Always great food with friendly and attentive service. The gyro on the Mon to Wed special has been out of stock for ages, which is a pity. Great that it has both vegetarian and vegan options.

We booked for a party of 17 at relatively short notice. The staff on the phone & on the night were efficient, helpful and friendly. We were asked to preorder (due to size of group) which made things so much easier on the night and I was able to provide this by email. The food was fantastic, served in a timely manner and presented nicely (no negative comments from 17 people - no easy feat)! Bar staff were great and the chef did a fabulous job. The prices of the meals were extremely reasonable - meaning I was able to give a bigger tip than normal (hopefully went to those working that evening). Tired building and exterior but did not negatively impact our experience. Would highly recommend a visit.

We didn't actually come as we was traveling to see family and they told use to ring on the day, my husband run in the afternoon and was told they couldn't guarantee there will be a chef, so we went else where, How can you run a business like this with not even taking the time out to let us .know, get it sorted out

We have been in Newbury visiting recently. Last year went here to find it closed due to lack of staff. Today went at 19.45 to be told food finished. Web page should make that clear. Also drinks menu makes no mention of beers or larger! As a shareholder in m&b all very disappointing not surprising Spoons are doing better!

At first, we thought the Swan was a lovely place for people to spend their time with family and friends. We ordered our food, it came in a reasonable time, and then it happened... A fly was on our table, going into glasses and on plates. Can't say I saw really impressed with this, as flies have a tendency to leave their waste on our food. And, to top of off, someone was unconscious on the bar floor, making my children uncomfortable. Really hope that you can learn from this traumatic experience. xx

Really great fish and chips, would have again and again: Good portion, nice and crispy batter, fresh, tasty and hot. Lasagne was ok, but wasn't great, could do with better sheet pasta and beschamel sauce. Mon to Fri main meal special for two is really great value for money. Super friendly staff 😎👌🏻 Cocktail specials look good on paper, will need to come back to sample them.

Booked a table online last minute for myself and husband. Ordered food quickly even with a young girl training. Food came out hot and full of flavour. I had the gyros and my husband the ultimate curry plate which he thoroughly enjoyed. Ordered drinks from table which came at a reasonable wait time as seemed busy. Staff are always friendly and cheerful.

Bad experience. First off waited 45 for main course even though they only had 2 tables in. When it came out it was not very nice. When we had finished we had to wait over 25 minutes before we went to get a refund on our dessert as the girl behind the bar was too busy feeding herself and on her phone. Sad to say we won’t be coming back after about 4 years of being amazing and coming very regularly. Massive disappointment

Visited this venue after some retail therapy found a table decided what we wanted to order and then on visiting the bar was told no walk ins, all tables are booked. There was no notice to say this, but i am glad i didnt stop there for food because the place seemed quite run down. It was quiet on first visit and then after I had found another pub to serve us great food this pub was still looking dead with no atmosphere on my way back past.
