The Swan & Edgar looks great, with a bookish theme throughout. Those coming for real ale (as I was) will be disappointed - it's primarily a wine bar with only Asahi and Becks on draught: and no bottled beers.

However, it might be a nice place to come for some grub (with wine) of an evening.

They do seem to book tables, even when empty, so I guess feel free to ring ahead and book your spot.

5/10. Pros: great decor with book and newspaper theme, coupled with old photos of the Swan & Edgar general store. Cons: definitely not a pub for the ale connoisseur, rather for the wine gurgler.

Met there for a birthday last weekend. Possibly the worst service I have encountered in years. It's a tiny pub two barmaids on and yet having gone upstairs to prebooked table after 30 mins had to go downstairs and say we were ready to order. Food took forever to come, though was very nice. Once every half hour a barmaid would appear and ask 'more wine' and make no effort to clear plates.

Was very quiet for a Saturday night which is a shame.

I suppose most damning thing is that I wouldn't recommend it to anyone which is disappointing as expected much more.

I predict will be converted back into a house within next 12 months if that standard is kept up.

How disappointing - returned after a long break hoping previous review was a quirk, but all true. All ales gone. Surly staff and overpriced lager to boot. Interior booked from indeterminate time which left the punters huddled outside while the place was empty inside. A good place ruined

Oh dear. Have been coming on a regular basis for about 6 months. Was enchanted by the minimalist decor with newspaper motif. A bar designed for the well heeled and urban gentry of the area. Recently they have removed the real ale that was on sale and seemed to have pre-empted the era of austerity we are entering by reducing the food portions to levels which would make Victoria Beckham ask for more. On second thoughts perhaps the owners have decided to go with the times and have heralded the return of a Tory government by turning this place into an eighties style wine bar. Must dig out my red braces and Filofax.
