Second time here and it didn't disappoint. Great food, very attentive staff, wonderful atmosphere. And to top it all off they had lollies and huge extra long straws which were a great hit. Will definitely be back and won't hesitate to recommend.
Back at the White Swan for another great meal. Very friendly welcome, excellent service, and as for the food, it was fantastic. We were spoilt for choice with the menu and very much liked the refurbishment. The Gressingham duck was some of the best I have had, and other meals were likewise enjoyed by everyone in our party. Great beer on tap and really good atmosphere made for a superb evening out. Many thanks to Simon and staff.
This is a fantastic Yorkshire pub and restaurant. We arrived for a light lunch and the service and food was excellent. We then did an 8 mile walk from the pub, and weren't planning to dine but because it was so good at lunch we stayed for dinner! The beer, food and service was brilliant! The staff remembered us, and asked how our walk was, I can see why this is one of the best pubs in Yorkshire!
Allowed us to bring our small dog into the bar area where we had our meal for the evening. Well set out pub with very friendly and helpful staff. An excellent menu well presented and a thoroughly satisfying experience. Will certainly visit again when in the area.
I have never written a review before,but I felt I must as I enjoyed my visit so much.my husband had planned a surprise meal with my family for my 50th birthday.everything was perfect ,from the service to the delicious meal,and the wonderful setting,loved every minute,and will be back
Fantastic meal we only had one course but the duck and fish never disappoint.
After being let down by another restaurant who had a power failure. The White Swan accommodated us at the last minute for a birthday lunch. We had a lovely meal and found everyone welcoming. My daughter is in a wheelchair and found access very easy from the car park. Both food and service were excellent. We will definitely return.
Hadn't been for almost a year, always worry I might go back and it have changed and not be as good, but as always the food was fantastic, with friendly staff and great beer. Well worth the 2 hour drive, hope to be back soon.
Just had lunch here today with friends to celebrate my birthday. What a fantastic time we had. Food was fantastic and even though the place was extremely busy the service was fantastic, nothing was a problem and the staff were brilliant with the young children
We came across this place on Tuesday and had to return today to try the other meals I fancied. Great venue for all. Thank you !

Up at Ampelforth for a weeks cricket, so on the Wednesday night 9 of us went down to sample the Food as it was Fish & Chip night.
Our friends from the South experienced good Yorkshire Fish & Chips with Mushy Peas along with the great Yorkshire hospitality along with a good choices of Real Ale.
We will definitely be returning next year.
Really enjoyable lunch ππ»Had a family half term lunch recently. The food was tremendously good and the pub has a really cosy feel to it with plenty of room. We live in York and would like to come back with friends soon

Lovely food, evident personality, excellent service and genuine warmth, welcoming everyone under the cosy beams. If you are staying in the area you must make this your venue for an evening out. A rare treasure of a local pub.
Beautiful pub in lovely setting. Food is fantastic and the owners are lovely. Never had a bad meal here over the years. The belly pork and black pudding is brilliant, as is the fish pie and 5 minutes steak. Highly recommend!
Had a wonderful meal tonight. The staff were unbelievably friendly. They also knew lots about their gluten free options which was appreciated as my partner is a coeliac! We had a gorgeous steak that the chef cooked to perfection. Also the sticky toffee pudding was gluten free but still tasted sublime. Would give this place more than 5 stars if I could. Would recommend to anyone who lives or is staying around here!
A fabulous dinner experience with the family. One of our party has mobility issues and that was taken into account with our reserved seats..the food was delicious, generous portions too. The staff were friendly and attentive and made us feel very welcome...Will revisit when next in the area ππ½π₯π·

Fantastic pub food, proper Friday night teatime atmosphere and friendly, attentive service from all, including Martin. This is a great pub again and we shall return!
Brilliant service & friendly staff.
There was five of us and all of us had fantastic food. Even our daughters dog got treats from the staff, highly recommend π
What a brilliant traditional pub/restaurant.
Today six adults and two children went for lunch to celebrate a birthday.
The staff could not have been more accommodating. The pub felt very welcoming with log fires burning just the thing on a cold winters day.
Great selection of food all well presented and cooked to perfection. They even made a starter for one of the young ones that wasn't on the menu.
Good selection of drinks.
The dining area was spacious. The toilets were spotlessly clean.
There is a car park at the rear of the pub and a lovely sitting out area when the weather permits.
We really enjoyed our visit and will definitely go back there.
Well worth a visit, you will not be disappointed.
Just nipped in for a couple pints, log fire, Christmas carols, and just a comfortable place, friendly staff, will try the food next time, done pass by without calling in.
This is a great pub/restaurant. The staff are lovely and they make you feel really at home.
Fantastic quality food in a lovely setting. Friendly personal service. Dog friendly
Great Sunday lunch with good service. Will be back for the a la carte menu. π
Four of us cycled here from the campsite a mile or two over the hill. VERY welcoming and accommodating (we were a last minute booking). Menu was fantastic - at least 6 dishes I struggled to choose between! Excellent food, presentation, service and the beer was top notch! If you are in the area, be sure to treat yourself!
Could not fault the place, ate there 3 times in 3 days, lovely food, good menu and fantastic staff. A really good atmosphere. Definitely worth a try.
Up to Yorkshire from Kent. What a fantastic meal. Great staff and atmosphere. Very warm and welcoming.
Good Sunday meal at what is now our local.
Friendly, welcoming staff and delicious food in a warm setting on a cold, wet day.
