"We stayed in the village and walked to the White Swan with our dog. We were greeted warmly and given a choice of tables. We had a lovely table with plenty of space for our dog. The menu had good options and we decided to go for the traditional roasts. The starters were delicious and generous in size, especially the caeser salad which could have easily been a lunch on its own! The lamb was tender and the pork was not dry at all. There was a nice variety of vegetables to share and we were given extra gravy when we asked for it. We were even offered samples of a couple of red wines, which was a nice touch. We ended up choosing a Portuguese wine, which was very enjoyable. We were too full to try a dessert, but there were plenty of traditional options to choose from. The service was excellent and we had a relaxed and delicious dining experience. It was so good that we decided to book again for our last evening in Ampleforth."

I visited this restaurant today for Sunday lunch. All three courses were delicious. My daughter-in-law requested the fish dish without dairy, and they were able to accommodate her without any issues. We felt very welcomed by the staff. I appreciated the fact that they gave us a bottle of chilled water without us having to ask for it, which was a nice gesture.

We were directed to the ordinary bar, not the lounge bar as we just wanted drinks. What a contast-the lounge bar was really well furnished and set out and had a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The bar to which we were directed was scruffy and unwelcoming-dirty bench seating and where we sat there was a hole in the fabric. This was a special day for us and we will not be back

We popped in for a quick drink, and the land lady was so warm and welcoming. We had a lovely chat, and as we had a small celebration, went on to book a table for the next evening. We took our 2 dogs, and were treated to a really well cooked, enjoyable meal. The scampi tail stater was particularly good, with the lightest of batter, and the scampi cooked to perfection. We were also charmed by the reservation sign on our table..see attached photo

Had an excellent meal here whilst staying at the other pub, with rooms, in Ampleforth. (Separate review). Great communication between both pubs and superb service on what was a very busy evening. Excellent table close to the open patio doors was ideal to enjoy the view and be comfortable on a very warm evening. Our granddaughter enjoyed the children's steak and chips, whilst my husband, daughter and I all enjoyed the three different courses we chose all from that evening specials board. The home made bread is delicious as are the puddings!

I visited the White Swan twice for lunch during my week-long stay in nearby Coxwold. All the food was excellent and we especially enjoyed the option of smaller portion sizes for many dishes. The staff were very friendly and took our orders efficiently. A nice touch was that cold water was brought to our table without us having to ask, and without any pressure to order mineral water. It was a very pleasant experience and definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. Although we didn't have a chance to have dinner there, we were confident it would be a good experience based on the tempting blackboard specials from the previous night. Overall, the menu had plenty of options to choose from and...

We were recommended the white swan by a customer in la trattoria helmsley , we really didn 't want to drive anywhere but were very glad we did. Cathrine the manageress welcomed us on arrival escorted us to our table. We went to the bar to order drinks and greeted by a busy barman with a great sense of humour, the theakstons best was spot on. Our choice of mains was easy as no one we saw online does lamb 4 lambs it was a great rissoto and a fish pie.
