Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

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 !

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.

We attend a different pub each month, This month we took thirty to the White Swan, pre ordering a week in advance. We appreciate how difficult it is to serve this number, so that some have not finished their meals before others have started. The White Swan pulled it off, without meals looking or tasting like they had been kept warm in the kitchen. The pricing was very competitive compared to some venues, and the landlord was supervising front of house. If there was one minor improvement which could be made, ask the waitresses to smile, and look like they are enjoying their work.

Went for a family meal last night to celebrate our mum and dad emerald anniversary, the staff made so much effort which was a lovely extra surprise for them , table set out beautiful and a huge balloon , it’s effort like this that really sets this place out , including the staff, they can’t do enough.
The meal was all gorgeous, piping hot beautifully presented and such large portions,
I took a cake I had made and they brought it out in such a lovely way , music playing and huge candle in the middle and all the pub sang and clapped along .
We have used them 3 times now for our big celebrations and been fantastic every time , a little gem of a pub with the nicest staff we have come across, well done the white swan and thank you for making mum and dads night even better xx

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 had were good and prices reasonable. Busy place, even on a Wednesday early evening,so advise booking in advance. We'll definitely be back.

We were staying nearby on holiday and booked for Sunday lunch.
All the food was cooked fresh, tasted amazing and was very reasonably priced.
We all had Starters then a Sunday lunch, which left no room for pudding as the portions are very generous.
The specials board also had some very delicious sounding options.
All the staff were very friendly, polite and attentive. Would highly recommend this lovely pub.

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. We will definitely return.

On August 26, 2022 I was visiting a friend and a suggestion was made that we would go to The White Swan, in Bubwith. As we wanted to eat early we booked a table for 17.15. The whole experience was nothing short of amazing. The outside of the restaurant was beautiful, with flowers in window boxes. The car park was very tidy and well maintained. The staff were extremely pleasant. The food arrived very quickly after we ordered. The food was plentiful, beautifully presented and obviously freshly cooked. Two of our party had the haddock and the other had a rib-eye steak, which was cooked to perfection. We left around 19.30 and the restaurant was getting busy by then. When I am next visiting we will certainly return to this fantastic restaurant. Obviously wonderful chef. Keep up the good work everyone

Once again what can I saw but spectacular as always. We were met at the front door by Andy head waiter who is so lovely and charming. He has a rare talent for making everyone feel special and looked after.
The food was absolutely superb we had the salmon sizzler in sweet Thai chilli sauce. Which was so tender and tasty it simply melted in the mouth.
The ambience and atmosphere inside is perfect you feel completely relaxed cared for and at ease from the minute you walk in to the minute you walk out. The entertainment from last night 21st August was sublime. All in all a wonderful experience as always. I cannot recommend this place highly enough seeing and tasting is a real treat. Please go and see for yourself you will not be disappointed.

Where to start?! Firstly, an amazing menu selection - so much so that you think they can’t possibly get it right with so much choice. Boy was I wrong!
This was one of the best meals zi have EVER eaten and my family agreed. Excellent service, freshly cooked food, absolutely delicious and piping hot plates too. The food was very well presented and faultless.
Claire the landlady was very welcoming and engaging with all the diners. Great atmosphere. 11/10!

We visited with my elderly parents and sister on Tuesday evening. We were quickly and warmly welcomed and within a few minutes we had ordered drinks and they had been brought to us. Really friendly and it felt as if the drinks arrived within seconds!
We were given a few minutes to read the specials board. We were amazed at the choices available. And then the actual menus arrived and even more choice! And then we noticed a second specials board dedicated to seafood dishes.
Between us we chose the prawn salad, chicken Caesar salad, roast turkey, lamb shank and Whitby scampi. All dishes arrived together and very promptly: additional condiments provided straight away.
This review will look to good to be true but that is what it felt like! Friendly and responsive waiting staff. Genuine welcome. Outstanding choice. And the food was excellent, really really very good. All plates clean at the end of the meal!
We will most certainly be back. And we will be proactively recommending This restaurant to all of our friends.
And yes, the restrooms were also modern and ckean.

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.

We were staying at the lodges a few months miles away and called in for some food. Pork crackling loin and homemade chips for me and it was amazing. Two people had braised steak in Yorkshire pudding and one had the steak pie and chips. Portions were huge and the food was amazing. Such a great find and will return. Staff were so friendly and I bet Sunday dinner is amazing!

My husband and I visited the White Swan for the first time last night and enjoyed a delicious dinner. On arrival we were greeted by very friendly staff, who were very welcoming. The whole pub is clean, tidy and tastefully decorated. Our drinks orders were taken quickly, my husband had a pint of pale ale and I had a glass of nicely chilled wine. I’m vegetarian and husband is a meat eater, so we were pleased to see so many tasty options available for both of us, we were literally spoiled for choice. I ordered vegetable lasagne which came with a choice of sides, I opted for chips and salad. My husband ordered pork medallions with chips and vegetables. We both really enjoyed our meals. We even ordered a pudding each, I had Lemon Roulade and my husband ordered Fudge Cake, both had an option of cream or ice cream and were very tasty. The food and drinks were very good value for money and the service was excellent. We will definitely visit again.

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.
