The White Swan in Aylesbury Vale

Beautiful little pub with great food and atmosphere on the outskirts of Aylesbury

Just popped in for a refreshing drink on way home from our holiday, sat in pretty garden before quick visit to ladies room, so lovely and clean, such a difference from some I had to use whilst away! Will be visiting again soon to enjoy a lunch, well done White Swan!

Have just had one of the worse meals ever The wife's meal came without the onion rings my meal came with the 2 fried eggs thrown on top of the Gammon upside down and without the garden peas If you like food avoid this place at all cost

Fantastic Sunday Roast , mine was fully gluten free and absolutely lovely

We went for Sunday lunch a last minute thought on mother's day, but I can truly say it was amazing the food was fantastic fresh veg real roast potatoes and the lamb was awesome, Sharon was the lady that looked after us and she did a great job and was really lovely, it's been a very long time since we visited this pub. But now we know how lovely the people and food are we will be back... well done to you all ❤️

Good pint of Guinness. Staff really friendly.

Awesome pub to go to with my family and friends especially from YFC highly recommend this pub to anyone in the area.

It was our first visit since new people took over. We were very pleasantly surprised. Lovely warm welcome, decor has been updated and food was lovely, especially the chips! We'll be back!! Thank you.

Visited 6 January. There a few items missing from the menu but otherwise everything was very good. Service atmosphere and food all great.

Popped in for food, which wasn't available Made welcome by the locals!

We had a really lovely Sunday lunch with excellent service.

A group of friends had our Christmas get together on 1st December making our choices from the 'Festive Menu'. I cannot praise the food and staff highly enough which made our meal that little bit extra special. The quality of the fare was excellent as was the competence and friendliness of all the staff. The pub also has a very homely atmosphere and charm with a descent selection of ales. We shall return!

The gravy as well as vegetables tasted as if they were frozen

Went in this evening as we had been driving past, for years after golf and we was glad we did, a friendly welcome from this village pub with excellent lager on tap and their house burger was to be honest "superb!!" We will be back after golf for sure, thankyou.

Husband and I popped in here for lunch when the two other surrounding pubs we tried were fully booked. The lady behind the bar was very pleasant and offered us bar or restaurant seats so we chose the restaurant. Only a small room with a few tables but beautifully decorated and very warm and welcoming. We ordered the fish and chips as well as the sausage and mash and my god were they huge! Absolutely delicious but I had to box half of my fish and chips up for another meal since I had to admit defeat about half way through. Husband commented that the gravy on his sausage and mash was especially good. Would definitely recommend for a lovely weekend meal. Good atmosphere, lovely staff and great food.

Fantastic local pub.. I hear the food is great.. but the pub is well run with charming staff.. a classic pub with great beers

Delightful small roadside pub. Large car park & rear garden. Tasty cottage pie!

Stopped here randomly on the way home from a trip out and extremely glad we did. The food was amazing, make sure you have a big appetite as the gammon egg and chips comes in a huge portion with extremely good quality tasty gammon. My girlfriend had the Swan burger which was also large with 2 big meat patties in it. The staff were extremely friendly and we were able to have a bit of banter with them. Highly recommended!

Friendly place, not been in a while. Last time was a group of us for Sunday lunch, sat in the front room at a big table and had belly of lamb. Was super tasty! Anyway, stopped here on our motorbikes, the last stop before heading home. A few sitting outside, as we were, ordered drinks at the bar. The new landlord was there, he came across as friendly and obliging, no doubt wanting to make his mark. Must confess, didn’t have food, just drinks and sadly didn’t take pics.

What a nice find. Excellent food. Warm atmosphere. Mary & her team went out of their way to make us welcome. It's a hidden gem in the heart of Whitchurch. Well worth the visit. We will be back

Went with friends and children and had a lovely evening. Great food and a lovely place. The team working were really helpful.

Food was best I've had at the White Swan since the new cook came in.

Fantastic atmosphere, service and beer. Our Labrador was so happy with dog treats at the bar and the barmaid kindly stroked his head making him feel welcomed. It was so good to return here and see the bar clean, updated toilets and good colour scheme making a warm and welcoming pub. Looking forward to popping in on Sunday!

Returned to the White Swan to find it is under new management and this was there opening night. The pub has been cleaned up, with a complete redecoration, the old black beams stripped back and updated loos. The pub was busy, which was great to see, drinks were good and nice touches like dog treats on the bar. New landlord and landlady were very welcoming and I wish them luck in their new venture. We’ll be back!

What an amazing place. Stopped for a quick lunch and found this great place. Family atmosphere, super friendly staff and locals who recomended lasagne which was one of the best we ever had, definitely home made. Lady owner/ manager checked few times during the meal if everything was fine about the food. Highly recommend to everyone, very cosy place. Loved it!

This is my 3rd visit in like 4 years, we usually stop in on one of our bike rides. 1st the food was amazing, hence going back the second time, second time it was ok, now the third time it was awful. We had chicken burgers, and they were like, someone had just popped to Iceland for the burger and rolls. The chips were hard. The place was dead on a Saturday afternoon and after eating to food I can see why. It's so expensive to eat out these days, that you need to offer something that can't be made at home...

Went for Fathers Day Sunday Roast.. it was awful!! Frozen packet mixed veg, 2 thin slices of beef, salty gravy, frozen packet Yorkshire pudding. Apple Pie was nice except it was served with cold custard. No menu to choose a starter, the bill came with all the wrong items on it. Will not be returning!!

Lovely friendly pub. Good food and excellent garden. Very good opening times, even open on a Monday! Call in, you will receive a warm welcome.

Lovely traditional English oldy-worldy pub.

I booked my family of five in for Sunday roast. We had great service, nothing too much trouble and we all had a great plate of food and there was plenty of it as well and good value! This does not happen in a lot of places so if you have a good appetite or are hungry then I higly recommend paying a visit. Thank you to all involved.

Rude bar maid and flat drinks. Asked for a new lemonade to be told No and that the ice had made it flat I DIDNT EVEN ASK FOR ICE avoid this place if you are looking for good customer service and fizzy drinks

Three of us stopped here for lunch. The pub looked run down from the outside and not particularly appealing, but we were hungry so thought we’d take a chance and give it a try. Inside the pub was in complete contrast to outside the pub. We received a warm welcome and two of us had the most amazing sausages and mash lunch, the best we have tasted in ages. The other meal was a steak and ale pie with potatoes and veg. which was also given a thumbs up. We will certainly return whenever we are in the area.

Nice enough pub, but poor food. My burger was sadly reminiscent of Little Chefs in the 1970s!

Food and service fantastic. They are new and performing miracles.

We went Friday night for dinner for 2. Both had the lasagne which was on their special list and it was perfect! Exactly what you'd want, huge portion size and lovely staff who have just taken over 😍 going back very soon!!

Been taken over by new owners landlady is very rude and not very freindly very disappointed 😒

Good food and nice wine good service

Fabulous local pub - delicious food, great staff and service. Welcoming and friendly. Pete and Ros are brilliant. They will be sorely missed. Shame most of the village don’t support it.

Had a great meal with great staff.Will be sorely missed when Pete and Ros leave us.The village will lose a great landlord/landlady.Doubt the village realise this.

The landlady and landlord are are brilliant and will be sorely missed. The pub has been the busiest since they have run it. Best place for the Irish is Ireland !!

Lovely old boozer good pint of pride ride a white swan

Generous portions very friendly service

Had drinks in this bar tonight! Wine and baileys great carlsberg crap! We were sitting having a quiet drink, beside us the landlord and his 3 cronies were having a drink. I knew he was the landlord because he kept going behind the counter helping the new bar man. He then started gossiping and speaking very badly about locals in the area who I'm related to and staying with while on holidays in the area. The landlord had alot to say about a neighbouring pub which we have previously attended and found to be untrue! Working in the lisensed trade myself I found it in very poor taste and a great reason why the pub was so quiet. Hopefully he doesn't renew his lease.

Awesome place to have a drink or even a dinner. Highly recommended! The crew is very kind.

Seemed nice enough if a bit cramped - again a sort of gastro pub in the village that's probably renown for its food ... and was OK as a pit stop coming back cross country SW of MK from football in the EMids nr Northampton Prides itself on guest ales presumably changes around a bit had Gales on draught this eve.

Lovely cosy country style pub (on the A413 in Whitchurch) with a good range and choice of food including an interesting range of pizzas - plus even a selection of dessert pizzas! Friendly staff and well kept draught Fullers Ales. Large garden with outside seating and tables for when the weather is fine.

Yeah, this is an ok pub for a beer and simple food in rural surroundings. Nice people, great atmosphere.

Over from Australia visiting relations in the Aylesbury area. Popped in on a sunday night and was pleasantly surprised. Nice atmosphere and gardens.

Fairly expensive, but it's ok. Could be bigger meals.

Haven't been for 3 years but still excellent, well cooked food and service. And reasonably priced as well!

Fantastic friendly local pub, with a nicely shaded garden at the rear with big pine trees. Also some family games out the back like corn hole. My friends got some food there and it looked delicious. Food on the menu was a nice selection.

Fantastic beer garden, lovely food & marvelous service. Loved it.

What a great pub, we held a surprise birthday party here and it was a great success, from beginning to end the communication was fantastic with Pete and Ros. Our family and friends all said the food was amazing and how lovely the garden and pub is. So happy we held our event here. The whole day/evening was perfect. Thank you to all the staff for brilliant service.

Lovely country side spot for an after work drink. The staff are friendly, and the atmosphere is cozy. Side note - loved the positive message posters in the ladies' toilets.

Short staffed, but the staff that were on did a sterling job. Pleasant atmosphere, very popular pub, with absolutely stunning Sunday lunches.

Nice cozy little pub, Sunday lunch was great

Ventured into this pub with my partner and the dog. The afternoon was sunny and warm so we stepped into the wonderfully undulating rear garden. It was pleasantly shaded with trees but had plenty of open space to allow children to run around and have fun. There were also beer garden games to keep the clientele happy and indeed they did. It lent a amusing ambience to the proceedings. The pub itself was cozy and inviting with little nooks and corners to hide in , the bars (two) were small but well staffed. The beers were of good choice and well kept. The food we had was fantastic and in good portions. A great little pub and well worth a visit. Afterwards we popped down the public footpath beside the pub down to the local cricket ground and watched the Saturday afternoon game. A good finish to a pleasant day.

Met friends for dinner and the owners were so warm and inviting it was a pleasure. The garden area is huge and could do with some more tables but overall what a great pub

Good beer. Nice people. Fab guest blues guitar/singer this Saturday afternoon

Very nice garden and people. Food alright. Had a wonderful time.

Absolute gem of a place. Beautiful and quaint inside and open and green outside seating. Food was brilliant. Absolutely great taste and portions. Sunday roast was delish. I loved the whitebait as well. Highly recommended and repeat visit worthy.

Met up with friends for a bar lunch. Reasonable choice but nothing particularly exiting, just decent pub grub, and prices fair.

It was a Sunday lunchtime and we were on the road driving past Whitchurch in Aylesbury and we were famished. I drove past the pub and read the "Sunday Roast" sign, and I turned the car around! We weren't sure at first when we entered, there was no one in the dining area and for a moment I questioned my choice. We were welcomed with a warm smile and we're reassured that we will not be disappointed. We ordered a roast eac. I had chicken and she had gammon. The plates arrived hot. The variety of vegetables, gravy aplenty and crispy soft yorkshire puds (wished they were bigger). We were offered and provided with extra gravy and yorkshire pudding when requested. Everything was fresh, warm and delicious. The roast potatoes was crispy, mash was buttery, parsnips were so sweet! I was bowled over and very satisfied. Thank you to the kitchen and waiting team at the pub.

Impromptu Sunday lunch while on the road, but what a lovely find! Great options for roasts, so something for everyone, as well as a good selection of alternative meals. Service was warm and friendly, and the roast definitely lived up to expectations - definitely recommend for a chilled but delicious meal :)

Delicious food, restaurant quality. If you expect to be in a pub and pub food, you'd need to find another place. Small, can be a bit crowded at times.

Lovely little pub with a log fire and a welcoming atmosphere. Food was delicious and the service friendly and fast

We were moving from the area, so 7 of us went for lunch at the White Swan. Ros and Pete looked after us splendidly. Lots to eat, I had the roast chicken while others had non roasts like curry. everything was delicious and the portions very generous. One of the few regrets we will have is not being able to visit here so often.

Jacket potato with prwans and salads, simple and tasty food, small price and quick service, I'm glad jo need to wait forever like in some other restaurants, which 8 can't bear anymore, 5 stars from me for price, servise efficiency and quality of food

Quirky little pub. Good place to stop for a drink. Will visit again

Great pub, we attended a wedding at the weekend. My only issue was the rest rooms, I was on crutches and you don't have a disabled loo. I found it almost impossible to move around and lock to door.

6people sat down all selecting different meals.the food all arrived at the same time it was of the highest quality and perfectly cooked.our waitress was charming and efficiently dealt with our order.well done to all the staff and look forward to a return visit

One of the best pubs I've been to in a while. Lovely food.

nice beer well kept, nicest fullers pint outside of london 👍

Great staff, food is good too. Good atmosphere

Very nice food, and beer! service could do with being a bit sharper between mains and puddings Almost a 5 *

Excellent place, I have visited many times after events held at Silverstone and would recommend. Staff are very friendly and helpful, food is excellent and good value. Lovely cosy pub with a delightful beer garden, with panoramic views After a day at the races this is a perfect ending to the day.

Absolutely fantastic Roast dinner 🍽 was floored at the amount and the variety of vegetables ( cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, French beans, carrots, swede and a roasted parsnip 😱👏🙌🥰🇬🇧) generous helping of perfectly roasted beef/lamb… homemade roasted potatoes 🙌 Look no further for a hearty, home made Sunday roast dinner ❤️ Staff very welcoming and friendly ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️ Well done White Swan 🙌

Lovely food and beautiful beer garden

We went to view a house in Whitchurch, lovely village, with a lovely pub. Very dog friendly, staff were a real pleasure, gardens are beautiful, big car park, drinks and food delicious. Just like a pub should be. Hope your dog has recovered from his op.

Omg 7 veg in a Sunday dinner. Locals and staff gave us a great welcome. I recommend this to anyone , 10/10 experience

Big money bingo Wednesday night

Great pub. Great garden. Good food. Very kid and dog friendly.

Nice place. Taking covid precautions very seriously. Nice tent outside. Lots of kids and families. Highly recommended.

We've just had lunch at The White Swan.Very Covid Friendly pub.Quality food and plenty of it.Bar staff were highly professional.Proper Village pub with a large back garden that is safe for children.

Always a pleasure great staff landlord/landlady. Food and drink absolutely fine. They kindly allow pets on leads but sadly a few selfish individuals abuse this curticy.

A great local pub, friendly, welcoming and with a great atmosphere. The pub offers a wide variety of food, and has a good selection of beers and ales. A must visit if you’re in the area!

Spent the afternoon and evening here to celebrate a friends birthday. Have to say it was a fantastic experience and we were all made to feel extremely welcome by both the landlord and landlady. I was incredibly impressed by how they have catered for the...

What a great village pub! The best fish a d chips for miles. Great staff and fantastic service throughout our visit. This pub never lets you down.

Lovely family pub lovely food always welcoming and kids and dog always welcome

I have visited this pub a few times since it reopened after lockdown. Good food, excellent ales and plenty of space to sit outdoors either under cover or in the large garden. Excellent staff who wear masks indoors and outdoors.

Visited this beautiful county pub with my family, enjoyed a well cooked meal in their large landscaped gardens. Tables well spaced out, waitresses very efficient and friendly giving us a safe, relaxed environment for us to enjoy our precious family time together. Would definitely be...

Recently visited the white Swann … absolutely fantastic experience .The staff are on point when comes to the current conditions in terms of COVID the service is second to none. I had the fish and chips which was absolutely outstanding thankyou , thankyou .

Despite a very lax attitude towards current Covid measures for pubs, last night I had what was, until several minutes before leaving, quite a pleasant evening at this pub attending my brother-in-law's 50th birthday party. The last time I visited the pub was in the summer of 2020, when I ended up leaving earlier than planned because I felt uncomfortable with their lack of compliance towards the government's rules regarding social distancing. This evening there was still cleary very little compliance with the current rules. Numerous staff members and customers were in the pub with no facemasks on and the garden marquee area was rammed with far more than 30 people (possibly at least triple that), many of whom were stood nearly shoulder to shoulder, meaning that to access toilets, the garden or just to get to your seat, you had to navigate through and literally squeeze past tens of people often with no option other than actually coming into physical contact with them. The young waitresses did a great job though moving amongst the crowds with trays of drinks and were very polite when asking to get by. I chose to ignore the issues for the sake of the party and because I wanted to have a good time with family whom I hadn't seen in months. I brought my dog along with me for the evening; he's a very calm, affectionate and well-behaved cockapoo who barely leaves my side. He spent most of the evening on his lead but in the large garden at the back I let him off for about 20 minutes as a little girl at a table nearby was desperate to play with him. Another dog was wondering around off lead, and after greeting each other politely and having a little play, both dogs showed eachother little interest for the rest of the night. Eventually we managed to find a table in the marquee near the live music (which I will add, is always fantastic). My dog spent a bit more time off lead and apart from a little supervised exploring and sniffing in and around part of the pub building, he remained near or under our table. The other dog was wondering around freely between the crowds too. Both dogs were beautifully behaved and enjoyed getting a fuss from staff and punters. Whilst preparing to leave and saying goodbye to my sister, who hosted the party, I was approached suddenly by a man who quite literally 'told me off' for allowing my dog to be off lead. I explained that there had been another dog off lead too so I assumed it was okay and that I was certain anyone else there would assure him my dog's behaviour had been nothing but exemplary. He then informed me he was the landlord (he was wearing no facemask I'll add) and it was his dog, and that no other dogs should be off lead apart from his. I responded by telling him that he was speaking to me a little late because I had been there for 4 hours already, did not know the dog was his and therefore, due to no sign or staff member saying otherwise, assumed it would be okay to allow my dog a little freedom too. The landlord then told me my dog was a nuisance because he was a hazard to waitresses who were trying to carry drinks, to which I said my dog could only have been as a much of a hazard to the waitresses as his own dog was, and that the much more likely hazard was the overcrowding in his marquee. He then turned to my sister and said 'she's really gobby' before literally shooing me away with his hand and storming off. I appreciate that the landlord is friendly with my sister and her family, and perhaps therefore thought it was acceptable to speak to me so rudely in front of her before insulting me as if I was invisible, but myself and those that witnessed the conversation were appalled by his conduct. I am a responsible dog owner and if I believed my dog was causing any issues, or if he had raised his concern politely with me earlier in the evening, I would have of course kept my dog on his lead. It serves a landlord and pub no good to be so rude and condescending to friends and family of regular punters. I will definitely not be returning to this pub, with or without my dog, anytime soon.

I have just returned from what was, until several minutes before leaving, quite a pleasant evening celebrating my brother-in-law's 50th birthday at a suprise party thrown for him by his local pub. I've visited this pub several times before and am aware of its laid...
