Great place for a quick pint (or two) and for quick food, I wouldn’t get anything large here as it’s not the greatest.

We travelled from Preston and was staying close by; we rang ahead to check children would be welcomed after 7pm (we wanted to watch the England v Brazil game). Not only were we reassured that it was very much a ‘family friendly’ pub; they also said they’d book us a table near a screen to ensure we didn’t miss the game. Wonderful customer service; great team; good pub grub and with three children we couldn’t have felt more comfortable. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Popped in before Theatre trip and a very nice surprise. Staff were wonderful. Fast service, polite. Great range of drinks on offer. Went upstairs to eat. Good amount of space and choice on the menu. Had the steak and ale pie, mash. Lovely. Thank you 'The Swan'. See you next time we're in Hammersmith

Only popped in for a quick pint. £5.90 for a pint of 3.8% mediocre cask ale. I thought this was a bit steep even for London. The TT Landlord is £6.30. No wonder people go to Wetherspoon's next door. The pub itself has bags of character, but surely Nicholson's, as a large pub chain, has the buying power to sell beer at more competitive prices.

I am a shareholder of this company and have visited many of their establishments throughout the UK. I would certainly revisit all of them apart from this one. The customer service is extremely poor but this is certainly due to the abysmal leadership of Adam the manager. Arrogance, Adam, is not something you should be showing in this industry. Izzy, however, was very good at her role and was very polite. Perhaps the manager should spend some time shadowing her to learn a few things. There is no organisation here with regards to food service. No staff appear to have a clue where prebooked customers are sitting. Also, the mains were brought out before starters were finished. Front of house and kitchen staff need to develop their communication skills. Maybe the running of this establishment is beyond the skills of the current manager.

A great pub, we went in to watch the rugby before heading over the road to a gig at the Apollo. They had a good choice of beers and the prices were reasonable, the staff were great and service was prompt. Someone had even taken trouble to know who was playing at the Apollo and play appropriate music in the pub beforehand.

Lovely pub with great beers on tap and friendly efficient staff. We stopped by here to watch the England Wales rugby game and despite the pub being really busy, the staff served people at the bar really efficiently and you weren’t stood waiting for anytime over a minute, so they were certainly staffed well! The pub itself it nice too, the atmosphere was great. We ordered a couple of portions of chips and a garlic flatbread which we did think was overpriced for what it was which was a shame. However if ever in Hammersmith area again when needing to watch sport, we know where to go!

Actually walked in and then walked out, so frosty was the welcome. Had literally only wanted a pint before heading off (9 pm on a Saturday) but the security on the door was hostile to the point of dark comedy. To end a tirade about exhaling a vape before entering to one of my group; take off hat to another (when sub zero outside) etc. When finally happy, "Welcome". Sheesh. It's not a nightclub. It's a Nicolson's pub that I've visited for 30+ years. (Hence adding a second star). No wonder it was relatively empty and lacking in atmosphere. Yeh, you might want to rethink a visit here. Which is a shame as it was a classic pub. Fortunately plenty of other options in Hammersmith far more worthy of your money.

What a wonderful pub, first visited several years ago and had an amazing night out so made a point of going back when I knew I was gonna be in Hammersmith again. The staff, food and beer were all as good if not better than I remembered. We were greeted at the bar by a young Australian girl called Sarah who let us sample a couple of ales, I definitely recommend the ghost ship. When we went back to order food the gentleman behind the bar recommended the pies, I don't recall his name but he was wearing a fairly loud but stylish shirt. We chose the steak and ale pie and it was just perfect. A young lady called kattalyyn who bought our food out was very attentive and came back to check if everything was ok. We had planned to move on to another pub but had enjoyed ourselves so much we stayed until close.

Abbiamo assaggiato diversi tipi di pie (tortini di pasta frolla ripieni di carne e altro) molto buoni. Poi abbiamo mangiato anche fish and chips un altro piatto con pollo. Anche il locale molto carino, tipico pub inglese, prezzi medio alti in linea con gli altri prezzi di Londra.

I recently visited The Swan in Hammersmith, London, with high expectations for a classic British meal of fish and chips. Unfortunately, my experience fell short of expectations. The fish and chips were overcooked, resulting in a burnt and oily taste that overshadowed the dish's potential. The overall ambiance of the pub was pleasant, but the subpar quality of the main course left me unsatisfied. I hope the management addresses the cooking issues to ensure a more enjoyable dining experience for future patrons.

I've visited this pub a few times over the years. The mulled wine here is good, and I like the atmosphere. The service is okay. I've had food here before and had no issues, but I didn't order food on my last visit. The ladies' toilets really smell awful every time I visit, but at least they're upstairs. A lady walking past me on the staircase intentionally elbowee me in my chest last time I was there and pretended nothing had happened! The prices for drinks here are reasonable (for London) and they're well located, close to the station. I guess my other issue is that I'm not too fond of sitting on high tables and stools as a short person, and sometimes that's all they have available!

Lovely and busy corner pub right outside Hammersmith Station. Been here a few times but this time we ordered dinner. Found a quiet table upstairs and ordered from the QR code menu. She had Chase Pink Grapefruit and Pomelo G&T (delicious!) and the Puy Lentil Cottage Pie which was cooked perfectly, the lentils were soft and the sauce was flavorful. I had a Nicholson's Original G&T (a classic!) and the Lamb Shank Shepherd's Pie which was piping hot with warm delicious gravy. The Lamb was quite good and lacked the gameyness some Lamb has. We will definitely return!

It looks distinctive on the outside. That’s where the good ends. It’s just an average chain English pub with sticky tables, below average food (that I would not normally eat), desultory waitstaff, long wait for service. I can’t believe it’s one of the 24 best pubs in London.

Not one of the staff smiled or thanked us for our custom, the food was literally thrown at us at the table, overall not a pleasant visit. only postive the food was hot and tasty

Nice pub, busy and friendly BUT BUT BUT EAT HERE AT YOUR OWN RISK, 8 of us ate here last Saturday before going to the theatre. BIG mistake, 3 of us had chicken bacon avocado salad, they couldnt be more different (2 plates had cubes of chicken 1 plate had 2 whole breasts, 1 plate had NO pumpkin seeds, 1 plate had 2 halves of 'a' tomato other plates had more), how could you bring 3 plates do different to the same table made us laugh!!!, further more the chunks of chicken and bacon were EXTREMELY dry, no dressing either. We probably used half the bottle of mayo to make it plateable. The steak and ale pie was lacking in filling and excessive hard crust, the fish was extremely oily. One member of our party did however have one of the burgers they said it was OK. If you do eat here, dont have any of he above.

We came for a classic Sunday roast, having heard many good things about it and seen it advertised outside this pub located just outside Hammersmith station. Unfortunately, nothing to write home about. Service: We booked a table for lunch, and we had to speak to the bartender to announce our arrival as nobody welcomed us. There is nobody to take your order: you order online via QR code and have to pay in advance via credit card/apple pay etc. And are also given a request for service tip (what service?). The only moment a server came to check whether the food was OK was at the end, at which point it doesn't really matter anymore. Food: we got the Roast sirloin of beef. Quality was ok, but nothing more: we were expecting more from such a traditional meal. Price was OK, but the quantity of meat seemed a bit lacking compared to the whole dish. Ambience: the pub looks nice and welcoming, definitely gives you the feel of something with a lot of history. If we were to come again, it would only be to try the famous awarded pie(s).

Established in 1743, won't make it to 2024 without attitude change. That we order online is ok, but prepay (and type in all credit card details) is NOT ok; the least you can do is come to my table after dinner so i can swip my card. Now they ask to pay for service fee upfront, and service was extremely lousy. Table wasn't cleaned, cutlery brought after the food was on the table, asked for sauce but they brought an empty bottle. Sorry, the whole experience was far below expectations. There are better options than Nicholson's/Swan.
