The Swan Restaurant at Tetsworth
High Street, Tetsworth, nr Thame, OX9 7AB
One hears of restaurants with rooms but antiques with restaurants is a new twist, and it seems to work very well at The Swan, housed in a historic Grade II Elizabethan coaching inn, and home to the collections of over eighty antique dealers in forty showrooms. The décor and fittings of the restaurant benefits from the other activity, the modern British cuisine uses produce that has clearly been well sourced and the menu lists many old favourites that would feel at home with the antiques in the nicest possible way. Weary travellers have been visiting The Swan for over 500 years for good food and wine. Highlights include a traditional Sunday roasts, or the weekday a la carte menu where customers can choose from seared scallops with black pudding and basil oil; wild mushroom and artichoke risotto; filleted red mullet, caper and chive butter with baby vegetables, and a dessert of rich chocolate fondant.One hears of restaurants with rooms but antiques with restaurants is a new twist, and it seems to work very well at The Swan, housed in a historic Grade II Elizabethan coaching inn, and home to the collections of over eighty antique dealers in forty showrooms.

REVIEWS OF The Swan Restaurant at Tetsworth
Tolkien (26 April 2008)
We had lunch in The Swan Restaurant at Tetsworth today and both of us ordered the pave of beef sirloin with carrot puree and shin bolognese. The beef was coarse and the carrot puree was thin and watery. The shin bolognese turned out to be a form of gravy, which had congealed at the edges and the portion was small. My wife asked for it to be well done but it was overcooked. It was not presented well and had little support from the meat. They do not serve additional vegetables. The wine was fine but the dining experience was disappointing, so we did not stay for desserts.

Have eaten here on numerous occasions. This is one of my favourite restaurants in the area and you can expect to pay about £30 a head for a 3-course meal with coffee.
A wide range of dishes. Mainly meat and game but they do have a selection of fish dishes and one vegetarian dish. They also do a nice roast on a Sunday.
All dishes are very tasty. I can recommend the moules, goat’s cheese, smoked salmon for starters. The rib eye steak, lamb, salmon and sea bass for main and the hot date cake, raspberry brûlée and bread and butter pudding for dessert.
