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.

If you're in search of a pub that offers the very best pub food in Goodramgate York then look no further than The Old White Swan. Our dining rooms are a destination in their own right offering restaurant style service and a perfect setting for formal and relaxed dining.

If you would rather grab a quick bar snack then you are equally welcome to enjoy anything from our inspirational menu in our pub. Wherever you choose to enjoy your food you'll be able to compliment it with a great cask ale or a glass of fine wine.

Dogs welcome in the courtyard only.
