   If you appreciate good old-fashioned London character and a welcoming smile at the breakfast buffet table, The Swan Inn is the place for you ! Three weeks B & B there while spending every daytime at West Middx hospital has been a most interesting and pleasant experience . Sadly, I was not in a position to sample the menu and the bar, other than breakfast, which certainly set me up for the day ! An extremely cosy traditional hostelry, especially if you are a football fan ! I would very happily return, hopefully under different circumstances, if the necessity arises. Thank you, Toby.

   Wow. Absolutely blown away by the quality of service and the experience we had at The Swan Inn. We were in town for a wedding and wanted to stay an extra night around London before heading home. The rooms were clean, quaint, and cozy. The staff was some of the friendliest and most accommodating people I’ve met while here. Food was fantastic and I was lucky enough to experience their full carvery on Sunday. The location is close enough to Heathrow to make it an easy trip for our flight out, but aside from the few lovely pubs and parks there isn’t a ton to do in the immediate area. But it’s an easy bus or cab across the Thames to explore. Looking forward to our next visit to The Swan Inn!

   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 Toby and staff!

   The Swan in Isleworth is a simple, fun pub with rooms close to the river. A selection of Fuller's beers on tap and a fabulous looking Thai menu, cheap and very cheerful looking. Unfortunately, I did not take advantage of eating, so many pubs, so little time. A very homely feeling to this place with a great loyal bunch of local customers to help things along. Oh, and the odd plane passing overhead, no idea where they are going, so low!

   Gone down hill a lot. Most expensive carvery I've been too and also the worst. The majority of the food had no taste. It was so bland. And also it's still not self service. Whole point of a carvery is helping yourself. It was very slow, only one woman serving the meat so the line was long and took a long time to move. They forgot the beans on my child's food. It was really disappointing.

   Food is disgusting! We had bangers and mash. Mash potatoes was from powder and badly mixed, horrible lumps everywhere and slushy. I never had such an awful mash in my life. Everything was in a bath of gravy. Better say it was gravy soup with powder mash. Very simple dish completely ruined

   Very disappointed in the carvery last Sunday. While the meat was tasty the gravy was thin and Yorkshire pudding inedible, parsnips undercooked with rubbery non existent crackling. . The Swan was my go to for the best local Sunday roast but not any more. The catering staff may do excellent Thai food but don’t quite understand what is required in a proper Sunday roast.

   Stayed here for 3 nights due to a conference in the neighbourhood. Room was clean and the bathroom was great. The first night it was the weekly returning quiz night, and we were delighted to join. We enjoyed it really and did not even end up in last place. The food is good, especcially the curry and the fried duck. Staff was helpful and friendly. Only the breakfast could be better. 4/5 stars. Definitely will come back once I need to be there again. Thanks!

   It's been a quite a while since visiting this lovely pub near the Thames. Unfortunately, I won't be in a hurry to go back. The service was truly awful. Whatever the problem, the first person behind the bar was cantankerous and was in a hurry to end her shift. The next person obviously had a few personal issues and was hardly a picture of happiness. Overall the service was so slow I could've popped over to the Castle over the road had a pint and would still have been waiting to be served. I give it two stars because the Thai food we had was nice, served quickly by a nice lady. The night was a reunion of sorts. Sadly won't go back for another long while, if ever again.
