The Swan Inn

"Owned by one of the villagers, this traditional-looking pub is not all that it seems; instead of walking through the door and finding yourself at the bar, you’ll now find yourself facing the open kitchen. Sit in the lounge for 'English tapas' or head through to the Cygnet restaurant, where fairy lights hang from the beams and art is for sale on the walls. Modern British dishes feature on two 4 course set menus – one vegetarian – and you can mix and match between them. Colourful dishes have interesting textures, temperatures and tastes." - Michelin Inspector

Enjoyed the tasting menu here, good was really well cooked and flavours were amazing, there is both a meat option and a vegetarian option catered for. The appearance of the food was excellent and each course was exciting to eat. We sat in the bar area where you can watch things being cooked this is quite differently. There is equally a restaurant area as well. I'd come back here again in future. Very happy

What an amazing food experience! I haven’t had such a great dining experience in ages. All the meals were so special in terms of texture and flavours, all were done absolutely amazing and it’s very hard to choose one that stood out the most. The tasting menu is just pure perfection. I highly recommend the wine tasting with it as well. The staff were very friendly and excited to tell us about the food as well. I was shocked by how amazing the food was, especially that it’s a place in the middle of the village. Deserves a Michelin star without a shadow of a doubt

Refreshingly relaxed tasting menu in a charming old pub in Islip. Excellent service and good value for the price point. Food was all beautiful, delicious, and surprisingly filling. Highly recommend. Only note is that the dining room would definitely be quite noisy when full of customers.

Absolutely exquisite food at decent prices. The chef cooks everything with a light touch but with bags of flavour. The menu (two courses) came with beautiful amuse bouches, and everything was a delight. The service was relaxed rather than formal (perfect for us) and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back

My husband, 10 month old baby and I had lunch here today and couldn’t recommend it more. It’s probably (almost definitely) too nice for a baby but the staff made us feel so incredibly welcome and catered for us (they do have high chairs and portable change table). On top of the excellent and warm service the food was 5 star. What a wonderful place!

Had the taster menu. Well delivered both the meat and vegetarian versions. Absolutely delicious with 5 courses including the wine flight. The service was excellent and well delivered

A warm and relaxed welcome greets you as you enter and visually you are met by the kitchen pass with assorted chefs going about their business. The warm and personable service continues as you go through a series of rooms that lead to the main dining room and attractive bar. The lunch menu was short but varied and revealed an inventive use of ingredients. The dishes were beautifully presented and the balance of textures and flavours was well judged. On the day we did experience slow service from the kitchen. The restaurant was busy, but the slowness did not effect the quality of the food nor the pleasantness of the front of house staff.

We have just got back from our first experience at the cygnet restaurant, and all we can say is wow. The staff at the restaurant went above and beyond to make us feel so comfortable, the matradee was so accommodating and made us feel like we were the only ones there. We would like to give a special shout out to our waitress Diana, she is an absolute credit to this establishment, now moving on to the food, I have never in my life tasted food so full of flavour and so beautifully crafted. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. We will definitely be going back and would fully recommend to anyone.
