We are a modern family run country pub & inn, on a mission to blend the modern with the traditional. Located in the beautiful village of Gilling West, a couple of miles from Richmond and Scotch Corner.

We opened The White Swan in 2013, a week after the birth of our second daughter. Following an ambitious refurbishment project, we sympathetically brought the old grade two listed building into the modern age. The newly finished building was not just a pub, but a home for our young family to put down roots and grow.

"The produce is really important to us and the methods by which it gets to your plate. Our beef truly is farm to plate. Sourced from traditional native breeds, a Shorthorn~Limousine herd treading the local foothills of Brimham Rocks - North Yorkshire. High welfare farming is a priority of ours and our beef is ethically reared by an old school farmer called Seedy. The herd is slowly matured and grass fed, this results in slower growing and gives a much better flavour. These processes greatly effect the quality of the meat.

After we’ve sourced the best beef we can, we go on to age and butcher the meat personally. We have an in-house butchery where all of our steaks are crafted to perfection and where our burgers are made by hand to our own personal recipe. This is the true epitomisation of Provenance... We don’t just say it, we mean it!

The rest of our menu sources inspiration from the local area and the seasons. Being a pub, we aspire for a relaxed and fun dining experience. Old school dishes like homemade black pudding continue the pub heritage and traditions. New and exciting dishes like our house nachos and tiger prawn thermidor allow us to move forward with a new generation of pub diners who want something a bit different. Beautiful, yet simple modern food served in a relaxed informal environment.
