White Swan - Northallerton

Nice pub, decent menu. You have to order the food before 5pm and then it's cooked and ready to serve from 6.30. I had the liver and onions with veg and gravy. It was tasty. The veg cooked well. The gents opposite me had the pie which looked really good as well. They said it was. Pavlova for dessert. Nice, fresh. I don't drink any more, but there was a good selection of local ales as well. Price per person: £20–30

Very friendly staff and great food. Walkers on the coast to coast path, having meals and drinks, provided a lovely atmosphere too Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Go somewhere else. The owner is off on some little power trip. He gives you orders as you arrive and woe betide you if you don't obey, without question. He then takes pleasure in doing little things that you don't realise at the time but are dreadful. Eg. When pouring my beer he left it to settle while I paid and then quietly topped it up from a glass he had already taken a swig out of! This was not the worst that he did. My dinner was slop on a plate which had to be chosen and ordered on arrival and then served at 6pm. He was rude, abrupt and offensive to other walkers as they arrived as well. He relies on the walkers for his income and he treats them appallingly. The sooner there is a new proprietor the better. The only reason I gave one star is because none was not an option.

The draft beer was great indeed. But, the feel of this Pub is not really comfy. There was no music ? , and the landlord looked more like he wanted to close soon... not a place where you 'll have another pint. Atmosphere: 2

The rooms are simple but clean. Just what an walker needs. There was an friendly girl invite to the hotel and bar. Good tasted cold beer when arrived.Fantastic food at the evening. Nice women served the breakfast at the morning. Nice idea to leave the sticks and boots downstairs. Actually they dried the boots in front of a fan. Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3
