Had a wonderful evening with my uncle and his wife with our drinks poured by the short one behind the bar who was very funny and kind, special thanks to him :)

Had the Liver and Bacon followed by the Fruit Crumble this evening. I can honestly say that it was one of the nicest meals that I have for many years. Well done The Swan Uppers!

Having had a look around Cookham including the Stanley Spencer Gallery on a very rainy day about two weeks ago my daughter and I were looking for somewhere to go for lunch and came across The Old Swan Uppers. What a stroke of luck. Not too busy on the day that we went but found ourselves seated at a nice table right at the back of the restaurant.We made our selections from the tapas section of the menu and were not disappointed. Warm ciabatta & olives, soup of the day, king prawns, scotch egg, crispy squid and chipolatas; all cooked and served beautifully.Good economical food, nice service and lovely atmosphere. Well deserved five stars.

Nice pub in lovely village location. Worst thing is parking as small car park at rear. If in village for day park on Moor & walk up 400 yards.

Visited the Old Swan with my little hiking group. We had to pre order our food but damn was it worth it! The food was fantastic, so much variety, massive portions and the service was impeccable - we will be back!

Good pub with friendly staff and a good menu that has about 8 different starters and 8 or so mains. They accommodated our table of 9 with ease, great service for drinks. Plenty of tablesThe car park was a little busy, but that can only really be a good sign..

We ordered Beef and Ale Casserole and Chicken and Ham Hock Pie - both were packed with good quality meats, generous portions and tasted great. Cheese board had three different cheeses on it and next time I will order ahead so it can rest out of the fridge whilst we enjoy our mains. Husband loved his Sticky Toffee & Warming Ginger Pud served with lashings of home made toffee sauce. Kevin, as always, made us feel special and provided impeccable service.
Post Christmas supper and the pub was very busy which made for a great atmosphere. The restaurant around to the side and back has a nice feel about it and also pretty busy. Service was excellent, the calamari was really delicious. Fish and chips were one of the best we’ve had in a restaurant for some time. The Mac n cheese was also very good. The cheeeboard was very generous alongside the excellent crumble. We are definitely going again.

Great evening at the Swan Uppers - booked in advance as it was a Friday night. Group of 6 - we shared lots of small plates rather than any main meals. All delicious - crispy squid was amazing. Service was great, attentive and quick with both food and drinks. The bar was really busy - there was a singer/band - who was excellent - so we finished up in the bar with some more drinks before we left. Would recommend for either a drink or food in their restaurant - lovely place and lovely friendly atmosphere.

A jewel of a country pub just off the river Thames and the centre of Cookham. A classic quintessential British pub with warming fireplace, hospitality and great food.

We popped in for a very late lunch on Saturday, we had 2 beef pies, 1 halloumi burger and 1 gluten free burger. All food was great, atmosphere was friendly and they're dog friendly too. Thank you ?

If you are looking for Michelin Star food at pub prices look no further! Fabulous lunch yesterday for a party of 11. If I lived locally The Swan Uppers would be my 'go to' place to eat. Top marks to the chef and all other staff.
First time here will.be
Super Sunday lunch. Sean's beef is super good.
