Went with a family member, were quickly seated by a lovely member of staff, however i wouldnt say the atmosphere was that of a pub. We ordered starters which were more like a regular dish, very large portions. However they were very good, i couldnt complain, these were the crispy chilli beef starters. After this i had ordered the specialty burger they do, cant remember what it was called exactly and my company had ordered the hunters chicken, was a shame we couldn’t finish it all due to large portions but however was delicious. Was a but flabbergasted by the price at the end and wouldn’t say it was worth THAT much, however the experience was nice.

Lovely building, it was decorated beautifully for Christmas. Parking is limited but we managed to find a spot up the road. The people behind the bar were welcoming and made an effort to put Christmas decorations on our table as we had the festive menu. We were let down by our food unfortunately. I had the Brie wedges for starter which were nice but very simple and i felt were no better than ones you could buy from the supermarket. My partner had the spiced cranberry chicken wings. The sauce was very sour and because of the amount of sauce he struggled to eat them because you couldn’t pick them up and cutting the meat off of the bone was difficult. For main we both had the turkey roast. Meat and pigs in blankets were lovely!! Veg was very hard.only just cooked and roast potatoes weren’t crispy. Could have had more gravy too, red cabbage was really nice though. We felt the food let this place down as service was good overall. There was a lady training and I felt she should have been shadowing as she wasn’t sure what to ask us and when asked if I wanted a starter and I’d given my order she was already walking away before my partner could order his. We would return to try the normal menu because that looked really lovely.

A beautiful community pub in the heart of the village. We visited on the 22 Dec, the service from the front of house and at our table was wonderful a real credit to the village. All our starters where great and all the mains where equally as good.

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.
