The Swan Inn, Islip - (Near Oxfordshire, london)

Mister Robot A really lovely pub for drinks and food. Not too expensive considering where it is (we are from the north). We had a baked brie starter, pork belly and a burger mains. Both were of a high standard with all fresh ingredients. The beer garden looked so so nice in the setting sun. Cant recommend this place any more. Oh and its dog friendly with a pooch pampering station.

Carolina Stassis Have been coming here for special occasions for about 7 years. Great consistency in the quality, the kind of food you find in top restaurants in London. Worth every penny. Love everything on the menu. The fresh bread is excellent. Especially great in the Summer garden. Super cosy inside in the bay window seat by the bar. We love that it is dog friendly outside, and in the bar area too. Pictures are from different visits. Always great!

Loll Brooks Excellent a great choice of food and drink. Great company love it.

Evie Collins Amazing food. Good service

Heffernan Noél (Noël) Recently, I was very fortunate enough to be invited by the owner of The Mayflower, in Kidlington, to a Chinese Banquet in his restaurant which is currently mainly known and used as a takeaway. The food was prepared by a renowned Oxford Chef, who previously was heavily involved in The Liaison, Paddyfields and the Tong San, these were all known for serving up the most amazing Traditional, Authentic, Cantonese dishes. He is now preparing this style of food and passing on his skills at The Mayflower on a pre-arranged basis. If you are thinking of having a special meal and think that this would be of interest, please contact the restaurant to arrange a meeting, with the owners, to discuss your requirements. The attached photos show a range of dishes, which although in this case included a number of seafood items, can be altered to suit individual needs. The meal that I have highlighted would cost between £50 and £60 per head and the minimum number would be 8 but 10 is ideal.
