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.

Good points:
1)Dining Area is a MUST if you are looking to impress your guests.
2) Very friendly staff.
3) If you are able to make it for the 12pm sit down you get 2 course meal for £15

Not so good points:
1) Hilariously expensive- £69 for a 2 course LUNCH (obviously i didnt know about the 12pm sit down offer till AFTER I had been!)!! This included 2 bottles of water £7 and 2 bottles of Tiger Beer £6.40ish)!!

2) Staff are a bit pushy with the add ons (we declined the first offer of bread and 5 mins later another waitress came along and placed to slices on our side plates without asking!!) EXPECT TO SEE THOSE ON THE BILL!

To sum up- it is nice pub to visit, but an excellent place to go if someone else is paying!!

Hired whole pub for a party of 120 guests and everyone had a really great time. Excellent food, drink, and professional friendly staff. Thoroughly recommend this venue.

I went to The White Swan last week for the first time for a friends leaving drinks. I never knew it was there off High Holborn so close to the tube, but the place was heaving with a really friendly relaxed atmosphere and fast bar service especially considering how busy they were. Some friends ordering bar food and it looked amazing.. I will definately we trying the dining room upstairs next time. Highly recommend!

The White Swan is fabulous. I had my wedding reception there a few weeks ago. I had an amazing time. I never thought of having my celebration at a pub before but the restaurant and pub together is like two venues in one. Thank you to The White Swan!

We always go to The White Swan for our office meetings, telling the boss it's because of the light in there, it's conducive to working. It's far more to do with the White Swan's lovely food and beer!
