White Swan, Ockbrookback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
The White Swan was my third pub in Ockbrook after the Royal Oak and the Cross Keys. The latter is not yet listed on the site. The White Swan was probably the poorest of the three. But that doesn't make it a bad pub. The other two simply had better ale choices. The White Swan had Marstons Pedigree, Shepherd Neame Spitfire, Portobello Market Porter & Adnams Ghost Ship. Only a couple of other customers were in. But it doesn't open until 4pm on weekdays. There are 3 rooms. The smallest room in the middle is the bar. The other two appear to be for food. Not a bad pub and certainly worth trying in combination with the other pubs in this village.

went for Sunday lunch which was very good. child friendly enough. Beer was excellent, can't remember what I had. Spoilt by the music that was playing, even though, to be fair, it was not very loud. Not as good as the Royal Oak but few places are. all in all 8/10

Booked a family meal here last Sunday; it started off with 10 family members & ended up with 14 + 1 baby. We were probably a larger party than normal and 2 of our family got lost so ended up arriving 30 mins late. This didn't phase the staff our food was still piping hot & very tasty. We'll defo be back if they'll have us :-)

Second visit. Lunchtime. Excellent Marstons Pedigree plus other good beers available. Sensibly chosen and priced food, more than adequate portions, tasted chef cooked. Chilli contained pieces of good beef, not mince. Licensee trying hard.

Brilliant drinkerie.
