About this restaurant

  • Romantic
  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
A short distance from the picturesque town of Burford, yet a million miles from the hustle and bustle of busy everyday life, The Swan is the perfect place to relax, socialise and unwind. We like to think of this Cotswolds country inn as the ‘bubble’

    We took American guests to the Swan and they greatly enjoyed the atmosphere, the history and the food. We all enjoyed ourselves and the staff looked after us brilliantly. Thank you.

    We both enjoyed a light lunch - two different starters each - and were healthy meals without upsetting our diets! The Swan is in a lovely position and we have been there many times and never disappointed. Staff are always kind and courteous and always have a kind welcome and a dog biscuit for my little dog which is one of the reasons why we keep returning! - we will be back again soon!

    Fantastic food in a beautiful, interesting setting. Let down by the very poor service e.g constantly chasing up drink orders, food arriving at 20 minute intervals (the same course) so our party of 4 couldn't eat together - reminded us of Fawlty Towers!!

    Lovely pub in a delightful small village. Good to get away from the crowds that the Cotswolds now attract and have a well cooked and presented meal with friends.

    Lovely setting, fabulous to walk there from Burford if you fancy adding some exercise into your Sunday lunch activities. The only thing that could improve the experience is if they were quicker. We waited for 3/4 of an hour for our roast. And ordering drinks took ages too as there was only one member of staff behind the bar. This has been true for other times I have visited. So, if they speeded-up the whole service they would get a 5 star review.
