The White Swan has stood on the village green since the 1600’s and is in the final stages of a complete refurbishment. Being closed since 2018, the community was disheartened to learn that their local pub would be closing.

In early 2021, the community came together to get The White Swan reopened, involving the whole village. They have worked together to purchase, rebuild and bring The White Swan back to life. Reopening in May 2022, we want to bring you the best. Our drinks poured with perfection, our menu made unique, seasonal and made with passion. Everything sourced locally. We’re proud to serve you local goodness.

Dog Rules: Dogs only in bar area and beer garden, please leave note when booking that you require a dog friendly table!

    Great Steak, great service and comfortable surroundings. Couldn't ask for more. Well worth a visit on a Thursday night for Steak night offer!

    Family invited us over to this lovely community pub- and we were all impressed! Quaint characterful - yet modern, it was sympathetically renovated . The White Swan's been in Gressenhall for over 500 years but in 2019 to save its future as the last remaining pub in the village it was purchased by the community. Over 6000 hours of volunteer work has created a beautiful village pub. Food is fresh and local. We had a buffet of mini fish, chicken and bowls of chips: was very nice, not greasy, was hot, moist, crispy and tasty. Generous portions. Bowls olives and cheese yum! I've been informed there was a good range of beers, many regional. Orchard Pig cider on tap (not local!) was pleasantly bubbly- medium dry/sweet, 4.3% Suitable for vegans and gluten free. Lovely community pub supporting local community with friendly staff. Fab place we'd go again.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We went to The Swan for our work Christmas meal as a large group and it was a great experience. All the food came out together, the food was delicious, and the staff were friendly. Everyone had a lovely evening — would definitely go back.

    Slightly dissapointed with our Sunday roast today. Pub itself is lovely inside and service was good. But we both had a roast and had to ask for more gravy as we hardly had any. Also the pork was very small slices and a bit dry. Desserts were very nice apart from the custard which was very thin. Overall ok but won’t return

    We had an amazing lunch at The Swan. The food was absolutely lovely and plentiful, could not fault it. I ordered additional onion rings after seeing them on my sons steak. Our son’s also had the chocolate brownies for dessert and needless to say it went down well ( I did managed to secure a spoonful or two)! Lovely friendly and attentive staff and the layout/decor gave such a cosy vibe on a sunny day. If you are on holiday in the area or nearby, do check this pub out! Our total bill was reasonable considering the amount we ate. Plus we ordered 3 pints of Albion, very smooth drink! From one happy and well fed family!

    Came across this pub by chance when exploring the local area. Lots of dog water bowls around, and I was welcomed into the bar. My hoomans had an amazing lunch, and the pork belly bites they let me try were delicious! I’d recommend this pub to anyone or any dog, it was pawsome!
