   Breakfast was a bit disappointed, we were first in and ordered a full breakfast. Tea and coffee arrived with fruit juice and a bottle of water all very good, we waited over 30 minutes before our breakfast arrived no other guests arrived during this time. After all this wait the meal was not hot we did not complain because we were needed to be on our way early

   We only stayed for one night at The Swan Inn as we were attending a 70th birthday party. The room was clean and comfortable with coffee & tea facilities, a pity there were no biscuits. I always like coffee & biscuits after a long drive. We had dinner before we went out, the tapas were delicious. I had an extremely delicious veggie breakfast and I requested for my eggs to be well fried, thank you Chef. Friendly staff especially Yodella, thank you.

   My goodness this restaurant is incredible and delicious! We had a big party of 8 people and service was remarkable. Beautiful atmosphere and wide variety of menu options and lots of gluten free options! Alex took such great care of all of us and went out of his way to make sure all of my dishes were celiac friendly! I highly recommend this spot. The Patatas Bravas were particularly delicious! Thank you Alex!

   Having recently moved to Esher, we are within walking distance of The Swan and have eaten there on a number of occasions in the last 6 months with friends and family. The service is friendly and attentive. The staff are typically knowledgeable about the menu, and the food has always arrived very quickly. The food is excellent, but it would be nice to have a few specials available and maybe some additional ‘Big dishes.’ In a larger group, there is always someone who prefers not to have tapas! We really enjoy the range of seating options available – very helpful with the variable weather that we have during the year. And a special mention for Alex. We have been lucky enough to have him as our waiter on a number of occasions. He is friendly, professional and nothing is ever too much trouble. Many thanks and keep up the good work. We look forward to returning soon.

   We went for a relaxed lunch. This was a return visit after a bad experience in May last year. I’m pleased to say our waiter was lovely, very friendly and informative. The experience was worlds apart from last visit & I would happily recommend to friends and family for a delicious tapas.

   Huge fan Spanish food so thought I would give this place a try for lunch on a Saturday. Really pleased I did. Loved the modern take on traditional Spanish Tapas. Ordered 6 items from the Tapas menu between two adults and each one was fantastic. Had kids with us too and they all cleared their plates although these were more traditional Brit offerings of burgers and sausage. One of the kids has a soya allergy and the waitress provided an allergens chart which was very helpful. Will return and highly recommend!

   Great location if racing at Sandown. Quality of food was excellent but felt menu a little restricted because most of larger "main" tapas dishes required minimum of 2 people to order and as my hubby and I like different foods we struggled a bit. We had extra small dishes which were great but would have liked some of the larger items on menu. Breakfast was one of the best we've had in B & B. Room was really great and well maintained. Toasty and warm once we worked out the heating control. We definitely recommend.

   My partners' family bought us a gift to have dinner, breakfast and over night stay at The Swan Inn. We had some of the tapas. The ibérico ham was oddly presented, hand torn in to little shreds and dotted across the largest plate. The other dishes were just fine. The paella, also included, was basically an unseasoned risotto. Where's the crusty base? Also surprised, and relieved, that there wasn't a seafood option. Sticky toffee pudding for dessert, very good and as expected. Breakfast the next day was simply okay, very weird beans and sausages. Our room was at ground level and quite small. You can easily hear everything happening in the room above, the external street light shone through gaps in the blinds, and the bed itself wasn't that comfortable for me. The bathroom was roughly the size of the bedroom, and had nice decor. Overall, I'm glad to have experienced this as a gift, I wouldn't have gone otherwise and it is unlikely that I will ever go again.
