The manager of this pub has the most unprofessional manner of conducting themselves on social media platforms. After having never been to this pub, to be privately message asking if my daughter (who there are no pictures of on said profile) had left her glasses there? To think how does she know I have a daughter, and that my daughter wears glasses. Who has my daughter in a pub, why have they removed her glasses. VERY unprofessional

Used as a. meeting place for cousins who had never met before some 40 of in all. We had a terrific day and were given a large room to discuss our Ancestry, shake hands and have hugs. Also a good area to use a projector and to display photos. One of our group described our ancestors journeys from Egypt of some 10,00 years ago to our much more traceable ones here iin the UK back from the 1,500's. We have already booked to be back next year.

we went a couple of years ago and it was lovely. Last night the food was terrible. We had the carvery which was dry and tasteless. And I don’t understand why some of the veg was curried. My granddaughter had chicken nuggets (4) and a handful of chips for £8.50 which was a total rip off. The food was over priced and awful. Won’t be going back

Very dark inside and a bit of a musty smell. Some of our group had the Carvery. Not a pleasant experience for them. Meat was stringy and chewy and veg had seen better days. As an upside I had the fish goujon sandwich which was actuality very tasty but then it was a posh fish finger sandwich and you can't really get those too wrong. Unfortunately won't be visiting again.

A decent place, really nice staff. We went for Sunday roast, which wasn't anything special...decent price for decent food. 1 x meaty carvery and 1 x veggie carvery, 2 x desserts @ £7 each and 2 x drinks for £45. Lots of larger tables in so does a good trade. Would recommend for those on a budget, those not wanting airs snd graces and just wanting a regular meal. Keep going chaps.

Went for a Carvery there first time in years. Food was disappointing roast potatoes looked warmed up after being over cooked, other potatoes not cooked properly, the stuffing looked steamed or not cooked in the oven at all? If I was honest the whole meal was luke warm.

I remember that the Swans nest used to serve good food. But not now. Sunday roast was pretty flavourless. Lasagna was a dried up, small piece of probably extra microwaved pasta. 'Local sausages on mash' were very bland. Compared to the bistro in Totnes serving 3 fantastic local sausages on mash for around the same price, this was not good. Nothing could be described as succulent or very tasty. A pint of cola is also extremely expensive here, close to what a cider costs. I and my family won't be coming again.

The atmosphere is peaceful & the place is surrounded by beautiful wetland habitats, so we saw some fabulous bird life too. The meal was really tasty & the portions are generous. After our meal, we were able to order drinks & chat with family with no pressure to leave. This was one of the nicest pubs I've been to in a very long time. Thank you to all of the staff for making us feel so welcome, it was worth the trip down.

Went to Swans Nest for Sunday lunch, the girl thought we were a party of 3, but that was the time we booked for, my partner said no, it should be table for two, then she thought it was table 25, but it was table 23, no problem though, my partner asked for a few drinks of beer, but the girl had no idea what he was saying, so he went up with her to the bar himself, we had beef as it looked lovely, but it was very fatty, roasters lovely, gravy watery, parsnips were okay, very dry though, Yorkshire pudding okay, swede not much taste, will probably go back, so went to pay at the bar, my partner showed his credit card but the girl ignored him completely, and went to the back to bring more bottle out, again the girl completely ignored him, and she walked passed us for the 2nd time, we were ignored by the young girl behind the bar, so we looked around and saw two staff and they took the bill and we paid, however, we will go in the evenings, as my partner said when he took his parents on a week day for lunch, he said the food was much better, but we will never on a Sunday again.

Wow! This place is great! Amazing roast! Generous portions of meat, choice of meats and beautifully cooked spuds with perfect selection of veg. We eat out fairly regularly and this is the only place that offer a fruit salad on their sweet menu and it was a huge portion! So refreshing! Friendly staff and our waiter was brilliant! Made sure we were happy, was polite and courteous. Highly recommend this restaurant and we will definitely be regular customers from now on. Thanks Swans Nest 👍 See you soon 😊

Catered to our needs very well when it came to our 4 year old who wanted something not on the childrens menu (but I daren't pay for an adult size). They were more than happy to accommodate this request, which made for a happy start to the evening. The waitress was great, and food was delicious. Most of us opted for carvery, those who didnt tboroughly enjoyed their meals. I'd forgotten about this place for many years, and I'm glad I came across it again. Thank you for having us 🙂

The setting was lovely and staff were ever so friendly. I had beef and gammon which was delicious and so many vegetables. I personally like my potatoes crispy and well done but they were not here. This is a case of preference for me though. They tasted healthy which for some I guess would be good I just prefer mine really crispy cooked in oil. Overall a lovely place.

Popped in here after a few long hours spent in Marsh Barton. Was looking forward to the carvery but we just missed it. It was very quiet as it was their in between time but food was still being served. We opted for 2 carvery baguettes and 2 red Thai curries. All were absolutely delicious. Service was good and food well priced. Will be back again to try the roast!

Really poor service, had to ask for menus and then for our order to be taken. Drinks came very slowly, and were mixed up. Table only half cleared after we'd finished eating with one plate still there after we left. Waited so long for the bill we eventually went up to the bar to pay. Wasn't busy enough to explain the very poor service. Food was OK, typical carvery.

Terrible meal. Steak burger just your bog standard burger from the wholesalers, not a high quality burger it suggests and misleads the staff - even our server admitted it wasn’t what it described. Chips and onion rings swimming in oil. Staff messing about behind the counter and eating deserts off the tray with their hands - no gloves or PPE worn and messing around behind the counter and behaving in an extremely unprofessional way. Staff willingly slagging table off within earshot. Manager won’t accept that a frozen burger from wholesaler shouldn’t be described as a steak burger. Won’t be returning.

Friendly village pub. Stayed for a couple of nights. Room was a bit tired and damp. If you are on business and want to have breakfast you will probably be out of luck as it is served between 9-10am. Good selection of ales and cider. Everything just a bit sticky.
