Had my 21st here and the food was really good. The people were super helpful and everything went so smoothly. Good place for a chill night out
The swan is always the last place of think of for food, mainly because it has always been a venue we are in post 9pm! But recently we dined here and the food was really good. Stick with the burger, parma or the steak sanga and you can't go wrong!
Are you an Aussie thinking of travelling to Mexico for the cuisine? Well don’t. I just spent Melbourne Cup day in the arms of the Swan Hotel and to line my stomach I purchased some Nachos. Expecting some soft tortilla chips and some vinegary salsa topped with cheap cheese I was pleasantly shocked when a white bowl, sent from Adonis, graced my table. Piping hot to the touch, this bowl housed the most delicious arrangement of beef, cheese and chips, I’ve ever had the delight to devour. My friends and I discussed the matureness of the cheddar, the seasoning of the beef, the freshness of the coriander-infused guacamole and the crispness of the tacos that before we’d even touched on the salsa, the bowl was finished. A better shared plate you could not wish for.
While the swan is great for a night out, it was also surprisingly good for a feed too. Our most recent visit was on Parma night, and we also ordered some squid. The salad dressing for the squid was absolutely delicious; the sesame oil added a great flavour. I ordered the Mexican Parma, which was a good choice, only critique would be that there was too little salsa with the amount of guacamole and sour cream. And my bf ordered the BBQ Meatlovers one, which he enjoyed.
Good consistent pub food. I have had the Chicken Parma and Steak Sandwich and both came with chips and salad. Enjoyed both meals. Service was quick and friendly 😀
We go here somewhat regularly for the Tuesday night trivia which is guaranteed fun. We've tried the Parma, HSP and chicken burger here before all of which are tasty and meet expectations for a decent pub meal, and the beer and cider are good. Can't comment too much on service or wait times on food because we're usually distracted by the trivia but we've certainly never had any issues.
Serves a delicious parma with delicious chips. Relaxed environment. Also serve great steaks, rare. Average pub in Richmond. Busy on weekends.
Woke up today and felt like some good pub food, decided to venture down to the Swan as I had been planning to for quite some time.
Couldnt of been happier with my decision! Fantastic food, chilled out atmosphere and accompanying service. Will most definitely be coming back next Sunday!
A rather slow service, I visited this place twice and I had to wait a considerable amount of time before I got the meal on my table. That aside, the food was actually pretty good for a pub standard. I had burger today and had Parma the other time. The burger was slightly better in my opinion. So yeah, if you are not n a rush, do give this place a try.
Went on a Tuesday hoping for a pub special, but it was trivia night instead! People involved in trivia sounded like they were having a great time. Service was fine, meal was tasty- but it was quite expensive for the small serving size. My meal of fish and chips was quite small yet cost $20. If I came here again, I'd come on a day when there are pub specials.
We frequently have our Friday night work drinks at the Swan and they never disappoint! The staff are lovely and very accommodating. It's such a good atmosphere, we love it here!
Great food with big servings... Nice people with all welcoming smiles
Steak sanga was good. It's getting hard to see a screen, the floor plan isn't open any more. It's like walking back in time in the main bar...I miss sticky carpet. Queues haven't changed. Good crowd, even better these days. Hotter. Not as young, as in jail bait.
Their pineapple and strawberry mocktail is AMAZING! A group of us went for their Thursday steak night and it was great!
Very friendly staff they got there!
Qld school Melbourne pub. Friendly vibe with well priced good and drinks.
Don't expect any special decor or modern gastro pub look, this is an old school pub meant as a catch up place to have a few drinks and a reasonably priced feed.
Full compliments to the Swan Hotel and in particular a server called Lachie. We were running late for a music concert and we were awaiting our food. After telling Lachie this he went the extra mile and told his manager, of which then they refunded our meals for us so we could make the concert in time. What a legend
Booked the Swan for a birthday function two years in a row now, they're very accommodating and will reserve multiple tables at no charge. Had to cancel this year due to covid 3 hours before the booking and they had no issues and no charge. Great establishment.
