The White Swan was always popular with locals and other visitors. We hadn’t been for ages and decided to go for lunch. On arrival the lady behind the bar was not at all welcoming and we weren’t allowed a tab, even though we said we would be eating. My husband ordered the pie, which he said tasted salty. I tried it and agreed. Later, presumably the landlady, cleared our plates and asked if everything had been ok to which my husband mentioned the saltiness. She went away and returned a while later, saying that she and the ‘chef’ had tasted one, saying it wasn’t salty at all and that it must be his tastebuds! We won’t be returning needless to say.

Me and my wife stopped here four years ago for lunch and it was amazing. Lovely, quiet and quaint and as we hadn't been up this way for a few years we forgot about it. Roll on today driving home for York we decide to stop for lunch instead of driving through. Googled the nearest place and thankfully turned up at the same pub. The atmosphere is still the same. Quiet. Relaxed and lovely. Amazing staff and brilliant food. Couldn't ask for better. Will save in my maps for next time.

We arrived unannounced for lunch on Easter Monday on our way back from Northumberland to Hertfordshire. We had first stopped at Blyth Services to take our 5 year old daughter to the toilet and made a quick departure due to the volume of people. We decided to look at Blyth village and found the White Swan. We received a friendly welcome and a clear indication that there would be a bit of a wait for food. Not in a rush, we decided to stay. The staff managed to get our daughter’s food very quickly (for which we were extremely grateful) and ours followed soon after. The pub was busy with lots of happy looking customers. The atmosphere was friendly and the pub was very clean and tidy. The staff were excellent. Food was great and we were very happy to find a local alternative to the services. We’ll pass by again next time we are driving through.

My husband and I called in as we've passed many times but never stopped. It looks inviting from the outside and when we stepped inside it was cosy, with a lovely fire on the go. It was around 6pm on a Friday and we were served straight away by a young female barmaid. Our experience may have continued in this pleasant vein but for a group of around 5 men, who looked to be in their 50s-60s, sat opposite the bar. It wasn't just the volume of their banter that spoilt the atmosphere, it was the content, for example, loud references to being on sky porn and nearly getting caught by the wife, how they'd happily pay for certain 'services' in their home and all this interspersed with lots of effing and constant raucous laughter. There seemed to be no consideration for those around them, especially in my mind the young barmaid and as they seemed relaxed, like regulars, I would question the kind of establishment that tolerates this kind of behaviour in a public bar? Think that's our first and last visit

Went to bar asked what was on the menu and was told carvery big or small staff not pleasant so we won’t be recommending this pub and won’t be returning which spoiled Mother’s Day

Not sure if they have changed the chief but today's dinner was very disappointing. Something has gone down hill because the place wasn't half as full as it used to be. The cauliflower cheese tasted like packet sauce and watery, roast spuds were cold, and no taste to the gravy. What ever you've done White Swan put it back!! You've ruined a good Sunday carvery.

Excellent food but the staff and atmosphere and rushed environment when spending good money, move from this table as someone else is here when still having a drink and not even offered the dessert menu!! Shocking personal service and zero customer service skills I will never return again

Great food but absolutely shocking at everything else! Front of house staff shocking and service diabolical, no offer of dessert menus and needed to move due to over booking, terrible service and unfortunately I will never visit again, it was my main go to for a good roast but the new owners are just not great in the customer happiness department! So it’s Royal Oak “tickhill” and “bluebell” Carlton that are better due to the owners being better hosts and food just as good 👍

Been coming here on and off for 5 years or more. The carvery is delicious. Meat is cooked lovely, there's plenty of veg, the parsnips are amazing and the yorkshires are lovely and fluffy (not like the frozen rubbish done other places serve). Deffinately worth a visit. Although you'll need to book in advance.

Disappointed doesn't cover it. We went for an evening meal with all the family. This place was THE palace to go years ago and everyone used to rave about it. So i assumed it would be as good still. No it wasn't! Chicken as dry as toast, cooked within an inch of its life, over cooked food, dry and stale bread/ burger, dry pie that had been on a hot plate all day or heated up from the day before. Tatseless freezer sausages and bland mash. I could go on. Beautiful building, great location, nice decor all spoilt by dire food. Non of us had anything good to say other than the chips were nice. Even the waitress was half arsed and not as slick, precise and attentive as they should be. Not many in eating and it was like we weren't there or we were an inconvenience. Avoid! Much better pubs out there in the area.

Really disappointed with our visit here today. Approximately 15 of us attended for our annual Christmas get together, having been here consecutively for the last few years we were looking forward to it. We'd ordered sandwiches, chips and onion rings. Sandwich choice was poor, just Cheese & Onion or Turkey. Chips were 3 small bowls shared between 15 people, and 1 bowl of onion rings, not enough for even 1 each! The chips came out about 40 minutes after the sandwiches, the 1 bowl of onion rings another 30 minutes after that. Presumably they heard us complaining because another bowl of chips randomly appeared 15 minutes before we left! Staff refused to allow us to open a tab, we offered to put a card behind the bar, again this was refused. 1 older member of staff was particularly unhelpful. A real shame because this is a lovely little village Pub. We won't be coming back next year.

Well, I've been coming here for years, we have our yearly Xmas party here yearly, however this year was the last, after waiting 20 mins to be served, I asked to leave cash behind bar so all my guests could go up and get a drink, was told "NO WE DONT DO THAT" so we had to keep going upto bar getting drinks individually, they then was reluctant to give receipts, we ordered a platter of food containing sandwiches, chips, onion rings etc, we got cheese and onion and turkey sandwiches, 3 small bowls of chips and x1 bowl of onion rings chucked on table, the service was poor, the head barmaid was not only rude but unpleasant, obviously she did not want to be there, the two younger people behind the bar tried their hardest but with a leader like that, there was very little they could have done, will not be returning as several pubs in Blyth which service and attitude are much better.

After meeting a friend and former business colleague we were looking forward to eating here. For years we have driven past and thought we must give it a try. It was at best average, the food Chicken Tikka in my case wasn’t good. On arrival we were advised we couldn’t put drinks down on the table tab as people had previously done a runner. They had my name and telephone number so that didn’t get us off to the best of starts. Food was also order at the bar and I had imagined it would be table service at those prices. When we left no thank you good night and we hope to see you again. More a question of re set the table so we can get someone else in. Business is tough right now and an experience needs to Leave people thinking how they enjoyed the experience and would like to go back. Unfortunately I feel completely underwhelmed by the experience
