The Swan has been closed for 11 months due to flooding from its idyllic setting on the River Thames. We visited yesterday afternoon for a late lunch/early dinner, eager to see the refurbishment. We were not disappointed - in fact we were absolutely delighted! The men and food presentation has gone up a notch, the staff are friendly, the refurbishment tasteful and fresh looking. We are delighted to see The Swan up and running again as it is within walking distance for us, and for visitors to Pangbourne, just opposite the railway station (trains from Didcot, Reading and Paddington) Dog friendly - customer friendly - perfect! p.s. we were delighted by the prawn curry, cheeseburger, cherry and almond crumble, and rhubarb and custard knickerbocker glory ;D

Really delicious unpretentious menu and all cooked perfectly. Staff are both attentive and unobtrusive at the same time. Wonderful Ale and Lager selection and the wines available appealing to all tastes and wallet. Open fires so welcoming and the ambiance is cosy and warm.

We were made welcome and the restaurant gave the impression of high standards, with nice features, well maintained decor and clean in appearance. Having made a visit on a recommendation, we were anticipating a reasonably enjoyable meal. The starters were enjoyable, the crispy prawns and soup of the day were delicious and served with warm bread and French butter. The pork belly was enjoyable and the presentation was very good. However the beer battered cod was a huge let down. It looked great, with crispy batter, and served with a huge portion of chips, but the fish had a weird heavy dense texture reminiscent of Spanish salted cod (it wasn't)- and was very disappointing. The chocolate brownie and the waffle dessert helped make up the disappointment.

I think this pub must have changed owners over the past few years. It was always full of walkers. It was always our go to pub when we wanted good food and a great atmosphere. My (frozen) fish and chips was very hot despite being served on a freezing cold plate. The waitress smoking directly outside the window did not help. Hopefully they will address some of these issues and get back to serving, great pub food at a reasonable price.
