I have not been to the Swan for a very long time so thought it was an ideal opportunity to visit over the fathers day weekend. The meal was lovely the service very good but my only comment is we had to ask for the menu after waiting for a short time other than is it was great.

Use to be a lovely pub. Looks like they are doing what they can to run it into the ground so the licence can change. No doubt to turn it into some sort of day care or residential. They have to prove a lack of income year upon year for up to 3 years. But they also have to prove they have "attempted" to remedy the situation by renovating. In this case they turned a traditional yet unique pub into a bland weatherspoons knock off. The owner also has on numerous occasions thrown "banter" at patrons then became hostile if anyone joins in. Seen it time and time again. Root out any chance of returning custom. It will be a huge loss to the area if The Swan goes the way of the Dodo.

I thought it was quiet for a Saturday but no matter. Our hostess was lovely. We reserved a table and we were seated in the snug. I had the steak and kidney pie: the crust was perfection and the filling tender with just the right amount of gravy. The rest of the party were very happy with their choices too.

Really nice Pub. Dog-friendly area and great service. Good range of food with some dishes a bit different to typical pub grub, as well as the usual favourites. Would definitely recommend

Nice Sunday lunch. Children's portions are huge. No proper baby change facilities just a mat in the ladies toilet. Online booking didn't work so it was a good thing we checked with them prior to turning up.

A typical British pub with quaint low ceilings, fire place and decor. The menu doesn't try hard and keeps to simply basic pub grub. The sunday roast is flavourful with fantastic yorkies, however the meat portion was rather skimpy. Roast beef looked like 3 disappointing rashes of bacon in size. Not a great selection of beer (Stella tasted more like a weak citrus beer). Room for improvement but not a bad pub.

Fantastic, quality, local pub with a real personal touch from the team that run it. Honest, funny and extremely accommodating they genuinely do try an offer you a personal experience. The different spaces throughout offer something for everyone, whether you want an intimate evening or a bigger, group, event.

Good country pub. The beer is well kept (always a good start), and the food good. Normal pub menu, prices as you would expect in South Bucks, we enjoyed the meal, and will return next time we walk in the area. If you eat there, make sure you leave room for a dessert. So often pub puddings are a disappointment, but these were really good, probably the best meal out crumble I’ve ever had.

Arrived without reservation was told by the manager that there was a table for 2 but might be some wait for food. Placed our order for food ready for a wait, low & behold 15 min later 2 hot delicious meals were served. Had 2 lovely desserts. The Timothy Taylor bitter was a lovely drop of beer as well. Hats off to management & staff.

A rare example of a pub-running couple moving successfully from other business areas to the world of inn-keeping. It's a tightly-run ship, staff clearly involved, and thus a paragon of pub food and pub drinks, plus a soupcon of live music.

There were 18 of us, we had booked beforehand. Food was served lukewarm, which meant cold chips all over. Serviettes were only handed out by request (something mumbled about sustainability?). We accepted the cold food, because we were hungry after our walk and warming up would have taken a long time. I would not recommend this pub for food, as they clearly have no idea how to cater for larger groups. Just a beer is fine (even de coffee was horrible according to one of the guests at my table..). All in all a very disappointing experience for all the money we paid.

Really cute pub, great culture and vibes and very welcoming of any and all. Live jazz on Sunday’s. Child free for those that don’t like that. The letdown was lack of gluten free options - both substitutes (eg GF buns or pizza bases) but also a seeming general lack of willingness of owners to invest and take time to set up a simple system for being accessible for those who can’t safely consume it. Cross contamination is always a risk and something people accept but it’s 2025 - an easy issue to solve and would turn a good pub into a great, accessible venue.

Great experience. Food is really good, wine too. Service is really great. They provide advices and they’re really nice. Thanks to the chef and the team. If I have to criticise, it’s about the chips. I think that they can make it homemade. It will be the only things. My advice is for the crème brûlée, the greatest that I ever test.

January 2025 We've been using the Chatgaon regularly and always been very satisfied. Today we had 5 star customer service rectifying a mistake with the order. The replacement was delivered in 20 minutes. The food was excellent as always. Summer 2023 I have had deliveries from the Chatgaon regularly over the last year and they never disappoint. The Adadia remains a particular favourite. There are good vegetarian options and milder dishes which are really tasty. Summer 2022 I've used the Chatgaon a couple of times this summer and they're back to their normal excellence :-). February 2022 Previously I gave Chatgaon 5 stars - see review below. I'm sorry to say that the quality has dropped the last couple of times. The mushroom pakoras were fairly nasty with thick solid batter. The naans were quite charred in places, though otherwise fine. The cheddar mushrooms were in a very runny sauce which used to be thicker. On the positive side my shashlik masala was good and the rice and omelette were up to the usual standard. It's sad to find an exceptional restaurant has become average. Summer 2020 Reopened today with new Covid19 precautions. Delivered on time and with good handling and distancing. Great food, better than ever! We'll definitely be ordering again.
