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
Visited the restaurant last week and had a selection of small bites, as well as a couple of cocktails. The food was incredible, the lamb fries were a particular favourite. The staff were friendly and informative, definitely looking to head back as the menu refreshes.
Exquisite food, friendly service and great drinks. Quintessentially English countryside restaurant but with upgraded food, some spectacular cocktails and finely tunes wine list.
Wild Game Night A stunning display of faultless cooking. Also thanks to the whole team for their care and attention to detail (from coats to drinks to service) - impeccable service throughout without any stiff formality.
I love, love, love this restaurant! Not only was the food and wine top notch—even if I had a little bit too much of the latter—but the service was brilliant. I felt like it was my local haunt on the first visit.
Can't wait to go again with a larger party to show off this gem before it gets the inevitable star. ;)
Such great service, stunning food and really reasonable prices considering the standard.
The staff are faultless and nothing is to much trouble; this is now on a very select list of places we return to for date night.
