The Old White Swan

A child and dog friendly pub serving food with Sky TV and WiFi in York.

Welcome to The Old White Swan
You will find The Old White Swan in Goodramgate York within a short stroll of York Minster, Parliament Square and Deangate - however you won't find another like it.

Step in to discover a traditional pub of unique character, revered for its eclectic range of real ales and its quality pub food, which are served, as they should be, with a generous measure of famous British hospitality.

The Old White Swan is a collection of buildings with a rather colourful history that dates from the 16th Century. We are one of York's oldest pubs and are said to be haunted. Buildings at the rear of our courtyard date to medieval times and in 1781, the world's tallest man, Mr O'Brian, was exhibited here at the pub. O'Brian stood 8 feet tall and the then landlord charged onlookers a shilling.

The Old White Swan is one of many rare gems in the Nicholson's collection of great British pubs, reputed for their distinctive buildings, intriguing history and vibrant atmosphere.

Guinness Draught 4.2 Diageo

Rich and creamy. Distinctive, Ruby Red colour. Velvety in its finish. This iconic beer was developed in 1959 and launched as a celebration of the 200 years anniversary of Arthur Guinness signing his 9,000-year lease.

Tasting Notes: Aroma: Sweet smelling with a coffee and malty nose 
 Flavour: Perfect balance of bitter and sweet with malt and roast characters Palate: Smooth, creamy and balanced

Hawkstone Session 4.0 Hawkstone Brewery

Our Session Lager is the ultimate session beer, designed to be enjoyed without weighing you down. It's light and refreshing, with a subtle hop character that adds a touch of bitterness to balance the sweet, biscuity maltiness. The low ABV makes it the ideal choice for a long day of socializing or a leisurely afternoon in the sun. It's a beer that's easy to drink and hard to resist.

Tasting Notes: Lighter bodied, citrus, refreshing bitter finish along with the sweet malty notes

Jaipur 5.9 Thornbridge Brewery

Packed full of American hops, Jaipur’s hoppiness builds in the mouth and bursts with powerful citrus fruit flavours with a remarkably smooth finish. The fantastic balance of this beer makes for a deliciously drinkable IPA.

Tasting Notes: Citrus, Honey, Hoppy

Peach 4 Jubel Beer

A lively lager that packs a fruity punch. This nectar drips with juicy peaches that will delete your thirst. A dangerously refreshing drop with a clean lager finish that leaves you wanting more.
