1st visit to "The Wild Swan" at Minskip. What a gem of a find. Booked in for lunch last minute. The pub looks very inviting from outside. Busy carpark, always a good sign. On entering the bar we were greeted by bar/ waiter( sorry didn't get his name). Very approachable and courteous. Shown to vacant table in bar area. Given menus along with daily specials option. Drinks order taken and served whilst we perused the menu. Great choice of starters, mains, light lunch offerings. After some difficult deliberation , decided on the fish pie and wild swan burger. Food arrived in good time. Wow, both meals looked very inviting, piping hot and tasted even better. You can't go wrong with a burger and a Pint of Timothy Taylor Landlord. My wife had the fish pie accompanied with a nice Chilean white wine X2. Overall a great experience. Everything was as it should be. A lovely village pub, great atmosphere, great food, great staff. Can't wait for Sunday lunch next week. Keep up the great work. Highly recommend Parking: Larger carpark at rear of pub

Food here is out of this world. Staff are so good at their jobs - excellent service and so friendly and charming. We loved it here - we stopped off from the A1 after a long drive north from Calais that morning and it was a brilliant evening. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options very good - cauliflower naan bread burger the best dish I think I’ve ever had. Kid-friendliness: Big table was brilliant for playing table games with the kids while waiting for meal. Well-behaved dogs in the bar were a bonus for the kids.

We stopped off here on our way up to Northumberland from Bedfordshire after searching google en route! The lunchtime menu was good and the food quality was excellent. A lovely village pub with a modern contemporary feel about it. Highly recommend.

While camping in Boroughbridge we decided to come here for tea one night, sun was out so we sat in the garden, food and service was great, highly recommend the Swan burger although I forgot to get a picture of the food, here's a pic of my empty plate 😅

Lovingly decorated, food to die for. Lovely accidental discovery on our travels north. If this is a sandwich what does dinner look and taste like

Brilliant Sunday dinner! Not been to the area before and booked The Wild Swan for Sunday dinner. My wife and I chose the 2 courses for £25 option. Tasty starters of Beetroot risotto and Lamb croquettes. Mains of chicken Sunday roast and fish pie. Both excellent. All food tasty and good portions. Special mention for the fish pie, packed with salmon, haddock, cod and prawns. Chicken roast came with good portion of chicken and plenty of veg. Great friendly service!

Oh dear, lots of faded, plastic flowers and foliage everywhere greeting you outside at the front, kerb appeal took a plummet. Extremely bright, modern, clean decor within though, with very posh loo with lovely flooring. Some parking to the front with a bit of additional parking space at the back of the property. Has outdoor seating front and back. Bar room to the left, with dining room to the right. Handpulled cask beers were Black Sheep, Timothy Taylor's Landlord and Ilkley Brewery's Mary Jane. Looked twice when I saw Wild Swan Burger on the menu, yikes, all swans are wild and you can't eat them as they're the queen's, or rather kingioh's now. Dohhh, Wild Swan is the pub name! They serve octopus.... super brainy, sentient creatures..... Not a huge choice for vegetarians on the mains, a £16 cauliflower burger or a beetroot risotto for £20.... gasp, must be gold leaf rice. I just had a brew.

Fantastic food and such a cosy location. Costs a little bit more than your average pub but the quality is well worth it. Would definately recommend if you are in the area.

We went here on the way past after a afternoon of walking in the Dales, on recommendation from a family member. The car park is a bit awkward with the bays at chevron style angles, and with a few other patrons parking badly meant it was difficult to park, but perfectly doable with some shuffling. As we had our dog we were seated in the bar area, and everyone was very friendly towards her. The food was not what we were expecting, it was amazing. I did not take photos of our starters but they were definitely a step up from pub food and more towards restaurant standardard/fine dining. The mains, pictured, were delicious and ample portioned. I, due to a weird obsession, had a Steak and Ale pie which was full of flavour and a proper pie (none of this puff pasty on top nonesense). My partner had an amazing belly pork dish that was cooked perfectly and seasoned to match. The other guests were friendly and the staff were even more so. Lucy and Niamh were fantastic, thank you for making our evening even more enjoyable! We look forward to coming again when we are in the area.
