We visited Chapel Down yesterday on the Wine Tour/Tasting & Tea! It was a glorious sunny day, which no doubt helped. An interesting, enthusiastic guide named Russell spent an hour touring and chatting. Who knew it was so complex and yet my husband and I love the complexities of a good wine served with delicious food. Russell, was a terrific guide and he excelled when it came to the tasting. Congratulations to everyone that works so hard to make it so great! We loved it so much we stayed for supper at The Swan Chapel Down. Simon, The Chef completed our day perfectly. The food was wonderful and every morsel of the taster menu he provided was perfectly cooked and presented. What a talent. Michael the Manager picked us a brilliant bottle of wine to accompany dinner, it was only made better by his enthusiasm. Thank you very much to everyone, each person we interacted with made it a day we won't forget!
Delicious
Went there for lunch having seen the reviews but was astonished by the whole experience.
From the start staff are polite interested and highly professional. Not a huge Sunday lunch menu but frankly I would happily have had almost every dish.
I had the smoked mackerel starter and it was quite exceptional with astonishingly delicious elements.
Main course was the most amazing black treacle beef with an added pomme anna instead of roasts (by request) dessert was a coffee panna cotta with espresso ice cream and milk foam.
Only complaint was the beef came with gravy despite asking for none, but that's so minor an issue for what was a quite exceptional lunch beautifully cooked and presented. Superb breakfast with a great industrial sized Yorkshire.
I cannot offer any negative observation regarding the exceptional food.
Toilets clean although more smart car size!
Thanks for a great experience to the general manager and ALL her staff.
We went to the Swan for Sunday lunch as it was my Birthday, I cannot praise it enough, the food was amazing, such great quality of food and the taste was second to none, as for the Service this was also excellent the staff were so professional, friendly and attentive especially the Manager Paul. Can't wait to go back soon
