffees were expensive. Staff were lovely, offered us a quieter table as a noisy crowd were near to our original table. Always liked The Swan but wouldn't rush back due to quality of food.
