Lunch yesterday--my wife n' I visited for the first time--celebrating my birthday. Work colleagues had raved about the good food and service at The Cheshire Cat Pub. Our visit absolutely confirmed their perceptions--wow!!! Based on our experience we'll add an additional x15+++ to their 'rave' sentiments. A dedicated a top notch team effort from reservation, meal and final wrap up! The food, venue, the entire Cheshire Cat Pub Team working in unison made for an outstanding birthday celebration experience! We started our lunch with amber beer on tap, followed by Hot Beef & Yorkie, 2 piece FIsh n' Chips and Sticky Toffee Pudding & tea. To the The Cheshire Cat Pub...your teamwork and dedication to excellance is commendable. Kudos to all of you.

Originally constructed as a Presbyterian manse in 1902 and later converted to a pub, the Swan was reborn in 2000 by the current owners, both of who. Are professionally trained chefs. The ambiance is warm with an eclectic decor and a healthy dash of history. The staff are delightful and attentive. We enjoyed the Sweet and Spicy Wonton soup as a starter followed by two incredible entrees. The crispy and savoury Korean Fried Chicken was an amazing dish full of flavour and just enough spice to keep your tastebuds excited for the next bite. The second entree was perfectly prepared Pork Schnitzel which was enhanced by an amazing lemon cream sauce. To end things off we ordered the Maple Crème Brûlée, a smooth creamy dessert with a nice maple finish. The Signature Chocolate Supreme Cake was perfectly moist, light and delectable. Everything we ate was made in house, by the owners who have taken great care to put together a menu to meet everyone's desires. The portions were very generous and the service was top notch.

The atmosphere: Beautiful wood accented walls, booths, tables, bar etc with traditional glass pub style panels. Theres a fireplace in one area of the restaurant which would be nice to be seated beside in the winter. This looks like a nice English pub! The booths even have a door you can use for privacy! A very nice touch! The food: Me and the wife had the BBQ bacon burger, it had 3 types of bacon! Just enough bbq sauce to taste, but not too much to make a mess. The ground beef is ground fresh from chuck roast every morning, and you can taste the difference. Be careful however, some of the sides are an extra dollar or two, I didnt enjoy the mashed potatoes very much, but thats ok, I can't expect everything to be perfect. My daughter had a chicken and rice kids meal, which was essentially a Greek souvlaki chicken breast. I had to try it, it was juicy, perfectly cooked and seasoned. As much as it may be a simple dish to cook, I can't cook it like that. My son had the chicken fingers, they disappeared quick, and looked great. Service: The server was friendly, inviting, attentive, and easy to talk to which I really appreciated. she was very nice to my kids, and my kids were excited to show off their crayon pictures they drew for her. . i cant ask for much else here, except maybe to warn about the extra dollar or two for some addons, maybe toast the bun, and mash the potatoes a little bit more (some people would prefer it the way they make it Im sure) Bravo Barley Mow, Im hard to impress, and honest I think; you guys did great!

Well after being away from Kanata for a dozen years I was looking forward to my visit…read more I sat at the bar and endured the trash old fashion you tired to make. I was polite. And did not complain. I waited for my kids to arrive and sat in a HALF empty restaurant for 30mins. We moved to a bar table and you told us that our wait for food would be over 40mins because of one table. Sure there might have been 20 people but you are HALF empty. Not sure what you would do if you were actually busy. What a waste. Disappointed and I hope others only visit when your parking lot is empty. Do this in my town and you'd be closed in under a week.

This pub has been here only forever... and we've never been here before! What gives? Well, last…read morenight we attended a play across the street at the Kanata Theatre, and we were the lucky recipients of a discount at this restaurant, so we decided to cave in and give it a try! We waited at the front for a few minutes before we were greeted by a young Hostess. The restaurant was not packed by any means, but there were a few other patrons, mostly older people. It made me wonder if they were doing what we were doing: grabbing a bite before the show. Our waiter admitted that he was in training as he was new; this is his first week and only his 3rd day. He and another waiter served us for this visit. Oddly, the veteran waiter welcomed us back - and thought we were here recently! Perusing the menu, they offer good specials during the week. We both chose the 1 piece of fish and chips which is normally $15.00 and on special last night for $11.00. and a beer (Keith's I think??! at $5.00 on Wednesdays - a different beer every night.) I found all my food was delicious and would not hesitate to order it again here. I loved the batter on the fish, and the coleslaw was tasty if a bit too much sauce on it. Our service was reasonable, although they were a tiny bit slow bringing the bill. They must be aware of the theatre diners... None the less, I would go back.

While we waited for our food, I admired the exposed brick walls and other details of the restaurant. On the main floor, there's a private room that can seat up to 30. Just called ahead to reserve, and there's no $ minimum. There's a variety of seats. The majority seems to be high top height. Personally, I prefer a regular table and chair height, so next time I will ask for that choice. Our house salad and bacon smash burger came out lightening fast. The food plus the beer were ok.

The decor is very British pub-like (lots of British memorabilia). Charming if you like that kind of stuff. I had the Salmon Boxty ($14.99). I thought that salmon, cream sauce and sun-dried tomatoes sounded like an interesting combination. The combination tasted not so much interesting, but rather odd. It was edible but I would not order it again. The Boxty came with a salad which was ok. Others at the table had the Steak and Kidney Pie, Ashton Chicken and the Grilled Salmon Dinner. They liked their meals better than I liked mine. I did notice on the menu that they had Rarebit. I love Welsh Rarebit and I rarely (haha, pun intended) see this on the menu anywhere in Ottawa. I regret not ordering it while I was there. Service was competent. It looks like they have lots of regulars. Servers seemed more friendly with the regulars than us non-locals. I am not a beer drinker so the fact that this is a brew pub makes no difference to me, but my husband enjoyed trying their beer. I think this would be a good place to go if you live in Ashton or happen to be driving through. I personally would not make a special trip to go back though.

And it was so H O T in there! The flies were having a party! On the up-side: our group of about 15 people was part of the problem: loud, and hungry and thirsty! Even better: they have started selling little brown jugs of their home brew. Yeah!!! We'll definitely be back.
