White Swan in North Norfolk

Dog friendly and friendly dogs!

Went in on recommendation from a member of public that if you ask nicely to use the toilets they will allow you too. Public toilets all shut my daughter needed to use a toilet after a long journey. Landlady very rude as soon as we entreated chanting ID ID ID adamant needed ID and a child under 18 can’t be in a pub, insisted public toilets open definitely would not recommend this pub ….. her attitude absolutely stinks and this is what gives her pub a bad reputation asking!

Popped into here after a very long car trip to have a drink and use the restroom. Since my first priority was relieving myself, I headed straight to the restroom where I was blocked by an elderly staff lady, who basically told me in other words, to get lost, and use the public toilet down the road. I'm not sure if she knew I was a patron, and planning to order drinks and food, but neither did she bother to ask. It was an incredibly rude and presumptuous way to conduct herself. I can't believe this establishment doesn't train their staff better than this.

Very Friendly Pub Great 👍 karaoke 🎤 😀 Doesn't serve food... Has pool 🎱 table Drinks reasonable price. People are extremely welcoming Not just the staff...

I believe my wife's drink was spiked last night but landlady is fabricating lies saying that my wife was drunk and buying drinks at a ridiculously fast paced however asking people who were there say she wasnt

Caught up with a friend just after Christmas. Didn't know where to go but this place was great. Nice people, the beer was good and it's got a pool table. Will be back again.

This was the last pub on our "crawl" of North Walsham and our only disappointment was that we saved the best till last. Wonderful crowd, fantastic music played by a live duo and excellent service from staff who kept us fed and hydrated - BRAVO! 👏 👏 👏

The Staff are very Rude Especially Bev wouldn't go there. She Only likes Local people.

Definitely in the top 2 swan named pubs in north walsham

Amazing sights at the Karaoke 🎤.

Just popped in for a couple of beers friendly staff and atmosphere

Karaoke 🎤 Lovely location Friendly Vibe

Good local love the jukebox, will see much more of me.

Excellent food, and service, made bespoke for us, made very personal by all staff, and chef’s presence and conversation was very personal, it’s been a while since we visited, but obviously new chefs as the food was in a different class, very very tasty, oysters with the side dressing, two types of Tabasco, mules mariners, the sauce to die for, monkfish curry again sauce excellent, sea bass amazing, and loads of vegetables! We will be back, many thanks 🐟

Nice little local pub, pleasant locals, good service

Does not serve food but you can take your own in.

Great pub,friendly ,good drinks,great music ,love the karaokes!

What a little gem. Made to feel so welcome by staff and locals. Dogs welcome and loved by all. Can't wait to visit again!!!

We've stayed in North Walsham with our 2 dogs. We've popped into the White Swan most days for a drink. Every time we've been made to feel so welcome. Landlady remembered our drinks order from our 1st visit. Dogs were always given treats and made very welcome even when our little french bulldog squealed at other dogs. All the regular customers were so lovely and chatted to us as if we were locals. We'll miss this place so much when we go home tomorrow. Thankyou so much for making us feel so welcome x

Visited the white Swann last Saturday for there karaoke night the gentlemen doing it was brilliant. Then a strange woman took over when her family came in to the pub and dictating what songs and who could sing she awful. When I was outside the lady came out and for some reason went up the road roaring at her dog not good for business acting like that. I work in the pub industry and never seen anything like it for karaoke night

Great place to have a pint very friendly staff

Old world charm at the front and a modern beer garden out back, very nice.

What a strange pub. Had to wait for a long time to get served even though the place was empty. We felt uncomfortable with us being visitors and they don’t serve food so we had one drink and left.

The last couple of years have seen a marvelous improvement at the pub. The landlady is so friendly and the garden is now a lovely patio. When my son visits from London he always goes there and is always greeted with a "hello nice to see you again".

Friendly landlord, beer good. Sadly no food and the Gents would benefit from a makeover.

Had a fab time, thankyou so so much.x

Always welcome and friendly staff

A lovely traditional local pub perfect for a drink. The manager is completely lovely and made my husband and I feel very welcome over the Christmas break while away from our families. Unfortunately due to the December weather we didn't use the courtyard garden which has been fully refurbished during lockdown. Wish we lived closer as this would become a regular for us. Happy new year to all the staff and locals who welcomed us!

Great local boozer. Friendly warm atmosphere. Good ale.

Beverley the landlady looked after us very well, almost too well!

Lovely genuine land lady. Extremely genuine person. Nice customers! Proper old fashioned drinking place. Not to many of these left.

Good beer and outside seating for dog owners

Nice little boozer...friendly staff and customers...locals made us feel welcome.. good night

Fantastic pub ,with such welcoming owners

Most amazing pub staff and people are super friendly good vibes and good energy from everyone

A very nice pub to go to very friendly we all enjoyed the service

Friendly bar staff and very good service 🍻

Very friendly hospitality and locals.

Lovely pub , not been in there since before lockdown, will definitely be drinking in there again

I haven't been out for a while. They're friendly enough. Great service.

Just a nice place, with a New Landlady. Just like the place.

Friendly pub, went for a poetry evening but would go again for a drink.

Lovely beer garden that you can take dogs in. Very friendly staff.

Lovely relaxed atmosphere and pretty courtyard!

Great pub very friendly staff n people

We stopped here for a drink today (in the garden) and received a very warm and friendly welcome from the landlord. He sat with us, registered us (for Covid purposes) and clearly explained the current regulations. Our dog was also made to feel welcome with fresh water and treats. The local folks were very chatty and, again, made us feel welcome. We look forward to a return visit when we can sit inside and enjoy some food. Lovely place.

over the last 4 weeks i have order 2 Sunday dinners,, each week first the food was 10 star the service and delivery was also 10 star and with a new woman manger. a great new start two this pub at the end look lockdown and will pop in for a pint in the garden with me dog thank you

My local, brilliant pub and staff.

Bev has really taken the bull by the horns&put her own stamp on the place as well as dealing with life as it is with covid 19 so u can have a nice drink in good company. What more could u ask for!

Stopped in for a couple of drinks ,Covid measurements in place ,and being well organised we felt very safe .ales kept very well and recently having new management has turned the place around .good luck to you

Wonderful pub. Bev is a lovely personable person. Very welcoming. I will DEFINITELY return. Thank you for another great evening

A pub that I always visit when I'm in the area. An honest, welcoming and comfortable pub. If you like cider try the Aspall. In my experience you'll struggle to find it on draught outside of Norfolk/Suffolk. Set in the heart of the town and used by locals it's a place that brings a smile to my face.

Small, friendly and quiet pub. It was a weekday though, might be more lively on Saturdays. Nice enclosed beer garden.

Nice little village pub who were very welcoming. Thank you.

The White Swan looks fine from the street. However once inside it needs a lot of attention. Sat in the beer garden which was unkempt, ashtrays needed emptying and the aviary, which could be an attraction, needed attention. White wine was warm. Visit disappointing.

Came in to see if they did sandwiches and for a drink and after 10 minutes waiting at the bar, no one had turned up to serve us. The few customers that were sat around looked like corpses and ignored us too. Avoid!

Good beer, nice atmosphere. Can bring own food. Pool table... Darts! Entertainment comedy acts and bands on most weekends! Cleanliness is good. Overall pretty good

Plesent company and good Guinness.

Having past this pub on many occasions, each time we visit North Walsham, we optimistically ventured inside today, with our two dogs. Well, what a mistake! The front bar was full of, what I can only describe as, very sad looking, local drinkers with nothing better to do. We ordered two simple, non alcoholic drinks from an elderly barman, before entering the incredibly scruffy, dirty uncomfortable rear garden. The landlady, was the most unsuitable person to be behind any bar.... Absolutely no personality whatsoever, verging on rude. So sad, as the pub looked quiet pleasant from outside .... we shall definitely never return

Casual pub with real ales beer garden and pool table.

Nice place, good atmosphere but was asked by a man who was drunk if i wanted a condom in me.

Great place for a quiet pint Friendly and polite bar staff. Especially on a Sunday afternoon

Very friendly staff and locals can't complain definitely coming back 10/10

Nice place for quite pint with good company.

Popped in with my brother for a coffee. He says this was a great little pub a couple of years back, well known for very tasty food. It was dark, very grimy and looked really down at heel. Coffee is instant,made in the kitchen and undrinkable—one sip and we left! Such a shame to see a nice pub go south. Advise a damn good clean-up and a coffee machine... no great investment. Are these places inspected?

Seems to be the one for the locals

Beers cheap enough, standard town pub.

Very local and better in the evening as day crowd shoppers.

Manager very bad Very uncouth dirty language always drinking and drunk 😡 Bar staff no manners very Rude . Would not use this pub not Friendly .Take your own food disparate for custom ?

Cozy , accommodating and friendly

Popped in here for a cheap pub lunch. I must say the food was very tasty on a budget great coffee too. Would happily come back again

Went to see England match. No problems to start with till party came their wives asked to seat said no problems. Went to toilets came back wife complained I was to near her seat. Said excuse me I was sat at table and gave up seats for them. Next thing idiot of husband states I swore at wife and grabbed my throat. As did it want any hassle said sorry. Have been going into pub for last year will not ever go in again. Unfortunately Pete the land Lord was not available to complain about this incident. Pity may have ended otherwise. So long White Swan.

Visited this splendid pub yesterday with our friends, great beer and atmosphere. As we were staying at our holiday home over the weekend, the ladies went into the town today for shopping and stopped off for a pint of IPA each whilst the lads prepared Valentines lunch! In addition, there is a lovely beer garden for the warmer months, and they are dog friendly. Our Labrador appreciated her water bowl !

Unfortunately this pub is not what it used to be. The last time I visited (going back a while now), the atmosphere was brilliant! The pub was always buzzing with people from around the area. Upon my recent visit I'm appalled! The manager seems friendly and welcoming to start with, however sitting in earshot of the conversations, I could be right to suggest that he is very rude and opinionated. I brought in my own food though so not to complain, not many pubs accommodate for this. My pint was good, but the area I sat in was extremely unpleasant. The old busty barmaid didn't seem to know how to clean the work area instead of constantly talking to the customers. I'm all one for being friendly but your employed to do a job. All in all, the pub was an 'OK' visit, not one of my favourites in the town anymore though. Cleanliness of the pub could be improved, a lot.

The manager is rude and impolite, the old bar maid seemed lazy, unfriendly and rude having a conversation with others whilst serving me. Pub was a complete mess and with the lack of customers it blows my mind how the bar maid hadn't bothered to clear up. No atmosphere, defiantly what used to be a good pub is now ruined. Will not be visiting again any time soon! No professionalism and my beer was flat. Only visited a couple of months back and the bar staff were friendly and happy with a band that I follow called bleaky and the meerkats. Got the quiet drink I wanted though as they didn't seem to acquire much custom. Bring the nice bar staff back!

Although the pub does not sell food it allows you to take food in and eat it in the pub or in the garden. The landlord even offered us a plate and sauce and then disposed of our rubbish.....The pub has a wonderful atmosphere and everybody, staff and customers were welcoming and friendly. Fantastic selection of ales as well. What an awesome place!

El mejor pub en la ciudad por millas, ambiente muy agradable la casera era acogedor y simpático. El día que estuve en todos los otros clientes donde los habitantes, lo cual fue genial, buena pinta de bitter darte un poco local. Si VIVIESE en North Walsham haría mi lugar favorito.

El mejor pub en North Walsham por mucho. Ya no había comida, pero el propietario está dispuesto a los clientes puede traer su propia y comer en o fuera en el jardín con una bebida comprada. Un excelente y idea novedosa. La cerveza está bien cuidado y profundamente razonable. El personal siempre atento y cortés. Es simplemente un agradable pub adecuado con un ambiente relajado. Incluso nos metimos en el día de Navidad el pasado año. Darle un toque, podrá sentirse como en su propia casa en el White Swan. Fácilmente recomendado!

Tenemos una casa de vacaciones en North Walsham 15 minutos andando de esta acogedora casa pública. El propietario tiene 50 años de experiencia en la bombas, y lo demuestra en sus excelentes cervezas. Alimentos procesados IPA nuestra elección favorita, pero hay muchas otras opciones. También hay un hermoso jardín de cerveza, simplemente sentarse en un día caluroso, y perros. De ahí nuestra excusa!

Popped into this pub before heading for dinner. Nicely located in the town centre with a friendly atmosphere. Landlord very polite and noted our departure. Would definitely visit again

This is small town pub and nothing fancy but whenever we've been I've enjoyed it. Clean and welcoming with good cheap food. Some people have been a bit critical but they need to take into consideration what they have paid. I think it's good value for money and would go back.

Pleasant staff. Food service was quite quick. Decent quality food. Snacks available as well as meals.

A nicely presented pub with friendly staff. There is a wide choice on the menu and specials board. The specials were very reasonably priced and the menu averagely priced, Four of us ate and all tried something different from both menus. but unfortunately none of us were impressed, the vegetables were tinned or possibly frozen and sloppy with no taste whatsoever. The chips again frozen (although that's not always a bad thing) but these were tasteless too and I would say the fat/oil needed changing. Eggs overcooked on a high temperature causing the whites to brown on the bottom and crisp up. We shall not be returning here for food.

We found this pub to be a great place to eat . The meal sizes are generous and pricing was spot on. Thumbs up from us.

What a little gem in North walsham.Went there for a quick pub lunch, but forund they are much more. Two good real ales on offer, The Spoeckled Hen was kept well.To eat, Peppered steak sandwich, which turned out to be a burger, but a brill one and pork chop with mushroom and garlic sauce, was top notch. the food was under a tenner and well worth it. Will be back there soon, great beer garden, birds (feathered ones, outside) it was a little oasis.Good one for people with dogs - outside, as well.
