2 nights in a roll to eat with my coworkers while traveling.
Went out with coworkers and one of them definitely loved food. Not usually my meal but I decided to try a British meal - signature mixed grill with chicken breast, pork sausage, black pudding, gammon steak (ham), and steak. Not leaving the fried egg out. Very interesting plate. Wish I had more vegetables but this is a good plate. Chicken and the sausage were my favorite on the plate. Also learned fries = chips, chips = crisps, dessert = pudding. #britishhfood #miltonkeynes #britishenglish
Another full plate - coronation chicken which was marinated with curry. There was a hint of curry and the chicken was roasted well - unfortunately, not much flavor. Finished with the help of ketchup. Need more flavor, more salt would make a big difference. Another great night with my European coworkers! I probably drank my whole year of alcohol in this short trip. #miltonkeynes #britishfood #coronationchicken
I have been here quite a few times on and off over the years, some good, some not so good memories. But changes in the last few years have seen the Swan up it's game.
Firstly the welcome was fantastic - very friendly, we were shown to our seats. It's a cost, low beamed place so great in winter, especially with the log fires that they keep going . We ordered drinks and they arrived very quickly after ordering, a welcome change from other places I have been to recently.
We chose from the lunch specials menu - 2 courses for £12.95, pretty good value for MK. There was a slight delay for our starters to arrive - smoked beetroot and mascarpone cream, an odd combination. Tbh, I did not get much smoke from the beetroot so it was a bit disappointing. But ok as it goes.
Main course came just as we needed it, and was freshly cooked (the proper way not microwaved!) haddock and gruyere fishcakes with a tomato and spinach sauce - yum!!!
We decided to miss dessert (have to watch the calories this early in the week) but again they had decaffeinated espresso and serve after dinner drinks with Maltesers - bliss :). All of this with great service.
It was my friend's first time there, and she will definitely go back as will I :)
Very good! Excellent menu and beers! Log fire in winter, sunny garden in summer. Nice atmosphere and great staff. Go on impress someones missus!
