About Cygnet at the Swan Inn

Description

Nestled in the picturesque Cotswold village of Islip, The Swan Inn stands as a 17th-century pub and acclaimed restaurant offering private dining. Situated just off Lower Street, this historic establishment underwent a thoughtful renovation and restoration in 2022, preserving its charm and character.

The Swan Inn welcomes guests for drinks in its inviting lounge and offers the option of private dining in the renowned Cygnet restaurant. The pub's bar area is open to walk-in visitors, serving a delectable array of small plates and beverages. For those seeking an exceptional dining experience or a private gathering, the award-winning Cygnet restaurant is available for reservations.

At the helm of the Cygnet restaurant is Chef Paul Welburn, who recently received the prestigious accolade of 3 AA Rosettes at the 2023 AA awards. Paul, formerly honored with a Michelin star at The Oxford Kitchen, brings a wealth of culinary experience and expertise to the establishment. The Cygnet restaurant proudly serves both lunch and dinner, presenting a seasonal, ever-evolving menu of 2 and 3-course delights.

The menu adapts regularly to showcase the best of each season, featuring dishes such as mouthwatering maple-glazed butternut squash, fresh Cornish monkfish, and succulent heritage breed sirloin beef paired with rich black garlic and tender kale. Vegetarian options are also thoughtfully included, with offerings like a wild mushroom 'hash brown cake' and a cauliflower steak accompanied by a vibrant green sauce.

To complement the exquisite cuisine, The Swan Inn offers a diverse drinks menu boasting a selection of fine wines, craft beers, and handcrafted cocktails to enhance your dining experience.

Testimonials For Cygnet at the Swan Inn

"Fully recommend to anyone"FEBRUARY, 2024

We have just got back from our first experience at the cygnet restaurant, and all we can say is wow. The staff at the restaurant went above and beyond to make us feel so comfortable, the matradee was so accommodating and made us feel like we were the only ones there. We would like to give a special shout out to our waitress Diana, she is an absolute credit to this establishment, now moving on to the food, I have never in my life tasted food so full of flavour and so beautifully crafted. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. We will definitely be going back and would fully recommend to anyone.

"4 courses all outstanding"JANUARY, 2024

The concept is a fixed menu (only choice between vegetarian or not) at a fixed price. 4 courses all outstanding. Staff also excellent, friendly but professional. One of the best meals we have had for years. Highly recommended. No wonder it’s ranked as one of best restaurants in Oxfordshire.

Highly recommend

"Impeccable service"DECEMBER, 2023

The attention to detail and ambiance created a truly memorable dining experience. Highly recommend for those seeking a gastronomic journey worth savouring.

"Compliments to the chefs for the lovely sample menu"NOVEMBER, 2023

We had a fantastic night at The Swan celebrating my mother in laws birthday. From the moment I walked through the door, nothing was too much trouble. Our cocktails were delicious, the serving staff were amazing at all times. Once we sat down to eat every dish came with a clear description and the wine pairing was explained perfectly. Compliments to the chefs for the lovely sample menu. Although it may be strange to mention, the plates and cutlery were particularly nice and I look forward to visiting again. Thank you to team Swan/Cygnet.
