Forgot to mention the new pay and display carpark.You do get the fee back when you spend five pounds or more.They had it fitted to stop the local offices using it.

On a recent visit to the swan & bottle we found the core menu had changed and for the better and the specials were inspired.the pub never fails me.

On returning to Uxbridge for business we decided to visit The Swan And Bottle again and it never fails to impress,happy staff willing to help and brilliant quality food.Manageress came over to introduce herself and to check all was well,service like that is so rare these days.Would recomend to anyone!

Was great when run by the Churchill's and the canal bar still existed. Saw quite a few amateur bands in there, best of all was one that had fire eaters, who nearly set the whole place ablaze. Mr. Churchill was not best pleased!

This is a nice pub. Staff are well trained, courteous and pleasant. The food and beer is a fair quality. Good for a lunchtime/evening meal. Very busy lunch times and will take 45mins to get your order. This pub is exactly the same in décor/service/atmosphere/price as The Queens Head in Hammersmith - run by the same brewery. I probably wouldn’t go there if food wasn’t on the menu. Concrete beer garden with lots of tables in the front, not bad in the sun.

A restaurant that serves beer.

Well in February I thought this was the best place in Uxbridge but I am sad to report that The Swan has turned into an Ugly Duckling. Why change the food menu from fantastic to drastic? I went in last night to find what was a food paradise had been changed to something that you find in any old pub grub ie chicken tikka masala, fish and chips. They were not that busy and there would be a half hour wait even for starters to arrive. When the old menu was in place you did not mind the wait and when you looked around the pub every table was full of happy diners. Well last night not so much! We left and went somewhere else for dinner.

My colleagues and i went to this pub one Friday lunch time for some food and a pint. When we left we agreed not to go back as the food was shockingly bad, I had fish and chips and the fish was swimming in grease and the batter was so hard I thought I would have to take a chisel to it. Beer was ok.

I love this place. Great food, averagely priced, courteous staff and a great setting.
The difference between this pub and the pubs 2 minutes up the road in uxbridge is startling.

Have lived in Uxbridge for 16 years and I have never visited until today. I will definatly be going back. Nice staff, excellent food, was informed of what was off the menu when handed it, instead of waiting to ask for it as in some pubs, Even feel as though I could take my own Mother in!

A friend at work recommended this place a few years ago and even though I don't live local I would often make a point of seeking out a table here for one of the best meals I have ever had in a pub. Such a joy to find in uxbridge. Just go you will love it, fantastic food, big no smoking section, nice tunes and great staff

Manager very helpful re car parking when I was moving my boat recently, could easily have told me to bog off but didn't,has a customer now. Nice atmosphere, don't normally care for chef & brewer stylee but this one's sound.

I go to this pub incerdibly often for either lunches or dinner after work with my friends and it never disappoints. The food is lovely and very well priced and the staff are equally lovely!

Uxbrigde never used to have a good reputation for food so returning after 5 years away for a conference I took a gamble that the Swan and Bottle had kept its standards up. I and the colleagues I took with me were not disappointed. A warm welcome from the staff was matched by one of the best ranges of home cooked food I have encountered this year.
The only disappointment was that the portions were so generous that I didn't have room for one of the equally large choices of dessert.

At first i i thought it was a dark and old mans bar. But Once inside it was like walking into a different world. A world away from all the other pubs in uxbridge where you can hardly hear yourself think because of the swearing and loud music. Then I came to the swan and bottle and was overjoyed to find a friendly and helpful pub which is a place to take your wife on your birthday, or to take the kids to of a sunday. A really pleasent atmosphere. If you go i recommend trying some of the chef specials as the are to die for. A Must have on a Sunday is the gravy. Easily the nicest gravy in the south. Then in the summer the beer garden over looks a canal and a little river where you can find yourself in a minature eutopia. One of the few nicest pubs i have been to in such a long time. Last but not least the friendly staff. Its nice to see people smiling at you as you enter. 10/10 will go again and again
