The White Swan in Richmondshire

Fantastic food. Burgers are great. A new dish, chicken waffle was tasty too. Welcoming staff and friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Visited for Sunday lunch and was so impressed, fabulous food, great atmosphere and attentive service. Would certainly visit again

We were staying nearby last week and visited this pub 3 times for a mixture of food and drink. 2 of us had the seafood pasta and one had a burger. Gorgeous flavours and well presented. The last occasion we had 2 meat and cheese sharing boards with some extra coleslaw and French fries. All very tasty 😋 😜 . Good pint of Estrella lager aswell Friendly and helpful staff Definitely worth a visit if you are near Gilling West

Stopped here for lunch along our journey. Great food, varied menu inviting tapas, not typical pub fayre. Very dog friendly. Lovely outdoor seating (dogs also welcome inside).

Outstanding freshly made food. A must place to visit .well worth a visit. Very handy for the caravan club site 1 mile down the road. A good stop of from the A66.

We stayed at the White Swan and stable yard for one night, the room was perfect and extremely clean! We had food in the restaurant which was tapas and honestly faultless! Service was great particularly Lucy who was so friendly and very helpful. We will be back :)

Fabulous family birthday celebration meal after a lovely walk. Delicious food in a lovely setting. The dog was made welcome too.

The service was ok and the staff were friendly enough, although I was disappointed to find that a 10% service charge had been added to the bill and told I could remove it if I wished. I didn't. The food (Sunday Lunch) was disappointing and was clearly not freshly cooked but was re-heated fare. Looking at earlier great reviews something was clearly amiss, it did cross my mind that the owners may well be away looking after their other interests in Spain which is made a great deal of on the menu.

Visited with family from London, loved the vision, loved the story, food, drink and ambiance. It certainly lived up to expectations and would highly recommend the Victoria Lager and Tuna, Fish or lamb Burgers. Kids puds were a hit too! Perfect pit stop, a stones throw from the A66.

Excellent experience of dinner for my group of 33 Ramblers. Communication beforehand was swift and helpful and the food choices were such that everyone was accommodated. Delicious food made with quality ingredients and beautifully presented. The waiting staff were terrific too, efficient and friendly. The restaurant is intimate and comfortable. I would not hesitate to visit again. Thanks Dean and staff.

A group of us arrived for Sunday lunch and were treated very well by the staff. Most of us wanted roast beef and we were told that they were out at present but would put another joint in and it would be ready in 10 minutes. We all queried the 10 minutes but they were insistent. For an appetizer they brought a couple of dishes of pork crackling which went down very well. About 30 minutes later they served up our roast beef dinners with beef that was thickly cut and looking really tasty. Unfortunately it ended there! The people who had asked for well done beef had slices that were pan fried on both sides, dry and tough. The rest of us who wanted pink got slices that were the toughest of beef ever encountered by man! It needed to have been cooked for about twice as long and then rested. The vegetables were nicely cooked and the gravy/horseradish sauce plentiful. A couple who had the pulled pork said it was really nice and tasty.

I ordered the Calamari which was inedible. It was very tough. They did change it for another dish which was ok. My husbands meal was very nice he had a brioche bun with pulled pork. The staff were very nice.

In all this has left a rather sour taste in my mouth This was booked for my sister in law pre wedding meal which required 15 pounds per head deposit ( over £400 paid) The evening itself was fine rather tight to fit everyone in at the side of the restaurant but that was OK. The food itself was nice for standard pub food but paying approximately 20-30% more than its value. To add a service charge on top of the meal is a little much for a limited actual service and having to go to the bar twice as drinks had been forgotten but in all a pleasant experience. The issue laid following this when the deposit was never refunded ( 3 to 4 weeks later) I had to chase up the refund to be told it had been completed. This was not the case and was accepted as an error to which I was asked for bank details. 2 weeks almost elapsed and it took multiple emails and a voicemail which the owners took offense to for this to be resolved. Unfortunately 6 weeks to receive a refund and for the customer to have to chase up multiple times is poor and something I would ask people to concern if planning the same type of event. In summary reasonable food but a real lack of ownership and accountability

Local campsite sadly said no parking but even towing a vehicle we parked easily - street parking. Landlady most helpful, even letting me use her phone when I had no service. Food was excellent, I had fresh tuna, partner the steak. I cannot recommend this lovely pub enough, a real treat. Lovely atmosphere, new puppy, in his box, just came to say hello! Quick and efficient service. I wish we lived nearer to return. Thank you for turning our stressful morning into a wonderful lunchtime. You deserve so much credit all round.

What a fabulous place! Fantastic location, excellent food, brilliant service and a gorgeous room for our 2 night stay.

We had the most wonderful family meal to end our holiday in North Yorkshire. A terrific family-run, high quality gastro-pub, with brilliant friendly staff. Every plate of food was a winner. You sometimes read reviews of ‘Spanish inspired’ food and get a piece of chorizo...

Had a great evening, food was fantastic and excellent quality and the sticky toffee pudding was the best we have ever had, good choice of beer and wine and staff very welcoming, look forward to a return visit. Thanks Paul

Popped in for lunch whilst walking the dog. If this sounds like a casual ‘discovery’ then it wasn’t. We’ve been here before and so purposely planned the walk around the pub. We were surprised to find the pub virtually empty on a bright (but cold)...

By review of the Swan is based on being one of 4 Vegetarians in party of 10 - the place wasn't chosen by me for a family get together but the organiser was assured that they did do veggi options, despite being known for being...

Lovely cosy pub in a very picturesque location. Staff very welcoming, friendly and efficient. And the Sunday lunches were absolutely fantastic - topped by perfect, oven-fresh Yorkshire puddings, and then followed by fantastic desserts. We'll definitely be returning.

We booked for a Saturday evening as was stopping nearby about 2 miles away with family. On the outside was a traditional country pub in a small village but on entering it was a relaxing modern restaurant in a cosy atmosphere. Staff were friendly and...

Stopped for drinks on our Richmond walk. Olde worldie pub in traditional style. Best pint of beer I’ve had in a long time. Friendly staff food looked good. We will definitely be back.

I haven’t been here for a while, but I’ve been following the lovely food on Instagram so was keen to give it another try. Lovely and cosy inside, and the food was lovely. But I have to say what was refreshing was the excellent staff....

Broke our journey here for dinner, we did book and glad we did as they were busy. We sat outside at the front and watched the world go by. We had shared platters to start then mains and pudding. All delicious. Service was good too....

Absolutely fantastic food, superb staff and a great place! I would definitely recommend it to everyone and we throughly enjoyed the food. To avoid disappointment I would recommend booking in advance

Called in based on trip adviser reviews - and it turned out to be real gem. Lovely and clean, staff helpful, and attentive. Food great- Casa Burger, House Burger and Chicken Spit - all really well presented and super tasty. Tart Au Citron for dessert...

We sat outside as we had the dog with us and the staff were very accommodating and efficient. It certainly isn't the cheapest but that said the quality of both the cooking and the ingredients was spot on.

food and cocktails what a fab afternoon great service food excellent, burgers great quality my Hake was cooked perfectly. didn’t have room for dessert must try harder next time. would highly recommend a visit will definitively visit again

We were staying at the CAMC club site at Hargill House and wanted to eat out locally rather than cook something ourselves. We had a lovely walk down to the village and decided on the White Swan. It was a lovely warm evening and rather...

Fantastic food every time we come, staff are always great and service is spot on. Burgers are definitely one to try 😍! Worth a drive out even if you live a bit further like we do, if you want proper & delicious food!

We came to North Yorkshire for a long weekend and ate at a wonderful pub the night before and so we were looking forward to doing likewise at the White Swan. The staff were lovely but we could not say that about very burnt fries...

Once again another beautiful meal at the White Swan.... monkfish was delicious, staff attentive and knowledgeable of products, warm and inviting atmosphere. It’s why I’ll keep returning! Thanks all !!!

First time we have ever left a meal and felt robbed. Improve everything?.. dreadful service, dreadful food. We left without finishing our main course and could hear others who were not satisfied, wish we hadn’t booked during our holiday. Avoid.

What a waste of an evening. If you want chicken marinaded in lime cordial here is the place to go! Terrible food. Staff didn’t care that it was terrible. Expensive and tasteless

As we were staying close to Richmond for 4 nights, we decided to book our meals several weeks before arriving.. Saturday night we booked The White Swan, when we arrived we were shown to our table, which was in the middle of 3 other tables,...

I visited The White Swan at the weekend and will most definatly be going back. I had the cannelloni hummus to start which was to die for, followed by the hanger spit which was cooked to perfection!! The staff were brilliant and attentive throughout our...

I have to say how disappointed we were last evening at the disregard for COVID precautions the staff displayed. Whilst some of the staff wore masks, not all of the staff did, all of the time. What’s the point in wearing a mask but then...

Please disregard any negativity about this place. Dean and his family have in the last 5 years transformed this local pub into a fantastic place to eat and make memories. Casual diners we just popped in for lunch, in Xmas jumpers and wellies of all...

The swan at Gilling just gets better every time I visit! The staff are extremely friendly and go above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome and happy! The food and menu is outstanding and I couldn’t recommend this pub enough! I can’t wait until...

Fabulous food and drinks alike. I ordered the chicken souvlaki and it was absolutely delicious. All the staff were friendly and professional and made sure we felt safe and secure throughout the evening. I have no doubts that I will be returning to the White...

Everything about my experience I thoroughly enjoyed from the food to the service. There are many options from steaks to a wide range of vegan options. I would massively recommend this.

I took my son here on Friday night to cheer us up. As always fabulous food, attentive service and great to see the pub busy whilst following Covid guidelines. I can thoroughly recommend both the squid and the steak but there was no room left...

This pub is so wonderful, the food is delicious! The atmosphere is brilliant and very safe. Cannot recommend it enough. The Sunday roast menu is also varied and super tasty! Best Expresso Martinis around!

We called in today for a quick bite to eat ... and didn’t want to leave. A very warm friendly experience and a fab roast beef dinner, Malbec was pretty lovely too! Locally sourced produce that we really like. This family go the extra mile...

Gastro pub with a very warm welcome and delicious food. Menu is limited due to Covid but still found something we both enjoyed - rib eye steak and a lamb kofta.

Great little venue - fire in the main bar immediately feels welcoming. Great and efficient service gave confidence of a safe visit. Food was fantastic - we had Sunday lunch classics (roast beef and chicken supreme) and an amazing starter of tandoori smoked mackerel, amazing....

I love a place that actually makes the chips themselves and paired with the steak its been a great meal on both visits. The selection of starters we shared didnt disappoint either. Great decor, food and pints!

The food is gorgeous, could not fault it. Place its self is lovely, with log fire keeping the place toasty warm and staff very friendly.

Delicious meal, would highly recommend! Street food inspired menu which might not be to everyone’s taste but this is the nicest meal we’ve had in a long time and we are ‘foodies’. We thoroughly enjoyed it, felt 100% safe and service was excellent.

Stumbled on this beaut of venue after pulling off just past Scotch Corner én route to Newton in the Wood....ordered Cold Rosé wines and delicious Lamb burgers and home made chips, sublime sauces and dips sat in a fabulous rustic herb strewn beer garden.... Great service and friendly young lady waiter service. Simply wonderful. Highly Recommend you made time for this amazing place. Xx

Booked a table for the last night of our short stay in Gilling West. Good reviews and only a short stroll from our holiday let so seemed like a sound bet. Nice pub with a quirky menu and, it has to be said, it all works really well. Decided to give starters a miss but the main meals were spot on and everybody was well satisfied with their choices. Couple of the party decided to try a dessert which also went down well. Along with the welcoming staff and good service, it all made for a very enjoyable evening. If you’re in the area, worth a try.

Amazing food and service !!! What a little gem we went twice in one week . Food was amazingly delicious, even our 4 year old loved every bite . The place is beautiful with lovely outside sitting area which was blessing . Will definitely come again when in the area !

Stopped her for lunch on way up to Penrith. Great little find. Good choice of dishes, and boys loved the burgers. Friendly staff. So pleased to have stopped at this place!

Having had plenty of Takeaway burgers during the later part of lockdown it was great to be able to eat in. Squid starter and tuna main were both delicious. Perfect evening for eating outside, great service, great food.

We visited this pub twice during our week holiday in Richmond, on the first night and then the last because out of all the restaurants we visited this was our favourite. Not only was the food amazing but the service was great as well. Definitely worth a visit.

Booked a table for 6pm but arrived late did phone to let them know . The lady who served us was very welcoming when we arrived .The menu is nice good selection even during Covid I have to say this was the best burger I have ever eaten ten out of ten My friend had the lamb kofta again excellent well presented The chef at this place is worth his or her weight in gold I say this cause we ate in a well known hotel in Richmond which was very below average I can honestly say this being in catering for over 30 years

We popped in on a week night. We had such a warm welcome and the staff really couldn't do enough for us, pur young son and our dog. We had a pudding only as we had been for a disappointing meal at another pub. This made a bad night into a really nice one. We will definitely be back soon

We stop hear on our way back from Richmond, had passed a couple of times andvthe pub looked nice from the outside. We had a lovley luch one fish burger one chicken madras both were excellent. Hubby a bit unsure on the chips a bit well done for him. We both enjoed pur lunch

This place was outstanding. We came thinking that we fancied a nice pub lunch and we got so much more! The food was amazing; I cannot rate it highly enough. Simply scrumptious. The staff were friendly and extremely helpful. If you’re looking for a family oriented environment where you can get great service and lovely food, pay a visit. You won’t be disappointed. Trip advisor states that it is shut on Tuesday and Wednesdays but they are open daily 13:00-21:00. Also dog friendly.

We stayed here on Thursday night. What can I say, top notch all round. Accommodation was cosy and lovely little touches such as toiletries in the bathroom and beer in our fridge x lovely decor (shower was awesome). Pub itself is stylish with a lovely atmosphere with log fire and a welcoming feel. We didnt have kids but they have little touches around the place that shows they have thought of little touches to keep the little ones entertained...Food wise We had the fish and chips, and my was it special, all home made and chunks of fish fillet in beer batter and proper chips (not frozen ). The staff were lovely especially Lorna, who was chatty and so helpful on so many levels. Really cant fault anything. A round of applause to the owners (Dean and his wife) it really is a place you want to spend time. and you can tell they really care about their customers. thanks again, i wish you every continued success

We recently stayed here for two nights as we were attending a wedding quite close by. Tuesdays and Wednesdays the pub is closed, guess which nights we were here! However the accommodation was available and wonderful. Cosy, quiet and comfortable.A quick call ensured someone was there to greet us on arrival and adding on a request for breakfasts didn't phase our hosts, they were happy to oblige. Breakfast was delicious. Served in the pub, it was hearty, tasty and locally sourced. I imagine the evening food would be equally delightful. Thank you Dean and Victoria for a great stay.

A spontaneous meal at this pub, last time I visited was 16 years prior when working nearby and suggested this to my husband enroute to the lake district. We were not disappointed. Food was delicious and it was a great start to our romantic weekend away. Hoping not to leave it another 16 years before next visit.

Stayed in the rooms of The White Swan Pub in Gilling West for 1 night in January.

Came here for my sister in laws birthday tonight. I expected big things and I was disappointed and left hungry. I ordered the mould and fungus burger and doubled it up for the princely sum of £17.60. My partner ordered the same and we were shocked at the quality. What arrived was your standard burger patties with something that tasted a bit like an onion chutney and three scabby mushrooms on. The bun tasted very similar to the brioche ones that Lidl sell. The portion of coleslaw was also very small, two tea spoons worth and the chips were okish just not many....My mother in law ordered a battered fish dish and I was shocked at what she was served as it looked like the offshoot parts you get from a chip shop fish. The portion was meagre at best. Her partner had the posh fish and chips and spent the time grumbling that the portion was small and he’s a bloke who likes his food. The staff didn’t really interact either, serving seemed chaotic despite it being quiet and they didn’t ask if the food was ok till right at the end which my mother in laws partner said it wasn’t good and the woman just looked bemused.Unfortunately on the way home myself and my partner were hungry and we stopped off for some McNuggets to eat. I don’t think we’d come back again unless there was some drastic turnaround. At the moment it seems it’s style over substance, minuscule portions for tip top prices.

We stayed in January although I am not sure anyone knew we were there !

What a great hidden gem. Delicious homemade food and really friendly staff that went the extra mile for us. They had a new coffee machine and we were all really impressed, excellent coffee. Would highly recommend the sandwiches.

we wanted somewhere different for a quiet birthday meal and fancied a steak so googled some in the area and the white swan came up. initially seemed a bit pricey but when we go tthere the we were well impressed. lovely staff, lovely ambience, nice quiet background music which wasnt invasive. And the foood was absolutly gorgeous. We shared a starter (nachos) and they were more than ample to share. The steaks came with a lovely fresh salad (not your bagged salad) it was to die for. absoultly gorgeous i chose the peppercorn sauce and he chose the blue cheese sauce and we were both impressed with them. The chips came in a flower pot but were REAL chips unfortunatly we were both full up so never got to the pudding sections. We will be definatly going there again. if i had to say anything negative about it it was the parking facilities - you have to park on the street but other than that absolute Gem of a find.

Lovely meal at the White Swan again this evening. Attentive and well informed staff, delicious food for both adults and children, great atmosphere and a friendly chat with Dean the owner. Can’t fault the service at this delightful family pub. Sorry it’s taken so long to write a review for a pub we have eaten at many times now. Every time we dine here it gets better. Well worth a visit. Looking forward to the next time.

Lovely place friendly helpful staff, well cooked tasty food which is presented well. The pub has a modern but still cosy feel, fire is lit on a cold night. Prices are around what I would expect for what I would call a Gastro Pub.

The interior has various seating areas with subdued lighting, which suits younger people, but not older visitors. The staff were very friendly and efficient but both the menu and specials choice were limited and awkward to 'find your way' around. The wine & drinks list, however, was comprehensive with reasonable prices, and we selected very pleasant white & red wines to accompany our meals. The iced table water was very pleasant too.The vegetables accompanying the fish course comprised hard kale stalks, sprouting broccoli & new potatoes which overwhelmed the fish, and would have been much better served individually for customers to decide their own personal quantity. The after-dinner coffees were delicious.

Spent the night here at the start of me and the D's 'revisiting-our-pasts' trip; and decided to have supper here, too - glad we did! I opted for the Mould & Fungus Burger (dry aged North Yorkshire beef, blue cheese with a caramelised onion chutney) while D plumped for the Dales Lamb Kofte (locally sourced meat with Harissa spices). Both meals were delicious! And filling. Which meant we shared a slice of their local baker's award-winning treacle tart, an indulgent treat! A moment to talk about the rooms: they're great! Small but really nicely laid out. Lovely place all round.

Staying nearby had an evening meal here I chose spicy sausage and my other half chose nachos we shared these and there was plenty on plates for starters I chose lamb mortality bios and salad all delicious my hubby had king prawns and steak on skewer served with salad and chip he thoroughly enjoyed it we had no room for dessert wAitress service really good we would visit again

Returned again and as the staff is often different it's as if you have come for the first time.Our table was next to the bar-new tables where there used to be seats-and not in the proper restaurant part.Not really an issue but I booked on the Tuesday for a Saturday table.Order taken by a blonde girl - someone who refuses to smile.When she was taking payment from the customer sitting next to us she was leaning back on a chair and looking up to the ceiling as if it was a massive chore to take someone's money.We were not asked if we wanted to see the wine list and had to later ask-basic training issue-loss of revenue for the business?

we assumed breakfast was included in the price, it wasn’t. This made the room expensive. Room was clean, good shower, the bed was soft - could have been a sofa bed in frame....

Paid £4.50 for single measure of Baileys. Checked that this was correct with staff and was assured it was. Given that one litre of Baileys will cost between £13 to £20 depending on your supplier, this is a return of at least £131 per bottle on 54 typical 25g measures. I dont expect to get it at cost and i know that a decent profit is fully acceptale but anything more than £3 per measure is frankly taking the p**s. Shame because its a nice pub - but I wont be going back to be blatantly ripped off. If youre going to show contempt for your customers then at least try to disguise it!!

We’re on holiday and it’s national burger day! so having had Sunday lunch here a few days ago and having read on their website about their aspirations to be Britain’s best burger we had to return.

We ordered 3 Ribeye to be cooked medium rare and 1 Flat Iron cooked the same, what arrived was the thinnest Ribeye I have ever encountered which I can only assume was battered to death to thin it out. It resembled minute steak and was cold. Two of the steaks were cooked medium to well and the other was partially blue when they should have all been medium rate. The Flat Iron was ok but nothing special.

My wife and I visited, Saturday afternoon for a couple of decent drinks and booked the last table, the steaks were perfectly cooked. So we returned Sunday, your staff are lovely on all three times we visited, and when we return to the area again, we will be booking again x

My wife and I visited the White Swan with some friends on a Saturday evening. It was very busy, but we were fortunate to get a table.

We went to The White Swan last weekend with some friends for a meal we had been promising ourselves for for far too long.

The menu specifies the quality of the meat and butchery involved however my experience was dire. Whilst waiting for our table we saw a customer return to the bar to ask for steak knives as she couldn't cut her steak with standard knives? When I recieved my Hanger steak I understood why - the meat was extremely tough and was not even cut against the grain as is required with a Hanger. Total cost approx £80.00 for two courses. We have been here quite a few times and always had a good meal but I wonder if standards are slipping and at these prices that should not happen.

Our family was staying close by for a long weekend so decided to book a table at The White Swan for Sunday lunch. We had a warm welcome, a cosy corner table so our dogs could be out of the way and a water bowl provided for them. Food and drinks were all excellent, all staff were very attentive, nothing too much trouble. Only one downside.....after a starter of crackling and apple sauce & a mains of roast beef with all the trimmings, none of us had room to sample the puddings! Would certainly recommend a visit.

We spent the last weekend of July in Gilling West for a birthday celebration, we booked the White Swan for Sunday Lunch, there were 16 of us from age 8 to 80, the staff were really helpful and friendly, we had pre ordered our mains for lunch a couple of weeks before, the food was fantastic, everyone in the party raved about the food, some had starters and mains, some had mains and desserts, some had all three, however food was great, drinks and beer selection also great, what really made it for us were the staff, the girls and guys serving behind the bar and the food made us feel welcome and cared about our time there. Well done White Swan you did everything we asked for and more. Great place to eat and drink, thanks.

Spent the evening at The White Swan with friends for my birthday. Fabulous evening, staff were so helpful and efficient. Great varied menu and lots of healthy choices. Really loved my fish dish of the day.

There are good things about the White Swan, but overall, this was a pretty average experience. (Note that this is the White Swan near Richmond in Yorkshire – I think one or two of the reviews here actually relate to the White Swan in Richmond by the Thames in London.) When we arrived and walked in, we almost collided with a couple of members of staff, who greeted us and apologised, but then went ahead of us to the bar to discuss something (seating plans I think) with the staff there. This is all fine, except that we were left for quite a while with no one to deal with us. We then had a drink in the rear ‘garden’ area while choosing our food, but this was small and a constant thoroughfare for staff. The menu is limited and is fine if you want to have a steak, which I was happy with, but there was much less choice for my wife. My steak was good and well-cooked, but the skin-on fries were poor, and my wife’s chicken skewer was not very successful. We had a decent bottle of Ripasso (albeit expensive), but overall felt we could do considerably better in the area. We were the only diners in the restaurant on a Saturday night, which suggests that others agree.

The place is small and friendly but the menu choice was also small and a couple of the specials off the list so little choice especially for one of our party who has a seafood allergy.

We both thoroughly enjoyed our meal at White Swan and couldn't believe the quality of the food for such a reasonable price. I had fish of the day while my partner had the cygnature burger. Neither of us could pass up Gilling Mess for dessert. Accompanied by a nice bottle of Rose, we had a very pleasant evening. The staff were polite and efficient making the whole experience excellent.

A group of us stayed in Gilling West for a week - we twice dined at the White Swan. The food was delicious and the service friendly. Our one niggle was seeing the burger night advertised on the main menu for £10, yet when we went it was actually £12.50, nor was the range of beers available. However, we still enjoyed the burgers.

I had blue cheese burger it was lush my son had steak and my partner had skinny burger all fantastic . Service and price great worth a visit. Will be back again . Well done all

We had booked with booking.com . On arrival we were told that we didn't get breakfast included and that it would be £15 a head. We accepted this although thought was pretty steep for breakfast in a pub.The first morning we were given a menu clearly stating that breakfasts were included with all accommodation. I ordered poached eggs with smoked salmon and the other two ordered a full English breakfast which included homemade black pudding. The breakfasts arrived ,one of my poached eggs was runny, the other hard. The English breakfasts had no black pudding on the plates and when queried we were told that the deliveries hadn't arrived. Doesn't homemade imply made on or near the premises and as the owner states he is a butcher by trade I would expect he had made the black pudding. No alternatives were offered and presentation was distinctly lacking , with the baked beans poured over the other items.The next day I risked the full breakfast with black pudding which was lovely. But again the others had badly cooked poached eggs. We were offered no fruit juice, cereal or even toast and marmalade. On leaving we discovered the pub was unmanned , despite poor mobile signal. The owner turned up after 15 minutes. The bill was handed over, charging us for seven breakfasts when we had six, it was adjusted after he asked if one of us had had two breakfast one day? He served and cooked them so should know the answer to that. We were also then overcharged for nine coffee when three coffees and two teas had been ordered. Having had a family B&B; and small hotel in York I advised him that standards were not what I was used to. I spoke to someone who had also visited recently and she stated a member of staff had charged them £15 per head for their similar breakfast where we were charged the menu price. Exceptionally poor menu, inaccurate advise saying breakfast included then charging us and probably the worst breakfast I have eaten in similar accommodation.

We came for Sunday lunch here today! Really enjoyed the pub. Great atmosphere and lovely staff. We had starters and the beef Sunday lunch which was cooked to our liking. We asked for more gravy which was quickly brought to our table.

One positive note, the pub is situated in a lovely location, very close to the wedding barn and walking but.... Sadly on a recent stay it was not so positive. Parking could be an issue as there is no official pub car park, it is on the road side or in a bay opposite. On checking in we were shown to our room, up a metal staircase and along a metal balcony, if you're unsteady on your feet, elderly or have a disability this would be a problem and not so safe if you have had one too many! We asked if the sofa bed could be made up, but after a struggle the lady couldn't do it so went for the manager who did it for us. If we had have left the bed until our return, then it would have been 3 in a bed or the floor! The bed was left for us to make up before we ventured out. I asked "Is there a wardrobe?" Then shown a coat stand with 2 hangers on it. We had between us 9 dresses, 3 coats, 2 jackets, skirts, trousers blouses etc, where were we supposed to hang everything? and one set of drawers. In the bathroom there were no hand soap to wash hands and the toilet brush must have been years old it was absolutely disgusting and made me feel physically sick! The next day I asked for more milk and coffee which we didn't get, the room hadn't been serviced and then we had to ask for more toilet roll. On the 3rd day it was eventually serviced the overflowing bin was emptied and we were given some toiletries. It may be a lovely pub but the B n B side of it seems to be an after thought.

Small pub on road down to river - nice reliable food including very large sausage and mash with gravy which is definitely worth trying. Nice atmosphere - small garden at back. Always busy so need to book tables inside - outside tables first come. Upstairs seating also available (not obvious)! Decent range of wines.

Atmosphere: nice village pub, busy on a Friday night. Bar and restaurant areas both full. Staff: friendly and efficient Food: decent pub food, nice to see some multicultural menu as well as traditional dishes. Portions large. Price: about right for the quality and setting.

The second night in village and wow what an amazing meal staff, food,everything about it was lovely. The ambiance was lovely and the staff were really professional in their job. A lovely place to visit will be back

My husband and I have been to the White Swan twice before, so chose it for our anniversary dinner. We were both very disappointed, me because the gluten free dish I chose from the menu was not available because it now has gluten in it!

the staff were friendly and the food and prices were ok but the restaurant was cold …. we moved back in front of the fire in the bar for desserts

Would definitely recommend the Cyganature burger - one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. Everything tasted fresh, including the chips.

I planned for Sunday lunch for the family and a friend, who is vegan. I looked at a large number of Tripadvisor reviews around Richmond and the White Swan Inn looked a good choice because the quality of the roast was clear from reviews but I wanted something that looked thought about of vegan choice from the menu. I phoned on Saturday morning for a Sunday reservation so I hoped that the reality would match the plan.

Delicious home cooked food every time. Burgers are the biggest and best we’ve had. Family run pub, offers something for everyone. Staff pleasant and friendly.
