About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Great for scenic views
  • Great for outdoor dining
Welcome to The Swan Inn.

The Swan Inn, Noss Mayo is the perfect resting place after spending the day on the water or walking round the many local coastal paths.
We are a small family run pub set within the village of Noss Mayo.
We believe in serving fresh local food and drink, great service, in comfortable environment.
Come and enjoy a local cask ale and locally sourced produce, sitting in one of the most relaxing, beautiful places in Devon. We are dog and family friendly.
Being such a small, but very busy pub our storage is limited which means we always have a small menu. This does however mean that we have daily deliveries of fresh produce. Our fresh fish is delivered daily from Rex Down, Plymouth Fish Market, and our meat is supplied fresh every day by Gribbles, suppliers of the very best butchery the South Hams has to offer.
We pride ourselves on offering great alterative dishes for those with special dietary requirements, ensuring that there is always a great choice for everyone.

    We had such a lovely evening, sitting outside first with drinks and view of the river, then inside for our meal. The food was excellent and staff friendly and helpful. The sticky toffee was excellent, planning to return soon for the chocolate brownie 😁 This is the best meal we have had in a long while and all four of us had nothing but praise for the food.

    Super village pub. Cosy open fire, just perfect on a cold, rainy winters day like today. Great varied menu. Lovely food. Only criticism is my portion of Bangers and Mash was too big, but then again, I only have a small appetite! Very attentive service and great live music in the (heated) out door area.

    Lovely to have you back in, take care and we will see you next time 😍
