Never had a problem in the Swan but never mind.
If you want to push to boat out The Crab at Chieveley is the best place I have ever eaten. The service was second to none, however it was a couple of years ago so I cannot say what it is like now.
The Swan isn't bad, but it has periods when the food's been good and other periods when the food is not something you'd go out of your way for... We're in one of those periods just now (new chef I think or new menu not up to much) It's my local, so I'm not giving it grief, it's just that I'd suggest it's a place for a beer rather than a family meal just now....
As for The Crab...!
Boy...! Great food but I must admit.. I've had better ....But I don't think I've
EVER had to pay so much on the final bill!! And they were very snooty about me taking my kids in there (and they were 14 and 16 at the time so knew how to hold cutlery...
