Swans Chinese

Situated on the corner of High Street and Rose Inn street over Ladbrokes bookie office, with the entrance from High Street, Swans has been through a slightly inconsistent period but is now back on form and is once again a pleasant venue for enjoying well prepared and presented oriental cuisine.

The room is bright and very relaxing, with red alcoves, comfortable dark brown leather chairs and Chinese wall hangings; charming Chinese waitresses contribute to the ambience and the food has great flavour, bringing nicely served classics like crispy spring rolls, chicken chow mein and szechuan-style dishes to life.

With good espressos to finish, this is a useful place to know.
