A Proper Yorkshire Inn

In the heart of Pickering, doing things the same way for over 40 years.
The White Swan has been part of the town for centuries, and family-run since 1983.
A place for good food, comfortable rooms, and a warm welcome – whether you're staying the night or just passing through.
