Amazing food. Hygiene score you can forgive.
The food slaps and hygiene is "Good" β not perfect, but nothing to worry about. Go for it.
Wild Swan Brasserie aims high but sometimes trips over its own shoelaces. The English Breakfast is nothing short of a masterpiece, and the staff are like little rays of sunshine, but it seems theyβve got a bit of an identity crisis going on. The atmosphere is cozy, sure, but donβt be surprised if the service feels as slow as molasses on a winter's day.
While Glenn and Richard sing praises for the delicious food and ambiance, a little birdie tells me that some diners have come away feeling less than satisfied. If youβre after a place that serves up hot meals in a picturesque setting, you might be in the right spot. But if you prefer a swift service and flawless execution, you might want to keep your options open.
