"Looks inviting but the staff could do with a gee up. Only here for drinks so can't rate food. Place pretty quiet for a Friday night. Large sunny beer garden at the back. One member of staff serving the bar couldn't even raise a smile need to do better."

My husband and I called in as we 've passed many times but never stopped. It looks inviting from the outside and when we stepped inside it was cosy, with a lovely fire on the go. It was around 6pm on a Friday and we were served straight away by a young female barmaid. Our experience may have continued in this pleasant vein but for a group of around 5 men, who looked to be in their 50s-60s, sat opposite the bar. It wasn 't just the volume of their banter that spoilt the atmosphere, it was the content, for example, loud references to being on sky porn and nearly getting caught by the wife, how they 'd happily pay for certain 'services ' in their home and all this interspersed with lots of effi...

We arrived unannounced for lunch on Easter Monday on our way back from Northumberland to Hertfordshire. We had first stopped at Blyth Services to take our 5 year old daughter to the toilet and made a quick departure due to the volume of people. We decided to look at Blyth village and found the White Swan. We received a friendly welcome and a clear indication that there would be a bit of a wait for food. Not in a rush, we decided to stay.

The White Swan was always popular with locals and other visitors. We hadn’t been for ages and decided to go for lunch. On arrival the lady behind the bar was not at all welcoming and we weren’t allowed a tab, even though we said we would be eating. My husband ordered the pie, which he said tasted salty. I tried it and agreed. Later, presumably the landlady, cleared our plates and asked if everything had been ok to which my husband mentioned the saltiness. She went away and returned a while later, saying that she and the ‘chef’ had tasted one, saying it wasn’t salty at all and that it must be his tastebuds! We won’t be returning needless to say.

Can't say anymore amazing things about this place. Me and my partner come here every other Thursday for lunch and are always left satisfied with the gorgeous food. Their selection of drinks are on point and just their all round friendly attitude towards everyone that enters is here. This place is a must in Blyth.
