🦢 BIG NEWS 🦢

We're thrilled to announce that we've taken over The White Swan in Wighill🎉

That means The White Swan now sits alongside The Knapton Lion, The Lord Nelson, and The Fox Inn as our fourth pub. Same values, same love of a proper pint and a proper welcome – now in another beautiful corner of Yorkshire.

We'll be opening our doors the first week of October – watch this space for the exact date and details of our opening celebrations.

See you at the bar 🍻

The Browns Keep Pulling

Down at the Nelson the doors stay wide,
No “closing down” signs, no shifting tide —
The Browns are in, and here they’ll stay,
Pouring the pints the good old way.

Pete’s in the kitchen, pans on the boil,
Turning good produce to liquid gold toil,
Nicky’s out front with a smile and a wink,
The hostess with the mostest, quick as you think.

Tom and Danny behind the bar,
Pulling pints near and far,
So rumours be damned, and gossips take note —
Nellie’s stands strong, and that’s all she wrote.

We’re not sure where the rumours have come from but We’re here to stay! Love live The Nellie ❤️
