We have just had our engagement party at the White Swan and have to say that everything was very well organised and efficient in the run up to and on the night of the party. Everyone really enjoyed themselves and a lot of people commented on what a great venue the White Swan was. The party platters we ordered were excellent and came out when we had said we wanted them to. We took our own i-pods and plugged them into their sound system which was a great idea!

I would definitely recommend this venue for any sort of party.

What a wonderfully sophisticated, yet comfortable pub/restaurant! I was taken here for a 'business lunch' (aka boozy) by a business partner, and we were looked after superbly. The food was of the highest quality and cooked to perfection, and of course the wines too. Very, very highly recommended.

This is nice little hidden away pub in the city.

Really warm and friendly place. Fantastic wine menu, and really great gastropub menu.

I frequent it quite often after work, and always have a great time.

Having had good lunches here in the past, I had a disappointing experience today. The food was not top notch neither was the service and yet the bill for 2 main courses, 1 chips, 1 glass wine, 2 espressos came to £46. We asked whether the sausages were free range - the waitress didn't know (they aren't), she forgot vinegar/lemon (for fish and chips/fishcakes), didn't ask how things were until we'd finished (the fish batter was underdone and rather unpleasant). The bill took ages and we were pretty shocked to see the coffees were £2.50 each, there was a £5 (12.5%) service charge and a random £1 charge for charity. We commented on the excessive charges, and were told "people pay it and keep coming back." Not me.

I've had my birthday party at the White Swan last weekend. The venue was just great as it was spacious and open till 3am! The staff were excellent at making amazing cocktails and they were very helpful throughout the night. Highly recomended for parties.

Great little pub tucked away in the city.
I have been for lunch downstairs in the main pub part many times with colleagues, quality food at reasonable prices in my book.
Was taken upstairs to the main dining room the other day which I also thoroughly enjoyed again quality food, reasonable prices and smart surroundings, I’ll be back.

The White Swan is a gem in the middle of a city area so full of average places. I have eaten in both the dining room (which was all I expected it to be if not more!) and the pub area. Traditional fish and chips is an absolute winner in the pub but if you're in the dining room give the pork belly a go. Whether you are in for a quick lunch or a leisurely business meeting the staff are eqully attentive and friendly! Great list of wines too.
