    I thought £88 for 2 x cheeseburger and chips plus 2 glasses of wine, a bottle of water and 2 x 2 scoops of ice cream was expensive given that the burgers were thin , coarse ground and not that great. Nice venue and good service.

    Only thing that was disappointing was being separated from the main restaurant for bringing my toddler. Categorising babies and pets as the same.

    We have been to the Black Swan, Ockham before and enjoyed it. Unfortunately on this occasion the food was not up to standard. The staff are friendly -no problem. I ordered the cheese plate-a real let down- supposed to be 3 cheeses-only 2. No apology at first. Cheap crackers and a bit of chutney. The whole plate was a disgrace- no thought given to presentation. It was a table for 4-our friend ordered apple crumble -she could not eat it as it was burnt. The manager did adjust the bill for which we thanked him. The restaurant was not very busy so there should be no reason for the food to be substandard. My venison was excellent. I expect that we will return but my friends were not impressed. It only takes one substandard meal to lose a customer and I doubt they will return. My main comment is : We appreciate times are difficult -so a restaurant has to go the extra mile to keep it customers and give value for money. I suspect that the A3/M25 massive roadworks impinge on people visiting the restaurant. However, I will return and see how they fare. I hope that this is taken as constructive criticism.

    Always enjoy a meal at the Black Swan, food is delicious and the service is exceptional. Mulled wine wasn't great but they made another batch and it was good. They are very accommodating with our dogs, always makes space for them (x2 are large 7 x1 smallish). I can't praise the staff enough at the Black Swan.
