"In the middle of a busy week, I decided to be a little naughty by jumping off the work for a few hours. A quick text to my friend and a finished customer meeting later, I was on my way to a lazy lunch. We had heard about the recent White Swan at Chancery Lane. Mr. Flavour and I were once regular and could not wait to see the new version. Unfortunately for him, he was gone in business, letting the ladies explore in his absence. This former irrigation hole was historically a popular hunt for the Fleet Street press brigade before turning into a Posh pub and dining room. Now again opened as a pub and cophouse, the locals are already coming in the queue. At the entrance we served the delicious flavors from the dining room on the upper floor. However, rule number one of boozy lunch dictates a freky G T must be consumed before eating one. Gin is something the white swan has in abundance! Our sophisticated bartender led us to a Hendrick's gin, served long and chilled with a cucumber band. That's the point! The new chophouse theme was certainly well preserved. The white tablecloths and wallpapers are replaced by trendy exposed brickwork and deep stained wooden tables. This beautiful room is available for private rentals and would be a great place to impress your friends or colleagues. The menu consists of pub favorites, cuts of British finest meat and fresh fish from South Coast Day boats and British fishing ports. If Mr. Flavour had been here, he would have made a hive for the 45-day White Park Sirloin with Béarnaise and big chips. We believed something easier. The salad baked Celeriac, Blue Monday cheese and Kale salad with chestnuts was divine and flavored with a beautiful earthy seasonality. My friend ordered Iron Age “Pick and brawn”, Pickles and English Senf, who came in the form of a terrine. I couldn't resist helping me to a greedy disaster. The Albarinho was certainly a suitable partner for the fish nets to follow. Fluffy fish cakes with peas tomato relish were mouth-watering crispy and burst with horror. I had never ordered Gurnard before and his fleshy texture was beautifully complemented with braided fennel. The big chips were absolutely smashed and made us dessert without room. As much as I enjoy a maid lunch, it's time like this when I miss my pretty man and his inexorable appetite. A quick espresso later I was returned to the office with a spring in my step and a very satisfied belly. I can't wait to introduce my customers to this wonderful new venue, available 7 days a week."

"Unfortunately, it was a mistake catalog in this restaurant that we arrived and they had 't reserved enough seats for our group so we had to wait for them to reseat to fit us to the table. from the menu they were just one option run out and a single and only eating was an salat. that is unacceptable. we came before Christmas with friends to dinner and we ended with only the possibility to order sandwiches. because there were a limited number of employees (which often were close to texts on their phones or chatting instead of ordering or eating cute sauces. we had to wait a long time until our order is taken, a long time until the food arrives, and we had no other table service except this one. a person in our group received her food after all the others were finished, although we ordered sandwiches and have followed the staff several times. when it arrived, the order was incorrect and missing key content as listed for the article on the menu. As a result, we were told that the sandwich would be removed from the bill, only we found that it was not and we had to make another complain to remove it. despite the above when our bill arrived, we found that a service fee has been added to our bill. I complained and said that we would not pay this in full, taking into account the experience, but there was no excuse. Instead, the waiter laughed and said he understood completely why we don't want to pay it. absolutely inappropriate. when we left, we discovered that the least helpful and rude waitress was actually the manager. they approached us to say we could have visited a free bottle prosecco next. I will not go back, but even if we have done it, they will never fulfill this offer on a wise one. it was pathetic. too little, too late. I will send a complaint to the brewery, which also belongs to this pub shocking. what a embarrassment."
