The staff have all changed going from lovely, relaxed and friendly people to people who don't really seem to care, and the food used to be absolutely fantastic but they seem to have changed their quality of ingredients and the food now it not good at all. In the last 4 visits my husband food has been burnt 3 times, and then stone cold the 4th time. It does have a lovely look to it though. Could still recommend for drinks, for sure! But not at all for food. I just don't understand as it is always rammed, so they should make enough money to buy good ingredients... If they could go back to the way they used to be, it would be a full on 5 stars.

In fact, five stars for the restaurant and another five for Maya. She was friendly, funny, welcoming, and somehow made us feel like regulars despite it being our first visit. We casually asked how her day was going and somehow ended up with complimentary glasses of Prosecco. That's service you don't forget. Maya recommended the steak sandwich, and I am forever grateful. It was ridiculously good. The kind of meal that has everyone at the table taking bites and immediately regretting not ordering one themselves. Naturally, we also ordered the fish and chips. We were in England, after all. They were exactly what you hope for--crispy, perfectly cooked, and absolutely delicious. Then there were the fries. Maya confidently declared they were the best she'd ever had. That's a bold statement. Turns out she was right. A couple of perfectly poured Guinnesses later, we were wondering whether we'd accidentally stumbled into the best pub in Surrey on our very first day. Great food, great drinks, and one of the most delightful waitresses we've ever met. Maya deserves 10 stars. Frankly, it's a little unfair to every restaurant that has to follow this act.

It was a short uber ride from the airport, and the place was SO cozy and perfect. We ate the best fish and chips of our lives at the restaurant and then hopped over (across the hall) to the pub for a few drinks before walking right up the stairs and going to bed. The bed was comfortable (although Americans- take note that a king size bed in the US is much bigger than a UK King. I'd say the UK king was closer to a queen). There was a gorgeous coffee/tea setup with a Nespresso machine and pods, an electric kettle, some teabags, and chocolates to pair with the coffee. We had a balcony overlooking the river which was gorgeous! Everything about this place was cozy, cute, and felt so English.

Hoping, but not expecting, and this is the perfect way to go through life: Set your expectations low and watch your happiness meter rise. The Swan Hotel is a 16th century place of lodging sitting right beside the Thames. It's been refurbished to a stylish, immaculate inn with both a pub and a restaurant. Staines isn't a hotbed of activity so hanging out in the pub then stumbling up to your room is a very comforting plan. While it's true that a ball placed on the floor of my room would have rolled on its own (remember, 16th century building) it's also true that my room was a dream. With its luxurious bedding, mattress (1600 individual pocket spring mattress), and a French door that opened up to a tiny balcony overlooking the Thames River I'd have enjoyed staying longer. That such charm can be had for so little (rooms here can be had for about $125 per night) brings joy. The Swan Hotel is a Fuller property, a name I saw several times during my time in the UK. Based on my all-around excellent experience here I'd not just seek to stay here again but I'd also seek out other Fuller properties when returning to visit the rest of the UK.

Sit anywhere order at the counter. So relax plus good quiet walk along the Thames. I will definitely be back for Thursdays curry someday!

First you find an empty table and claim it, making a note of the table number, which is engraved in a small metal plate attached to the table. Then you walk up to the bar and place your food and drink order, tell the server your table number, and pay for it. They give you your drink, and tell you your food will be delivered to your table. I paid £7.35 ($9.37) for the afternoon fish and chips special deal. It included a huge piece of cod fish, large portion of fries, and "mushy peas", PLUS a pint of ale (I chose the classic "Old Speckled Hen"). The food was tasty and one pint of ale is plenty for me. I couldn't finish it all, I can sit here as long as I like, sipping my ale, AND there is no tipping necessary. What a deal.

My review concerns labor issues:…read more I worked at this location when it belonged to another company. During the transition to the new company, we were assured that our rights would be protected if we waited a few weeks without receiving payment from the new company. In my case, I waited and, after starting work, I was fired a few weeks later by the new company, the same one that had guaranteed our rights, and another person was hired in my place. In these cases, it's also important to know how employees are treated. It all happened after I helped clean the entire kitchen during the Christmas holidays.
