The Swan is a classic country pub with everything you would hope for - beams, roaring log fires and…read morea warm welcome from the friendly landlord and landlady and the bar staff. This pub has loads of character. The food is classic pub food, at good prices and a high standard (home made, not delivered and microwaved) available in the day and evenings. There is a separate function room at the back where live music events (bands and a regular jam night every Sunday) are held. This gives the bands enough space and keeps them out of the way of the main pub for those who want to drink or eat without music . The Swan gets some great bands and people come from far and wide for these. There is a car park round the back. Well worth a visit for a meal, the live music or a pint in lovely traditional surroundings.

It is always interesting…read morewhen traveling to explore local restaurants and to find a true gem like this is exceptional. From the get-go when we entered the restaurant, we were welcomed and the staff was very attentive. They change their menu up often and there were several good options. Being low carb boy, I was looking at the choices, but after our waiter detailed their signature veal dish, we were hooked. It was outstanding and really blew our minds. True meaty goodness that was one of the most phenomenal things I have had in a long time. We are tempted to return just to have that dish again. It is a ball of veal stuffed with ham, Italian sausage and fontina cheese. It is covered in a peppercorn sauce that was incredibly yummy. I cannot recommend this dish more. Truly worth the trip to try. We tend to avoid sugar, but, it was a very special evening, so we tried the Eton Mess and were not disappointed. Not too sweet, with strawberries and blueberries immersed in rich, heavy cream that has roasted almonds and pieces of meringues. I am sure it blew my carb count for the day. I look forward to my return and encourage you to check it out.

This is a fantastic restaurant. I have been here 3 times and had new things everytime (not…read moresomething I do often). The menu is amazingly varied with choices for any taste. There are good vegetarian choices, but plently of good meat dishes. Some of the meals are quite unusual: I have had Venison and Rabbit there. The meals are not cheap (roughly £12-15 per main meal) but I can honestly say they are worth every penny, so worth a special trip. The atmosphere is quiet and cosy; perfect for a romantic dinner. Although I am sure they could cope with bigger groups, they didn't seem to be set up for it so you may need to book ahead. If there are just 2 you should be find without booking on a week night, but I wouldn't risk it on the weekend. The staff are friendly and attentive and will make recommendations from the menu if you want. The wine list is extensive and (althought I am not a wine expert) seemed good. I have always been happy with my choice.

I used to attend the college located next door, and once I overheard one of the employees at the Roebuck complain that the American students were loud and obnoxious. I told him that i was very sorry that my obnoxious countrymen showed no respect, and I assured him that not all of us are like that. After much chat, and my promise that I would address the students in assembly (I was the editor of the campus paper) he poured me a pint on the house. The people at this pub are lovely, the food is good, and the beer, stouts, ales, etc are great! I miss the Roebuck. When I return to the UK I will hit it up for sure.

A lot of people go here to eat & on every Friday I've been, it was very busy. The food is pretty varied, the menu changes every so often & the food reasonably imaginative & tasty if a bit expensive. My only criticism is that this pub is a victim of their own success in that the food has taken far too long to arrive on several occasions. They have 4 to 5 decent beers on such as Adnam's etc. Plenty of parking & outside seating. Pretty varied bunch of customers as well. Worth 3.5 stars.

Clive hosts regular beer festivals with many fine beers & porters straight from the barrels. I even drank lager once during the less common Lager festivals. I've eaten here many an evening & had one of the tastiest steaks ever. Food suitable for sharing is on offer. There is a fair amount of internal seating at the front, split into two rooms, with a very large patio area out at the rear, beyond the main bar & occasional dance floor. The middle section of the outside area being covered for smokers. This isn't the cheapest watering hole in Wokingham but a fine selection of beers can always be had after a long wait on certain nights. Clive knows the bar layout isn't ideal but I've heard hints that the council has blocked changes! A good atmosphere, good cross-section of ages of clientale some of which actual drink beer rather than Eurofizz! Thurday evening often hosts live music. A hint to other customers please leave the fecking chairs where they are supposed to be it drives the staff nuts having a room with tables but no chairs! As of June 2013 still a good watering hole!
