"had a fantastic lunch with friends on the buck to celebrate a birthday, service was excellent, the burger was delicious, some had crabs and they said it was also very nice. the cherry brownie desert was worth the visit, just for it. the restaurant is very clean and welcoming staff are very nice and helpful best of all wheelchair friendly for me that is one. very recommend to give the buck at honingham an attempt."

"We have enjoyed dining at this restaurant before, but yesterday we decided to try the Beef Roast. The beef itself was delicious, but the roast potatoes appeared to be frozen and the portion of cauliflower cheese was minimal. The stuffing ball was hard and dry. The Coke tasted strange, possibly due to the drink lines being cleaned. After drinking it, I felt bloated and have been experiencing abdominal discomfort and an upset stomach since."

"So disappointingBefore coming to the swan I had looked at the menu online, as my youngest child has allergies and is dairy free. It states on the menu that ‘light bites’ are GF and most can be adapted to be DF, brilliant! It was our last day of our holiday and I thought I’d treat them to a nice lunch out before heading home. Where do I start, the service attitude from the lady behind the bar was shocking. I asked what could be made DF for my son and was told that there wasn’t anything and they don’t cater for allergies?! I pointed out on the menu that they state they can and was met with an eye roll basically. Anyway, I thought I would get him some chips, nope, they fry them in the same oil as the dairy and meat products we are vegetarian ! I then asked about the VEGAN dishes they had and I was told they are also cooked and prepared for alongside the meat products so they can’t guarantee they will actually be vegan!! By this point my daughters had already got excited about eating out and the play area that I couldn’t really back track, so I went against my better judgement and ordered 3 sandwiches on granary bread and a childrens fish chips. My son had a packet of crisps. The sandwiches arrived and were absolutely awful, the cheese and onion one was 2 slices of cheap shop bought bread with some pre grated cheese and a couple of slices of onion not even any butter! It wasn’t cheap, £45 for 4 soft drinks, 3 sandwiches and a child meal. Then there’s the play area, sharp screws poking up through the wood chip, lose sharp fixings on top of the slide, and a massive electric open cable under the swings! We swiftly left, it was such a bad end to our holiday and should have been our final hurrah before driving home. Was appalled at their attitude towards me, was treated like an inconvenience, food was awful, please don’t eat there if you are Vegan, although the dish is vegan ? they certainly don’t take the steps necessary to keep it away from meat, and definitely not safe for anyone with an allergy. Such a shame as the location is so pretty with the river opposite, we were excited and left feeling really disappointed. Will not be back."

"We ate outside as it was a nice day. The outside area is very overgrown. Some TLC needed with the grass, especially under the tables. Containers with many dead plants. Not great unfortunately. Such a large outside seating area with potential but pretty drab in all honesty. We were told to avoid the Chicken Parm as for the price you don't get much food. Honest advice from the staff I must say. Presumably people base their visits on the half price specials three days per week. We weren't aware of these until we ordered at the bar. We didn't see any other signs anywhere, especially outside. Heated up food was OK, nothing special really. This place used to be a great place to eat and always very busy bud sadly now it is looking very tired and in need of upgrading. Even the car park could do with some TLC. nice to see solar panels on the roof but please invest in this place and don't let it become more run down than it already is. We also had breakfast here a few weeks ago and that too was very disappointing."

"It is two or three years since my last visit and was a very disappointing return. A billiard table has been positioned amongst the tables and a group of lads playing on it made so much noise that my friend and I could hardly hear each other speak. I had a baked potato which tasted like I was eating cotton wool so I had to leave most of it. The Copper Beech has a very large restaurant area and was quite busy for a weekday lunchtime so I assume their profits are made from quantity rather than quality. I will not return even though the staff were good."
