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.
Superb village community pub. Beautiful from the outside, now an asset to the green with an interesting interior, clean and modern but still retains the character of a village pub. Food was superb (we all had Hunters Chicken with desserts). The service at lunchtime was fabulous - the lady at the bar made us feel like old friends and was attentive but not intrusive. We loved our visit here and hopefully will go again soon.
Our experience at The White Swan will definitely be a talking point with friends and family.
The food was beautifully presented, the portions generous and the chef is definitely doing something right as the meal was absolutely delicious.
We’d like to give a special mention to Tilly who was just amazing as she done everything possible to make sure that we had a lovely evening. Nothing was too much trouble and her positive and friendly approach was truly refreshing.
We will definitely be returning in the very near future.
A lovely village pub providing excellent food in a welcoming atmosphere. Superb choice of large portions of freshly cooked food (with allergens detailed on the extensive menu.) Friendly staff, great decor, dogs welcome.
A great experience. We will definitely go back. Highly recommend the fish and chips.
Fantastic roast dinner. Really good portions, delicious gravy and nicely presented. First time visiting but we will be back!
Such a lovely experience, the staff was so nice and food was amazing. The atmosphere is beautiful, definitely will be coming back!
A true village asset. A good range of Norfolk ales and an interesting food menu - would highly recommend the beef brisket nachos as a sharing starter and for vegetarians the curry and burger were both very tasty indeed. 🍺
We were visiting from London for the weekend and had such a lovely lunch in the garden on Saturday we returned for a drink on Sunday afternoon! Very pleasant staff and the food was fantastic - highly recommend the fish & chips and the pork belly bites were delicious. The fact that the community come together to save the pub makes it even better!
We went here for lunch as we happened to be driving past. We were really impressed with The White Swan. The pub was busy with both drinkers and people having meals, the staff were attentive and friendly and the food was excellent. Would definitely go here again for dinner to try other things on the menu.
Really friendly and pleasant pub with excellent local ales
