Seasonal produce from the UK’s best suppliers
Inspired by the seasons, our chefs use only the best British ingredients on our menus. Our seafoods come exclusively from UK waters, while our meat is all sourced from Cumbria, supporting family-run Lake District fells and smallholdings. And with English wines, London beers, and cheese from nearby Neal’s Yard Dairy in Borough Market, we’re in love with local on the plate and in your glass.
A discerning wine list
Cellared by us in optimal conditions for up to 25 years, Swan’s selection has been carefully curated from around the wine-making world, including some beautiful bottles by a few of our English favourites. Find your match made in heaven with the award-winning wines of Rathfinny Estate, Chapel Down, Nyetimber, and many more perfect pairings.
Enchanting afternoon teas, inspired by Shakespeare
Experience our unmissable Afternoon Tea. Our sumptuous tea features signature cocktails, savoury treats, delicious scones, sweet delicacies, and a wide range of teas, themed around Shakespeare’s plays. A savoury Gentleman’s Tea is served, as well as vegetarian, vegan and gluten free afternoon tea options. At Christmas time a wondrous Festive Afternoon Tea is served.
Breath-taking views in an elegant dining space
Dine in the comfort of our restaurant’s contemporary setting at Shakespeare’s Globe. Only a stone’s throw from Borough Market, Tate Modern, St Paul’s Cathedral, and other iconic attractions, Swan’s chic look and feel is matched by its spectacular Thameside views, great British plates, and seamless service. Light and airy by day, intimate and atmospheric at night.

Make the most of our set River View menu. Our set menu is ideal for a quick catch-up or romantic date night, showcasing the finest flavours the season has to offer, with comforting soups and braised meats in the winter months, giving way to lighter dishes of cured Scottish salmon and grilled fish in the summer.
