THIS is what community is all about ❤️

A few days ago, Georgina Turner kindly paid for someone’s coffee and croissant when their card declined.

Raj wanted to pay Georgina back, so left some money for her at the shop — but Georgina said there was no need.

So Raj went back, collected the money, added a bit extra and used it to buy food, which was then brought down to us at The White Swan.

We’ll now turn it into a meal for Hidden Homeless Leeds ❤️

One small act of kindness from Georgina has carried on, been passed forward by Raj, and will now help someone else too.

Huge thank you to Georgina for starting it, and to Raj for keeping that kindness going.

🦔 £250 RAISED FOR PRICKLY PIGS HEDGEHOGS 🦔

We don’t usually do a lot of fundraising at The White Swan, simply because there’s already so much fantastic fundraising going on in and around Yeadon.

But when we heard about little Honey and the work being done by Prickly Pigs Hedgehogs, we thought we’d try and raise some money to help.

Thanks to everyone who came along, bought raffle tickets, donated and supported the evening, we managed to raise a brilliant £250. ❤️

A big shout-out to our Mackenzie as well, who got in touch with local businesses and managed to pull together some brilliant raffle prizes for us. 💚

And a massive thank you to everyone who donated prizes and helped make it possible:

🍰 Anais Luxury Bakery
🍺 Kirkstall Brewery
🥂 LWC Drinks
🍷 Bodega Modvil Wines
📸 Phillip Anthony Photography
🎁 Buyagift
🛒 Morrisons
🧘 Auri Pilates
🥛 Aireborough Milkman
❤️ Julia Briggs
❤️ Jeanette Dahl
🦔 And the lovely lady who knitted and donated the gorgeous little hedgehogs — we’re so sorry we didn’t get your name, but thank you so much.

We’ve contacted all the raffle winners, but there are still a few prizes waiting to be claimed — so if you bought a ticket, please check your voicemail… you might have a nice surprise waiting! 🎟️🦔

We’ll be taking the money over to Prickly Pigs at the end of this week, so if anyone would still like to add to the total, you’re very welcome to pledge a donation over the bar before then.

It really does show what can happen when local people and local businesses pull together. 🦔💚

Sundays at The White Swan 💙💛

There’s something special about a Sunday in your local.

A proper roast, a pint, a bit of football, familiar faces around the pub… and it looks like we might even get a little September sunshine too. ☀️

Our Sunday lunches are freshly cooked here at The White Swan by Euan, Gabriel and their team. We’re not a chain, there’s no head office menu and we’re not simply reheating pre-cooked dinners.

We’re proudly independent, and every time you choose to eat or drink with us, you’re supporting a local business, local jobs and helping keep a proper village pub at the heart of the community.

If the sun makes an appearance, you’re more than welcome to enjoy your Sunday out in the beer garden — and four-legged family members are very welcome too. 🐾

And we’ve got Leeds United v Crystal Palace at 2pm — Leeds’ final game before the international break. 💙💛

🍽️ Sunday lunch served 12–7pm

Pop in for dinner, stay for the match, have a pint in the sunshine… however you spend your Sunday, thank you for supporting your local.

Not just a pub — we’re your community hub.

We’ve said so long to Poppy & Patrick and sent them off to uni 🎓❤️

Both of their parents have said some really lovely things about the confidence and experience they’ve gained working with us, and that genuinely means a lot.

Patrick’s sister Niamh worked with us before she went off to uni too, and over the years we’ve had lots of local youngsters start their working lives here.

That’s one of the things we’re most proud of.

We’re not a chain. We’re a small independent local business, and every person who chooses to spend their money with us really does make a difference.

When you pop in for a pint, have something to eat, watch the football, meet friends or support one of our events, you’re not helping some huge company hit a target.

You’re helping us employ local people, give youngsters their first chance at work, support local causes and keep a proper community pub going.

Sometimes all a young person needs is someone willing to give them that first chance — and your support helps us keep doing exactly that.

So when we say support your local, we really mean it.

It’s not just about keeping a pub open.

It’s about keeping local jobs, opportunities, friendships and community alive.

Not just a pub — we’re your community hub. ❤️

🚨 BINGATE — CASE CLOSED… FOR NOW 🚨

After nearly a week of suspect files, dead phones, getaway taxis, seven suspects and enough Facebook detective work to embarrass CID…

WE’VE FOUND THE HANDCUFFS. 😂

Millie went out for her walk today, rolled in something absolutely foul and came back smelling decidedly less Chanel No. 5 than usual — frankly, not remotely fitting for a princess.

By the time I got home she’d been bathed — but not before she’d jumped straight back into her basket and contaminated the lot.

So while trying to pay wages and get back to the pub to say goodbye to Patrick and Poppy, I stripped her bed.

Lifted her little pillow…

THE BLOODY HANDCUFFS.

I just stood there holding them, questioning all my life choices and, briefly, why the bloody hell I ever had kids. 😂

And the explanation?

When Matt and Mackenzie got home that night, Matt bent down to fuss Millie and the handcuffs simply fell out of his pocket.

That’s it.

No mastermind.
No conspiracy.
No international handcuff-smuggling operation.

Just Matt, a badly timed cuddle with Millie, and a cockapoo who’d had the handcuffs under her pillow the whole time.

And the only reason we cracked the case?

Millie forced a full search of the evidence locker by coming home smelling like something no self-respecting princess should ever be associated with. 😂

Outstanding police work.

The cuffs go back tomorrow.

Yeadon can breathe easy. The emergency is over. We are now back to our usual threat level: Matt. 😂

Bingate: closed… for now.

So there we have it… the full Bingate suspect line-up. 😂

Seven suspects.
One pair of hired handcuffs.
Nearly a week of “investigating.”

And the result?

Absolutely sod all.

Only a month ago, the original Bingate kicked off after we were accused of “playing at pubs.”

Well, it’s been a quiet week and the weather’s done us no favours, so apparently playing at pubs wasn’t enough.

We’ve had to branch out.

Playing at detectives.
Playing at CID.
Playing at forensics.
Playing at surveillance.
Playing at witness protection.
Playing at international law.
Playing on Facebook.
And somehow playing at running our own tiny criminal justice system from a pub in Yeadon. 😂

At this point we’ve got suspect files, dead phones, getaway taxis, a Strait of Hormuz and a sentencing policy involving wheelie bins.

All because Matt couldn’t keep hold of one pair of handcuffs.

And at 5pm tonight, things get interesting…

FIVE OF OUR PRIME SUSPECTS WILL BE UNDER THE SAME ROOF. 👀

Five suspects.
One pub.
One pair of missing handcuffs.

No lawyers.
No reliable memories.
And absolutely no reason for us to believe the truth will suddenly emerge. 😂

What could possibly go wrong?

And yes, ChatGPT has got a LOT to answer for.

A massive thank you to everyone who’s liked, commented and joined in — you’ve kept us entertained through a quiet week, and hopefully we’ve returned the favour.

There is, however, one slight problem…

THE HANDCUFFS HAVE TO GO BACK TOMORROW.

So, suspects:

WHO’S GOT THEM?

Because tomorrow this stops being Bingate…

and becomes “right, who’s paying for them?” 😂

And if you’ve watched all this unfold and thought, “Yep, I’d fit in with that lot”…

hand your CV in.

We’re still hiring.

“Playing at pubs” experience preferred.
Actual pub experience? Nice bonus. 😂

🚨 BINGATE — SUSPECT #7: SCOTT THE PIZZA 🚨

Scott and Avril are White Swan regulars, friends, and now new parents to little Tommy ❤️

All very wholesome.

Until Scott went out on the night the handcuffs disappeared and somehow became Suspect #7. 😂

Then his phone died.

No battery.
No photos.
No messages.

Very convenient, Scott.

Then we discovered Mackenzie booked his taxi home.

So his phone was dead… but The Pirate had already arranged the getaway car. 😂

The next day he casually came in for lunch like a man who hadn’t spent the previous night dressed as a pizza in the middle of an active investigation.

His defence?

“The customer is always right.”

Not here.

That defence does not exist under Bingate law.
Diplomatic immunity: denied. 😂

The White Swan is basically the Vatican City of Yeadon.

Own laws.
Own investigations.

And the driveway where the original Bingate happened?

The Strait of Hormuz. 😂

Once you cross the Strait of Hormuz, Bingate laws apply.

Anyone found guilty of breaking Bingate law will be sentenced to one lap of the Strait in a wheelie bin. 😂

And if white smoke appears above the White Swan…

we haven’t elected a new leader.

The ringmaster hasn’t changed — I’m still here, trying to keep all these suspects in check while apparently “playing at pubs.” 😂

Gabriel and Euan are probably just busy in the kitchen…

either that, or Tapas & Sangria-gate has kicked off again.

😂

Handcuffs: still missing.
Investigation: getting worse.

And yes… we’re STILL hiring.

Want to join the madness? 😂
At this point, we’d take almost anyone.

🚨 BINGATE — SUSPECTS 5 & 6: ON THE MOVE 🚨

And here it is…

the day we’ve been dreading. ❤️

The two P’s are leaving us.

They came to the White Swan as little cygnets and, somewhere between Sunday lunches, staff chaos, daft nights out and everything else that comes with …

they became fully fledged Swans.

And yes, we’re proud.

And yes, we’re basically in floods of tears already. 😭😂

Unfortunately, sentiment does not override an active investigation.

Because both are still suspects in the case of the missing handcuffs.

🥔 POPPY — THE POTATO

Poppy has well and truly found her feet.

She’s not scared of voicing an opinion, can remember where every guest is sitting on a busy Sunday and direct people at record speed.

Basically Mackenzie’s mini me.

Which is either reassuring…

or deeply concerning. 😂

🎤 PATRICK — THE PITBULL

Patrick arrived with blushes brighter than the lights at Leeds Bradford Airport.

Now he can hold his own behind the bar, deal with the chaos and give as good as he gets.

Confidence: found.

And now…

two suspects. One destination. Manchester.

Nothing suspicious about that at all.

Apart from literally everything about it. 😂

So we can confirm:

SUSPECTS 5 & 6 — ON THE MOVE
GRANTED BAIL — TO RETURN AT CHRISTMAS

Case still open.
Handcuffs still missing.

Both are moving from one airport town to another, so naturally their details have been passed to Interpol and Manchester is on high alert.

Manchester… good luck. 😂

They’ll both be with us tonight before making their getaway, so come say goodbye, wish them luck…

and keep an eye out for any suspicious handcuffs making a miraculous reappearance. 👀😂

Once you’re part of , you’re always one of ours. ❤️

Even when you’re technically on bail.

And somehow, through all this, we’re still playing at running a pub…

and yes, we’re still recruiting.

Applications open. Anonymous ones still not accepted. 😂

🚨 BINGATE — THE USUAL SUSPECT: THE SCOUSER 🚨

We thought the suspect list was complete.

Then somebody said:

“What about Jan?”

And really… how did we miss her? 😂

Jan wasn’t on the night out.
No costume.
No Otley Run.
No known contact with the missing handcuffs.

But she WAS working when the original Bingate happened.

So this isn’t her first rodeo.

She’s got history. 👀

And then there’s the small matter of birthright.

She’s a Scouser.

She also supports Liverpool.

Which, in a pub full of Leeds fans, really isn’t helping her defence. 😂

Jan works our Monday–Thursday day shifts, usually alongside Matt…

mainly reminding him that if he’s standing still, there is definitely something he could be doing.

She’s also been “playing at pubs” longer than most of us can remember, so she knows exactly how a bar works…

and pretty much what everyone in it is up to.

Give Jan ten minutes with the regulars and she’ll know who’s moving house, who’s fallen out, who’s back together and what’s happened in Yeadon before the rest of us even knew there was something happening.

Gossip?

No.

Intelligence gathering. 😂

Then there’s the accent.

If another Scouser checks into one of our seven letting rooms and the two of them get nattering…

White Swan closed. Brookside Close reopened.

The rest of us will be stood there waiting for subtitles and half expecting ‘our’ Jimmy Corkhill to wander in for a pint. 😂

Then we get to the magpie tendencies.

Sparkly things? Loves them.

Pens left unattended?

Missing presumed Jan.

So when something goes missing, her name was always going to come up eventually. 😂

Was she there? No.
Any actual evidence? None.

Does that clear her?

Not a chance. This is Bingate. 😂

Still want the job?

Good.

Fluent in languages preferred.

Especially Scouse.

If you can keep up with Jan, keep hold of your pen and survive the rest of this lot…

you’ll fit right in. 😂
