Nice Pub, original in the atmosphere and in the fun garden, quiet and pleasant surrounded by nature on the bank of the Thames. Suitable for weekend full English breakfast which by the way we greatly appreciated for the quality and cooking of the products, also for spending a sunny afternoon outdoors for an aperitif (not very satisfied with the dishes ordered especially the tasteless and dry pulled pork ), the staff behind the bar are helpful and welcoming.

Decided on a whim to camp here mid week for two nights with my dog. What a great site!!
Right on the Thames the site has large plots, with some running right along the tow path.
Owners are really friendly and have a great shop with anything you may have forgotten.
Site also has teepees and shepherds huts.
Located right opposite is the pub which has a large garden and serves good food.
My only criticism would be while the facilities are simple which is fine, the showers are really small and only one hook for clothes and towel. It could do with an extra hook and a shelf to put your shampoo etc. Otherwise really clean and enough for the size of the site.
Travelling on way to a short stay in the Cotswolds, explored the area via Google & found Ye Olde Swan pub. Parked up & walked over a small stone bridge to it. Walked through the pub (one way in) & into the large garden (with an exit via the other side of the garden next to a wood fire pizza area). There's a BBQ area closer to the pub and an outside bar with lots of outside seating. With quite a few spots to sit near to the Thames and a covered area too. Find the menus there, grab a table number & go order from the BBQ area. It was nice and relaxing sitting by the water with a drink & some food. On the parking lot side there is a camping area which looked good. Paddle boards and kayaks for hire via the pub. Plus a bonus to see a longboat coming under and through the small stone bridge in view from the seating area outside 🥰
A lovely meal in beautiful surroundings by the canal. We had the snug - 5 adults, 2 children and a dog. Very comfortable for all of us. Food was excellent and prices reasonable. Ample room out back to walk a restless dog and distract children.
Had a fantastic weekend there for the Sausage and Cider festival. Music was brilliant. The campsite was beautiful. Very clean toilets and showers. Toilets always had loo roll lol. Great friendly atmosphere with no trouble whatsoever. Will be staying for a week next year!!! Just got back from Radfest 2023 and it was amazing! A free two day live music event with so many amazing bands! The atmosphere was beautiful and friendly. So many smiling people dancing and singing their hearts out along with the bands! No trouble at all. Lots of fur babies of every breed welcome and they were all so well behaved too! Campsite still top of the range, ( loo roll always stocked! Lol). Made a lot of new friends and can’t wait for next year. If camping book early as plots go fast!
Spent 3 days glamping here for Radfest and it was absolutely amazing. The pub is fantastic, have been there many times before. The festival atmosphere made the weekend even more special. Super friendly staff and lovely food cooked outside. Love this place 😀
Olde worlde pub. Great staff friendly atmosphere. We stumbled upon this gem whilst walking the Thames Path.
I highly recommend Ye Olde Swan.
Thanks

Plenty of parking available for this great pub. Loads of outside tables, many under cover. Staff were helpful although service was a bit slow, this could be due to the weather as it was sunny and pub was very busy. Prices were reasonable. All in all a good experience.
Short and sweet - I simply cannot fault this wonderful pub, it commands a spectacular position next to the river and offers faultless service, top notch in fact. The food is, as expected, superb, the 'Swan Burger' is amazing, make sure you are hungry before trying!
There is plenty of parking available.
Enjoy!
Cracking spot. Right on the river. Local pub, pizza van and food available. Camping too
