Swan London

Loved it. Will go back. Fish and chips. Fish was absolutely delicious. Haddock; creamy, white and flaked when cut. The best fish I have had in a long time. Served wirh mushey peas. I would of liked to have had a salad with mine. Salads are served as main not as a side. Choclate truffles were delicious.

It is a modern British restaurant in Bankside. With amazing view to river Thames. I would recommend for special occasion or nice dinner date or lovely cach up with a friends as they have big tables too. We have booked a table in advance as it was a weekend and also lovely weather outside. I would recommend to do so too. Every single course we did enjoyed. Prices really reasonable and very good quality ( I would compare like A La Carte ). We had 3 course meal from Summer River View Menu. Before we ordered we had a complimentary very fresh and tasty Sourdough almond side with salted butter and Marmite butter. For starters we had Gazpacho , Cantaloupe Melon Carppacio, for the main Slow-Cooked Neck OF Welsh Lamb and catch of the day. And finally for dessert cheese selection for 2 people. Lovely selection of champagnes and Non alcoholic cocktails. We will back here for sure

Dined here with my teenage son as a walk-in on a Wednesday in August between our tour of the Globe and watching Macbeth. It was busy when we arrived so we could only be offered a sharing table or (slightly uncomfortable, as they were low down) sofa seats initially but we were pleased they were able to accommodate a walk-in at a busy time. A couple left shortly after we arrived so we moved promptly to sit at a table for our meal. We made staff aware we had an hour to dine before the show, so they took our orders promptly and the food took no longer than 15 minutes to arrive. Everything ran perfectly, staff were very pleasant and polite and the food was delicious. Prices were in line with expectations for the location and reasonable given the generous portion sizes. Overall a great experience in the middle of our great day out!

While it may not have been the absolute best afternoon tea I've experienced, I must admit, it offered fantastic value for money! What truly impressed me about the Swan's tea room, unlike many "restaurants with a view," was that regardless of where you sit among the cozy 10 tables, you are guaranteed a picturesque view of St. Paul's and the river. The selection of savory finger sandwiches was quite standard, but there were two delightful twists. First, they served a delicious Waldorf salad tartalette instead of the typical cucumber sandwich. Second, and pleasantly surprising, they proactively offered refills of sandwiches without us even asking. This considerate gesture was much appreciated, especially since we arrived quite hungry. Moving on to the scones, they were simply good – not served in a towel or brought out after finishing the sandwiches, but still enjoyable. The best part was the generous refill of clotted cream, enhancing the overall experience. Now, the sweet treats, which are often the highlight of any afternoon tea, were indeed the strongest aspect here. The assortment of desserts was delightful, and each one left a lasting impression. Considering everything offered and the prime location in central London, the price of approximately 90GBP for two, including service, is simply unbeatable. While it may not have been the absolute pinnacle of afternoon teas, it still stands as an outstanding choice, and I would gladly return for another delightful experience at the Swan.
