White Swan in Leeds

Very good food, lovely place and the staff were friendly and genuine

The staff were very accommodating and the food was great… no complaints at all! We will definitely be going back…

The White Swan in Wighill is our go-to pub, but today was our first time sampling their culinary delights. We nestled into the snug with our dog, racing against the clock with dinner at 12:15 and the F1 starting at 2 PM. Our culinary adventure included cauliflower soup, pâté, pork belly, and roast beef. Spoiler alert: everything was top-notch! The soup was a personal favorite—absolutely delightful. The food was not just tasty, it was a flavor fiesta. The staff? Simply fantastic. And the landlord? A comedic genius. The pub itself is the epitome of coziness, and while they offer accommodation, we haven’t explored that yet. After devouring our meals and downing a few beers, we made it home just in time for Martin’s grid walk in Monza. Cheers to perfect timing and even better food!

Only had a drink but definitely heading back for food. Great atmosphere 👌

Popped in on a Wednesday night which happened to be steak night, which was a good deal for a lovely couple of sirloins. Very friendly staff and 3 real ales on hand pumps so well worth a small diversion.

We stopped off on our bike ride today, the food was absolutely gorgeous we had the beef ciabatta. The quality of the beef was superb, the service was excellent and staff were so accommodating. Definitely be back x

Our family of 6 stopped for just one night. The White Swan is such a cozy, nice and inviting place situated in a beautiful village. The place and people were wonderful, both guest and hosts. Great experience! Diana and John were so hospitable & made it that extra special!

Lovely village ❤️ and pub 😀 5*

Lovely pub and staff. Just add more customers.

Wonderful evening. Great food. We'll be back!

Really nice food, great service with friendly welcome on arrival. Quite expensive £19 for burger but it was nice.

Food was delicious. It was a lunchtime which was quiet, but would defo go again

what a lovely afternoon at the Swan, brilliant Sunday lunch. Good service nice atmosphere .

Great Sunday Lunch. Excellent well cooked food, good value and great service. Good atmosphere and a willingness to fit us in despite being quite late arriving.

Fantastic place, Great Food and great atmosphere.

Fantastic hidden Gem of a Pub in the Country. Food amazing Rooms in the courtyard excelent lovely Walk in Wet Room Shower Jon and Diana were fantastic hosts. Their staff are a credit to them. Will always plan a stop over when we are back in that area. We were going to a wedding at a nearby Venue Diana drove us there. First class service, will defo stay there again Cant thank you enough.

Lovely Sunday lunch 😋 Will be back

Stunning little place, the food was incredible and well worth the money and the staff are friendly and just lovely people, already booked to go back :)

A warm welcome awaited us as we stepped through the door, sat by a roaring fire to enjoy a couple of drinks while we browsed the menu, we had lamb steak and fish pie, both very tasty and well presented. After eating in the attractive dining room we moved back into the bar for the rest of the evening, chatting to the landlord and the locals. Lovely evening.

This was much better than our previous visit. The beef, although still slightly over cooked for my taste, was very good quality. The main course was attractively served with nice fresh vegetables. Service was cheerful and efficient. Overall good value for money. Fortunately dining area not shared with dogs during our visit.

Booked the white swan for sunday roast. We didnt order starters. Some of the table ordered the pork and some ordered beef. The pork was tasty but hands down the best pork crackling I have had with a roast. Perfect. The beef was cooked perfect for me (still pink in the middle). I'm gluten free and found the meal to still have all of the taste to it. Came with variety of veg and plenty of gravy! We ordered the child pizza, which was more baguette style but that was perfect for our tor and what a portion size! We decided to round it off with puddings. I had apple crumble, the crumble was flavourful and plenty of apple. My husband got a bakewell tart which he found to be spot on..he exchanged the custard for ice cream with no issues. Our server, didnt catch her name but young girl with dark hair...extremely polite and professional. Nothing was too much trouble. The atmosphere is warm and inviting? Welcomed with smiles and care. If in the surrounding area pop in, even for a drink it's a lovely quaint pub.

Enjoyed the Sunday lunch good food and service, I would recommend

Had a meal here a few times and the food has been really good. Clean and tidy with great staff. Rooms look great but never stayed.

Great cosy atmosphere with soft gentle banter from staff especially Vicky xx food was excellent 👌

Food is delicious. Great selection to choose from and for the drivers, alcohol free lagers are available.

Quite a turn around from when i first visited this pub. The service and food were terrible, but now the service was really good and the food was tasty and well presented. I initially gave one star but have now uprated to four.

Visited with friends last night and tonight as we're staying nearby in our caravan. Super little village pub. Landlord and lady very friendly, and hard working as are the staff we met. Very quick service, food excellent, piping hot and good portion sizes so thanks to the Kitchen staff too. Nice to see a village pub with a bit of buzz. Really wanted to sample Sunday lunch but sadly we have to go home. Well worth a visit and been perfect to have on our doorstep this last 2 nights. Will definitely come back again.

Called in as i was just passing . Was made very welcome. Would definitely recommend Thanks again, Andy

I could not recommend the swan enough. Me and two friends stayed here over the weekend, the owners went above and beyond for extra dietary requirements, local information and the evening meal food was to die for! (Highly recommend the chicken with creamy mushroom sauce). I rarely leave reviews negative or positive but this had to be reviewed! Lovely quiet location with tidy gardens (and dog friendly too!)

Had lunch here. First time visit. Could the lady with bright orange dress be so unwelcoming. Almost rude. We said a friendly hello twice before she responded Our lunch was fine but next table had green ion bread which was sent back Orange dress then sitting with lady with a young child in bar area … we said goodbye….. Nothing Hospitality. Wow. Dead. Other lady serving was perfectly nice. Step up owners.

Stayed over in our motorhome for an unplanned visit, the landlord was very helpful and squeezed us in for Sunday lunch which was amazing a strong 10/10 a lovely country pub dog friendly with excellent staff

The food was OK as was the service but a little dissapointing.

Super pub, dining and rooms in small village near Wetherby. Staff very friendly and helpful. Large car park that allows motorhomes to stay overnight, phone ahead to check there is room.

Always good food and plenty of choice on the menu Haven't stayed here

Beautiful country pub, friendly staff and amazing food. Stayed overnight in our campervan as they are a host of brit stops. Overlookinga small field, beautiful beer garden and very spacious. The rooms looked immaculate and maybe next time we might stay in one. Thankyou for the warm welcome x

Brilliant friendly pub great service and excellent quality food

Called in for a drink at The White Swan while out cycling. Great to find a pub out in a small village still. Very welcoming staff, friendly locals and a great pint of Landlord. We didn't have anything to eat this time, but the food looked and smelled great, so we will call another time soon and try a meal.

We stumbled upon the White Swan as we popped off the main roads for something to eat. We received one of the warmest welcomes we have ever had from John. The food was fresh and tasty and the service was excellent. I can't fault it, just a shame it's not near where we live!

Lovely meal& a sublime irish coffee!

This place is a rare find this day and age. A pub with it all. Good atmosphere, good beer, good conversation, amazing food, beautiful building and great hosts. It was like being at your best friends place not a pub. Going back again as had such a lovley time. Hope John and Di keep it up.

Myself and my, very particular, wife had a fantastic evening meal here. I had steak n ale pie with mash, the mash was FAB!, The other had the fish pie - the best she's had! It tasted great. Fresh ingredients, fabulously cooked, generous proportions. Just really good service, banter at the bar with the locals. Very nice evening all in! 👍👍👍

Fabulous place to stay over Great meal Outstanding hosts Will be staying again

We shared a really nice Sunday lunch platter, The pork and gravy were excellent but it was all delicious! Very friendly and accommodating overall, would recommend a visit especially If you are about on a Sunday. Couldn’t fault it.

Beef Sunday dinner was incredible. Lovely local pub atmosphere and made to feel very welcome. Will be back.

Absolutely top quality food and service lovely country pub tucked away. One of the best pubs we’ve ever been too. Highly recommended a visit if your in this part of the world !

Stayed three nights. A fantastic experience all round.

Excellent food and service would strongly recommend a visit

Lovely food, great hosts good service

Lovely place very welcoming and can enjoy a laugh with locals and staff. Definitely put this on your visit if you passing

Lovely place very welcoming and can enjoy a laugh with locals and staff. Definitely put this on your visit if you passing

Called in on a Saturday for lunch and was met with a warm welcome by owner and staff. The three of us took a while to decide what to have from the good selection of dishes from the menu , eventually all decided to have a light ciabatta sandwiches lunch ( or so we thought ). ....The portions were large ! I had roast beef and a jug of hot gravy , my wife had a bacon ,brie and cranberry, salad & homemade coleslaw and my daughter had the posh finger ciabatta with salad & coleslaw ALL included best homemade CHUNKY CHIPS we have ever seen & eaten ! All of our plates were full and so were we afterwards. Posh fingers were homemade and a good size. The Bacon & brie was plenty full. The Roast beef was succulent & tender & enough gravy to compliment the beef and the outstanding chunky chips . .. We are looking forward to our next visit to try the Sunday lunch . Very attentive staff and a lovely atmosphere. Many thanks to all concerned. With 3 drinks included in the bill for £50 , great value and quality.

This was the first time and we really enjoyed our lunch when it said chunky chips that was an under statement we will be back

We stayed in the Deluxe Room Hawthorn. This was just exquisite. My daughter & her partner stayed next door, and both rooms were just amazing. The fixtures and fitting and furniture are to a very high standard. Spotlessly clean. Peaceful and comfortable. Great facilities. This is attached to the beautiful pub and the food was divine. We ate Dinner and breakfast. The hosts John and Diane are so welcoming and friendly. The staff cannot do enough to make your stay perfect. The Sunday lunches are just legendary. We cannot recommend highly enough, and we cannot wait to return. A great all round experience. 100 out 100 !!! X

Good good, staff friendly/helpful and premises spotless. So wish we lived closer.

Didn't eat Great service and a lovely pint of ale

What a lovely country pub, v welcoming, lovely food, gr8 staff, new, comfy & clean bedrooms & brillianty located for York, Wetherby, Leeds etc 😍👏👊

Always a warm welcome the few times in the year we get to visit. Very happy to say their steak pies are still on the menu 😋

Really enjoyed the food and atmosphere at the pub. Had the White Swan pie (dont worry it is steak not swan🙂). Tasty dessert too. Decent pint of beer as well. All good, will return. Returned December 2022 for Xmas lunch menu. Delicious, hot, good quality meal. 3 courses thoroughly enjoyed. Nice pint of Atlantic too. Party of 8 people... all clean plates, great service.

New chef, more modern selection of dishes, not outfacing anymore. Group of 12 of us all enjoyed our meal.

Overall a good Sunday lunch. The roast itself was excellent although starters/puddings not quite as good.

Lovely food and great service .

Fantastic Sunday Lunch. Good value and well presented.

The best Sunday dinner I've ever had!

As a repeat customer who has had a few great evening meals we brought our son and family for Sunday lunch and pre wedding dinner and was really disappointed. The room we were sat in was dark and dingy and cramped, certain items of the Sunday lunch were cold or overdone, the wine glasses were dirty, no placemats, just really disappointing. The usual owners weren't there, it was young staff passing hot food over a baby! Really let down by our visit! Won't rush back sadly which is a shame!

Popped in for Lunch on the bike. Had the posh fish finger sandwich. It was perfect and very posh. Chunky chips, top salad and great ciabatta. A nice stout from the bar good service and a beautiful place. Highly recommended.

Absolutely lovely meals, we a group of nurses from Tadcaster all had our tea's here after a busy day doing Flu vaccines

Had a lovely lunch today with our friends. Food and service was excellent and would highly recommend. We had steak pie, the pastry is to die for, hot beef and posh fish finger sandwiches. Excellent quality and good portions. We will definitely return.

Fabulous little country pub oozing style and friendly atmosphere. Great food and drink

Fabulous. From the moment we arrived, the setting was gorgeous, beautifully presented, a warm welcome and attentive staff (and very hands on interactive but nots to any food, but especially a roast, and this was easily the best roast dinner I have had in a very (very) long-time. The meat was cooked to perfection, a generous portion of crackling with the pork option, and we were quite late in the day to be seated. 10/10 all round. Highly recommend (and doggy friendly). Thank you, John, Di Chef (& Co) and your front of house team.

Excellent welcome. Owners and staff very friendly and helpful. Food absolutely beautiful and freshly cooked Well worth a visit if you haven’t been before We will return Thank you

Went here today 11/8th Aug party of 9, the staff are amazing my daughter is just getting over radiotherapy and the staff made a special effort to makesure she was cateredfor, the food was excellent ,beautiful gardens ,will definitely be going back again if in the area

A lovely country pub tucked away in a peaceful area just outside Tadcaster. Food was very tasty. One slight issue was my burger really could have done with a bigger plate! The staff were quick to bring extra napkins when they saw my fingers covered in the barbecue sauce!

We spent two very comfortable nights in the new courtyard accommodation and enjoyed an absolutely delicious meal in the restaurant. It’s such a pleasure to have home-cooked food to such a high standard. You would have to go a long way before finding such hospitable kind hosts such as John and Di. Thank you very much- we’ll be back !

Great pub and suitible for dogs. Outdoor seating and friendly staff.

Sat outside whilst waiting for a takeaway.

Great looking pub and friendly staff, shame we stayed Monday and couldn't eat or drink, but thanks for letting us stay :)

Extremely pleasant birthday lunch outside with a nice bottle of rose and the best fish sandwich with sides and homemade tarte sauce I have ever eaten, light crispy batter and charming hosts. Could not have asked for anything more!Thank you 👍 😊 💕🥳

A very friendly welcome. Barman (apologies forgot name) was exceptionally friendly & helpful throughout our stay. We had a couple with our excellent starter & main course. Ample parking. Aesthetics of the place was unique, traditional with a twist of sophisticated style. Portions was ample and choices was perfect for the hit season we're in currently. Highly recommend to the 25+ yrs, couples and smaller families .. advisory to book prior in business times. Thank you to all at White Swan. Myself and my wife will definitely visit again and we may bring a larger party next time.... Thank you 😊

Had our daughter's wedding evening party here. The food was absolutely amazing and the landlord and landlady could not have done anything more to make it perfect. The setting is beautiful so well thought out. The staff were on hand at all times. It was just a fantastic night thank you to all at The White Swan would highly recommend this venue just perfect.

Absolutely gorgeous food in a lovely little village 🥰 Tried the Hot Beef Slices sandwich and it was to die for! With chocolate cheesecake for dessert 😋 Will definitely be stopping by again if we pass through 😊

Popped in for a drink today with teenage lads. So friendly. Landlord and lady couldn't be more helpful. We pondered about lunch but decided against. Plan to return in a few weeks and eat and drink in the sunshine. We wish you luck in this venue, White swan. Thanks for making our short visit one we would like to repeat ❤️

We were staying nearby in a little cottage and had a little walk here for a drink. The staff were very welcoming. If we are ever in the area again we will definitely be back.

Excellent food and service, lovely pub in a quiet village and perfect for a lunch or evening meal. The steak we had was done to perfection and the young waitress on her first day did a magnificent job.

Nice village bar which appears to have been recently refurbished and is ongoing further refurbishment (which does not effect you In the bar or restaurant) to increase its capacity and offering. Nice food, good selection of beers and drinks, nice seating inside and out. Friendly local staff with local knowledge.

Attended the pub mid week, early dining with a family of four. Service was excellent, friendly and professional staff. Food was excellent with lots of options for GF.

Great location, nice atmosphere, friendly staff, happy to fill water bottles for struggling cyclists

Gem of a place, I'm with Britstops (stopovers for people with Campervans) very pleasant patrons and bar staff, made us feel very welcome. Delicious food at reasonable prices. Look forward to coming again once their building work is finished and they're serving breakfasts

Stopped in for lunch today, fantastic food and service, highly recommended

Delicious food, fantastic atmosphere and the owners went completely above and beyond to help our family when we needed to find accommodation. Thank you guys !

Realmente una excelente recomendación, buena cerveza, deliciosa comida y la Atención es todo momento maravilloso.

Turned up unexpected, however was soon found a table. Hospitality was outstanding by both the landlord and landlady. Food was excellent value for money, compliments to a great chef, one of the best meals I've had in a long time with local produce. They are in the process of having guest rooms built, may have to come back for a stay. Highly recommended 👌 xx

We had a beautiful meal with a pudding 🍮 😋 delicious and very friendly staff will be going again 😋

Very Friendly staff, cosy rooms.

Lovely welcome and amazing food at reasonable prices. Couldn't recommend it enough! Just the sort of homemade food we were looking for when on holiday nearby. 10/10.

A really lovely pub with lovely staff and ambience. I don't eat meat so I had fish it was quite oily and did not taste of much but the rest of the meal was great my partners Sunday lunch looked amazing also and he had no complaints. All in all would happily go back again.

Nice but £12.00 for a wine and a pint over priced but it was full and the food looked excellent

great food,great place the staff didn't look happy at all except the guy at front of house, maybe caught them on a bad day.

What makes a pub great...the hosts!! John and Di made us feel welcome the moment we stepped through the door, with their friendly banter and pleasant demeanour. The food was lovely, though I did have food envy throughout the meal though wanting to swap with my husband who had chosen steak and ale pie with chips...oh well maybe next time as I am sure we will be back :-)

Lovely lunch very friendly pub would recommend

Called at lunch time had a posh fish finger sandwich and my wife had the hot beef sandwich both absolutely top notch food beer was very good too I can highly recommend a visit
