Our Story
The White Swan Inn is an historic, family-run public house and restaurant in Blyth, Nottinghamshire. Founded over 300 years ago, the White Swan Inn has stood at the heart of Blyth as a warm and welcoming stop for travellers and locals alike. Generations of family stewardship have cared for its timber beams and open fires, carrying forward values of honest hospitality, good food, and community spirit.
Across the decades, there's been refreshed spaces while preserving character—restoring fireplaces, polishing oak bars, and opening a sunny beer garden and outdoor bar. Today, our kitchen celebrates British seasonality, while our cellar keeps a well-kept pint and a thoughtful wine list. Enjoy traditional plated dishes, Sunday roasts, live music nights, discos, karaoke, a cosy function room, outside bar and dining, open fires, and a dog-friendly, family-welcoming atmosphere.
What hasn’t changed is the feeling: a proper pub, lovingly run by family, where everyone’s invited to make themselves feels at home.

Our Food Philosophy
Our kitchen is guided by seasonality and substance. We source from trusted British suppliers and local growers where possible, craft our menus to the rhythm of the seasons, and cook with respect—letting great ingredients shine.
Expect classics elevated with care: proper roasts, slow-braised cuts, crisp pies, and thoughtful vegetarian dishes. Beautiful plating, generous comfort, and honest portions—always.

Rooted in Our Community
We’re proud to support local causes and bring people together—through quiz nights, live music, charity raffles, and seasonal fairs in our beer garden. We partner with nearby producers, sponsor village events, and host gatherings that make Blyth feel like home.
