The iconic Shakespeare Globe Theatre needs no introduction, though its flagship restaurant Swan is a lesser-known gem. Get unbeatable views of the city while dining on a delicious Brunch or Sunday Lunch menu.

Low-slung and cosy, the interior here is as inviting as they come and is steeped in history, with beautiful views of St Paul's Cathedral and other landmarks from the window seats.

Try the buttermilk pancakes with smoked bacon and maple syrup or, if you're more of a savoury fan, Eggs Royale, Benedict and Florentine never fail to satisfy. On a Sunday, try their indulgent roasts, with options such as roast Kentish chicken or Scottish sirloin, cooked to perfection and served with all the trimmings.

Southwark Underground Station is just under five minutes away on foot.

    Absolutely amazing afternoon Tea. A trip into London for my wife’s belated 60th birthday. Great service from the professional staff, overseen by an extremely knowledgeable Manager. As you can see from our photos the layout of the facilities and our table over looking the river Thames was great. The presentation, taste and flavours of our afternoon tea with all the extras was sublime. We wanted to stay and finish the whole lot, but, in the end did the sensible thing and got a pack-up to go. Thank you so much guys and keep up the great work. 🤩🌟💙❤️

    Our first visit to the Globe since it didn’t exist on our previous trips a number of decades ago. We were fortunate to get tables on two separate visits (lunch & pre-show dinner). The food was always exceptional and the service staff was warm & friendly. Thank you for memorable experiences.

    We hired the private dining room upstairs in the restaurant to celebrate a big birthday. The views over the river were breathtaking. The food was delicious. The best part of our experience was the service. Henry took such good care of us over the four hours we were there. He was incredibly attentive and polite. He anticipated our needs, went out of his way to accommodate them. He really helped make my mother's birthday celebration special. I've noticed over the past couple of years, hospitality service standards have really fallen. I felt compelled to write this review as the service we received at The Swan was outstanding. A rare gem.
