The Swallow in Hillingdon

Stop burning rubbish and polluting the local environment and your customers. Couldn’t even sit outside!

They literally cancelled our christmas! We turned up to find our christmas menu choices, booked three weeks earlier, were gone. If we wanted to go ahead, there was only lamb...not helpful to vegetarians...who ended up with mushrooms and chips. I was fascinated by how the staff could not care less.lastly, the festive menu was on every table still, even though only lamb was available. Oh, and they forgot our crackers and we were offered nothing as compensation or goodwill. Goodbye 'Swallow'

The service may have been a bit slow. However, staff were very kind and the food was excellent

Enjoyed the visited food and drinks

Traditional pub, fast service & very pleasant atmosphere

Great place great atmosphere good food the manager Andy goes out of his way to make your vist a good one

Saved! Arriving by tube, in search of a cab, looking lost, the hostess greeted us outside and came to our rescue and called a cab to take us to our hotel. And the pints of Green King cask IPA really hit the spot! Excellent service! Thank you!!

Lovely place to go to after a heavy days work. Friendly hosts. As the owners are Irish, maybe a bit of Irish atmosphere would be welcome. I’m English, but wouldn’t mind an Irish theme.

Great service great choice of food go again

The pints were great but the food was bland. I will be back for the pints.

I recently visited The Swallow and was charmed by its cosy atmosphere and the great range of dishes on offer. I've added it to my barguide.london site too!

Beautiful pub 🍻. Good service. Lots of seating.

Decent pub right next to the station

Should really update their website. Walked here as it says open until 3:30. They aren’t! Waste of time

Popped in for a birthday drink and snack. Had a sandwich each. Very expensive sandwich….literally just 2 slices of bread with chilli chicken….cooked on a griddle so rather overcooked and tough!! No garnish or side extra for £7.50 Would have been lovely if it had just had that extra touch of presentation and care!!

Popped into this pub a few times over the Christmas period with family. It's there local but not mine as I don't live in the area. I was very impressed with the place, friendly staff and a lovely restaurant area with amazing food. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I would definitely recommend popping in if you are in the area of Hillingdon.

The food was excellent. Good size portions which were great value for money. The staff were very friendly.

Had a lovely Christmas dinner, we were a group of about 8 and all very happy with our food, it was warm and full of flavour and served succinctly, the lady looking after us was very attentive too and provided doggy bags for the lady with a small appetite! Well done Phil the chef, very tasty food, we loved your parsnips! Thank you we will be back

Great good good services. Shame about the band

Great food, it's really good value. Genuine service and it's in a good location.

Called in on the way back from a busy day in London, I had steak pie, my husband had chicken, just what we needed delicious. The tv was very loud in the dining room would be my only criticism, but will definitely return.

Nice middle week evening with simple food and friendly atmosphere. Nothing fancy. Young wait staff a bit slow but is not busy so just chill and relax. The parking is at the rear next to the train station lot.

Great staff and a lovely clean pint

Was way too hot inside. Fans would have helped. Everything else was great.

They helped me out when I was stranded at 1AM. Lovely people, lovely atmosphere.

Super friendly staff members here and the book was amazing cooked perfectly and so tasty and juicy outstanding Service here I got the Classic cheeseburger and it was cooked perfectly and just melted in your mouth what more do you want from your food I will come back here and try more things when I can and the Salad was amazing I really don't eat salad but how they done it here was Delicious keep up the amazing work and the amazing food it was cooked Fresh and it was very hot just how I like it thank you all

Lovely pub, nice and easy before jumping on the tube. Not the best seats to watch football.

Absolutely fabulous all round,,,,great breakfast,,,, had dinner the other day and the steak was brilliant,, decent pint too👍

Lovely pub, with great food, music and live sports on TV. The staff are friendly and welcoming.

Great spot. Lovely food, quick bar service and friendly staff. Watched the GAA (hurling) on the TV too. Will definitely return 👍

A great local pub just outside Hillingdon station. Good food, good staff and friendly atmosphere.

Great friendly pub, with live music on Saturday night. Down to earth, just how pubs used to be and should be.

Only popped in for a few drinks but would say it's a lovely place, with a great variety of drinks... the menu looked good too!

Great pub, next to Underground station.

I like this pub very much. I go there with my mates for drinks, sometimes food. They have this very good rock and roll band, The Tribute and you can dance.

Fantastic place to watch the footy, sport, relax, and even nice for a social beer or ten!

Not been in The Swallow for 47 years. Please to find it in great nick . Clean tidy excellent service 👌

Was going to Wembley for a play off final match. Having driven to Hillingdon before and gone in on the tube decided to repeat the experience. This pub is right in the station. It looks nothing from the outside but thought it would be ok for a drink. The pub was lovely inside and had a beer garden at the front which although is on a main road was shaded by a few plants and was a nice area to sit. There was a decent food menu for pub grub so decided to take that up. The prices for food and drink for London was pretty reasonable. The staff were really welcoming and there was a mix of opposing fans there but a great atmosphere. The toilets were immaculate. I would not hesitate to visit here again if going to Wembley and would advise anyone travelling there to take this option.

Visited this pub on the way to Wembley for a football match. Pub is good, bar food and drink prices decent. Toilets immaculate and staff really friendly and accommodating. Very surprised to see a review from a couple of days ago (which is when I was there) stating staff are racist as there was at least one person of colour behind the bar and all the staff were interacting well with each other and the customers.

This place is horrible! If you’re human and have any sort of decency you wouldn’t put a penny in these peoples pockets to support this pub. They’re rude and racist it was a disgusting experience that I wouldn’t wish on anyone, never again.

Went to this pub last night and was treated horribly by staff, owner kicked us out and was a racist! Me and my mate were the only black customers there. NEVER EVER GO TO THIS PUB IF YOU ARE A PERSON OF COLOUR.

Ok pub for a quick drink. Live bands on a Friday night however slightly loud for my liking.

Lovely pub, lots of TVs for the sports, nice selection of beers, very polite and friendly staff and the food looks amazing

Lovely, busy pub... Food looked amazing...

Good band and able to spend with family

Great pub, great night with The Uptown cats

It's a nice friendly boozer serving top beers and great food, it's a really good establishment

Nice pub, friendly staff and good selection of drinks.

Good efficient service and great bands

Lovely Sunday lunch. Great to have a small portion.

Good food and beer.....far better than waiting in the car to pick someone up from the station!!

Great haven't been in before popped in for drink Loved fact no one bothered us

Good pub with live band. Good opportunity for a quick pint before a rail journey.

Stoped for a desert lovely staff , very friendly

Lively pub, with sport and music. Good basic pub grub right next to Hillingdon Station

Helpful staff - I broke down outside this pub and the staff were awesome - thanks

The Sunday roast was very nice - it tasted fresh and wasn't 'from frozen' food. I had the gammon and lamb, though I'd recommend not adding salt onto the gammon as it's already salted.

Beautiful local pub. Peaceful please to watch football

Lovely host and hostess. Yummy fish and chips and ice cold beer.

Lovely bit of bacon and cabbage. Lovely atmosphere and decent pints

Excellent place, nice food. Just a stone's throw from the underground station, I have a great time every time I visit!

Lovely pub next door to Hillingdon Station. I had the Irish stew and it was delicious and flavourful and at a reasonable price too. Very nice pub indeed

Nice pub. Good screens for the footie. Nice layout, plenty of outside seating. Bit pricy but the drinks on tap are cold!

Great pub, but it's a little sporty. And don't think about going out in the evening for something to eat. I was informed that the kitchen shuts at 7pm. At 6.55pm.

Could not argue with it. Proper pub grub and decent beer.

Good spot to watch GAA in, good food as well.

Had a great lunch there, the best pint of Guinness I've ever had...definitely a pub to visit again...

Really unfriendly landlord who hates me for no apparent reason , made me sit out in the cold to drink my lager even though I have been there for years. Haven't done anything to him and seems to hold a gripe against me. According to him I left the bathroom in a mess last time and I know I didn't so he's misjudged me . Last time I went was after work and I literally went in just to use the loo and came out. He has an agenda with women , no sole women drinkers in there anyway. Must be someone with a very cruel cold heart when you hate someone without reason , then force a woman to sit outside in the cold to drink their lager without given a proper explanation why . Other then that I left the bathroom in a mess, it's nonsense I haven't been there in over a year. It's just out of spite or mistaken identity

Food nice, staff always friendly

My favourite pub EVER (my local)... Andy and his team of staff are always welcoming, kind and very attentive to customers and their requests!

Good atmosphere staff are friendly decent beer. But expensive

Fantastic food good service brilliant live music

Review is based on its location. Right next to Hillingdon station

Lovely old school feeling in this pub. We too late for food but the menu looked good. Great real ales.

Nice place to get a drink before catching the train into London.

Great friendly little pub, reasonable price, great food would highly recommend

Great food. well cooked very good staff. Will go again

Lovely staff. Can't help enough. Lovely meals.

Food was abysmal. Roast beef was dry. Food took over an hour to arrive. Wings are bland.

Waited over an hour for food. Despite starving at that point, I struggled to eat what was quite possibly the worst pub meal I’ve ever had

Sunday roast like school dinners. Canned greens, frozen spuds

Bevor es zurück nach Central London ging, kehrten wir in diesem Pub am Bahnhof Hillingdon auf ein Getränk ein. Der Pub ist schön eingerichtet und die Bedienung ist sehr freundlich.

Great traditional pub, very well connected, it's sandwiched between Hillingdon tube station and the bus and coach stop. Don't change mode of transport without popping in here for a pint or a snack! Or stay for while, seems very popular with the locals, Sky Sports etc.

Lovely pub, good and friendly stuff

Great land lady and staff. Good client Just like good pubs used to be.

Very nice atmosphere. The sports weren't super loud but you could still follow what was going on. It has a lovely local pub feel with friendly patrons and staff!

Staff are very friendly, food was lovely children really enjoyed it too especially dessert 😀 it's got a really nice feel to the place, will definitely go again.

Lovely lunch, very friendly staff

Very Friendly, excellent serviy

Terrific venue for Fish and chips. Great service and well priced value for money . Will visit again and try other fare on offer

Went for breakfast and it was okay

Nice service and place, but the food is of very moderate pub quality, even for the price.

Great night cheers Andy and staff

Lovely friendly staff and lovely hot food. Definitely worth a visit ❤️

Didn't actually go in but looked a lively place

the home of grainnualle.great craic drink and company

I like this place. Very good for the pint after the work. Kind and polite staff, just seat at the table and done.

Welcoming yes yes .food great. Best fish and chips I have for a long time, Staff very nice just had beef pie mash and peas the best pie i have eaten in a long time, the staff were great 10 stars

Nice and friendly service. Good selection of drinks. We came quite late in the evening so the kitchen was closed but there were gammon sandwiches which were delicious.
