We went here on a Wednesday evening, 4 X carvery £63. When you hear that price, you expect a good meal. This place was truly awful many years ago when I worked there so naturally, I tried to put my sister off choosing this for her birthday dinner. I'm pleased to say that the carvery was good, but the place itself is somewhat rundown. When you go in, you are hit with an awful smell and dated decor. The only things about the food that let it down was the dessert and the price. Another £28 on 4 slices of dry cake. Most places do not charge for soda water, but this place does and don't get me started on the price of a glass of cola. The service was pleasant, can't fault the waitress or the chef. Not sure if I'll be returning, the food was nice but you can get so much better for that sort of money.

Beautiful pub. Great location. Friendly staff. Let down by the calvery. Meat good but veg frozen and heated through so no flavour and not a great texture. Cauliflower cheese runny and not much cheese due to frozen cauliflower so limp flavourless. Real shame as could have been so much better.

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.

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.

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.

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.
