Square Meal Review of Black Swan ?

This former bikers’ pub on the edge of Ockham & Cobham flashes the cash spent on it, notably in the cool extension with a wraparound covered seating area – although the spacious modernised interior works beautifully too. The place is still proud of its pub credentials, with real ales on tap & a bar menu of ploughman’s, baguettes & fish & chips offered amid the agreeably pubby hubbub. Those wanting something flashier should head for the dining areas, where the menu promises high-class renditions of the classics (ham hock rillettes with piccalilli, fillet steak with chips) as well as dishes with a more modern accent such as beetroot, red onion & rocket salad with hazelnuts & blue cheese dressing or a duo of local wild roe deer (marinated fillet & a mini shepherd’s pie) accompanied by celeriac purée, roasted carrots, shallots & game jus. Well-chosen wines, too.

    Fabulous setting, lovely venue. For a smart country pub I was suprised at the prices on the evening restaurant menu – most mains between £15-20 so we expected the food to be excellent – it was good, but not excellent. My partner had seabass on a wild mushroom risotto which was great, and a good sized portion. I had Pork Belly on mustard mash which was delicious – my only criticism would be that the mash was rather dry and the Pork came with caramalised onions on top which meant that the skin hadn't been crisped to crackling – bit of a disappointment. Horseradish buttered french beans on the side were great. Will certainly go here again, but for a special occasion at these prices.

    Beautifully refurbished gastro-pub, unrecognisable from the biker pub it once used to be. 2 minutes from the A3 in Ockham, well worth a visit. We used a clever service to get home to Esher after our meal and drinks, they were advertising at The Black Swan so we gave it a try – www.scoot2boot.com worked really well for us.
