Beautiful place to visit for drinks or Sunday lunch like us, we have been here many times before and always come back. Stunning terrace to enjoy when it's sunny and inside a large, beautifully decorated restaurant to enjoy. The food is phenomenal, really tasty and well portioned. Kids enjoyed their food and were kept entertained by the crayons and colouring. Service was superb, making the whole experience just that bit better.

The food was lovely, and the service was quick. However, it was a bit lax in coordination (missed cutlery, too many different waiting staff), otherwise a very pleasant visit.

Very nice pub. Great atmosphere, pleasant staff. Fast efficient service, nice food. We had a varied selection in our party, and it was all enjoyed. My one moan is over a problem that can't really be solved. Parking is a bit of a gamble. It looks like there are more than enough parking spaces, but on busy days, you realise that isn't the case. So I had to park blocking someone in. But the manager let me know as soon as someone left and a space became vacant. Other than that, it was all good. We'll be going again.

Really nice place and service by Jelly was amazing warm and friendly! As a veggie the roast was not out of this world but I always know these are sometimes not the best. One person on our table had the fish and chips and said it was incredible! They don't play around with their portion sizes!

Nice restaurant area, away from the noisy bar. The food was delicious, and the service was quick and professional. Booking on the website was straightforward. I would have liked more options for the sharing platters. The biggest issue is parking. We had an early dinner at 5:00, and the car park was full. We found a parking spot on the road, but ideally, they would have a larger car park.

Wow they’ve really turned this place around. While the service and decor has always been great here the food was really letting everything else down. Having heard they were under new management we visited again and were amazed at the difference in the food. This time the food both looked and tasted delicious. It’s a great place for fancy pub food, super convenient location and it’s dog friendly! This is a beautiful pub with a lovely beer garden and the staff are wonderful. It’s upmarket but family friendly - the menu is finally doing them all justice. They have games and dog treats and high chairs and the vibe is cosy and clean. Thank you for a great visit.

Great Guinness, food and atmosphere. I ordered the steak frites but wasn't asked how I wanted the meat, which I thought was odd, but it was good in the end. Get the pardon peppers!!

As a bakery the food was beautiful quality ,I recommend their porridge and blueberries. The fruit juices were just different and juices I had never had before , very pleasant. Pastries were stunning however very small. The chairs were rock hard and didn’t want to stay that long. It cost just under £30 for two of us and we didn’t have much so eye wateringly expensive. Toilets were not super clean which for a luxury bakery was underwhelming.

I love this pub/inn. It has a great cocktail menu and really great food. This time i opted for the asparagus, then the lobster and the banoffee pie for dessert. There was a tequila on feature this time and the drink I had was excellent.

Beef tartare was my favourite, had a Smokey taste to it, which was delicious. Burger was ok but I’ve had better. Pistachio custard was very good and was a big portion. Very nice atmosphere inside the restaurant and service was friendly and attentive! Would recommend!

Celebrated sister in law's promotion Famous in steak Restaurant cozy and nicely deco, pet friendly at bar area. The cocktail was tasty and nicely presented. The food was great from starter to dessert. Highly recommend the oyters, beef ribs, and cheesy chips. The meat was so tender and full of flavour. Besides, the miso broccoli is nice as well. Beef tartar bit too spicy and over seasoned.

Amazing spot for a relax but delicious meal! Service is spot on, there when you need them but not asking you how your meal is x10 times. The chef is a miracle working, the food is sooo tasty and flavoursome. We got 1 cocktail, 2 diet cokes, 4 beers, 2 starters and 2 mains for £145 - so not cheap but honestly so worth it! Think we found our new spot!

Beautiful country pub just outside of Cobham town centre. Small car park available which did get full quickly but there did appear to be some more parking available off the main road. Service was fantastic from Jarred. Lovely interior, food was sublime and the oysters were some of the best we’d had in a long while. Thank you to all of the staff for a great lunch. We certainly hope to be back again soon.

Always greeted with a smile. The Sunday roast was amazing, great portion size. During your visit you will most likely be greeted by the owner who is wonderful, wanting to see if everything is ok & if we needed anything. The Sticky toffee pudding was wow! Definitely recommend. We will be back. Tony

First off, we have been here before for a Sunday roast and it’s incredible!!! Beautiful food and service from all staff. Last night we had our wedding reception at the Black Swan after getting married abroad. Barbara was AMAZING! Of course the only day forecasted to rain was yesterday, but she said it’s fine we can accommodate, our reception started inside with welcome drinks then moved outside to the garden area. It was amazing, food was beautiful everyone complimented the pub, food, staff, the DJ absolutely everything! Could not fault one thing - amazing venue for lunch in the sunshine in the summer, or a cosy dinner in the winter or to host events!

My favourite spot! I have come here on multiple occasions, whether it's a quick coffee or drink while getting some work done, a birthday dinner in the igloos upstairs, or just a regular family dinner - it fits all the occasions. The upstairs igloos is definitely a favourite though! The food has never dissapointed, although they switch the menu up seasonally it seems- so I will be waiting for some of my favourites to return in the summer! The only thing is, if you come during quiet hours- the service is slower. I went in for a quick drink solo once while waiting to meet a family member and it took quite a long time to pay & leave. Otherwise else great! Also a great note, is that the pods have heaters during the winter & blankets to stay warm.

A wonderful experience, for parties or birthdays they have these lovely Pods. Really cosy and nice little touches with old books 📚. We went for a Birthday breakfast, absolutely delicious, only suggestion was to have maybe a potato type item as well available for the Garden Breakfast. Though overall the food and drinks all were superb. We were served by Cameron, very professional and considerate. Really shows that service staff are of a high standard. The only other small thing would be the cleaning of the seat and floor under the table for new guests, just needs to be checked a bit more throughly, as some wrapper and bits of probably previous groups food on the floor. But overall, highly rated.

Right so I don’t usually go out of my way to write a review on Nando’s. But I honestly can’t get over how nice these chips were. Best chips I’ve ever had I reckon. Better than some chip shops. The chicken was spot on. Halloumi fries also perfect. I didn’t have to wait long for my food as well. The staff were kind and friendly as well. Probably the best Nando’s in the country by a long way.

I've been to a few Nandos and this is one of the best. A whole chicken was shared between two adults, with four sides, and this almost defeated us in terms of quantity as well as quality. It was a great meal of succulent chicken, with sides on a par with the main dish - they were absolutely smashing - rainbow slaw, grains with green beans & butternut squash and tender stem broccoli. Absolutely yummy, thank you - and in a motorway service station food hall too, which doesn't necessarily scream "quality". (A huge takeaway order had been received and I couldn't help but ask to take a photo of the 24 half chicken order being prepared). Thanks to the Boss and kitchen staff for obliging me.

The best Nandos I've had in over a decade! I stopped going to Nandos as the price went up, the quality, service and potion size went down, drastically. We were going to eat here as it was the only place to get half decent food, but what a lovely surprise! Well cooked, juicy chicken, the Whole Chicken back on the menu as a single item. Good service. I hope this is a return to what used to be a great place to get a decent high protein meal.

I would like to give a big shout out to Shell team. We had an issue with our car on the motorway where our glass blew up and the team were kind enough to give us black bags in order to cover our car. This helped us a lot and I will definitely visit the station again to thank you and to have a breakfast. Regards
