White Swan in Ryedale

Christ what a dump. Dingy. Nice if you’re into sky sports. Thought we would try an alternative to the George and dragon and tempted by the beer garden (very nice and with great potential in summer) so tried a pint of bitter. Now I see why everyone was drinking lager. In Yorkshire ffs! One swallow to see how nice it was. Another to see it was really as bad as the first. No 3rd swig. Vinegar. Clueless cellar management. Taste what you’re serving. Wouldn’t put it on chips. The rest went down a convenient geranium pot. Hope it survives. Vile. Not into confrontation so just left and went to the George and dragon for a delicious pint or 2 of theakston’s best. Avoiding the black swan where someone with TB was coughing his guts up in the smoking area. Avoid both would be my shout.

Brill add a fab night out, hope to do it again

My pint stunk to high heaven. Leech spotted on the urinal.

Friendly pub with big beer garden at the back.

Great eveneng on sat , excellent live band , lots of friendly people and a good range of beers/ lagers and the usual drinks, nice down to earth local pub 🙂

With its beamed ceilings and small L-shaped bar the White Swan has a nice, cosy feel to it and on a quiet evening, when both pubs were almost empty, we much preferred the White Swan to the Black Swan across the road. We enjoyed pleasant service and ditto re the beers. PS - we also had a pint in the George and Dragon, but as that is a bit of a “foodie” pub, I don’t really count it in such comparisons.

Lovely little pub, really friendly. Dave landlord was so nice to talk to, along with the locals. Husband said guiness was very good, he should know!! I tried the Aspell cider which was lovely!!

cramped, badly managed, owner never in sight even when fights break out.

Grand old pub,friendly welcoming staff. Must visit when passing through.

Homely, locals pub with a welcome for visitors too. Small but with character. Good staff. It's buzzing when the local foot team are in. Oh and great real ale :0)

Great beer garden to watch the footy, landlord not such a bad chap either.

Best beer in town and friendly service. Cash only accepted. Large beer garden and friendly customers. Only downside was the Covid security. It's no good having sanitiser and a signing in book but absolutely no attempt to enforce any social distancing. This applied to both staff & punters. There was little or no distance between people from different households and several people standing at the bar by the "No standing at the bar" sign unchallenged. Didn't feel safe so left after 1 drink.

Great little Yorkshire boozer with plenty of character .

This is the best pub in town especially when The Moorside 3 are playing.

Excellent range of beers. Friendly staff. Local clientele.

I live in Derby, and 2 or 3 times a year stop near Kirkbmoorside. We don't go to any other pub other than The White Swan. We're always recognised and given a warm welcome. Try it, you'll go back again for sure? 👍

Great traditional pub with a good choice of beers and lagers, big screen TV

Great lively pub, Friendly staff and landlord.

Bar for working men to watch football.

Friendly and locals social scene. WiFi available

The black swan across the road is far superior

Ĺocal pub good family pub great staff nice beer garden ,if you visit kirkbymoorside a must.

The landlord as a bad attitude I would avoid like the plague
