Swan at Shakespeare's Globe goes about its Modern British cooking with a confidence Southwark has come to rely on, at a pace that suits a long lunch as well as a proper dinner.
About Swan at Shakespeare's Globe
The Swan stands beside Shakespeare's Globe on Bankside, its first-floor dining space looking across the Thames to St Paul's.
The River View menu is £29.50 for two courses and £35 for three, served at lunch and from 5pm, which puts a full dinner in front of a Globe performance and leaves it running all evening for anyone not going. Duck liver parfait with blackberry ketchup and pickled blackberries, corn-fed chicken with champ potatoes and tarragon cream, and a Manjari chocolate mousse finished with olive oil and Maldon salt have all run on it.
