10/10The roast chicken was really good. The service was good too. And perfect to dine there after visiting the Farnborough Air Sciences Trust next door, literally

9.5/10Good food and beer, can't remember the ale, it might have been a guest ale. Couple on table next to us, really were getting into the "Valentines" spirit, but hey they're young lol! I'd come again... Visit that is!😂👍

5/10The roast looked amazing and I wanted to love it, and nobody in our party complained as it was a birthday treat and would seem rude..but the meat was chewy, the veg raw, the gravy was water, roast potatoes were soggy and the Yorkshire pudding was also soggy. To top it off it was all rather cold. Oh and the cauliflower cheese was actually still frozen in the middle.

10/10We had the Sunday roast beef. Quality and quantity excellent. Good selection of vegetables which were cooked to perfection - not overcooked as is often the case at other places we have dined. Service was prompt and friendly.

5.5/10extremely underwhelming Cesar salad, just lots of lettuce and a few breadcrumbs. Pork belly was just 2 tiny slices, veg was good, 3 big roast potatoes and well... huge Yorkshire pudding that really doesn't serve any purpose

8/10The Swan is a regular of ours but tonight the food wasn't great. Plenty of it but not that tasty The staff were friendly and helpful and it is definitely a nice place to have a drink as the sun goes down.

9/10As usual the food and service was excellent. Unfortunately since our last visit the pub has stopped selling Pilsner Urqell which was a main attraction for using The Swan. Although the pub still has a number of good beers, it would appear that they are going for the main chain beers.

4.5/10Very disappointing. Our first visit and we all looked at menu and waitress came to take our order. We were told everything we had ordered was not available so had to re choose. After 5 minutes waitress came back and said it was available. Food was disappointing, not particularly hot and risotto had so much salt only ate half

10/10The whole meal was outstanding. I was taking my Mum and Dad out, as it's Fathers Day. The only two faults I have are..... When producing the bill at the table the cost was clearly visible to see by others at the table. Would have been nice to have had the bill folded so it wasn't. When physically paying the sum was called out loud so everyone could hear. Would have much preferred more discretion at billing and payment. I haven't marked the venue down as the waitresses were very attentive, and the food so good. Would definitely eat here again, but more discretion please.

10/10The Swan is really becoming the community pub for the area. The staff are really welcoming and always friendly, and with a massive garden where you can watch the planes coming in and out of the airport, it's perfect for a summer drink.

9/10Friendly staff. Good food and decent portions. Children's menu is great. Be aware that starters and mains all arrive together which is a bit odd.

7/10
The service and staff were excellent. Disappointed with choice of menu, what we had was acceptable but overpriced. We hadn’t been to the Swan for years but thought we would try it for our 50 wedding anniversary, we were in and out in one hour, no one else there. I wouldn’t go again.
