Swan Inn Amersham in Chiltern

Brilliant service and lovely food

Food relatively ok, but toilets old and not very clean. General cleanliness could definitely be improved. Very cold, raised it with the staff but they weren't able to address it. Good service. Overall not up to the price paid, I don't think we'd be coming back.

I spent New Year's Eve there, the DJ was definitely phlegmatic, but even the staff could get the party going.

Enjoyed a delightful dinner at the Swan for New Year's Eve. Sally was a brilliant and looked after us throughout. Catered for a gluten-free diner seamlessly and all food consumed was delicious. Would come back again!

Spent New Years Eve here. Excellent service from Sally, good food and atmosphere, reasonably priced.

We were severed today by Sally, she was brilliant and so was the food, my personal favourite was the scallops!

Went to The Swan for dinner with family, the food was amazing alongside a welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff, charlie was amazing

The pub had a strong odor of urine upon our arrival. The restrooms were quite filthy. It was the Monday between Christmas and New Year, and the place wasn't very crowded. Although the staff was working hard under pressure to provide service, they completely overlooked cleaning the restrooms. The scent of urine was quite noticeable in the establishment.

Pretty cracking pub! The drinks were cold and fresh, and the Christmas wreath was delicious!

Excellent service, staff friendly and very attentive. Food was excellent. Can’t wait to visit again!!

We had a great time and lovely service from Sally

Fantastic food and very friendly staff

Excellent roast dinner - one of the best. Staff were professional and efficient. Cosy and historic old pub with open fires - just lovely!

Lovely family lunch at the Swan. Great food and excellent service from Sally and the Team.

I booked christmas 🎄 dinner from the 4 course menu. I booked well in advance and was looking forward to our visit as I spent a lot of money to eat out on the day. On arrival the pub looked lovely but unfortunately, our table was not ready so waited for half an hour while a table was cleaned. We did not receive our rustic breads as mentioned on the Christmas menu and waited a very long time in between courses as it was very busy. Was quite hard to get anyone's attention as they were rushing around. I was quite disappointed with my visit and when my turkey dinner arrived i did not have nice carved slices but small pieces piled on top of my veg etc. For the money spend on eating out I felt it was not as good as it should have been. Quite a lot of money spent but the overall experience was less than perfect which I had expected .

I was not provided with the aperitif I had ordered and paid yin advance. The wine I had ordered was still not delivered when our main course was served and only appeared after I asked for it. The food, though edible, was not meriting the price charged. Overall, not a good experience and I feel financially cheated.

Thank you Sally for fab service. A lovely Christmas Eve dinner with family.

Amazing Christmas Eve dinner at the Swan, lovely service from Sally and perfect start to our festive celebrations.

Lovely service, Sally very attentive and great with families. Enjoyable food and pleasant atmosphere xx

Really great lunch, good service, lovely food

Lovely waitress Sally ensured we could keep to our time line and enjoy the delicious food.

Outstanding place. Staff are class and the prices are very reasonable. Will always come back.

Lovely food and restaurant has great service.

Sally was brilliant and made me smile ☺️

A good place for our lunch yesterday. Seems popular. The atmosphere was good. This was spoiled by the state of the toilets. They need a darn good revamp. The dryer didn't work. There were no hand towels and the decor was falling apart. Shame.

Sally was excellent. She organised our large group very well. Thank you for a great time!

Sally was very welcoming and a fantastic host

Attended a Christmas dinner with some friends and the food was fantastic. Sally provided excellent service for our large table and we even had a little private area! Definitely happy to come back.

Lovely Sunday roast served by Sally!

Pleasant pub, short wait for a table on a Sunday afternoon. Staff a little harrased at first, but got better as the lunchtime crowd started leaving.

Great food, good selection and allowed to enjoy the atmosphere

We had a great meal here last night. 4 adults and three kids (6,4&3). Adults had the three course festive menu and the food was delicious. Every course. Kids meals were big portions. The service was very good considering how busy they were. Will revisit!

Great food and service. May be more vegan/dairy free choice. I would recommend it.

Great place to visit for lunch or Christmas meal.

Marvellous experience - great food, company, service (especially Sally!) and environment!

Lovely waitress, Sally, really looked after us. A very enjoyable evening and great food.

A lovely place to visit and eat although the vegetarian options were extremely limited, so was disappointed with the lack of options. What I did have, the risotto, was well done and tasty.

Our first time here since moving to the area two years ago. Arrived for Sunday lunch on 1 December without a booking but Emma and Jason the managers gave us a welcome as warm as the log fire. The food and wine were all wonderful and we can’t wait to return to sample more from the menu. My only gripe (and the missing 5th star) is that the part time youth need some hospitality training: the two we encountered couldn’t raise a smile and it felt like one was doing us a favour just bringing us our food. She disappeared without leaving any cutlery and after politely trying to get her attention I gave up and went to find it myself. Despite that, we’ll definitely return to the Swan because this was the best pub restaurant experience we’ve had so far in Buckinghamshire. Thank you 😊 !

£7.60 for a pint of beer and £3.80 for a kids apple juice. What? This is a rural pub, not a swanky central London bar.

Very nice pub! Lovely atmosphere, great friendly staff and the food was amazing! Will definitely be coming back.

Lovely atmospheric place for drinks and a meal. Great friendly service and excellent food prepared to order. Looking forward to a return visit soon.

Very attentive and nice staff. Food was delicious and good portions. Everything was fresh. Facility has good access to main road.

Good place for a family catch up

Great service from Sally. Lovely food. Will be back

Friendly and helpful staff. Good food and atmosphere. Enjoyed the lunch with different options.

We had an enjoyable lunch with good food.

A lovely well served meal. The only issue is the noise level, which is intense. The menu is lengthy and varied and the wine list is similarly interesting.

Fantastic food - super quality and tasted great, with generous portions for the price. Lovely service from Sally!

Great staff and service! Highly recommend this place.

We were served by Charlie and from start to finish, were very well looked after indeed. Food was excellent and service was expectional!

We went to the Swan Inn for a Pub Quiz Event and found the staff welcoming, the food delicious and the quiz just loads of fun. Would recommend this place to anyone who likes food, quizes or just great vibes!

Very nice pub that offered a good selection of food at reasonable prices and excellent service.

Had Beef roast, which was nice but roast potatoes were very small.

Had roast beef and cauliflower cheese. Beef was tough, potatoes dry and hard. Should have sent back cauliflower cheese as there was no cheese. Slow service. Sorry won't be going back.

The steak was delicious and sally was lovely

Great atmosphere lovely people and food

Food goog Service great. Will come again.

I like Old Amersham, all sane people do, and its hostelries add greatly to its charm. So, allowing for a lazy day and a charming lady companion also free to do nothing else, and lunch in the Swan Inn made a lot of sense. Stacks of ancient beams and well-kept beer always do it for me, but a set menu 2 course lunch for £18.95 closed the deal. If you pop by, try pretty much anything on the menu. Accompanying details of the calories involved might not suit the 'Just one leaf of rocket, please' brigade, but that's their problem. Even my slightly-built companion decided her perennial diet could take a break! In short, take the tube to Amersham, face the drive west from London, just do it!

Always an amazing choice while in Amersham. Lovely food, service and atmosphere at the restaurant! A must go if you’re around.

Had a fab meal here. Sally was amazing at accommodating our big rabble of dogs and children despite us having made the booking in completely the wrong part of the pub with the wrong amount of people!! Very quick service and delicious food

We came to the Swan for a family birthday dinner and had a lovely time. Prompt and polite service (by Sally), lovely ambience and delicious food (and easy parking!) made for a wonderful evening. Will definitely come back!

Excellent food and service. Thank you Sally

Dinner was great! The steak pie was nicee! Esp for mash potato lovers. Service was very warm and polite ☺️

Food was fantastic (we had a roast). Lots of it - fresh, beautifully cooked and really tasty. Homemade yorkies!!!! Lovely welcoming atmosphere - really relaxed and fabulous service from Ben. Dogs were made to feel very welcome too! We’ll definitely be back!

Excellent ambience and service ❤️❤️

Great staff and lovely open fire place

After performing at the Beach Boy Stomp, where the Venue had no food, we found the Swan Inn staff who allowed us to order substance minutes before closing. Sophie and staff We’re non-selfish are Lifesavers! Cheers and thank you.

A little disappointed everything on the menu wasn't available

Lovely meal, got a birthday card on the table as they knew we were there for my mums birthday - such a nice touch! Thanks Sally and the team at the swan! Cracking margaritas aswell!

Lovely food and super staff, very nice evening

Wonderful food and service by Sally and Co. Thank you so much

Sally our waitress was friendly knowledgeable and efficient. Very impressed with everything.

Sally was lovely! Served 26 without a hitch!

Fantastic team in tonight for a 60th birthday . Party of 27 people and no a single fault. Sally was a fantastic host, nothing too much trouble and very attentive. Hats off the whole team!

Sally, our server, had great customer service and was very responsive and made it a lovely evening for everybody

Quiet enough to talk. Food good enough to enjoy the relaxed service. A good option for great quality gastropub good and drink.

Lovely food, and great service!

Sally is the best waitress in bucks!!!

Delicious sticky chicken and great service from the lovely Sally! The Swan has a nice relaxed atmosphere and a great place to catch up with friends.

Visited the night before my sister in laws wedding, with her bridal party. We had a lovely evening, Charlie recommended some delicious dishes, service wasn't intrusive and well timed. We were there a long time and weren't pushed to leave before we were ready. Nice and full bellys before a wonderful Wedding day

I went to this lovely establishment yesterday for a meal and I had the most amazing time, the staff were second to none the waitress looking after our table I think her name was Charlie could not have been more helpful and had good knowledge of the food containing allergies and the house wines, nothing was to much trouble for her, the food came out piping hot and in good time, will definitely recommend and will be back to try a Sunday roast, thank you for all at the swan for a wonderful evening

Had a lovely experience in this quaintly old country pub, from the moment we walked in we had excellent service from the waitress Charlie looking after us she was very friendly, attentive and nothing was to much trouble, the food was delicious and hot, all in all a very good experience, we will be back.

I recently went to the swan in after a short afternoon walk round Amersham. This was the perfect ending to a brilliant walk, the service was quick and efficient especially lola who was very attentive and strives to make my stay a special one . I look forward to my next trip at the swan.

Lovely place and amazing atmosphere

Just had the most appalling service here for sunday roast. Took them 25minutes to ask if we wanted a drink after being seated, to have a two course meal it took them nearly 3 hours and we had to get up in the end to ask for and pay the bill! Waitress spilt a full tray of drinks and coffee over my suede shoes and stood next to the table swearing while she was clearing it up it took them a further ten minutes to bring me a cloth to wipe the drinks off my shoes and legs, two of the desserts werent as described, in the end we asked for the manager told her all of what happend and all she removed from the bill was the two desserts and it took her nearly 15 minutes to adjust the bill and didnt even bring it herself to say what discount had been given for there appaling waiting! No one in there seemed to care at all! Utterly appaling service from start to finish great shame as the roasts were absolutely delicious, if a bit more had been taken off of the bill for the terrible experience and my ruined shoes we might have given it another try but we will certainly never be back!! Other tables round us where having the same experience!

Didn't have a meal just drinks. However lovely bar staff ( Sally) so friendly and helpful with our cocktail choices. Great customer service. Thank you

Good food and great service from Sally

Lovely meal great service from Sally & Co - thank you

Very good food and excellent service from Sally

Sally was great, service and food was simply wonderful. Thanks for the lovely visit.

Sat in the bar, very comfy. Sunday roast was out of this world. Home made yorkies aswell. Kids very happy played out in the big secret garden after their pudding. Very busy but we were served quickly. We will definitely be back.

We choose the wine and dine offer - plenty of choice. Sally our server was particularly diligent to cater for my nut allergy. Super friendly.

Sally was great, really friendly and attentive despite there being a large party upstairs!

Had a lovely meal with great service from Sally. Nice and relaxed atmosphere.

Really enjoyed my chipotle chicken starter and another person ordered the cheese donuts and raved about these too!

Nice people and a great meal and beer. The chicken mozzarella sandwich was superb.

We came for a family celebration of an 80th birthday back in February 2024 there was 12 adults and 6 children, the bill was almost £900, we was made to pay for people that didn’t arrive x 2 , we was put upstairs out of the way because we had children with us , the food was basic and We want you to know that we all compare this experience as the worst we have ever had , we would have preferred to get fish and chips from a takeaway, You charge Michelin star prices for pub grub and a poor atmosphere

We celebrated my parents' 50th wedding anniversary... A table of 12! Our waitress Sally was amazing! Fun and welcoming and a great host for the evening. The food was incredible too . The bar has a huge selection of beers and drinks

A really lovely pub & restaurant - lots of tables inside and out nice bar area with seating upstairs and down - food was amazing - plenty of good ales and wine too - will definitely go again soon 🍻🍷🥗🍱😊😊

Food was lovely. Credit to the chefs. It was a shame about the service. The restaurant was so quiet - With 4 tables, and still waiting 10-15 minutes for a drink. Had to go up to the bar and order our own. Could be a great place if they improved on service and customer care. They turned away a table of 5 of walk ins even though it is super quiet. I imagine they couldn’t be arsed. Poor for a Sunday and a bank holiday!
