White Swan

You'll find yourself tucked away on Old Palace Lane, steps from the water, at a place that's somehow managed to nail that impossible balance between proper boozer and proper restaurant. The White Swan doesn't try too hard—no exposed brick theater here—it just delivers good cooking, honest drinking, and the kind of atmosphere where you can either have a quick pint or settle in for a three-course meal without anyone making you feel awkward about either choice. It's the gastropub you wish was on your local high street.
