The Swan Inn - Cherwell

We had a fantastic night at The Swan celebrating my mother in laws birthday. From the moment I walked through the door, nothing was too much trouble. Our cocktails were delicious, the serving staff were amazing at all times. Once we sat down to eat every dish came with a clear description and the wine pairing was explained perfectly. Compliments to the chefs for the lovely sample menu. Although it may be strange to mention, the plates and cutlery were particularly nice and I look forward to visiting again. Thank you to team Swan/Cygnet.

Worth the visit from central London incredible food service! We recently visited the restaurant via train and were amazed by how scenic/convenient the entire journey was from both central London and Bicester Village. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, with the overall ambience and service far exceeding our expectations. We selected the tasting menu (with wine pairing) and really enjoyed the presentation of every single dish. We loved how there was a story behind each dish, with a unique combination of flavours! Eager to return during Christmas I can’t even begin to imagine how beautiful the main dining room will look like given the high ceilings and decorative lights.

Went for dinner 4-course set menu to celebrate our anniversary. Everything was absolutely delicious and the service was brilliant. Already recommended to friends/colleagues and will definitely be back!

An amazing spot! We were taken care of from start to finish. From the beautifully mixed (and beautiful looking cocktails in the lounge, to the staff's expert service and knowledge about the food and wine, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. The Cygnet restaurant itself is peaceful and cosy, yet full of atmosphere. Each course of the set menu was superb (although the Hake was particularly good! and the wine flight plan to go with it was a perfect match. We couldn't recommend it more, definitely a gem worth discovering

First time eating at the Cygnet and we were not disappointed! Every dish we ate was incredible and I have to say the cocktails were some of the best I’ve ever tasted! The service was also exemplary. The only thing we found odd was the choice of decor in the dining room…the rest of the venue is really tastefully done, but found the dining room to be very underwhelming and didn’t seem fitting with the standard of the rest of the restaurant. Otherwise everything was 10/10
