The Black Swan in Elmbridge

Tasty food & great portions. I found the menu limited in terms of choice but my meal I did have was enjoyable. Great service and lovely friendly staff and atmosphere. I felt very comfortable eating alone.

Excellent food , exceptional service , a real treat, would highly recommend

Another fabulous afternoon spent at The Black Swan Super delicious Roast and exceptional service by the friendly attentive staff!! Thank you Barbara we had a wonderful time x

Barbie was amazing, really informative and helpful waitress. Beautiful food and atmosphere. The roast porchetta and chicken were amazing.

Always greeted with a smile. The Sunday roast was amazing, great portion size. During your visit you will most likely be greeted by the owner who is wonderful, wanting to see if everything is ok & if we needed anything. The Sticky toffee pudding was wow! Definitely recommend. We will be back. Tony

Food was delicious and Ellie was a brilliant attentive waitress

Please do more gluten free food

The food along with the atmosphere and decor was excellent. Chloe was our server and was very efficient and polite. Sandwiches are popular so make sure to come early enough before they sell out. Dog friendly as well!

such an amazing pub, delicious food and service is always fab ❤️❤️❤️

Wonderful staff - very friendly! I would definitely come here again.

Superb surroundings with excellent food and friendly Staff, lovely sitting outside in the summer, we always leave here very happy, we'll worth a visit

Have eaten here a few times and always found the food and staff amazing and so so helpful would fully recommend a visit

No lunch menu!!!! Poor service. Expensive. And not worth it

Beautiful food, beautiful surroundings, beautiful staff. We will be back!

Especially wonderful place, I'm glad to have found it, especially thank you Asta for the nice service. 💜 I will definitely fall here again and again

Visited The Black Swan for a Sunday roast on 12th Jan. After a slow start to the service, the gentleman at the front of house went over and above to ensure our visit was a fantastic one. So a special thanks to him! The food was lovely and the pub has a tasteful decor with a nice atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

Food was fantastic, reasonably priced, staff attentive, lovely atmosphere Would definitely recommend We will certainly visit again

We had a very nice lunch on Saturday, lovely place to come to eat and dine. The service was great and will definitely come back again. Merci.

Warm, impeccable service from outset. Unctuous duck rillette with pickles and sourdough followed by a double stacked cheeseburger. Old school plump patties rather than smashed. Juicy and full of beefy flavour, dripping with smooth melted cheese contrasting with crunchy bacon rashers. With so many great burger shops out there right now, expectations for a pub burger are fairly low. This was a banger! Very large property and wraparound terraces so took a while to fill out on a Thursday lunchtime and develop some atmosphere but nice buzz by the time I left.

Barbi was absolutely wonderful, the best service!!

We had such a lovely warm friendly welcome and service throughout. We only had a light lunch but will be back soon to indulge more fully.

Very good, very nice waiter and very good food

Had a wonderful family 'Twixtmas' meal with 12 of us on 29th December. We were in a large room off the main bar with a long table, which was perfect. Ewan our waiter was very attentive, friendly and on the ball, and we wouldn't have known it was his first time serving if he hadn't told us- well done Ewan dealing with so many people at once and holding your nerve! Food was delicious, some had roast, others fish(sadly no seabass, but the monkfish replacement was delicious), and one had a burger, all well cooked and served hot. Pudding were also delicious, tho' one comment was the custard was too thin. A very enjoyable meal and we will be back! Thanks Ewan and team.

Lovely New Year’s Eve lunch with great service from Steph x

Always a pleasant experience. In particular nice to see Asta. Food is delicious and service impeccable. Will definitelly come back!

Nice atmosphere and great service thanks to our waitress Asta. Will come back.

Christmas Day Food was very poor. Turkey and stuffing tasted stale and pigs in blankets anaemic.

Christmas dinner was awful, service was even worse.

Came here for Christmas dinner and was very impressed. Delicious food & excellent service. Highly recommend.

Excellent service and great tasting food as always!

Lovely Christmas Eve lunch. Thanks Steff!

Great local pub. Superb menu for food and wine and fantastic service.

Great service and incredible food!

Stopped here for dinner with my two kids before going to RHS Wisley Glow. Couldn't have been a more convenient location for pre (or post) walk fuelling. The service was attentive, and the food delicious. Kids portions are generous and a good size for anyone whose kids are on the cusp of needing an adult meal. We had a lovely time and wouldn't hesitate to book in again.

First time here, wonderful time, great for the family. Staff was spot on, Asta and Nathan should be valued to the black swan team very highly. Thank you.

Lovely food and friendly, attentive service.

Barbie and her team were fantastic with our group booking of 25. Thank you!

We had our staff Christmas meal at The Black Swan on Friday 13th December 2024 and it was brilliant. Everything from booking the reservation and putting in pre orders was made very easy by the helpful team! Our waiter Jude was brilliant and very attentive, everyone had a great night and we will certainly be returning in the future!

Stephanie was lovely. Thank you for a delicious Sunday roast.

Excellent service, especially as there were a lot of us. Special thanks to Barbie as front of house, and the service team! Autofficina Ferrari Clib

The Black Swan is a nice country pub, with great food and lovely staff.

Lovely Christmas lunch with girlfriends - we were very well taken care of by Stephanie!! Love the atmosphere - so cosy!

Waitress was great, attentive and funny!

We had the pleasure of meeting Steph who was extremely friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was fantastic as there was a live singer singing festive songs.

Great food and even better service from Jude, charming young man and on the ball with service

Fantastic service from Jude! My friends and I had a lovely time. Had the best Sticky toffee pudding ever 🤩

Fantastic service from start to finish by the friendly and highly attentive Jude!

Had a lovely lunch today. Good food, good service.

I popped into the Black Swan for dinner and I must say I was amazed by not only the food but also the atmosphere, the Pub had a very cosy feel to it! Diana was very attentive and very lovely, will definitely be visiting again!

Small portions of lukewarm food. Sticky toffee pudding was good

Stephanie provided phenomenal service. Food was delicious and lovely atmosphere!!!

Excellent food! excellent hosts what more can I say?!

Great steaks on Friday, great salad and fantastic service. The pub was very busy and had a great vibe! Well done and thank you!

Amazing Sunday roast! Super friendly folk!

We had a wonderful evening at The Black Swan this weekend. I have some food allergies and nothing was too much trouble for them. The staff were all so helpful and friendly with a special shout out to Barbara! We will definitely be back very soon.

Amazing food, atmosphere, service, so dog and children friendly. Asta is incredible! She made everything wonderful :)

Always had a fabulous meal here, staff are very amenable and attentive. I can't fault the place

Amazing Sunday roasts. Comfortably better than anything, even more pricey, in cobham or local area. My go to if I want to take family for a great meal at lunch or dinner any day of the week. Fish and chips are stand out too.

The atmosphere is great, food was delicious and the staff were friendly and attentive

Friendly pub with good food and a decent range of drinks.

Seabass was amazing best I’ve had. Sticky toffee pudding was also very good

First ever visit. Everything about this place is first class! Awesome staff and food in a fantastic serting

Tasty food, lovely staff, relaxed atmosphere, good + clean facilities and plenty of car park space. It is on the pricier side.

Lovely staff best roast on the planet highly recommend

Great friendly delicious food very welcoming

Lovely Sunday lunch and everything you’d expect from a country pub. Lovely attentive team and a great experience all round - we look forward to popping back soon. Thank you!

First class in every respect. Stephanie and Barbie looked after us perfectly. We highly reccommend…

We had a wonderful family meal to celebrate my mother-in-law coming to stay with us and it was a perfect evening

Great food and superb service, especially from Stephanie.

Can’t recommend this place highly enough, the service is excellent and you can tell they are super passionate and knowledgeable about food, not your traditional gastro pub. The food is incredible, especially for a fussy nutritionist and gf person like myself. They even had natural wines on the menu which is a huge win! Really special place and beautiful atmosphere. A regular spot for me.

Had a wonderful lunch time at the Black Swan. The food was very nice and great value and we were very warmly looked after by the staff, most notably the delightful Stephanie who was joyful and helpful throughout the afternoon. Thank you all at the Black Swan.

Amazing experience and our waitresses Barbie & Stephanie was so lovely

Great place .Great service. Thank you Stephanie for your service

Amazing place, amazing staff. Barbie was most welcoming

Me and my son had a beautiful welcome to this wonderful pub. All the members of staff were warm and welcoming especially one member of staff called Diana who was polite and respectful and made the experience here great I would highly recommend this place.

Amazing experience everyone is so welcoming and the food is great

An amazing place. We came to the American Werewolf in London evening and we had a drink in the Slaughtered Lamb. The food was amazing, the best three course meal I think I've ever had. Highly recommend it and we'll definitely come again.

Great food, service and cosy atmosphere

Went to a party there, food was good service was excellent. Thanks for a great time.

The food was absolutely delicious. The team is very nice and attentive. Highly recommend

We chose this pub because they have great vegan options. Also they have good cocktails and an extensive wine and beer list if you have a designated driver. Vegans and non vegans all enjoy the food here and clean plates all round. Booking is highly recommended. Plenty of parking as well.

Went in for a quiet drink; got loudly barked at by a dog; left immediately.

I recently enjoyed a Sunday roast at The black swan, and it was an exceptional experience. From the moment we walked in, the warm, inviting atmosphere set the stage for a perfect afternoon. The roast itself was a masterpiece. I opted for the beef, which was perfectly cooked—tender and full of flavor. The Yorkshire pudding was light and fluffy, a delightful complement to the rich gravy that accompanied the dish. The seasonal vegetables were fresh and cooked to perfection, adding a vibrant touch to the plate. Service was attentive without being intrusive, and our server was knowledgeable about the menu, offering excellent recommendations. The selection of local ales to pair with the meal was an added bonus. Overall, The black swan delivered a top-notch Sunday roast experience that I can’t recommend highly enough. I’ll definitely be returning for another round!

Super yummy food and attentive friendly service, we will be back for sure 👍

Yet again, another amazing experience at the Black Swan. Never disappointed after a lovely meal here.

Lovely roast diner and nice cocktails. Great atmosphere and good service. Will be back again to try different food and cannot wait for the summer to seat outside.

A lovely welcome - the staff were very helpful, service excellent and were kindly informative about the pub’s history! We enjoyed good local Surrey Hills beer and all food was very tasty, desserts too. A perfect lunch

A nice pub but if you just want a drink there is limited space inside when they are serving food especially on the weekend.

A must visit if you are out in the country

The best place in the area! Fantastic food and great service Highly recommend

Wonderful pub, so big that I almost got lost coming back from the toilet. Food was exceptional, service very good. They have parking too which is great!

We booked a table for 6 to celebrate my dad’s birthday and the staff were so friendly and welcoming. As it was the winter, the fire was on which added to the overall vibe. A traditional English pub with delicious food and a large variety of beverages. I have to say, it’s also the best Bloody Mary I’ve had! We will be back again soon.

I'd just like to thank Barbie and her team for everything they did for my Mum's surprise 80th party. They all went above and beyond to make sure it all went of well. Everyone enjoyed the buffet food and the chocolate brownies were a success. No doubt we'll be back there again soon for there excellent hospitality. THANK YOU ALL again for a great afternoon. X Woody

Nice pub, the garden furniture needs a good rub down and refurb though.

Delicious Sunday Roast Lovely atmosphere Helpful & friendly staff Spacious Resturant Would come back for another visit

Delicious food and amazing customer service, alongside a lovely atmosphere - especially the garden. Highly recommend a visit.

Were there for the launching of the book written by my brother. The service was excellent, food very good. We will take this experience back to Holland. Dogs are welcome a big plus for next time. Thank you

Asked what be the £19 Pie came with, told ‘nothing’ so ordered chips (the only potato you could order)and leeks as sides. Pie came with mash and cabbage. Complained as I would not have spent £10 on two extra sides. I had to say that I wouldn’t pay for them. The mash which came with the pie was in a very hot ramakin but the mash was stone cold. Had to complain. Obvs done in a microwave. Apologetic waitress (who the manager blamed saying ‘she’s new)’, but not even offered a free drink or anything to correct / make up for their mistakes. Very poor for £100+ meal for two. Amos was awful, very echoey room which meant I genuinely couldn’t hear my other half or waiter talking. Decor is tired with random shelf fixtures on walls and over doors. Shame. Won’t be coming back.

Barbara was an amazing hostess we had a lovely lunch!

Hired part of the venue for a birthday party. Food was amazing and all the staff worked so hard to make sure all our guests were looked after. Barbara, the manageress is the best host and her team has gone above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome.
