Ye Olde Swan Restaurant in Milton Keynes

Reviews

   The place carries itself with that quiet, old-world charm Milton Keynes sometimes hides away, and Ye Olde Swan leans into it beautifully. The moment you step through the door, the fire is already doing half the welcoming for you. It crackles with the sort of confidence only a well-loved pub can have, throwing out a glow that makes the whole room feel settled and familiar. I have to travel half the city to get here, but worth it!

   Starters were exceptional and the sticky toffee pudding was also great. The mains were a little disappointing but only because we've eaten better elsewhere, nothing wrong that a bit of seasoning didn't fix. They're due for a renovation and we look forward to going back when they reopen.

   We love to dine out as a family. It has been a long time since we have actual dined in a restaurant that ticked every single box. This had a local pub feel and the pub/restaurant was very busy. However it wasn't your rowdy noisy feel but that of a family atmosphere with a cosy feel to it. We was seated at our table and felt relaxed. Our waitress was friendly, full of good banter, and knew her drinks and food. Our food arrived and timings were perfect. The quality of food was unbelievable. Flavours exploded and tantalised the taste buds. If I had to fault them only thing think should be changed is to bring kids meal out first. Apart from that absolutely amazing. Everything was excellent. We had an amazing evening and will definitely be back. Update.... we have been back numerous times since this initial visit and we really can't fault the place. Professional friendly service like the good old days. Food is second to none. Since this post we have always had little ones food brought out first.

   Popped in today for an impromptu lunch date with the wife and was pleasantly surprised to see it wasn't overly busy. We were seated by a member of staff and ordered drinks and a meal: Cajun Chicken Burger and a Salad with Chilli Squash on top; the food was delicious and well presented. This pub is such a nice environment to chill out in, greatly located in Wroughton-on-the-green with plenty of parking. A well deserved 5 stars from me today, thank you.

   This is a lovely pub but very disappointed with the seafood food and how the complaint was handled. I got the seafood grill which was £17 and advertised on the menu as king prawns, sea bass and salmon. When I went to order they said they were out of salmon so they are substituting it cod. I said I wasn't a fan of cod but they wouldn't let me choose hake with it or did not offer more prawns or sea bass. There were only 2 king prawns on the plate and 2 tiny bits of sea bass and the rest cod. It was very bland and for £17 the portions were so small. Barely and salad or potatoes. If substituting an expensive fish like salmon for cod then the price shouldn't have been so expensive. Unfortunately I did not enjoy this meal. My friend ordered a steak and that was bland too. When speaking to the lady manager about this she said there's nothing they can do and appear quite rude. Turns out that the salmon substitute was a long term issue and hasn't been rectified on the menu. I was told they have no control over their own menus then the lady left. No-one even asked how the food was. The chef needs to consider flavour more in this meal and the managers need to consider reducing the price if they are going to use one of the cheapest fishes cod. Nice venue for drinks but I will not be eating there again

   Nicest pub I have ever been in for over 10 years. The 2 star is for the food unfortunately. I was absolutely fuming. My wife spent £17 on a fillet burger with beef and the fillet was maybe 3mm thick with 2 on onion rings on top. This in my opinion is an absolute con. I was fuming and had to say something. The menu also says its 1850!!!! Calories. Im a personal trainer and nutritionist and can promise you this is not correct. Even with fried chips. The gentleman who seated us was lovely and took her dessert off the bill which was appreciated. I only wish I took a photo! I had steak and chips which was really nice although again the portion size was small and I could have eaten 2 of them! Yeah absolutely beautiful pub. I would love to come again as the service was brilliant but just can't give more than 2 stars for the food.
