The White Swan, Southampton

We went on a Sunday for their carvery and had a great time. The food was good and plentiful. Great location with large car park. (There's lots of signs reminding people to register their cars as otherwise you'll pay a fine).

Can't fault the food or the staff, carvery has a great selection of meats and sides, always hot and fresh. Only issue is trying to get a table, new online booking system only allows to book for upto 4 otherwise shows as sold out. Restaurant area is always fully booked , yet last few times we've been the whole restaurant is empty when we arrive and when we left. Can usually get seated at bar or outside though.

First visit in a while (few years) and decided to pop in with the family for a meal. Wasn't looking for a Carvery but we all decided on this option. Can't fault the food at all. All good quality, great selection and reasonably priced. Absolutely went down a treat (empty plates all round). Will definitely be returning.

Not been here for a while so thought it would be nice to go for a carvery after work. So disappointed in the experience and food. Shown to our table and when the waiter arrived he was pleasant but trying to attend to several tables at the same time. Ordered 2 drinks and then went to get our carvery's. We had to wait until a member of the kitchen staff to call someone out to serve us as the carvery was unattended. When he arrived he seemed to be distracted while serving us and barely acknowledged our presence which I found rude. Some of the food like the Yorkshire pudding was disappointing and the roast potatoes were somehow burnt but also greasy at the same time. When we got back to the table our drinks 2 large orange juices were waiting for us unfortunately we ordered a pint of lager and a large orange juice. On the whole very disappointed in the whole experience. Didn't think staff were very welcoming and too busy.

We always love the carvery, we went a few weeks ago, we all had the carvery (midweek) there was 4 of us. . At the end, we all paid, waitress came back, said we are £3 short. We didn't realise the price had gone up, the waitress was not happy having to come back to our table..

Went for the carvery. I barely finished my normal plate and the boys I went with definetely didn't finish the extra large plate. The beef dripping potatoes are some of the best I have ever tried. Turkey was lovely and moist and very good price. We went in the winter but with the river right next to it I'm sure it is an amazing place to eat and relax in the garden next to the river

Love this cute place near a lovely riverside walk, a hidden gem known to locals? Food there is very hight pub standards and staff is nice too!

Great place for breakfast and lunch. Staff very helpful and friendly. We were there on a very busy day and they were a couple of staff down. The staff that were working were brilliant. Well done all..

We have had breakfast and carvery and the food is well cooked and plenty of it which they keep topped up.

Great price too.

Stop reading this and book a table you will not be disappointed!
