About

Welcome to Mad Swans, a new countryside hangout with two restaurants, as well as multiple activities and even eco pods you can stay in!

With creative input and guidance from multi-Michelin-starred chef Ollie Dabbous, there are two stellar restaurants on site. 

The Potting Shed

The main restaurant, with menus featuring countryside classics and hearty, homey food, with crowdpleasers such as slow-cooked beef short rib, or linguine of Brixham crab. Choose from light bites, sharing banquets, and a comforting Sunday roast. There is also a children's menu with treats such as macaroni cheese or sausages with mash and peas.

Open for lunch and dinner, Monday to Sunday, with all-day food service on Sundays; otherwise, lunch service is 12 - 3pm, and dinner service is 6pm - 9pm weekdays, and 6pm - 10pm Saturdays.

The Hangout

This easy-going pizzeria has a menu of classic pizzas and shareable snacks, plus laid-back bar games to get the party going.

Open daily from 12pm until 10pm (bar open until midnight).

 

Mad Swans also has a range of activities, including golf, padel, pickleball and darts.
