I had only been to the swan once before shortly after it opened and I really enjoyed the food so my other half, my mum and I went for my early birthday celebrations. It was uncomfortably hot in the restaurant and we were squished into a corner which didn't help. We all had crab claws to start with which were perfection but we only got 3 each, the portion was really small even for a starter would of liked double that. For main my partner and I had monkfish wrapped in pancetta with thai curry and rice and my mum had lobster. Again, tasted lovely but my partner and I agreed the portion size was small. My mum's was portioned fine, we ended up stealing some of her chips as she doesn't eat a lot h...

Shame to write this as I’m sure the food is alright, but I went into the ‘takeaway’ part of the restaurant and received probably the worst customer service I have ever experienced by two older women who talked down to me (a teenage girl) when I asked what the best measurements would be for some crab meat I was after, but wouldn’t help me, and said things such as ‘ you should work it out for yourself’. When saying I came on behalf of my dad (a regular- therefore I wasn’t completely familiar with all the measurements conversions for what he wanted) they said ‘well tell him he should know better and make it clearer’ so I got very flustered and ended up paying way more than I needed too, which t...

Just back from a superb lunch at the White Swan we had scallops along with moules for starters (herby focaccia bread as an accompaniment to the latter is a brilliant idea), then hake wrapped in pancetta, alongside skate wing with lemon and caper butter. Everything was fantastically fresh and well presented, our chosen wine (Gavi) went really well with it all, and the service, atmosphere and surroundings were very welcoming and enjoyable. Congrats to chef Tom and his team we had liked the look of the restaurant on driving past, and this first visit exceeded our expectations. The White Swan deserves every success.

First time not the last here. A lovely, clean restaurant with tasteful decor. Fish chips were perfect. A light crispy batter chunky chips. Not at all greasy. A very generous portion. Two of our party requested plain grilled fish even though not on the menu, nothing was too much trouble. The chef came asked us if everything was OK with our meals (a sign of a good restaurant). Looking forward to returning trying the evening menu. On our way out three of our 5 party bought mussels, brown shrimp, prawns, cockles crayfish. Book a table now

We have been to this restaurant, and the wet fish shop, ever since it opened. It has had its ups and downs with staffing problems, but the food has always been first class. We went today, and sampled the expertise of the new young head chef. And what a wonderful lunch it was! Scallop starter that could not be bettered in a top London restaurant. Amazing skate main, and terrific moules. Also bought a load of fish for the freezer from the wonderful fish shop. What a successful trip! Thank you.

When you enter the Swan it hits you how clean and shiny the place is. The staff are welcoming friendly and helpful. The sea food we had was really fresh well cooked and fairly priced. The restaurant has a fishmongers at the front with a great selection of seafood. Enjoyed the whole experience.

Lovely food really enjoying it until I found a really long hair in it the meal was taken away and when the waitress returned she told me it wasn’t a hair but a thread I don’t think so found another long red hair on the table won’t go again
