Doom Bar & London Pride both in good condition and served full to the top. Friendly and welcoming staff. Good toilets. Decent food. Cheerful mixed crowd of drinkers and diners. Very nice pub.

Large open modern interior. 2 Real ales on my visit. Pedigree and GK Swift.
The latter was drinkable.

As a visitor I would struggle to return, unless I was alcoholically dependent. If I lived locally, I would struggle to find daveboyjones enthusiasm.

In monopoly board terms - Pass/chance/Go to Jail

Sports Bar. Can't sit anywhere without being near a TV screen showing Sky Sport. Big pub, large garden. Staff friendly.

Other people we know have gone to this pub and really liked it, but the staff managed to put us off in a matter of seconds.

We had a voucher for 2 meals and 2 drinks, a great deal by any standard. We went on the last day of validity but when we went to use it, the women behind the bar simply said "It's not valid" sharply, with no further clarification. When my girlfriend tried to find out why, she was told just as sharply that as "Sunday's a different menu, so it's not valid".

To be fair the voucher said that the offer could be withdrawn at any time, but I'm not sure why they didn't just have it expire the day before rather than have it "valid" on a day that they wouldn't honour. To be honest, we might have stayed if the staff hadn't so damn rude about it. After how we were treated however, we sure as hell weren't going to be handing over any money to them.

It might have been a staff member having a bad day, who knows, but we're sure as hell not going to be back again to find out.

My local again. After several years I have returned to the Swan. I like the new management and the enthusiastic staff. Probably now one of the better pubs in Wimbledon, most which appear to cater for groups of 'incomers' and price their beer and food accordingly.

For those interested in food the menu is now more inventive, and reasonably price.

A couple of minor complaints the music is to loud, and there is a tendency to play the television at excessively high volume when the sport is on.

Other than that still worth a visit.
