Poor service and hugely expensive. Avoid. bumpsfelt - 10 Jan 2017 12:35 |
Up and down, service has been known to be slow. The food is generally acceptable at a heavy price, the beer however is very good. EyeOfTheTigerBeer - 14 May 2012 19:47 |
Shocking service as all the reviews here will tell you. Used to be a very good pub when first done but all this is now is a showboating gastro pub where Surrey wives can gloat over a ridiculously priced glass of wine. We went there last week after numerous visits, had a one course meal which took over an hour to arrive. We were ignored by staff throughout, not asked if we wanted drinks, when we askeed for drinks they were forgotten, dessert menus we had to ask for and when delivered we were ignored for 20 minutes. The waiter during service took 25 minutes to clear our plates away, and when doing so proceeded to kick a knife he had dropped on the floor around the dining room like it was a football. This place needs to sort it's service out big time. I emailed them about this, and never heard a sausage back. Bitterly, bitterly disappointing. Dizeee - 14 May 2012 09:30 |
Often go the the Black Swan and have taken various groups of friends to eat and share the history of the place. Food can best be described as variable, sometimes very good and sometimes shocking. Staff are also a bit hit and miss, from smiles and prompt service to giving you the feeling that you are a damned inconvenience and getting in their way as they endevour to run a 'classy' venue. The wine by the glass is truly shocking in quality, they need to have words with their Vintner. The beer is often in very poor condidtion and if you do draw their attention to this you get the 'tastes ok to me' speech, I've been doing this beer drinking for years and I think I know what it is supposed to taste like by now. Overall, great location, super expensive place for the rich to chow down, oh and I have it on very good authority that the ladies are an absolute disgrace. fetchman - 31 Mar 2012 17:03 |
Had to wait 5 minutes to get served (I'd have walked out except I was meeting someone here). And I was the only person at the bar apart from two off-duty staff members who already had drinks. The service is usually bad, but somehow it seems to be getting worse. If it wasn't for the food, it wouldn't be worth going at all Gzornenplat - 15 Dec 2011 15:50 |
