The Swan in South Bucks

When I visited the pub was quiet, staff were friendly

Nice proper pub in nice part of Beaconsfield

It’s not even a shadow of what it used to be a couples of years ago. None of the staff behind the bar know how to make a decent drink! It’s shocking how wrong they can get even simple drinks like Vodka with ice and lemon and a G&T!! Went there after a long time (having had a terrible experience before)… except this time it was even worse. Over the weekends it’s seems to become a late night watering hole for singles… which explains why none cares about the quality of service or drinks. Not a place for couples… move on!

It was closed on Friday 10th may

Delightful pub cracking staff didn't eat

A lovely place to visit with a good vibe, if you’re not from this area then you’ll be totally shocked by the prices as they’re totally London prices!!

Good food and service, friendly staff.

great, especially SAM, helpful and very busy

Awful customer service from Johnny, the one with earrings. Refused to serve us drinks when serving a whole group of men. Felt very sexist. Knowing we are locals and come here every weekend we feel like very poor service was conducted. Will not be returning and we think this young man needs a word for how he treats loyal customers!!

Had the Buffalo Chicken Burger and Chips and Chocolate Brownie and Ice cream. Chips looked like 'bits' or leftovers. Not impressed ! Chicken burger was tasty. Brownie was too dry and ice cream was average.

Had a couple of pints in here, Landlord obviously keeps a very good pub. Lovely crisp fresh lager. Definitely keeps on top of line cleaning and glasses.

The bouncer in the hat was amazing

This used to be the finest pub in BEACONSFIELD for many years. Last night was reasonably pleasant evening until anthrax followed by heavy drum and base was randomly played at top volume on a Wednesday evening at 9pm. I paid 17.00 for 8 tiny wings and chips which the barman was also conveniently eating on shift. Not quite sure what direction the new landlord is taking but evidently it’s the wrong one. Unless of course they running it into the ground so change of use can be applied for after years of negative books. Let’s see. Shame on the brewery also for upping the rent. 6/10. (The fire was hot and the staff nice) Guinness was flat.

Lovely rustic pub with an open fire and great atmosphere. Had an excellent pint of guiness as well. Could stay in this pub all day and night.

Great atmosphere and drink selection, food was second to none will 100% return

Nice place to visit for a few drinks & added bonus of having Sky Sports 👍👍

Stopped off for a drink. Lovely staff.

Popped in for a drink whilst staying at a local hotel. The landlord was really friendly and welcoming. Would recommend you pop in if in the area. Nothing fancy, just a nice welcoming place.

Really welcoming pub. Perfect stop on the way home. Best nachos I’ve had! Good burgers and fries too and water and snacks brought for the dog. Water was cheerfully mopped up after the dog sent it flying! If we lived closer we’d be back.

Very lively, incredible atmosphere with live music on a regular basis. Great service from the many bar staff.

The bartender, Samuel, was really friendly and the vegetarian burger was great. The truffle fries made my day.

Nothing special,, noticed the playground has been removed 😔 sorry kids

Food and drink is fine but pricey. It is Beaconsfield though. The service is mostly fine, used to be better. Some of the security people they use at weekends are nasty little @#£_-& but it's not all that unusual I suppose and crowd control can be frustrating. The pub generally attracts the decent sort of people even if some of them do do coke in the toilets. Solid 4.5 in general

One of the best Pubs in Beaconsfield with a real local English pub feel to it. Inside its nice a cosy with a few sofas round one side or tables for sitting down for a meal. The food is superb also with a good choice of English Pub food. The Swan also has a lovely outside garden area at the rear which is great place to have a drink in the summer!!

Since it changed hands the new owners seem intent on turning The Swan into a dive bar. No atmosphere anymore, original fixtures inside have been ripped out and the kids play area was demolished and replaced with a pile of dangerous rotting wood. Outside bar is no more and the pub garden now feels like an afterthought. No issue with the town having an old man's sports pub, but The Swan used to be so much more.

Amazing vibe. Open mic is back on thursdays.

We just had a drink here, there were a lot of younger people watching football, made me feel old!!

My partner went to the pub and was attacked/beaten by 3 guys in an area where are no cameras. The staff seemed no surprise as they are locals/regulars and seems like it wasn’t the first time. No chance to call police as his phone was taken and dropped at the bar/somewhere in a pub as I was at home due to family obligations and took me ages to reach out my partner. I’m thankful he got home himself and I don’t have to visit him in a hospital. It’s a blessing our nephew (18+), but it’s us looking after him today, had to go home earlier than the accident happened!

Good live music, shame about the gammons. And I don't mean the food.

Everything was superb from start to finish

A proper traditional English pub, sports TVs to watch the Six Nations rugby & Premiership football. New member of staff struggled to pour a decent Guinness was the only Downside.

A basic but cute local pub in the centre of Beaconsfield town.

New management are turning this once great pub into a dive bar, attracting riff raff clientele who spend more time in the toilet cubicles than at the bar buying drinks. The atmosphere has changed in the last 6 months and I’m now hoping for new management once again. Won’t be returning.

MERRY SHITMAS! Told we had a space for 12 of us, got there and weren’t allowed it. Avoid at Christmas… Ya filthy animals.

Good selection of real ales. Did not have food. Some of the bar staff were a bit stand offish and not very welcoming.

Came here for lunch with my partner yesterday and we both had chicken burgers. They were really fresh and tasty. The meal portions were huge and really decent all round. It was just a flying visit for us and will be back if we find ourselves in Beaconsfield.

I’ve been a regular at this pub for quite some time now. The bad reviews surprised me as I could not fault this pub. The food is great, staff are welcoming and friendly and the selection of beer is bang on! Not to mention the new addition of the pool table which is the only in the whole of Beaconsfield and is the cherry on top for my partner and I. The landlord Neil is a great guy and knows exactly what we want to order every time we go. Overall, this is a classic and traditional pub which is very far and few between in Beaconsfield with all the others becoming Gastro pubs. Well done Neil, Connor and Alice!!!

Over the past year this once great night out is now no better than the dives in other nearby towns. A sniffer dog could be of some use on a Saturday night as well!

A small pub with a large out door seating area...Live bands play weekly and the pubs very busy on the weekends. Mostly the younger generation visit the pub but caters for all. Recommend a visit.

Lovely pub, with a nice outdoor garden that's great for this summer season. The food was nice and delivered very fast to my table, only side note, no traditional Sunday Roast option on the menu. Still recommended, very nice pub!

I ordered a cheeseburger and found it inedible. When I politely asked for for a refund I was refused because I had partially eaten it. The pub is nice but I suggest you give the food a wide berth.

Great staff,drinks fairly priced.

We had the worst experience at the Swan. Unfortunately I will never return, even though it’s local to me. The bouncers on the door are abusive & narrow minded. Worst place in Beaconsfield - don’t ruin your evening by going here!!

Nice ambience, great location in the old town. Nice outdoors area for drinking and eating.

refused entry with a skateboard on a saturday night for drinks, came solo. reconsider your narrow minded / pretentious policies - you are just a pub (albeit in middle england where social attitudes are lagged 10-15 years)

Brilliant..loved it..beautiful garden..lovely friendly pub and live music...what's not 2 like.

Lovely place and drink, great if you're getting a taxi, if yoire driving no parking is given so it's best of luck to find a spot

Good food, Thursday music nights always packed and queue and people a real natural and friendly. Top for lunch, dinner and just drinks. But wow it seems to be a lot more expensive these days... 😬

It carries a character, as in traditional british pub. Ambience is good. Staff's good too.

Used to love going here, seemed like the staff were making up prices as they went along, two drinks cost £27… but for same order they charged my friend £18 not sure how you can get that so different

Got myself a Cajun chicken burger which was really nice. The bun was a little bit dry and the chips were extra oily. Unfortunately they ran out of tomato ketchup which ruined my whole meal. Although I have to say the burger was very tasty

Staffing needs improvement. No chefs so had to get my starving toddler some snacks and go somewhere else. Need to pre warn customers using your website or even your notice board that was put out the front of the pub. I hope you get things sorted there.

I turned up at this pub as told there was a children's play area which there was but on a Saturday lunchtime, I would have expected it to be somewhat busy but we were the only customers in there (Myself, my toddler and two adults friends). Their website says they serve food but when I ask for a menu I was told they do not serve food and awaiting a chef to start in 2 weeks' time. They should advertise this on their website as my toddler was really hungry so I had to, after asking permission from the manager who said yes because it was for a child (but not for the adults) I could bring food in. When we left we were pleasantly thanked for coming by the manager. Not impressed at all to be honest. Won't be going back. The Stag in Flackwell Heath is amazing by the way!

DO NOT GO HERE! It is a terrible place & discriminates if your pregnant! The bouncer was awful & said pregnant women should not be in a bar!!! Save your money and go elsewhere! I will be reporting them to the licensee council

Lively local pub - only real pub left in Beaconsfield - shame pub crawls round Beaconsfield were legendary

It is a very racist pub against Asian people. They serve white people as a priority and don’t care about POC punters even though they may have queued prior to white punters. Awful experience, because they are all racist.

Great little pub, great band playing, enormous beautiful back garden with friendly and attentive bartenders!

The Swan got a new owner and closed for a refurb before Christmas 2021. It's just reopened and has exactly the same decor as before. They've just taken out all the stuff that made it good. The amazing selection of gins has been replaced by what you might find on a good day at your local Tesco metro. If you prefer lager and ale, don't worry. At least three pubs on the same street do a better range. And they have a better atmosphere. And The Swan is more expensive. New owners need a rebrand: The Lame Duck seems appropriate.

Just went for beers and live music was ok

Extremely disappointed with the food here, we should have guessed when we were the only ones eating. Starters were fine but then it was only cheesy nachos. My chilli was okay but my partner ordered Jerk Chicken, what he got was 3 massive lumps of chicken in a sauce that was okay and rice with no beans. The chicken he said was like cardboard, he took it home, washed the sauce off and gave it to the dog. Not recommended. The staff were very attentive though.

Such a shame. This place used to be reknowned for their excellent burgers, then new owners arrived and almost the entire selection of outstanding burger combinations is gone, leaving just a cheesburger as the beef selection!!! Ruined.

Excellent, family friendly pub.

It's ok,but they're try to read of us,when we drink slowly,we spend £100,never visit again.

The food is always incredible and the main reason we come here. Kids love the playground towards the back of the restaurant and service from the duty staff is always polite and kind. The manager on this afternoon (until evening, after spending the best part of £250 plus) from the manager Shannon was the most appalling we have experienced to date. She is not customer centric and tried to charge us, as customers, for a bar mistake for tonic water (we are talking about £1.50). Surely after the time and money we have spend since 4pm until 8:45pm, a small tonic water mistake would be a rounding error. No, not from Shannon, the rude and righteous manager on duty this evening. Shame, that was the only let down for the evening. I would come back, but not if Shannon is due to be on duty!

Great service especially at this moment of time.. food & beer is good & the atmosphere is lovely.. very family welcoming

Such friendly service Great beer ,lovely friendly punters

We went on a family meal of 8 and we told them.that we wanted the table side by side but no one table was at the other side of pub and the lady wasn't helpful at all.

A lovely pint of Rebellion IPA in a pleasant garden

Not been here since before C-19. Finally booked in for a family meal as it was a Birthday. All four of us were comfortably seated with as many C-19 precautions as needed. We had a new member of staff serving (Well done Laurie) and it was great to be out eating again. Thursday night was Burger night special so 3 of us enjoyed fabulous meals. My daughter requires Gluten free diet and this was exceptionally catered for and she was very happy to be able to enjoy a meal out too. Overall we had a great meal and enjoyed the exxperience. Thank you Swan!

Popped here with my 1&3 year old for a midday lunch on a Friday and was quiet. We sat outside so the girls could play on the climbing frames which were perfect for early years. Great American style food and generous portions. Friendly staff who put up with us moving tables 🤣 and the littles running around! I had the nachos which were delish and chicken wings 😋 which were HUGE! Bon Appetite

Good pub but seems to have lost its way a bit recently. The previous Saturday we were the only people in the marquis when suddenly loud country and western music started blaring out. We asked the waitress if this could be turned off or down but she told us that the manager had told her this was not possible as the Swan was now an American themed pub and other guests yet to arrive would want this. Really? We moved table and waited for the bus load of Dolly Parton fans to show but must have missed them. Also 12.5 percent service charge now automatically added to everything so bear this in mind when ordering. It is a shame as a great traditional local pub is in danger of becoming an American themed restaurant that serves pints.

Been here several times and always first class food and service in a glorious setting, highly recommended. Is a bit of fun to find but well worth it, easy with sat nav, Book in advance as it is very popular

Nice friendly staff, but no Southern Comfort, barnardo or spiced rum!

Busy Saturday night but Dom the waiter got us seated and offered amazing customer service. John the security guard was probably the most professional and polite bouncer I’ve met as normally they are quite aggressive with young lads. Small things like this all add up for fantastic and enjoyable experience I will definitely be coming back here. Would 100% recommend if in beaconsfield.

The friendliest pub I’ve been to. Dom the waiter is amazing so friendly and polite and John the bouncer is so calm and polite aswell! Best pub I’ve been to would 100% recommend!

We came for lunch here and loved it! The food was so much better than any other pub around and the staff were literally amazing and catered to us constantly! We can’t wait to come back 😌

Went today (BH Sunday) with my GF and dog. Really welcoming staff, faultless service. Great atmosphere. Lovely garden. Clean toilets. And most importantly the food was Amazing! Proper honest food, comes as you hope/expect, extremely reasonably priced....would have happily paid more for the portions and quality. Excited to return! Thank you!

Was greeted by a cold host, who seemed to be the manager wasn’t friendly at all. Waited over 20 mins minimum for drinks on not a busy Thursday. I believe her name was Alana but she made our visit better just with her happy and really made an effort to make conversation.

Nor great on a Thursday if you are over 30 and just want a chat with a pal... Music is to loud for chatting on a Thursday

Really enjoy this place. Been a few times and everytime it's been great! Staff are great and food is lovely

Great pub with amazing atmosphere. We had a few nibbles during our visit that was delightful and even a live act!!!

Appreciate pubs have suffered over the last year but The Swan is the only one I know to add a service charge of 12.5 % to the price of drinks.

I’ve been here a few times before in the past, all before COVID. Usually a really nice pub but I think there’s been a change in management? Whoever sat us to our table made us feel incredibly unwelcome like we’d ruined her booking system. Does the Swan no longer accept walk ins?

Cracking gem of a pub, friendly staff, great food, atmosphere, lovely South facing garden for all day sun action (when out).. love your gin? This is the place to go, home distilled variety of gin to suit all taste buds.. also has a good range of beers on tap..

Forced to wear a mask even with exemption absolutely shocking

Food was delicious, lovely local pub lunch! Best chicken wings and nachos in town. Also a great spot for drinks in the evening!

Great staff ... Very welcoming and safety conscious table service ... Live music ... Well-heated and ventilated outside space. Thanks!

Tables outside could do with a refresh feel like they are about to fall to bits. But food is good as are the staff

Great beer , polite welcoming staff .

Even with everything how it is this is a really lovely pub really friendly and welcoming staff and great food. We will be back

Absolutely love this pub.Some may find it a little confusing that the menu is not a traditional pub menu, it’s an absolutely delicious , very authentic US menu!I’ve been visiting California for over 20 years so I’m very familiar with US cuisine and The Swan do it perfectly.We had Haloumi fries, Buttermilk Chicken and waffles and Classic quesadilla’s, all were scrummy and perfectly cooked.If you’re craving some really authentic US food, forget the typical TGI’s , Frankie & Benny‘s etc and head to The Swan in Beaconsfield!Yum yum!

Atmosphere was great, lovely cosy pub. Starters were great - definitely recommend the buffalo chicken wings. We will definitely be back again

Dom and Alfie were both very lovely and attractive waiters, very attentive, better than their manager (Gina) !! Live music James was so food and waitress Rosie was was also very lovely. Thank you :))))

Good, reasonably priced food. Attentive staff and plenty of outside space.

Very nice place. Quite busy so book before you go. Lovely food as well!

Friendly staff and really helpful. Great atmosphere. Great if you love dogs as it is pet friendly which is always a bonus if you don't have pets and can admire other peoples dogs

We came for lunch last weekend. The atmosphere, the food and the staff were just lovely. It is worth a visit! The gin collection they have on offer is great.

We had a delicious lunch here today. The halloumi wrap was honestly one of the nicest pub meals I’ve had, my husband loved his burger and there was a great kids menu too. The staff were so friendly - I just wish we didn’t live so far away and could go back sooner!

Lovely pub with excellent selections of gins.
