We visit this pub often with family and it has always been good. Our only complaint is what has happened to the handcut chips they used to be lovely and now they are hard and dry and spoil the meal to be honest. I hope this comment can be taken as a constuctive comment as i dont like to slate business's that are working hard to do there best and make a living. However if nobody tells them it wont get changed and i have spoken to others recently who have said the chips used to be lovely wonder whats happened. Hopefully this will get sorted and we will get the old chips back. Heres hoping

It has been a while since I visited the White Swan but found myself visiting there twice this week. First I visited on Wednesday with my Chief Taster, my Grandson. On this occasion we both had the Sizzling Duck. Cooked to perfection not to cooked & not to raw with an excellent Pink Tinge throughout. Today I was accompanied by my Wife who due to being in the catering Trade with her Mother & Father can be very critical. I had the Pork complete with all the trimmings, Stuffing & Apple Sauce, carrots not cooked until the life was cooked out of them and a further selection of seasonal veg. My Wife settled for the Northumberland Lamb again with the trimmings, which she remarked was tender a beautifully cooked. Would I recommend - Without a doubt. We have booked again for Sunday Lunch.Were the Staff OK. - Certainly very friendly and attentive.Give it a try, lying in a small lovely village it is well worth the trip.

On a walk from Wylam. As we had our dog we had to use the tepee which had a real fire which was perfect. Drinks and snacks were a good price with the hot choc exceptional value (and calories). Staff friendly and provided great service. Thanks. Why don't you advertise down at Riverside as cafe closed and the pub is not far and worth the walk based on our experience.

Excellent pub restaurant serving delicious homemade food. The pub and dining area are spotless. The service is top class and the food is top notch. The menu has a wide range of options to suit everyone and there’s a good range of beers wines and spirits. There’s also a lovely private beer garden at the rear of the pub. Will definitely visit again.

We have visited this pub several times over the past few years and it never disappoints. We have family in Northumberland and we live in the Durham Dales so it's a halfway point for us to meet. The pub is welcoming and friendly, the staff are so efficient. But the most important thing of all is the food obviously. We have had fish and chips, pies etc. all fantastic value and quality food, well presented. The Sunday lunches are the best around. Huge portions of beautifully cooked food and a range of lovely starters and mouth watering deserts. Completely brilliant pub. I almost don't want to tell you about it in case we can't get a table but you'll thank me for sharing it with you! :)

Great pub, very traditional and everything you could want from a local. The kids park out back is beautiful in gorgeous surroundings. Extensive menu and good selection of beers/ales/drinks. Only improvement is that maybe staff could give you a minute to get seated instead of following you around with big menus. It was quiet when we went and were moved from our chosen table because it 'wasn't the best spot for meals'. Slightly embarrassing after we were moved to indicate we were only there for drinks! Maybe ask first if patrons intend to eat.However, staff were very nice and friendly.

Very helpful and friendly service.Food was amazing - meat eaters in the group said Sunday lunch was fantastic. Deserts were amazing and excellent when you’ve got little ones - nice and safe garden area/swings/slide.

As a lovely treat, our Son and his wife took us here for Steak Night on Monday evening. Was it good? No, it was better than that! The pub itself is lovely inside but it was a beautiful evening so we sat in the garden at the rear and this was a good choice. The deal on steaks was something like two steaks and a bottle of wine for £25 - £30, sorry, can’t remember as we weren’t paying but whereby quite often on these deal nights, the steaks can be pretty average and the wine naff, these were very very good rumps and a seriously tasty Malbec. Highly recommended and may even be back next week.

Every element of Sunday dinner is perfect here. The meat, or the nut roast, the veg, roasties, gravy and the Yorkshires. Service is prompt and courteous and price is very reasonable. Desserts are divine and generous. It is great to sit in the garden. Even in heavy rain there is robust cover available. There is not much parking but it is an added delight to park at or near Prudhoe station and walk over the bridge. There is quite stiff competition locally for Sunday dinners with plenty of choice and this is clearly the best.excellent for family get togethers.

Due to the pandemic all bookings have to be made in advance which I did. However, a glitch in the booking system had not recorded our reservation with the pub. After showing my reservation confirmation the owner did everything to ensure that we had a good evening and managed to get us a table. Which was under shelter with a heater, which was better than the garden table that I had originally booked. A lovely lady waited on us, even though it was extremely busy, service was excellent and so was the food. The meal was cooked to perfection. This in one of the best pubs in the area, really pleased it is back open.

We also had a takeaway during coronavirus and the service was safe and professionally handled. The food is unreal and the staff are just lovely, you can tell it’s family ran business and it’s just lovely to see as a customer.Thank you for our beautiful family dinners can’t wait to return after coronavirus is gone until we will support you by takeaways and trying all of your amazing Desserts

As a frequent diner here for work team lunches and meeting's, I checked on line to pre order for 10 people, the menu online was great and has an excellent offer on for pizza and Pasta £10 for 2 dishes ... When i called to pre order, I was told by the waitress that that offer was only on a Tuesday, Nowhere on the menu does it state the times and date of this offer, I think we should have been honored this price as it what it states on line but we were not and for that reason i'd be a bit reluctant to go back.

We must be averaging over 15 to 20 visits to the White swan per year, we were devastated when we heard of the fire recently but everything is back to it's best. I had my favourite lamb,so tasty and lovely veg and rich gravy, my other half had turkey which was moist and flavoursome. We are always greeted as if old friends and nothing is a problem from owner to bar and waiting staff.get yourself down to the riverside and enjoy the delights.

Myself and my partner called in to check out the place since the fire. Looks a bit cleaner in certain parts. We stood at the bar and waited a while, a man came to the bar after us and was promptly served......we were almost going to leave when the girl finished her conversation with him and came to us. We got our drinks, and chose our meals. We ordered and didn’t have much of a wait.....one of the meals was a burger and we presumed that we would have to wait longer for that but once it arrived we could see why it hadn’t took long, we were expecting a juicy homemade burger but was t homemade and was dry as sticks. The meal I had was a pasta which had too much chicken in which was also dry and obviously added to the bland sauce afterwards. No one offered any sauces or even asked if everything was ok, had they done then we would have voiced our opinions but to be honest we didn’t even see any other members of staff......most were preparing to go home!! The prices of drinks seems to have increased since reopening aswell.

I recon this place loses a lot of custom because it’s not dog friendly, 8 of us would have stayed for a few hours yesterday but couldn’t because we had a dog with us. Fair enough not in the restaurant but you need to get with the times, people like to walk their dog and stop for a pint....must be one of the only “not dog friendly” country pub for a few miles

I visit here every weekI love the atmosphere and the staff are the places thing about it. But the garden is desperately outdated When it’s warm they’re all over Facebook to come enjoy the garden. The slides the swings are borderline dangerous. The bikes in the garden which are obviously old Christmas presents are rusted and very dangerous Indeed Such a waste of a garden Benches are falling apart Menus are the same all the time have been for years. The specials board never changed either. Must make a fortune too. Sadly the if you e kids. Hate to say it. But the Adam and Eve has a better garden and menuMy opinion of this place has changed sadly. Sunday only Sunday lunch’s Alienating people not everyone wants a lunch on a Sunday. Seen people get up once they find out.

We took our Mum for her birthday on Saturday, we ordered at the table, the girl on looked new do when she took our food order we ordered more drinks. We waited and waited and I had to go to the bar to ask for them to be told that they don't take drinks orders? Ok, well they have in the past. Good was lovely, got bill and noticed my husband had been charged for an extra beer. Knew we couldn't prove it, but was determined to let them know. One switched on dark haired girl refunded me his drink as she said there had been a mix up. I thought they would be with the long wait we had and I had written everything on my phone ( we have been stung in the past elsewhere). Just got my receipts put to check in and noticed that I was charged for an extra drink too, which I did not notice, probably because a sniff of a drink can make me tiddly! It's too late Now, but I'm well annoyed, I know they were busy, but I do not like being ripped off.

The atmosphere in the bar was great and the locals and staff alike were lovely. The rugby result didn’t go quite as we expected but the thats rugby for you. The young lady behind the bar was as probably the best barmaid I have seen in many years. She was simply superb. This is the second time I have visited for a sports event and the third time for food and we will continue to return again and again. Well done White Swan!

Visited with friends last week having never been before but have friends who live in the area. We ordered food and drinks and I was overwhelmed by the choice on the menu, there were loads of things to pick. We each had something different. I ordered a pepperoni pizza and some hand cut chips, others had steak, salmon, burger and hunters chicken. Couldn’t manage a desert but the rest of my friends did, they looked amazing. There was a nice atmosphere, staff were friendly and prices were good. Will definitely be returning.

We went for Sunday lunch and as always it was delicious. Huge amount of meat and a lovely selection of 5 vegetables all steaming hot and freshly cooked. Great price as well.

Second visit to this establishment in the heart of Ovingham, Northumberland....this time mid-week and the place was not too busy but still very welcoming. The staff were attentative and engaging. The choice of food dishes is excellent. Friend and I opted for the Fajitas, Halloumi and Chicken with a portion of cheese and salad. The presentation of the tortilla wraps with the sauces dishes of guacamole, sour cream and salsa was wonderful and then the sizzling plates of main ingredients arrived cooked in spicy sauce with onions and peppers. There was enough to actually feed two on each dish. Not a morsal was left at end of the night, fantastic tastes and so filling. Definitely a favourite of mine now, however be warned the portions are huge and very filling. All of this with a soft drink and a coffee came to less than £14 each. Cannot recommend this place enough. Thanks for a great night!

Visited yesterday night (Friday 14th Dec), table of 9 for our work’s department Christmas night out. Fantastic food and service as expected; I’ve never been let down by this place. I’ve been a handful of times for lunch- £8.95 for a large, homemade pizza is such a bargain considering how delicious it is. All 9 of us were very satisfied last night with all 3 courses- the pan jus (gravy) with the turkey from the Xmas menu was incredible; meaty, homemade. I would have drank it straight from the gravy boat if I could !!!! A large variety of veg cake with it, gorgeous Yorkie Pud. All staff were accommodating, specifically the kind waitresses when I asked for more gravy etc. Nothing was too much trouble. Everyone was happy to help. Highly recommend and will definitely be visiting more often!! Thank you for a lovely night with wonderful food and service.

Sunday lunch with son & daughter, fabulous food, great service, gravy snobs loved the gravy, only negative was the roasties, not roast but deep fried & uncooked in middle. Won’t stop us coming back though & next time I’ll make sure I’m not working later so I can have some of their lovely Swan Ale.

Called in for lunch with my sister on a Saturday. We both had fish finger sandwiches with chips and salad. Came quickly and was absolutely delicious. If I lived closer I would visit more regularly. Young girls serving were really pleasant and helpful.

We found this pub by accident and popped in for a Sunday roast . The young staff were lovely and The food was terrific . The roasties were amongst the best I’ve tasted and extra gravy was offered automatically. We shared a pudding , Eton mess , which was nicely presented and tasted great
