The Swan in Chiltern

Fantastic evening celebrating my birthday. Thank you to our waitress Sally who provided a top class service. Food was delicious.

We spent a very nice evening in the Swan Inn Saturday evening. A cozy, clean & nicely furnished little restaurant, with adjoining pub. Service was friendly and efficient; table leg was broken but we were allowed to move another table of our choice. Had a feeling the restaurant prefers to close up earlier, as we were told our Main was ready and being kept warm under a light. Prices were higher than average. Moving onto our food. We started with the Table dish, the 'Charcuterie Board' £19, which we were a little disappointed with - not exactly as descibed, for example it was served on a plate rather than a board, not handcut sausages, as uniform in appearance (like pre-packaged meat), parmesan was shavings & no olives, but it was nevertheless attractive. However, our mains Cheeseburger £20 and Seafood Linguine £21, were very tasty, good quality and attractively served. The Cheeseburger had a lovely sauce accompanying it and the meat was good quality. The Linguine had lots of chorizo, and some prawns and crab in it & two nicely cooked scallops. Overall despite the Charcuterie Board & prices, we were generally happy with our meal and enjoyed our evening out.

The food was lovely, although some of the menu descriptions did not match the food that arrived. The sautéed mushrooms were supposed to have rosemary and sea salt foccacia but these were actually just croutons. The chocolate creme brulee didn't seem to be chocolate at all. It tasted like an ordinary vanilla creme brulee. This was queried, but I was told there was chocolate in it, I don't think there was! All in all the food is fresh and well cooked. Portion sizes are quite small. The ladies toilets are quite grim, and not what I expected, they are not very nice in comparison to the rest of the restaurant and best avoided!

Food was absolutely delicious and the service we received from Sally was excellent! Looking forward to next time already!

Lovely pub, good quality food, affordable prices, clean interior, we had lunch, the waiter was nice and polite. The only reasons I've given three stars is because I ordered the British Rotisserie Chicken which was basically chicken and chips. Not a vegetable in sight. Everything else was all going so well until we ordered desert. The chap who'd been serving us didn't take our order, this was done by a young scruffiIy dressed girl in jeans with loose messy hair, no apron or uniform. I ordered hot drink with a mini desert. Hot chocolate with whipped cream and honeycomb. This came as a hot chocolate drink, no mini desert. I tried to call the waitress as she walked past but she had selective hearing. I eventually got her attention and told her this wasn't what I'd ordered. She completely denied the menu stated whipped cream and honeycomb but offered to put some in which I said no thanks. We started going round in circles as she wasn't listening to me. I then asked where was the mini desert and she said it was on its way. She didn't say anything when she brought the hot chocolate so I assumed she'd forgotten it. My hot drink was cold buy the time the mini desert and the other deserts arrived for the rest of the party. We will go back but we now know what to say to whom.

lovely pub and atmosphere, alongside amazing food, and very friendly staff! we will definitely be coming back soon!!!

On arrival we were shown to a table promptly but was opposite the door to toilets (as we discovered after a few minutes) - we moved which was no problem at all. Waiter came to ask about drinks (very young) and did not seem to understand what we wanted -- had to check whether there was any Bitter available on tap. We chose the Sunday Roast and the meat was fine but some of the vegetables undercooked (parsnips in particular) - we like al dente vegetables but this was way beyond that. Had to request English and French mustard - no French available, the English arrived after about 5 minutes. Also requested Salt & Pepper for the table which never arrived. Tables next to ours had been used when we moved and were left with various items and not cleared away or re-set throughout the time we were at the restaurant (over 1.25 hours). Overall staff seemed very young and more interested in chatting amongst themselves rather than being attentive to diners.

Brought the in-laws for Father’s Day for Sunday lunch. It was very busy but the service was great and the food fantastic. Sally, our server, was brilliant. Would definitely recommend.

Perfect Pub! Enjoyed a lovely meal and drinks after a dog walk, with amazing service from Philly and Millie and compliments to the chefs for beautiful food! Thoroughly enjoyed and will be visiting again.

A great welcome, Fantastic food and great service. Highly recommend for a lovely evening out. We will definitely be coming again.

Excellent Gastropub in old Amersham. Good quality , well presented tasty food at sensible prices. Good selection of dishes Friendly attentive and efficient service from Sally and her team. Vibe is friendly local.

We had a delightful time at The Swan on Sunday. Staff were great, there was a pleasant atmosphere and the roasts top-notch! Thank you - we do recommend.

Sally and the team were brilliant - the food was amazing as always. This was the second time I visited and it didn’t disappoint.

Good food good attentive service , (thank you Sally and Sarah ) I don’t have have any negative to say Overall a lovely evening

Fabulous service, food and surroundings Will definitely be back again soon. Pork belly and scallops was delicious! Highly recommended

Lovely restaurant in a quaint setting. Sally gave us great service for our Sunday lunch, very attentive and the food was outstanding. Highly recommended.

Great trio of roasts and fabulous service from Sally. There was plenty of meat and vegetables were served nice and hot. Thank you.

Booking a table at The Swan is easy via the website which also provides an excellent overview of the place. The food was great with a mix of pub classics and some different options. Even the classics have an additional twist though which is a nice touch. Friendly service from Imogen and Jade, thank you.

Great food range and super Service from Sally We had a meze share plate to start. The main were great my pise was top scoff. Good range of low alcohol beer too!

Great food, drinks and atmos. Our waitress Sally was very helpful and attentive and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening out! Padrons in particular were superb.

Met with many friends for an impromptu sad/reflective event, the staff treated us respectively and generously, thanks to everyone 👍

Met up with friends for lunch at The Swan. Great menu with lots of choice, especially if you fancied something other than a Sunday roast. I had the sea bass which was perfectly cooked. Staff were great, lovely atmosphere. The only thing that let the visit down are the toilets, they are in desperate need of a refurb and hand driers that work.

5 adults who hadn't booked a table for Sunday Dinner were seen too straight away. The excellent staff moved the tables around so that we could all sit together. We had a mixture of food which everybody enjoyed. If there has to be one criticism, it would be on the "Mushy Peas" with the excellent Fish and Chips. A bit more traditional, please. Very good service and price. Highly recommend THE SWAN.

“Wonderful dinner in a lovely setting. Welcoming and relaxed - good choice of food - waitress lovely as always Easy parking outside

Great spot for causal dinning, a perfect date night vibe. Food was great. Atmosphere is great. Can not fault, would defiantly come back.

Great food really enjoyed my chicken and chips with chilli sauce great to see the fire on and everyone enjoying themselves in a quiet period

We really enjoyed our meal - good food and service was attentive without being overpowering. Pork belly was a favourite!

Such a lovely Christmassy pub, fantastic service even with a very large party to handle (which has not affected us at all!) the food was beautiful and our server Sally was just fabulous. Will return!

Lovely crab linguine and good solid rotisserie chicken with aioli. Probably worth booking ahead - people do book tables (apparently)

Great food at a reasonable price and a lovely atmosphere. Sally is knowledgeable and helpful and always welcoming.

Great food, especially the veggie main and lovely waitress. I will be coming back soon, with friends and family. Thank you for a super evening.

Best place in Amersham. Excellent service from Sally and Sarah. Best burger I’ve had in years and the Guinness was perfect too

The lunch deal is good value. The waiter Ollie was professional end efficient. Fish and chips were hot and tasty but mushy peas need marrow at peas not garden peas. Great crumble dessert. Worth a visit.

Amazing roast, and cosy warm setting! Great value for money and all the food came out in a good amount of time and was all an excellent standard!

Had a delicious lunch with my friends. My allergies were catered to well. I had the chicken burger which was amazing. I was served by Minty and Eleanor who were very kind and friendly. Would definitely recommend this place.

Amazing food and Sally was amazing as our waitress. Great service whilst with a big group of friends

Friday evening dinner with a friend. Cosy, quiet. Perfect for a natter. Very easy to park right outside the door for free.

Really nice food and service was excellent. Couldn't be better. New menu is good. Thoroughly recommended.

The staff were very welcoming, efficient and helpful. The food for five people, consisting of fish, beef, pasta and a curry, was uniformly of high quality, hot and delicious. The price for food and wine was very reasonable. What more could you want?

We enjoyed our visit to the Swan with family from Australia and were made very welcome by our waitress Sally. The meal was delicious as was the wine.

First time in here for a Sunday lunch at the last minute and it didn’t disappoint! Mix trio roast was amazing, generous portions topped off with exceptional & friendly service from Sally!

Sally played a blinder . I am not verbose enough to write anymore. Looks like I have to be otherwise I don’t get to 100 minimum characters.

We’ve just had a delicious Sunday lunch at the Swan in Amersham. The roasts are very tasty with nice veg and spuds and fab Yorkshire puddings and sumptuous puddings. And good value . We’re all very full and content. Sally was great. We’ll be back.

Beautiful pub, food was great and service from sally was fantastic! Recommended for family, couples and friends. Sunday roast is a must

A warm welcome awaits you at The Swan! Well proportioned servings, and a fabulous mix of flavours too. Service was friendly and non intrusive. We were served by the lovely Sally who provided us with the perfect Sunday lunch 🙂. Thank you!

Excellent and tasty food, affordable, very good service, nice atmosphere, well kept beer. Highly recommended! Worth a visit whenever you're in Amersham.

Wow, we came here expecting pub grub It was so much more. I had seafood linguine which was superb. The starters of padron peppers and salt n pepper squid were to die for. Sally our waitress was fantastic. Totally recommend this place

Our waitress sally was excellent and the food and venue to match too. We are from the area and will look to come again soon.

Great service from Sally as always. And the dirty burger was a dream! We always have a a lovely time when we come here.

Lovely food. Served when asked but had to keep asking. No checking food was OK, luckily it was very nice. Some staff very friendly, one lady rude and unwelcoming.

Staff were very friendly, especially our server Oliver. Food was absolutely delicious and the pizza and pork belly were amazing! (Thanks to Patrick and Kristov). Only thing I would say is maybe slightly understaffed as sometimes hard to order another drink.

Had a lovely meal and the staff were great, only disappointing thing was the ladies toilets, very dirty all stained, toilet brushes all rusty, hand dryer not working and filthy dirty underneath it Otherwise a good place to go and eat
