The Old Swan in Kensington and Chelsea

Decent English pub, atmosphere is ok, service is a bit hit or miss. Someone kept leaving the door open in 0 degC weather. Also the fish and chips was not great. Very oily and mushy...the natural peas were fine. Don't spend extra for bread and butter! It's literally white loaf bread slices with some butter....

Beer was flat, didn't attempt to take back but was rubbish and should be lively from 1st pour, as a very experienced bartender I wouldn't risk again without sample 1st, dead beer.

Good beer, good environment, good screens to watch sports.

Pretty much a daily regular here. Staff have always been great and making an effort. Solid drinks selection will definitely give their roast a go

I waited for around 30-40 minutes on my food. When it came out my tomato’s were slightly burned and my bbq chicken wasn’t seasoned but drenched in cheddar cheese. Fries were good.

La comida era terrible, ninguno de nosotros terminó nuestras comidas. Tomamos el sándwich de pavo, el sándwich de goujon de pescado y la hamburguesa festiva. No volvería.

Lots of classic English eats, cosy vibe, typical English pub atmosphere

The pub itself is nice, the beer is good, but in terms of the meal, it's really far from that!!! However, we chose a burger with cheese and bacon, normally nothing could be easier! Alas, we have to believe that no: perfectly cooked steak, completely dry bread, cold fries, I'm still looking for the cheese in the burger and my husband didn't have any bacon... The table, sticky, obviously didn't have not been cleaned either...

We came as a group for a Christmas lunch last week. The staff were super friendly and the service was great. However, the Turkey Dinner and most other food my group was served was one of the worst meals we have ever had to pay for. Turkey was cold and not fresh, brussel sprouts were so undercooked we couldn’t cut through it, potatoes looked frozen then microwaved and the stuffing was a burnt square that was unrecognizable. The food was barely edible. The staff were super apologetic. I would go back but only for drinks.

Elise was great bar woman. The best and most immaculate pints were served along with the food. I can’t thank Elise enough for everything she did for our trip to this pub in Kensington. Happy Christmas to all, especially Elise.

Gran cerveza buena vibra tuvo una muy buena noche sin duda volveré a visitar ¿Recibiría el peroni it es muy efervescente

Pub in Nottingham with good food and great beer

Place to be on the weekends. Open till 01:00 🕐, but on weekdays 23:00 🕚. Had some epic times here, chilled 😎 staff and the super 👌 crowd 🤝 of course. Cheers 🍻

Came last week the food was great and the service from Elise was great. Will be back soon

Had a beautiful time over here, little hidden gem with traditional British food and lovely atmosphere. Definitely recommending to visit and try fish and chips or steak and ale pie. Lovely selection of beers and gins as well. 🥰

Tuvimos una experiencia encantadora cenando temprano en Old Swan. El pub tiene un hermoso interior y en sí está muy limpio. Hermoso bar con un montón de selección de ginebras, que son mis favoritos. Fish and chips es exuberante. Recomiendo visitar.

Typical British pub with great selection of beers. Loved the level head session IPA and fling eye lager we've been recommended, these are directly coming from their Brewery and they're tasty. Definitely worth to visit and try yourself, staff is very friendly and efficient.

The volume of the TV\music was extremely high I couldn't even hear my friend next to me

I recently had an incredible experience at the Old Swan Pub! From the moment I walked in, the cozy atmosphere and charming decor made me feel right at home. The staff were welcoming and attentive, providing excellent service throughout the evening. The drink selection was impressive, featuring a great variety of local ales and classic cocktails. I opted for a seasonal brew that was refreshing and flavorful—a perfect complement to the evening. The food was equally noteworthy. I tried their hearty pub fare, and everything was cooked to perfection. The flavors were spot on, and the portion sizes were generous. Overall, the Old Swan Pub is a fantastic spot for a casual night out, whether you’re looking to enjoy drinks with friends or indulge in some delicious comfort food. I can’t wait to return for another enjoyable experience!

Nice place with great food and service!

Great time here, dog friendly, good vegan food great selection of pints and plenty of space. Stefan was also a great server 👍

Amazing experience! Stefan was really nice and friendly with us. I will surely come back soon.

Very friendly service. We ate well at a very reasonable price.

Maybe it’s because I came on an off day but this was sadly pretty mid. Service was very slow considering it was half empty and our fish & chips took SO long to come out only for it to be a bit soggy. ☹️

Fantastic staff will definitely visit again

Stefan is the dude. Decent burger too. My mate paid £25 for food and drink but I laid £16

My friend got her purse stolen while we were there. The staff refused to show us CCTV, said they would only do it with the cops. We got the cops involved and they told them the cctv doesn’t exist. The pub didn’t help us and this is an unsafe place for woman!!

Theft at Old Swan – Not Recommended On October 4th, 2024, I was robbed at the Old Swan – my bag was stolen. I was seated at a table near the bar and a pillar, a relatively secluded spot where staff frequently came by to check if my friend and I were okay. Their attentiveness during our meal, however, sharply contrasted with their inaction and lack of assistance following the incident. It was a quiet day, not crowded at all. The manager, Luce, was initially hesitant to provide information but mentioned they had CCTV cameras, though they would only show the footage in the presence of the police. While that is somewhat understandable, on October 16th, I was informed that despite what I had been told on the day of the theft—about the footage clearly identifying the culprit—they claimed to the police that no CCTV footage was available. I am extremely disappointed by this lack of transparency and the handling of the situation. I will never return.

Stay away from this place if you don’t want to get robbed! A robbery happened and the establishment did absolutely nothing to help, even denying the sharing of security footage, which prevents you from identifying the criminal.

Great place with fine range of beverages.

Never got my food. Refunded though thanks

Amazing place, good food and friendly service, especially Stefan😊

Stefan was an excellent host! Loved the food and the atmosphere! Really felt comfy and warming

Fui aquí a almorzar tarde. Servicio excepcional por Elieze. ¡Fue muy útil! Definitivamente volveré. Gracias de nuevo Elieze

Popped en para el almuerzo, gran pub con buena comida de ambiente y un servicio increíble de Elieze! Sin duda volveremos!

Nice little pub for a good meal. Nice atmosphere and decor, nice selection of beers and good service from friendly staff.

"Old Swan Restaurant exceeded my expectations! Quality food, expertly prepared and presented. Impressive alcohol selection, including craft beers and premium spirits. Cocktails were expertly mixed. Hospitality was top-notch; warm, welcoming staff ensured our every need was met. Perfect for romantic evenings or nights out with friends. Book in advance and try signature dishes and cocktails. Highly recommended!

Beer and burger deal was well worth the price. Chicken burger was great as well as the bacon hamburger.

Very good food and service. Stephan was great

Very good service staff very friendly

Great selection of beers. Amazing staff. Can’t wait to come back.

£4.60 for a small glass of Coca Cola. £1 more than a half pint

Stefon and the other bartender were great. We loved the food and vibe!

Great pub with a nice chilled atmosphere thought to try out and was pleased with friendly service of Stefan and food was really nice at a good price. Would definitely come again and recommend to anyone just in area that wants to go to a chilled place for drinks and food

Great place to eat. Good prices, good food great service. I Will come back my next time in london

Great food great service! Stefaan was very welcoming at the bar and took great care of us!

Great pub right across the tube station. Plenty of screens for matches. Amazing service by Elise and Emir!

Good pub Nice atmosphere good food. Well managed 👏👏👏

Fantastic meal away with the family. The food from Jem was fantastic and the service from Charlotte was great. They were also very accommodating for a big group last minute. Highly recommend.

What a great place to end a quick trip to London Football, beers and food were great 😋 Shout out to Elize for a great service, thanks for the suggestion.

Wonderful staff. Kind and attentive service. Highly recommended.

We had been two years ago and now that we are back in London, we returned to enjoy the food and atmosphere of Old Swan. Everything was delicious and spectacular and Eli's attention was very warm!

Elieze Charrelle was very polite and she made us feel very welcome. The food was amazing, would definitely come back!

I recently visited the Old Swan and had an absolutely wonderful time! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, especially Elieze, always with a smile and makes sure you have everything you need. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it.

Really nice pub and Elieze provided excellent service! I look forward to coming back.

The Old Swan has an amazing atmosphere, food and drink was great as always (shoutout to Elise for the first class service). Will be back for sure.

Elieze and aj were great .excellent service. I am proud they serve me in my local.

Stopped here for lunch and had an amazing few hours. Was served by the amazing Elieze who was so helpful and accommodating. Will definitely return soon.

Had a wonderful evening, loved the atmosphere! Standout service from Elieze, she made our evening.

Went for lunch and had a lovely experience! Elieze was so friendly and able to suggest some new gins I had never tried before. Highly recommend!

Great staff and food, Elieze is amazing 😊

Very good vibe and super friendly staff. The food is great, it’s a must to try the classic “Stake and Ale Pie”.

Great service! Amazing staff Ellis, Neeraj and Anupam are really good at what they do! Coming again forsure

Didn’t order food but it’s good pub food, atmosphere good but service is why I’m writing this now. Somebody pushed in front of me and this Emir, told me don’t worry I got you and served them and me at the same time. Top man and top service. thanks Emir 👍🏼

emir and AJ were fantastic!!! service and food and drinks were amazing

Amazing experience in Old Swan. Food are really good and staff are really helpful.

They were very friendly, they recommended beers to us and the dishes were incredible. No place like it in all of London.

We had a very enjoyable meal. Good menu with very tasty food. We loved the atmosphere here. Definitely a, must stop at, for tourists and locals, alike.

Amazing staff and exceptional performance by those working there today! Will come a few times a week.

Very cozy and friendly environment. The staff was very attentive easy to spark up conversation with, Emir was super friendly and helpful. I asked for recommendations and they did not disappoint. The trio of fries were amazing, definitely recommend! Will be visiting again next trip!

I had an amazing time at the Old Swan. I was thoroughly impressed throughout my visit to the pub and was treated with the utmost respect. Major shout-out to Emir, who was friendly and engaging throughout my stay. His energetic and friendly demeanour really added an extra level of hospitality to my visit. The food was really good, and I especially enjoyed the fish and chips plus the onion rings. Overall, I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a lively and friendly atmosphere with good food and great vibes.

I received great service and felt nice atmosphere at Old Swan. I was served by Neeraj who I would have to say was very friendly and welcoming. Would definitely come back and recommend to friends.

I was pickpocketed on my way from the buffet where I ordered the food to the table in the almost empty pub. The manager didn't react. The lunch was not very tasty. Avoid this place.

Lovely food, friendly and helpful staff (Neeraj)!

I celebrated my birthday there! The vibes were immaculate and it’s super cosy. Ashmit is really nice and made sure my friends and I had a great time. It’s definitely worth visiting if you’re in Notting Hill. Cheers!

They have amazing fish and chips and the staff (Neeraj) was also really helpful

Great experience!! Thanks for the amazing service Ashmit and Gracy!!

Typical English pub. Very good food, not at all greasy and very good value for money. The bathroom area lacks a bit of cleanliness and for that reason I don't give 5 stars. The attention was magnificent from a girl and a boy who attended to us. We would return without hesitation.

Best ever the manager so nice Adam thank you for the best service and the food was so nice we be back soon and I recommend this place

If you're looking for English pub food, this is your place.

I have been served by ashmit, Gracy and emir they were very friendly. Definitely coming back 😁

Better had walet in hands because if weird sound started playing and someone if someone from personel is next to you you are getting pickpoket

Cozy and friendly pub. We had mac & cheese and a sandwich, all very delicious and quick to serve. They decorated the Guinness foam, small gestures that make you smile. We enjoyed the food in a good environment.

My friend and I were starving when we came here and left with feeling the same.

Beautiful pub to have a drink indoors or outdoors. Food and drink were amazing, and Robert behind the bar was extremely polite and helpful!

Ashmit, gracy and Anupam are doing a great job. Loved the bar. Amazing vibe. Cheers

Great service! Anupam and Ashmit are stars!

Great place to grab a drink! You have to stop by !!!!

Terrible impressions, especially from one waitress (dark hair, short, dark skin (not sure but similar to Indian nationality) terrible attitude on her part towards us, the problem was that I did not have a passport (I am 27) my friend had , and we provided all the photo confirmation and document (not the passport other than confirming the identity to another waiter) this lady spoke in a terrible tone, terrible intonation, showed all her negative thoughts in the niche, after that, this is the last visit here, and all the negative recommendations from us, by the way, the boy waiter (bartender) was excellent, there would be no bad feedback if the girl had learned a little courtesy, her tone, intonation, as she spoke to me, is unacceptable

Sehr freundliche Bedienung, Vorallem Anupam in Notting Hill. Hat uns noch ein paar Geheimtipps gegeben. Leckeres Essen und preisleistung stimmt. Definitiv einen Besuch wert!

Pub where you can breathe typical London air, very friendly staff and excellent food. Prices not exaggerated for London.

This was a wonderful local place to come to have supper or even just a cold beverage and an appetizer. Prices were good and the beverages were cold. Staff went out of their way to make you feel comfortable. Remember to order at the bar to start!

Great Environment and Great Food.

Amazing service and staff definitely recommend

Lovely bar sport, staff very kind and attentive, fast service with good selection of taps . Recommend steak and ale pie and fish and chips

Great service and atmosphere. Coming from the USA and this being the first pub to visit did not disappoint. Will be back on September with the rest of the family.

Thanks to a random IG post, this has been on my list. Conveniently, it wasn't far from where we concluded a day of touring and shopping about 400-ish. Quiet neighborhood, not busy. It was very warm inside but only 2-tops on the sidewalk, so in we went, settled in just in time to see some Summer Olympics on one side and Harry Potter on the other! We opted to get their 5 small plates for $28 with a salad. The pulled beef croquettes were OK, the chili sauce did nothing for the squid, and the salad was the most peppery arugula/rocket salad I've ever had. But everything else was standout, even lemony squid alone, so much that we order another goujons and fries. Husband doesn't even like fish and he really enjoyed the lightness and flavor. Staff were lovely and checked on us a few times, bringing extra plates and napkins without asking. The bathrooms were generally clean but maybe the heat/humidity just made them seem more summer clammy,

Pet friendly , warm and helpful staffs , good food , cozy environment, definitely will come back again.

Very friendly pub with very professional and helpful members. Food was nice and delicious as well, Surely we are going to visit again...

This pub feels really cozy, but energetic at the same time. You can watch sports while you enjoy your beer or your food. The burger and the Mac and Cheese were really good. But what actually made the evening were the Sticky Chicken sticks. The owner himself is also very friendly. It’s defenitly a recommendation!
