| The Old White Swan is quite a pleasant old coaching inn, and my first impression was that it had the look of a pub group “refurb”. Sure enough - it is one of the Nicholson chain, with some nice Victorian features behind the bar. It was rammed when I walked past earlier in the evening, and had quietened down considerably upon my return. The bar staff were most polite and attentive, and I partook of an extremely potable pint of Salopian “Darwin” at £3.05. John Smith’s cask Bitter was also on offer, along with Cropton Brewery “Red I.P.A.”, Thornbridge “Jaipur”, and most unusually, all the way from Michigan, North Peak Brewing Company’s “Furry Black I.P.A.”. A not-to-be-sniffed-at 6/10. 5thearlofwimbourne - 22 Oct 2011 15:00 |
| Big pub divided into several different bars, often confusing if you arrange to meet here. Great range of real ales. If you choose to eat here it is a chain pub and you get what you pay for. rememberbass - 4 Oct 2011 19:57 |
| Nice enough pub, just don't order the steak. Popped in here a few times during my recent trip to York. Really nice interior with old beams on the ceiling. Food was great, and so were the staff. However on one evening I ordered a medium rare sirloin steak. For some reason it was tough and chewy. I notice from another review someone else had this problem too, so it seems it must be a regular occurrence. Bungle73 - 27 Sep 2011 13:01 |
| 6 real ales on: John Smith's Cask (the regular), Yorkshire Terrier, Nethergate, Copper Dragon and others. Food great as usual. Staff friendly. Atmospheric pub. Beers in good nick. One pint I got was a bit vinegary and it was changed for another without hassle. dynamiteninja - 18 Aug 2011 21:17 |
| A large old pub of the Nicholson gendre with a table service resturant and a bar resturant. on our visit at the weekend there were 6 ales on, I had the Jaipur and a Terrier both well kept. Typical good value Nicholsons sausage pub although the toad in the hole was just 3 small Yorkshire puds rather than the large filled one. Staff very friendly and the oly thing that let it down were the very sticky tables in the bar resturant side. CambridgeBlue - 20 Oct 2010 10:00 |
