"The swan was my local Chinese, both take away and dine in. The food used to be amazing and so did the service, unfortunately this has changed not for the better. The take away always seemed to get colder and colder each time and always forgetting the curry sauce (asking me to remind them and they will give me it for free next time what good is that, when they keep forgetting? , then we decided to dine in even though every single time we had dined in we would get over charged on the bill. When we dined in there was a young girl known to the restaurant sat in the restaurant who came up to our table and started eating food off of our table (this girl I think had autism so it was not her fault and her father kept going behind into the kitchen as he knew the staff this was a very uncomfortable experience which resulted in us leaving the restaurant as the staff just watched this happen and we did ask the girl politely to return to her table. We then requested the bill from the waitress who had sat and watched this happen presented us with a bill in Chinese, I requested this in English as this seemed very expensive considering we did not have alcohol, once we received this we were charged for 4 additional cokes at £5 each. I told the waitress this was incorrect and she was quick to tell me her calculator was broken (which funnily enough it was broken the last time I went in there and they tried charging me for 3 bottles of Prosecco when only ordering 1 . Such a shame as the swan used to be amazing, but has gone downhill massively. They are very over priced, the service is so poor and to top it all off they love to over charge you hoping you don’t notice I think they forget who their regular customers are or just assume you are stupid. Not spending anymore of my money in this place and will be going to May in Epping as there Food is lovely and not as over priced as the swan. They seem to treat their customers better when you dine in also and don’t try to push their luck with over charging you for food and drinks you did not have."

We had a lovely meal for our sons birthday, it was not to busy in the restaurant, the food was tasty and delicious and the service was outstanding. The food was a little pricey, but no different to all other establishments in Epping.

Had takeaway from here a few times recently and has always been very nice, but tonight we ordered a Szuchan lamb dish, fatty didn’t eat it, and 1/4 of duck was hard dry and not ediable. The other food was all fine so hopefully it was a one off.

We had an excellent meal at the Swan. A group of 6, we were seated at a lovely round table which is always nice. The staff could not have been friendlier or more attentive. We had three courses, plenty of drinks and bill was round £220. The food was excellent, in large portions and above all tasty. Mixed starters and duck were amazing especially. We look forward to coming back. View menu

Went there Christmas Eve 2022. Booked for 7pm. They phoned and asked if we could go at 7.30pm. No worries. Table wasn't ready. By 9.15 we had only had our starters (out of a packet) and drinks (very expensive bottled beer). Their problem is that take-aways tale priority. Well, if that's the case, close the restaurant. We had to leave as we had other places to go. No apologies. Couldn't be bothered. However, spoken to a few people locally who will never go back for the same reason.

Had dinner here with my mum and dad for the first time in a few years. Had a lovely meal!! Such a friendly place. We used to come here in the 1970s every week when I was a child, and I have such lovely memories of fantastic dinners here. Fast forward 40+ years, and I was visiting my parents and thought, “where to for dinner”? So we went to The Swan. Such a friendly welcome, and such nice people. I’m sure they’re different staff from the 1970s !!! but just as friendly, and the welcome was just as warm, and the dinner just as nice. Reasonably priced, too, still. We had a lovely dinner, and a lovely trip down memory Lane. Thanks The Swan a memorable evening. We’ll see you again very soon !!
