White Swan in East Riding of Yorkshire

Great food with good and friendly staff and a fantastic land lady what more do you want!

Excellent Sunday Lunch served promptly with very friendly helpful staff, nice selection of veg with delicious gravy and good selection of real ales, Farmers Blonde being my choice. Topped off with apple and blackcurrant crumble. We will definitely come again

Salmon in chilli sauce was very good. Bbq chicken very dry and chips were awful and I would suggest as refried as they were hard and cooled quickly. Also no dressing on salad. Overall a poor experience and will not revisit.

Nice well decorated pub with pleasant staff. Salmon and prawn skillet was fine, but wife's bbq very dry and salad not dressed, chips inedible refried and cold. Over all a disappointing experience. Landlady very argumentative and in my opinion unprofessional.

Expensive £12.50 and not good value roast beef sandwich (dry and black in places) with small portion of chips, many inedible with black bits. Service slow even though not busy.

Great food, if only the hostess was a little more welcoming… All our meals were very good with friendly service. We’ve been a few times, and never lets us down. Main man does a great job.

This is the 2nd time we have been here and I'm pleased to say the food was just as fabulous this time as it was the first. On both occasions my gf went for traditional Sunday lunch, the beef was simply delicious, I opted for the steak pie, obviously very home made and just as delicious. We were too full for pudding but managed to get 2 lots of sticky toffee pud to go, ooh now I'm quite the expert on this particular pudding, and boy did this hit the spot, very very well made, possibly one of the best I've ever had. If you are around this area, please try this pub, huge range of specials as well as a great looking menu, I'm sure each dish won't fail to please. Unfortunately we don't live around here, we stay local at least once a year so it'll be a while till we come back, but only 360 odd days to wait, see you soon guys, keep up your hard work and even higher standards.

Will highly recommend couldn't fault anything!

Anything less than a 5 star rating would be an insult to this absolute gem of an establishment. We were a group of 4 and randomly chose to eat here as we like to try places that we haven't been to before.. what a find..!!! Being a landlady in the past and working in hospitality for many years I always find myself judging with a slightly critical eye but I could honestly not find one fault. From the moment we arrived, the bar was busy yet we were greeted immediately and was served very quickly. The menu choice was extensive and mouth watering. We all settled on different items and our order was brought out and presented perfectly. Each member of staff was professional, friendly and helpful and all looked like they enjoyed their work and were proud to host, which really added a personal touch to the service. The meals were delicious, the meat was cooked beautifully and fell off the bone, there were ample potatoes and vegetables all round and we all thoroughly enjoyed every mouthful. Not being able to resist the dessert menu, we had a short break before squeezing in amazing, home cooked puddings. This wonderful, traditional, country pub excelled and was a credit to the owner/manager, with an obviously highly talented chef and a fantastic team it was by far the best I have been to in a long, long time. The little touches really make the difference and we are looking forward to returning next week with other friends to share our new fave place to eat. Thank you so much.

Cannot recommend this place enough! We went for a birthday date night for my husband, and the staff and owners went above and beyond for us! They had put some banners on the table and sung happy birthday with a cake, it was absolutely amazing! The food was excellent, and the CHOICE was incredible - it must have taken me 20 minutes to decide what I wanted off their extensive specials board! I cant wait to come back!

Staying in Ellerton we decided to try the White Swan for dinner one evening. We had booked a table and as we entered the restaurant were attended to immediately with the lady asking the bar staff to get us a drink while she sorted our table. A few moments later we were seated and given a menu. The restaurant was quite busy with a very large party and several other diners but the food all came out very promptly, and some food there was. I had shoulder of lamb which was absolutely delicious, the meat was so tender it fell off the bone. We also had pork medallions which were equally delicious. The vegetables were all brought out in separate dishes, mashed potato, broccoli, peas, cabbage and cauliflower cheese, they were all perfect. It wasn't the cheapest meal we had ever had but it was certainly worth it as it was all first class. Definitely one to recommend if ever in the area.

Excellent food and quick service. Our favourite place to eat

Booked a last minute Sunday Lunch & they fitted us in. The meals were enormous, I had the roast dished up with 3 vegetable side dishes. I couldn't manage it all but they no issue wrapping up my left overs for my doggie. She thoroughly enjoyed her roast 😁

Huge portions, and tasty. Staff a bit more attentive to "locals" than to other paying customers.

Very good service and good tasty food 🥘

This place was incredible. We asked if they could rustle up some cheese and tomato sandwiches on a busy Sunday lunchtime roast serving, and they did. Not only did we get a salad but crisps beautifully presented and they tasted lovely. Thank you for going above and beyond.

The white Swan is a nice popular cosy village pub specialising in food. There is no pool table or dart board in the bar. There is a good choice of beers lager and cider including two hand pulled cask conditioned real ales which were in excellent condition when i visited. The staff are friendly and welcoming. There is an outside decking seating area and a car park.

Absolutely brilliant food. Great surroundings. Excellent service. We all had different dishes and courses and each one was superb. Good value for money too.

Good food, friendly staff, nice pub/restaurant

Friday night birthday celebration at the White Swan , service was above and beyond . Excellent food at a good price really enjoyed or evening . Again a huge thank you to the guys who work there in making us all feel special that is truly great service thank you .

The service in this pub was very good and the choice of food is very good with a very substantial specials board also. We chose from the set menu for senior citizens which appeared to be very good value,and we both had the leek and potato soup which was piping hot and very tasty. Hubby had the steak pie which he enjoyed, and I chose the Roast dinner which was turkey. I only had one small piece of meat which I thought was inadequate for a roast dinner, and no roast potatoes, just mash and vegetables, so I was a little disappointed and was sorry I hadn't chosen the pie !

This is THE best food being served in the area period. Everything is spot on, portion size, flavour and price,SUPERB***

Amazing staff and food is exceptional

First visit here for Sunday lunch and what a treat! Beautiful lamb with a great choice of fresh vegetables all brought to your table. Staff very friendly and efficient. Will certainly return.

We went here with friends, excellent food, very good portion sizes, we were very happy. I'll be taking other friends there too... certainly a gem that should be shared!

Food and service was really good. A very varied menu. I had a vegetable lasagne which was good and cheesy. It also came with chips...a lot of chips. Beer selection is pretty good too; I went with Beavertown Neck Oil.

As always The White Swan excelled. Family birthday celebration Sunday lunch. 4 roasts to choose from and a huge specials board. Lamb dinner excellent- very tender and succulent. Great service with plenty of staff. ( Fully allergy aware). We’ll be back again.

Has a lovely Sunday roast today, all vegetables were fresh and plenty of it, so much choice on the menu so something for everyone. Very friendly staff definitely recommend and will be back.

Had a beautiful meal tonight , spoilt for choice ,so much on the menu , it was delicious ,quick ,friendly & efficient ..all in a lovely atmosphere ...really enjoyed it ,highly recommend 😁

We have stayed at Yellowtop Country Park for the last 7 years & never really found a nice place to eat out, until we came across The White Swan a few days ago. We stayed for a drink & lunch & was really impressed.. Such a lovely clean pub with really friendly staff so we decided to go back for dinner. We are a family of 7 and the food was absolutely beautiful. Home cooked and plentiful. Hot, arrived altogether we just couldn't fault it. We thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely recommend this pub to anyone and will be our regular when visiting Yellowtop again. Many Thanks for the brilliant food & service 👍

Hours wrong online... Says open but isn't.

Food is very very good and plenty too.

Really good food and warm, friendly and efficient service. Brought our mother here for mother's day and although it was busy the service was excellent and the food very good. Huge selection of dishes but they all tasted home cooked rather than reheated frozen meals.

Family catch up made to feel very welcome food really tasty very generous portions.

Beautiful place,fabulous staff and gorgeous food. Lemon cheesecake and ice cream was devine 😘

Love this village pub. Friendly and the food is always good.

Great food, pleasant atmosphere and very friendly service.

Neck Oil on draft is always good. The food I wanted wasn't available and had to choose an alternative. I found this place place quite expensive.

Claire the long term landlady of the White swan greeted us and was friendly and helpful with the extensive menu on offer. Our meal was excellent, both with quantity and quality, even though it was busy with a large party our food arrived promptly, look forward to our return to try other things off the menu.

Really delicious food. Large family group well catered for. Wouldnt hesitate to visit again

Had a amazing evening out with friends last night . And would highly recommend . Food was beautiful and a brilliant atmosphere .... Will be returning

We have been visiting Yellowtop for many years but only came across this perfect place this time round, and my goodness what a find. Fabulous choice on the menu and struggled to decide, however the steak pie was the best I have ever eaten, packed with perfectly cooked meat and an enormous portion, the chips were to die for and the veg so crisp and fresh. The restaurant was so snug and cosy and the staff were delightful. The only disappointment is that we didn’t find this place sooner. If you are looking for a hearty meal in a lovely pub restaurant with cheerful, helpful, friendly staff then this is a must. We will definitely be back in the summer.

Lovely food amazing choice good service still the same can't fault the place

Yet another superb evening in the Swan,, enjoyed with family and excellent food, excellent beer and excellent service,,,,,, can’t wait until our next time 😉👍😋

Booked a table for 4 of us for my husband birthday . The night was perfect from start to finish . On arrival, table was set up for birthday . Meal absolutely perfect . Then at the end they sang happy birthday to my husband and gave him a cake which it was such a nice touch. Then we even had a little gift from the house . Absolute made my husband night so thank you !!the staff brilliant 🤩 Definitely recommend the white swan to anyone !!

I had the four course Christmas lunch and it was amazing. Service was excellent, soup and main meal well presented and were hot and cooked to perfection, had the cheese cake for sweet which was delicious and nicely presented. The only thing I would change was the 4th course as the mince pies were served cold it would have nice to have them warm as they are so much nicer when having a hot coffee whilst eating them . I would definitely recommend.

A very warm welcome. If you are looking for value for money and Excellent food and service the white Swan is the place to visit

Thanks to all, we had a great meal with you . Hope to see you again soon.

Fabulous food. God prices. Excellent accomodating service. To be highly recommended.

First time we have visited following good recommendations. Menu very extensive and food very nice, hot and plentiful. Service attentive and all staff extremely friendly and kind. Lovely touch at the end of the night with a gift of a bottle of Prosecco and piece of cheesecake to mark my birthday. We will visit again and recommend to others. Thank you.

Lovely two course meal which we all thoroughly enjoyed

Second time visit for family birthday. Excellent pub meal. Pushed out the boat for fillet steak - very good. Pepper sauce brilliant (if you like it strong). My wife had lamb shank which was also excellent. There was a pub quiz on at the time which we had feared would be intrusive to us but wasn’t at all. It made the atmosphere as the pub was nearly full. Interesting to hear the questions without the pressure of answering! As we left my son (whose birthday it was) was given a bottle of wine. I can highly recommend the White Swan for excellent food and atmosphere.

Me and the wife decided to go here for some food recently as we live in Hemingbrough and thought we'd give it a try. We arrived when it opened so we were the first people in and were greeted and told we could sit wherever we liked. After sitting down the bar man asked us what we would like to drink and said he would bring it over and put it on a tab for us, we then ordered some food and there was far to much for the 2 of us, the nacho sharer to start was like a main meal and we were far to full of delicious food to finish our mains! To sum up the food was amazing with an enormous selection and the service was lovely as well, we will definitely be coming back here to sample the rest of the menu soon.

Hand pulled Beer was off nearly made me sick should take more care not try to squeeze very last drop out of the barrel

Amazing pub/restaurant. Staff are friendly and helpful. The food is AMAZING we all loved it and wished we could fit in more.

We found this beautiful place by chance and what a fantastic time we had , diner was phenomenal, recommend the scotch egg as it was out of this world, the mains were exceptional and unfortunately to full for a dessert, the staff were all kind helpful and friendly.. the atmosphere was lovely, the ambiance and lighting all made the evening The outside area was beautifully lit and had that feeling of relaxation and tranquility We stayed over and the room was fantastic, well equipped and comfortable…. Highly recommend to everyone and we will definitely be frequenting this beautiful place again … Amazing

What a wonderful place. The staff made us feel so welcome and the food was stunning. Great menu with lots of choice. Friendly stress free atmosphere and we will certainly be going back. X

Lovely pub, the food is amazing, Sunday dinners great, steaks great, desserts too. We have visited several times and have never been disappointed.

Called while on holiday at Yellow Tops,excellent service and food,lovely pub with warm atmosphere,Thankyou we really enjoyed our meal.

Great menu & fabulous portions, good range of drinks - good value.

Excellent menu choice, really friendly service and great food. First time I've visited and it will not be the last. So many things to try on the varied menu.

Very varied menu, homemade feel, large portions, friendly staff

40 years ago I started my adult life in the Swan. Listening to a yarn or 2 over the next few years. I recall the gone by Country and Western nights. Even those nights when the lights went off ..... However the recent Crab meal with prawns was beautifully served . The beer was as good as ever . Nice evening meal

Called in for lunch today with friends. We were greeted with a very warm welcome, and the food was fabulous 👌

Although we hadn't booked and the place was full, it was a nice sunny day, and we were offered a table outside, which was perfect. We were a party of eight, and 5 had the Sunday roast. We each choose a different meat (turkey, beef, lamb, and pork), and it was truly delicious. Even the pork crackling was to die for. There were loads of different vegetables and even yorkshire pudding, oh and the gravy 😋 It was the best roast dinner we've had in a very long time. The others had lasagne, mushroom stroganoff and a burger and nothing was left. The drinks and service was equally good. Would highly recommend

Excellent, quality food at decent prices. Very good service. Will return.

Great food and everything to make us feel welcome. Thank you for fitting us in when you was fully booked up. Loved the meal and friendly welcome we had. We will be back and will book next time .

Delicious meals we had, friendly staff, well kept beers, all at a very reasonable price.

Came for a lunchtime meal and enjoyed it so decided to come for an evening meal with family. Evening meal was disappointing. Sizzler was over salted and was poor value. Only the steak meal was good from the 6 we ordered. Disappointed and will not be rushing back.

A casual but great atmosphere with quality food. Friendly staff that makes the white swan a pleasure to visit.

What a wonderful find. The food as absolutely delicious with portions to match. The main menu was extensive and then there was the specials board with at least 10 further dishes. Claire and Andy are superb hosts and the atmosphere is lovely. It is obviously used greatly by locals, no matter what day it is. Can't wait to go back next year.

Was recommended to try to this pub .so while staying in the area we'd thought we'd give it a go,booked in for a Sunday lunch, friendly staff to greet you on entering,once inside the pub had an olde worlde feeling to it, ordered the traditional roast of one beef and one turkey ,meal came hot with a good selection of vegetables the beef just seem to melt in the mouth,I Would highly recommended this place for the staff ,meal and value for money.

This pub was recommended by others staying at yellowtop Country Park, and they weren't wrong. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a smile, took to our table, and straight away asked if we would like drinks that were promptly brought to us I like this as to many places seat you then dissappear before offering drinks, an extensive menu was brought which has something for everyone and a huge special board with more fantastic choices on , the food was fantastic and tasty steak was cooked to perfection I had the mixed grill very filling I only just ate it overall a brilliant little pub excellent service excellent food , well done.

Went with my family. Young and old for my Birthday meal. Excellent service. We all really enjoyed all our meals. The table had a lovely birthday balloon etc. I had a lovely candle and a gift of a birthday cake and and a bottle of wine. Cannot fault this place it was superb.

Whilst on holiday in the area, me and my husband came for dinner, we were made to feel extremely welcome the atmosphere was lovely. The food was outstanding, a special shout out to the chef who cooked my t-bone steak to perfection. We would highly recommend this place if your in the area and we will definitely return next time we are in the area.

The quality of food and the exemplary service make this a standout restaurant. The sheer choice of food available is almost overwhelming and is coupled with very prompt and sensitive service.

Massive portions,great tasting food.lovely manager and waitress.deffo recommend,food serving hours could be longer tho but still worth it for food!

Probably one of the best Sunday dinners eaten out in a long time, definitely be back

What a lovely pub, we booked this as we are staying close by for a couple of nights and thought we'd start off/treat ourselves to a bit of lunch, we narrowed our search down to 3 and I am sooo glad we chose this. The welcome was very warm and despite being very busy, they had a large party for an 18th, the service was attentive and couldn't be faulted. Both myself and my partner had the Roast Beef and the beef didn't disappoint, hardly any fat, well cooked, perhaps just cut a bit thick for my personal tastes but considering how much rubbish beef is served for Sunday lunch in some establishments, this beef was definately a 12 out of ten. The gravy delicious, proper gravy, lovely mash, really creamy cauliflower cheese, the only slight disappointment would have been the roast potatoes, either done with the joint or done a bit too long and the yorkshire pudding was a bit chewy But we would definately go back, there are other meals served other than just Sunday roast and they looked simply gorgeous. There isn't an option for 4.5 and it's not quite a 5, so had to opt for a 4. Unfortunately we live in Leeds so it couldn't be a weekly trip but I'd definately drive an hour for lunch again. Well done to the chef and all staff

Absolutely fabulous place to meet and eat. Andy the host went above and beyond to make our visit a memorable one, it was my daughters birthday. Food was so good we went back 3 days later to eat and will be making this a regular...

Went for my birthday tea and the staff pulled out all the stops to make this special The food is absolutely lovely Thanks so much for a lovely evening

You don't leave here hungry. Lots of choices on the menu. Very generous portions of freshly cooked food. Very tasty. We all enjoyed our meals. Very friendly, welcoming and efficient service.

What a lovely welcoming pub. We are currently staying at Yellowtop Country Park and have never been out locally for a meal, so we decided to venture to Bubwith to the White Swan. We were made to feel very welcome by the landlord, who was very polite, friendly and accommodating. Service was quick, the food was delicious and the lager was great! All in all, a very nice place that we cannot wait to return to 😊 Whilst chatting to the landlord, I explained we were on our holidays for my birthday, and before we left, he kindly gave me a bottle of red wine to celebrate with, how lovely!

We celebrated our Ruby Anniversary at the White Swan on Saturday. Family of 5 and had a terrific meal. Service was great and food great. plenty of choice for desserts too. this is the best pub in the district. Many thanks.

Spectacular food and great service. If there is a small option then go for it. Food coma all the way

Lovely guy who served us, I like to eat a decent amount of food and we got plenty between us. They have those soft on the inside crispy on the outside chips.

This lovely pub was recommended in the welcome book at Still Rabbit Lodges where we were staying. We were not disappointed. Lovely friendly environment, welcoming Landlord and waitress. The home made lasagne was scrumptious. My husband had the steak pie. It was packed full of...

This lovely pub was recommended in the welcome book at Still Rabbit Lodges where we were staying. We were not disappointed. Lovely friendly environment, welcoming Landlord and waitress. The home made lasagne was scrumptious. My husband had the steak pie. It was packed full of meat, butter soft. (I tried it). Make sure you're hungry because they're very generous portions and you have to eat all of it, because it tastes so good. Haha. 😁

Service excellent as was decor, food superb and ample portions. Lovely cask IPA. Pity they don't do rooms or would stay on next visit.

Charming pub, great food. Very attentive staff.

First time of eating in our village local and was really impressed by the quality of the meal. A caesar salad and a braising steak were both really tasty and well served. Efficient friendly service too. Not my choice of beer style, but drinks we...

Went today for meal for 3 of us 1 rib of beef 1 Mediterranean chicken 1 salmon with cream and wine sauce absolutely delicious arrived very promptly all piping hot with friendly service and large portions all at a very reasonable price ,I would thoroughly...

Had a fantastic Saturday evening meal . Highly recommended 👌 👍

This pub was warm and welcoming and the three of us enjoyed beautiful freshly cooked food. Have been before and will be going back. Thankyou.

Very very very expensive!! Pint of cider, pint of lager, not much change from a tenner!! A pity that the pub has such limited open times, weekend opening is practically none existent.

The service and food are second to none served 11 people quickly and efficiently have been 4 time and will go again Great job staff

Really good meal. Couldn't fault the food at all. Nice cosy atmosphere too.

Without a doubt, the best food in the area for miles around. Also love the atmosphere here and the staff, they are fun and friendly! We always get a good service here, thank you for being an amazing local!

Friendly and quick service and great to have a full menu choice at a Sunday lunch serving. Thirteen of us and no one with anything but praise for all the food. Portion sizes were huge and all food was served hot and of excellent quality....
