Gissons is local to us and we visit regularly. Since the new owners took over the restaurant has improved greatly and we often pop in for a "senior citizen" special lunch or a Sunday lunch - especially their nut roast which is excellent! The carvery vegetables are well cooked, not over cooked, and the choice is interesting. Vege gravy is... More

Potentially a lovely old property with character and charm, reality is very dissapointing, although the staff were friendly and polite. Real Ales mostly not available, restaraunt offers poor qulaity at fair prices although the carvery is kind of o.k. Won't be rushing back despite it being recommended to us. I'm told the accomodation has all been recently upgraded, perhaps they'll... More

I stayed at the gissons on business and wasn't disappointed. I stayed in one of the rooms at the top of the house, spacious and modern. Great service, friendly staff, great price and lovely breakfast too. For £55 this is a great quality hotel. More

We only ate at the Gissons for a quick Sunday carvery whilst passing by (saves cooking as it was getting late) The outside looks like a traditional olde worlde pub by the side of the A38/M5 - good access off the road. Big car park and tidy inside, although typical old style pub trying to be gastro in it's decor.... More

My husband and I have been here twice in the last few months for Sunday Lunch. I normally steer clear of carvery's, as not a great fan of serve yourself food that has often been left out for hours!), hoowever I am now a convert. The carvery at the Gissons is different, really fresh and good quality with lots of... More

We stopped here for a bite to eat on our way to Ivybridge. Very impressed with the food and didnt take long once ordered. The barman was very chatty and friendly. It was middle of the afternoon so very quiet. I would definately recommend stopping here for a meal. It was lovely also because it is just off the motorway... More

We stayed for one night and were happy with the friendly and helpful service, clean and pleasant room and great food. How disappointed we were then that because our room was so badly ventilated we were unbearably hot during the night. So much so that we had to have the fan on all night which was quite noisy. Please get... More

Popped in to The Gissons on a busy Sunday afternoon, and was immediately impressed with the warm welcome from Margaret behind the bar. The carvery was fantastic with 3 different meats, roast and new potatoes, yorkie puds, and 4 different veg with lovely gravy. The ambience in the restaurant was lovely and without doubt, it was the best carvery I've... More
