The White Swan Inn is family owned and run. It has been in the ownership of the Buchanan family for 36years, the 2nd generation taking over in 1996. Originally built in 1532 as a four-room cottage, it was soon extended and pressed into service as a coaching inn for the York to Whitby stagecoach. Devious smugglers moving salt from Whitby via Saltersgate to York also used it. Still visible today at the side of the old stone building are the joist stones that once supported an aerial walkway. It went from what is now bedroom 2 across the alley and into the small entrance next-door, also still visible. According to the legend, when the Excise man came looking for salt and was busy searching the cellars, the smugglers used this route to transfer the salt next door. The stunning yet relaxed restaurant with its stone flagged floors and roaring fire in the winter is known for its fantastic food using only the freshest local ingredients. The White Swan inn's restaurant has proudly held AA Rosette accreditation since 1197 and serves simple delicious dishes using fresh and truely local ingredients. From their marmalade to famously-creamy ice creams and daily breads to the ketchup or mayonnaise you dip your hand cut chips into, everything is homemade in the kitchen if it can be. The menus change frequently with availability and to complement the seasons, meaning fresh and tasty food all year round. Lunch is served from 12.00pm until 2.00pm and dinner from 6:30pm until 9.00pm (8pm on Sunday).
