The Swan

The Swan Review

In the center of Broadway, this pub-restaurant makes a handy stop for a snack, lunch, a drink, or something more substantial. Service may be occasionally slapdash and the place can get congested, but on a weekday it's cozy and convivial, with an open fire in winter and comfortable seating. The imaginative decor blends the traditional and trendy with large mirrors, a wood-paneled bar, and eye-catching knick-knacks. Among the hot dishes you're likely to find fillet steak with grilled mushrooms and watercress, or duck breast in a plum and roasted beetroot sauce; watermelon and feta salad is one of the favorites on the tempting light lunch menu. There's a good wine cellar and plenty of cask ales, too.
