The White Swan in Derby

Great atmosphere, good food just what you want from a proper pub.

Very good service would recommend to anyone.

Great proper pub, excellent outside area

Very good pub grub. We usually pre book for lunch as it can get very busy.

Great food. Fabulous carvery. Lovely pub.

Excellent Carvery..bit tight for ditting room area.

Nice place, good prices and to top it all off they serve liver and onions

Lovely atmosphere and good food. Definitely recommend the Sunday carvery.

Best to book (which is easy to do now it is online) as most tables reserved when we arrived. No complaints at all regarding the food, drinks or service. Unfortunately, we were sat next to a large group of people whose children were constantly making noise on their electronic gadgets. Fortunately, we were able to move so not a major issue in the end.

Really brilliant carvery. Everything cooked to perfection.

Great experience from start to finish. To combine all aspects together is a triumph. WELL DONE Will definitely be going back. 👍

Unfortunately it’s a ‘pub’ for eating, not drinking. Stopped for a few beers but after 10 minutes a sign appeared on the table (in the bar) saying it was reserved and the time approaching - just stopping for one then. You could at least not allow tables to be reserved for food in the bar area. It’s a shame because it could be a nice pub.

Really good lunch and excellent service. Very reasonable prices.

Nice local pub with a excellent atmosphere

Lovely food all came out at the same time, would definitely recommend and we will be back again. Service spot on staff so friendly fantastic night. Thank you see you next week

Visited with a friend for drink. Really enjoyed there. Good value for money. Friendly environment.

Always an absolute pleasure coming to the White Swan 🦢 Food and drinks are always refreshing and delicious, staff are professional yet warmly welcoming. Many memories had here through the years (born in Derby now living in Scotland). Highly recommend as there's restaurant area and bar area with TV and Footie matches on, so easy to feel relaxed. 🌹

Moved to the area not long ago, this pub is lovely, all the food we have had has been well made, tasty and good priced. The bar staff are welcoming and polite. Each time we’ve been in we’ve had the same waitress, she is absolutely lovely, very friendly and has made us feel very welcome. We’ll be visiting a lot more, thank you for being so welcoming and friendly.

Staff were incredibly nice and the food was tasty, I would highly recommend this establishment.

Nice food ,ambience, and very friendly service. This has become our badminton club's local now, a pint or 2 with scampi fries after a 3 hour session every week.

Went there as a large group and everyone was so accommodating and friendly. Food was lovely and a great price. Will definitely be back :)

This is our local pub and always loved it Visited today for the first time in a while but had to sit outside as the bar area stinks of dog!!! It's disgusting. What a shame as the food, service, staff, ambience, beer is great. It wasn't even a wet day, it was dry. But that doggy smell is just too much in a small bar. Gross. We pay good money for drinks, the dogs don't!!!! Get them back outside only!!! 🤢🤢

We booked a table for four and were happy with our dining experience here. Portion sizes just right, a good choice of meals on the menu and friendly service. We opted for the lighter portions which we found to be generous.

Good food bar staff good easy to talk to

Took ages to get served. Seem lots of local people that seemed to get served straight away. It is a nice pub but is very slow service.

The best Sunday carvery in Derby I go quite often it’s such a friendly place and great value make sure you book though because it gets really busy

1st time visiting after recommendation Went for a cavery ok for what it was. Tasted better Yorkshire pudding , parsnips, and roast potatoes else where.Meat and gravy ok

Lovely local village pub. Its always absolutely heaving inside so if you want a table make sure you reserve. Great ales and food. Portion sizes are massive. Even the light bites are huge so you won't go hungry. Very friendly staff that always have a smile of their faces. We're always asked if we've enjoyed the food and if we're at the bar there's always chit chat with every bartender!

Busy vibrant pub great evening out with family

Friendly welcome on a busy Monday night at this popular establishment, just a few hundred yards off the main road in Littleover. Good selection of well kept ales available. Very busy on the food front, most tables in the "restaurant" side were occupied. Good Beer Guide and Cask Marque accredited too.

Lovely busy pub, in the heart of Little over. Lovely community feel. So friendly and welcoming. Food was delicious and home cooked. We had a lovely time for our work Christmas meal

Foid was lovely, quick and good price, service was good. The lady who served us couldn't do enough. Thank you. Steak sandwich/wrap is a must.

"Great pub, friendly staff, large choice of drinks and fab food

Came back again after few months, no table booked, restaurant packed and despite that, we were accommodated to the bar area. Waited a bit for the food, but it was worth the wait. Staff friendly as usual, fish and chips still one of the best but I would also recommend the gammon steak: really juicy and tasty. We will definitely come back !

It depends on how us individual feel and wish for the happy experience to follow from atmosphere of the pub.

Loved the place great choice of ales n beers and great food

A lovely cosy lively atmosphere. The carvery was amazing. Meats so tender, tasty choices of veg, the potato s soft and delicious and the gravy was soo nice.

We went on a busy Saturday evening.. We had booked a table, as we had been told we needed to book well in advance. It was loud & busy when we arrived at 7pm, we were shown to our table with our 2 friends. We read the menu & waited to be served. Unfortunately, we were unaware that the food & drink had to be ordered from the bar, we assumed the orders would be taken at the table. That being said, all 4 meals arrived at the same time, well presented. I had ordered a rump steak, which was nedium, as I had asked for. We all really enjoyed our meals, which were well cooked & presented. We enjoyed our visit, & will definitely be back

I have heard the food is excellent, but I was unable to book a table, decause no-one would answer the phone. Iefy a message as requested to, but no one called back Very Disapointed. I won't bother again

Order 2 chicken tikka masalas with everything, and a children’s cheese burger meal. Everything came out wrong, and I mean everything. Waited for it to be corrected and was told “The £49 doesn’t cover the rice and popadoms so that will still need to be paid for”. Curry came out swimming in oil, so exchanged for a lasagne. Lasagne was more of a deconstructed lasagne soup. Fluff and hair was all over the child’s meal, especially on the plate, carrots and bun of the burger. OVERPRICED GARABE. Go elsewhere if you value your money and want a proper meal, ok if you lost your taste buds to Covid.

Very welcoming friendly staff, good selection of real ales. Especially when a coach load decended on them out of the blue.

Good meal could have been a little hotter if I'm being picky. Good service friendly atmosphere.

Brilliant atmosphere Very friendly customer service nice pint highly recommended nice food 24 chicken wing are very nice

A very attentive and focussed barmaid today. Remembered our selection the next time we ordered. Not as noisy as it can be when the TV competes with raucous voices..

Not been for a while, beer still excellent going again soon 👍

Nice Pleasent Pub, didn't try the food wich looked nice.

Lovely little pub, always pop in for a bite to eat on almost every visit down to see my son. Great tasting food, nice atmosphere, very pleasant / friendly and helpful staff, good selection of drinks and a beautifully put together outside decked space to enjoy the beautiful weather

enjoyed the night it did help winning the darts

Cracking Sunday lunch well worth going

I’m so pleased that I have rediscovered the White Swan. Wonderful beer scrumptious food all served in a great setting. Staff are great and helpful.

Very friendly service with lovely customer service towards the customer 😍😍😍

As wonderful as always. Lovely food and plenty of it. Great choice on menu. Highly recommended.

We were fit in at short notice. The lady behind the bar was really friendly and very helpful. Had garlic and cheese bread starter which was absolutely lovely. I had fish and chips which was lovely and my partner had a spicy chicken dish which he really enjoyed. A very quaint place to eat . Cant wait to return 😍

They say this place is dog friendly. Ugh. I walked in and a member of staff, rudely and immediately said, "You can't come in with him" (my dog). I didnt have a chance to ask if he could come in. It turns out, obviously, they don't like dogs in the busy restaurant between the hours of 12.00 to 14.00 I decided to try again on a sunny day we sat outside, with the dog, I walked inside and a very nice chap served me to the two cups of tea, delivered to us outside. A change of my opinion - very nice very well presented. There was a gent in the bar with a dog? What!!! Double standards spoiling the opinion. This is off my list to go again.

Littleovers finest public house, where alcohol intoxicating is at its peak on weekends.

Very nice outside garden but it is difficult to get there with mobility problems. Stone steps going down to pub entrance, then wooden steps going up to seated area. So parts of the wooden floor by the stairs were uneven, making it difficult to get up and down with walking srick because the floor wobbled.

Slow service behind bar, the young girl was rude and ignored me at bar, couldn’t get served. Customers standing around , won’t be visiting again.

Very nice pub for food. Pleasant staff and good service. Gets busy so you do have to book a table.

Outstanding food at a very good price. Very friendly polite staff, will be back again tomorrow night, here for the weekend for WSBK. Highly recommended 👍

Came in for Fathers day with 2 other people. The service was great, very friendly staff, and the food was a different class! The best roast I and the two others agreed with me, would 100% come again!

Very nice friendly Customers , must try the food..

My local. Quite a "mature" clientele...did somebody mention Darby & Jones (in a nice way). Lovely hosts and staff...

As usual very good. The food is always top notch.

It was kind of a last minute decision to check this place out. A picture of the menu said gluten free options available. I was amazed by how many things I was able to eat today at Sunday roast. They were able to whip up gluten free gravy and said if they had notice they could have made me gluten free Yorkshire pudding.

A free house so always a good selection of beers to go at... Good home food lots of outdoor seating.. A very popular local pub with excellent service. Do not miss going here

Lovely place to stop for a drink in the sun

Staff was very friendly and polite from the start to going home

Lots of choice. Great food - careful - loads of it! Friendly, cheerful atmosphere and very reasonable prices.

The pub is nice it Does food .But we have not eaten there yet. The food looks nice . Beer is the cheapest we have been in . So that's a big plus . And it's kept well . It can get really busy and loud in the bar but the eating area it's nice if you can get a seat.

A brilliant meal. Good value for money! The staff are always very good and friendly.

Lovely food great service very pleasant atmosphere

Great little friendly pub with lovely waitresses and bar staff. We even had a few games of darts with the locals who were very nice. We'll be back soon for more nice food and a battle on the oche. Thanks!

Delicious food fantastic service and this was from the lite bites.... thank you very much

Another superb lunch , great staff and service

Visited today for Sunday dinner with friends. This was our first visit, but our friends have been before and highly recommended we try this pub. Their recommendation was good, as the meal (Sunday carvery) was first class, choice of beef, pork or turkey and an excellent selection of perfectly cooked fresh vegetables. Everything tasted perfect and all four of us agreed that it has to be the best Sunday carvery we have ever had for choice, freshness and value. Drinks service at the bar was friendly and prompt thanks to the always smiling and polite bar team and the pub has a great selection of drinks including an extensive selection of real ales. The pub has a nice warm and welcoming atmosphere and is very pleasantly decorated. For Sunday dinner it is advisable to book in advance as this pub does get very busy due to being so popular.

Really nice vibe and decor... reasonable prices, really friendly staff. Didn't order food but it looked and smelled great. Will definitely be heading there again

Love the Swan good food good selection of beers and wines good for watching football matches

Great pub. The beer is good. Nice real Ales and the food is excellent. Also the atmosphere and staff are top quality.

great food and amazing value ..shame not a little better at table service for drinks. don't miss this little gem

Lovely atmosphere with a good mix of customers. Décor and seating are very comfortable and the bar 🍺 area has 2 large TV with sky sports. Food is also served here.

Lovely Sunday carvery, well priced. The dining area was uncomfortable, and tables packed in so difficult to get by people. Not a comfortable place but nice staff.

A really nice pub. Called in again for a bit of lunch and food was spot on and a great selection of real ales. Well looked after by the friendly team.

Good atmosphere, good ale, lovely food.

Very pleasant meal in a small but homely pub.

Arrived around 16.15 and no one was serving, another customer had to shout after few minutes to get attention! Got drinks and sat down, pub not busy at all….happy days. At 16.40 was then told our table was booked from 17.30, OK, no reservation on table but we just accepted that. At 16.45, just as was getting another drink, was told table was booked for 17.00. Landlord stood by and never acknowledged issue. We quickly drank and left. We will not be back. Poor service. Expected better.

Lovely Sunday Calvery and very friendly staff. Will definitely visit again.

Just wanted to make a special mention to the blonde member of staff who was very thoughtful and attentive for my 9-month-old son. We called in mid-week for a meal (18:30, on 01/02/23) and without asking, she was kind enough to bring a couple of cooked chips out for him to nibble on as well as bringing out children's cuttlery. She also gladly provided us with some boiling water which we don't normally ask for. Food and drink all great. All the staff were friendly and helpful, but this lady deserves a mention in my book! Just need to get some Bass on the taps ;)

AWESOME. I'VE JUST BEEN THERE WITH AN ELDERLY GENTLEMAN. ALTHOUGH THE PLACE WAS FULL AT LUNCH TIME, it was possible to accommodate us. Fantastic place.

We went for the carvery 22 Jan 23. 🍖: beef was dry, turkey was good (I didn't try the pork) ****Goooood gravy****😁 Fantastic mashed potatoes maybe the best I've had at a carvery to date. 😁😁 Cold Yorkshire puddings 😓 though...which made them chewy and stale tasting. The dining space to is far too cramped, it's not designed for sitting and resting. That said if you don't mind "in and out" dining style it could work for you. The staff were great!

Foods always delicious and good value. Staff always friendly and helpful.

An early lunch before watching the Super Whites at Pride Park. Good job we got there early as lots of people being turned away. Great choice of food at very reasonable prices. Lots of real ales and great ber staff. What more do you want

Best pub in Littleover great food and atmosphere perfect.

Friendly atmosphere.Great food and a plentiful selection of beers and wine

My friend and I booked a table for lunch but we had to wait quite a while before being served. I ordered steak to be medium but it was full of gristle and was more like well done. My friend had a pie with mash which was fine. I was very disappointed because the chef woukd have seen the amount of gristle in the steak before cooking it. It was a shame the pub was very busy which of course it should be at this time of year. I didn't pay for my steak but it spoilt what should have been a nice lunch with my friend

Had the carvery here last Sunday ..the roast potatoes are to die for..if I could award the place 10 stars I would !

Thoroughly enjoyed our recent visit, food was excellent, good menu with plenty of choice, staff very welcoming and helpful. Had rang to reserve a table in bar as we had a dog and 4 adults, all made very welcome with our furry companion.

We came for a wake and the food was lovely the staff were helpful good beer selection all in all a friendly atmosphere

always a joy food amazing ..love it

Great pub to grab a pint of beer. Friendly, polite, and great staff. The atmosphere was lovely and peaceful. Will definitely be visiting more frequently now.

Booked at table for 3 at 5pm on a Friday (could not do later as they were fully booked) - strongly advise to book otherwise you may well be disappointed. Food great as always and a good range of drinks. £53 for 4 pints, 3 large mains and a pudding - can't go wrong!
