A great pub just between Chiswick and south Acton. Great Sunday roast options. Chicken was the highlight, full of flavour and herbs. The beef and pork was also pretty good. The pasta was tasty and delicious and desserts were a great way to finish the meal. Only downside was the Yorkshire pudding, which just wasn’t quite right. But still top scores for a great Sunday roast with friendly staff.
This place is in our neighbourhood and we feel lucky that we have got this lovely pub.
Everything is so delicious and staff are so friendly and helpful.

❤️ A classy backstreet pub in W4.
.
The Swan is located in a quite residential backstreet sandwiched between South Acton and Chiswick. South Acton overground is the nearest station, Chiswick Park Tube is also close by.
.
This pub was built in 1871, It is rumoured that the pub survived demolition in the 1970s as part of the building of the Beaconsfield Road Estate close by, apparently the then Leader of the Council was a regular here, I love stories like that.
.
The interior of this pub is traditional, elegant and has an air of 1930’s pub styling about it. There are two bars, the front bar is predominantly set up for drinkers, at the rear is stylish wood panelled dining area. At the back and side of the pub is a large walled courtyard beer garden with plenty of benches to soak up the sun in the warmer months.
.
There is a good selection of beers including three cask ales for the cultured imbibers. My Brother and I decided on pints of Asahi, we both enjoyed our pints, price point was a bit pricey at over seven quid. There is a very popular ever changing Mediterranean style food menu available plus roasts on a Sunday, a chicken roast dinner with all the trimmings cost £22.
.
We arrived just after opening on a Saturday lunchtime and we were the first punters through the door, we received a warm welcome from the staff on duty who were preparing for the days trade. There is a friendly calm about this pub, it had a local neighbourly feel to it which made you feel right at home.

@theswanchiswick is a class act and has an inviting charm about it. The decor is attractive and the vibe makes your stay enjoyable. The beer choice is good if a little premium priced and the food receives good reviews. This is a sister pub to The Atlas in Fulham, this place definitely goes toe to toe with that fine establishment. We really enjoyed our visit here and came away smiling. Get it on you must visit list for this summer.
