We found this pub/restaurant on the web and it seems to have had decent google reviews. We were a party of 7 and wanted somewhere to have an early evening meal after visiting a National Trust property. I thought it strange that on booking we were asked to pay a £10 deposit each, then, asked to pre order our food the day before?!?! This should have raised alarm bells however we still went with it. We found the place easy enough and had booked for 5pm we arrived on time and the staff were very helpful and friendly and clearly wanted us to enjoy our time there. The food came out very quickly and it soon became apparent that it was NOT freshly cooked but simply reheated from previous prep. I had...
Having recently moved to the village we checked out the website for The Swan/Foinavon. Several pictures of restaurant quality food was enough for us to pay a visit. Our first visit, for lunch, was disappointing. The food shown on the website does not appear on the menu. In fact, all that does appear on the menu is anything takeaway able. We ordered anyway. The burger was ok, the pizza was ok however the soft white rolls were not good. Obviously reheated in an attempt to freshen them up, they were dry and the fillings bland and unseasoned. Our second visit, for Sunday lunch was even more disappointing. Two of us ordered a roast. What arrived was frozen food given a blast in a microwave. Not g...
The Compton Swan or Foinavon is now under new management. The new landlord and many of his team moved from the George and Dragon in Upton, which they had made very successful. The menu has a nice selection of pub food and continues to be as good as it was at the George and Dragon. We and our friends particularly enjoyed our very generous and tasty Sunday lunches. We were never been disappointed at the George and Dragon and are sure the same high standard will continue at the Foinavon. We look forward to visiting often to enjoy the garden in the summer and the nice restaurant area in the winter and wish Ken and his team every success.
The restaurant recently underwent a change in management in 2023, and the improvement is impressive! The pricing for the food is just right for what Compton needs, the new look of the restaurant on the outside is fantastic, and it's great to see locals returning and the owner interacting with customers. The restaurant has definitely improved since the new owners took over, but don't expect fine dining - it's more of a standard pub grub spot with a larger local presence than in previous years.

I visited this restaurant with my family for a meal on a Sunday afternoon. The menu mainly consisted of lighter pub fare such as pizzas, ciabatta sandwiches, and salads. Unfortunately, the food lacked flavor, particularly my mango and halloumi salad which was bland and lacked any dressing. The staff seemed disorganized and confused. It's a shame because the restaurant has potential to be a great pub.
What lovely people, broke down this morning from Bournemouth on the way to Coventry for a funeral, the staff/owner kindly arranged for a friendly mechanic to come out gave coffee on the house. So nice to meet kind people, we have just made the crematorium, thankyou all especially Bob the mechanic for saving the day, enjoy a few well earned beers on us later tonight Many many thanks Malanie Cameron
A mate and I had a very pleasant cod and chips lunch with a couple of pints today. It was SO GOOD to find a pub with gluten free beers. My Speckled Hen was very welcome and my associate said that the bitters on tap were good also. Why on Earth do most pubs not stick a few bottles of GF beer in the bar? Service was great and we’ve no complaints. Thank you.
Stupidly expensive rooms, very poor quality for the price in a village in the middle of nowhere. beyond noisy. Not a good place to stay as zero sound proofing so pub noise and music constant in room until way after midnight on a Thursday. Bed was horrible and poor quality. Shower room stank of sewage. Overall horrible stay for the excessive price. Reserviere jetzt einen Tisch
We had a delightful family dinner on a Wednesday evening with the kids. The staff was very understanding and patient with our children who were overly excited about Halloween. The decorations were fantastic and really added to the atmosphere. The food was delicious, classic pub fare. I would definitely recommend trying the rodeo burger.
A absolutely gorgeous wee country bar, bar staff and owner are so welcoming. We spent 3 days in the village and 3 evenings hear we had the best time highly recommend we can't wait to go back
