The Swan Inn — Restaurant in London

My husband and I decided to have a night out in Richmond and we stayed at the Swan Inn because of the very reasonable nightly rate. The pub is located on a quiet street within walking distance to the river and along the river there are walking paths with beautiful scenery. It's also only a 10 minute walk to Richmond city centre where there are even more dining and shopping options. The pub appears to be quite popular, as it was reasonably busy even on a Monday night but the service was still great. Toby, the Manager, was working behind the bar. The Swan Inn also has a Thai Restaurant with inside and outside dining which we decided to try; the portions were perfect and the food was delicious (I ordered the Chicken Stir Fry with Oyster Sauce, my husband ordered a Burger as he's not a huge Thai food person, and we shared an appetizer with chicken wings, pork meatballs, and Thai sausages - forgot to take a picture of the entrees but I have attached a picture of the appetizer). They include a free continental and hot breakfast as part of the stay as well, so we both had the Full English Breakfast. The room was well-lit and appeared recently renovated, and it was en-suite which was really nice. Would definitely recommend The Swan Inn to anyone looking to spend the day in the area. Thank you to...

Actually 0 star. Very disappointed, after numerous recommendations I called ahead to book a table for 5 for a roast dinner (carvery) at 2:30. When we arrived just before 2:30 we were informed our table hadn't been reserved.. anyway we got a seat and was told by bar staff to wait 10 minutes as it was busy at the carvery. The carvery wasnt busy there was 3 people in the queue.. the issue was that there was actually no food ready!? We were told again by the kitchen staff to go and wait. The potatoes and parsnips were deep fried and tasteless.. definitely not a roast potaoe. In the end we waited 40 minutes for a very dissapointing roast. Very bad value for money considering how easy a roast dinner is. Next time I'll stay at home and make my own roast dinner cant go wrong with that. If you want a decent roast avoid this place...

We absolutely loved our experience here!

We stayed in the inn upstairs for a couple nights + found our room to be cozy, clean, and exactly what we needed. Breakfast was so helpful in the mornings + had grab-and-go options ready at 7am for early morning airport commutes.

The food downstairs is good! The menu is Thai; our favorite dishes were the Panang + Massaman curries.

We adored the pub in the evenings. The community gathers here like a watering hole to watch football, chit chat with friends, and grab a drink or two. The bartenders and staff were incredibly friendly.

Across from a nice little park, and in a very walkable area with easily accessible public transport (bus + train). I’d advise taking a walk along the River Thames in the mornings. Very close + one of my favorite parts of...
