We were at the Swan last night and felt like we were at home in the living room from the start. Great atmosphere, Andy did a great job (thx Andy 🤟) and we were full too. Lovely evening in a great atmosphere...

£4.40 for half a pint of coke is extortion, I can’t even comprehend that pricing which is more expensive than their cheapest pint.

Our favourite pub in the area. Has a great cask selection, food is Greene King menu but always seems to be cooked a bit better and the staff is amazing. Basil (staff) in particular is fab.

The fish and chips are huge But it wasn't too oily and it was delicious. The stew pie was also good.

Slow service, soggy fish and chips, raisins in the sticky toffee pudding. Subpar food overall. Can't tell about drinks though.

We were served by Andy and he was great! He provided excellent service. He gave us a sample to taste before choosing our cider. He gave us great tips on what to eat and drink and was very pleasant and helpful all around. We enjoyed it so much that we went back the next night and were so happy he was there again. :)

The best lunch we had in London. The place is beautiful, the service excellent and the food 5 stars! We ordered a beef and ale pie and a bbq chicken. A dish more abundant and richer than the other. Next time I'm in London I'll happily return to Swan!

The hidden gem of Holbrook. Found this on our last day in Europe/UK Stopped by The Swan for a nice lunch. Cosy, British pub vibes with a decent menu with plenty of different options. We saw the size of the fish n chips and decided to share it. It was a generous serving with massive fish, good handful of chips and peas. We were politely convinced to get dessert as well and we are very glad it was suggested. We got a sticky toffee pudding with custard and it was perfect for a very cold winters day. The highlight was the service. All smiles, polite, very accommodating to all of our needs. Jerome was a stand out for this. Approachable, friendly and held a decent conversation with us just because he could. His service matched the environment, warm and friendly. The Swan is the perfect example of a classic British pub experience.

Your typical English Pub. Down the alley and there it is. Classic feel, as soon as you enter. Welcoming staff and great atmosphere. Ordered the fish and chips with mashy peas. Honestly the best ever. Returned two days later and had the steak and Ale pie. Truly, the richest favour of a meat pie, that I have ever had. Cold drinks and warm surrounds. Jerome, was a great host and the kitchen staff deserve a huge thank you from this Canadian.

After visiting the British Museum, it was raining so we had lunch at a nearby pub. The atmosphere is very good, just like a British pub! The staff was also very kind, and since it was lunch time, they came to take my order and made me want to come back again. Lunch was just a hamburger and a little bit, but it was very delicious.

Popped in on speck after visiting The British Museum. 10 minutes away from the crowded local places. A true Victorian setting. Totally atmospheric. Locals greet each other, the bar staff are welcoming and service is great. Prompt and with a smile from Jerome today. We chose the three plate snack option. Crisp coated turkey croquettes, heavy with meat, on a sweet and sour sauce. Pitta bread with peppers, and a delicious pot of hummus topped with Brussels spout topping, and light as air cod goujons with lemon and dip. £17 The bar is packed with fascinating beers and drinks, a fresh coffee machine, low noise, good lighting. Much bigger menu available. Only point is that the Ladies access is off the bar but the Men’s involves a winding descent to basement. Lots of seating. I would highly recommend. Outside tables on street which is a cute side road with fascinating shops. 15minutes from St Pancras station. Local area full of old London buildings. Go if you can.

We've visited Swan on our first visit to Bloomsbury and loved it, twice. 2 weeks later our return flight was canceled and we took the day to revisit bloomsbury and Swan, twice again. Many cask ales, clean toilets, quiet and friendly staff. 100% will visit again. Unique atmosphere and cool accommodations. Manager is so friendly. We love Swan. We bought pint glasses! P.S. ol' Rosie is delicious. Unfiltered means cloudy, not bad.

We came here for early afternoon drinks and had a decent time, however it was a shame that the two women serving us were in such an obvious rage at all the customers there. Having worked in the hospitality industry I can understand the stressors, however the pub was not that busy as we had mutterings of ‘Jesus Chris’ and ‘can you please wait!’ When we tried to order drinks.In the end we just left and went somewhere else as their was such a hostile vibe. Good food however !
