We were advised to order greens to go with our main meal of duck but when the duck arrived the same greens were included with the meal, so we didn't eat or need the side of greens but we paid for the untouched food. After the main course no one ever approached us for a dessert or coffee/tea/dessert wine order so we paid and left.

Good food and Service, the only issue we were very far away from the fire and there was no heating in our section so it was quite cold and we all had to keep our jackets on while eating.

We booked lunch after our beautiful Alpaca farm tour with Alex, and it was the perfect ending to our visit to the region. The host was lovely, the food delicious, and the location and ambiance just beautiful. Highly recommended a visit to The Swagman Chargrill and Softfoot Farm.

Lovely food as usual, though seems that the menu is not yet back to pre-covid standard, particularly for diners not having meat. Even meat lovers would perhaps appreciate an option for a less than 'full' serve, given main courses (especially Swagman's Grill) are large. Maybe an option for an "Entree Size" Main could be offered ??

We've been here for quite a few lunches but was a bit disappointed this time. Table service was very slow, there was 1 wait staff for 6 tables (25 people) The meals were good, well cooked but found the onion gravy a bit lacking in flavour. Our finished plates were sitting on the table for over an hour. Don't mind paying top dollar if the experience was exceptional but this time it just lacked.

The food was outstanding, I enjoyed the best dessert I have had in a long time. The welcome felt a bit rehearsed and awkward, made me feel that the host was still learning, but when the food came all was forgotten because it was delicious! I will definitely go back to try the other options in the menu, when I am next travelling through Victor Harbor.

We have been to Swagman on many occasions and have always been extremely happy with the food and service, however not so on this occasion. The service was mediocre with largely (we felt) untrained young waiters. The sauce with the duck which was suppose to be orange was bitter lemon and unpleasant and the stuffing with the lamb was quite unpleasant. I was actually quite unwell over the next 24 hours; We didn't wait for desserts. We are coming with friends again on Friday - hopefully the service etc. will have greatly improved. I have always highly recommended Swagman to all our friends but I am putting that on hold at the moment.
