Popped in for an early evening meal, a little disappointed to hear the young couple who have had it left in January, however the meal was nice & service ok too. The food isn't quite as specialist as before so if you are more of a foodie & you have been before you will notice a big difference, just not as rustic & homemade as the previous offerings but nice all the same.

Quite a good meal with my wife. Service was slow but the staff were friendly and Angela very helpful, young drinkers unfortunately ruined the atmosphere with bad language & rude behaviour later on in the evening. Would prefer to sit in the bar like we have on previous occasions to eat as the restaurant isnt the cosiest even though it has just been refurbished and the bar has a lovely log fire & old fashioned features. Desserts were a let down for me as they were not homemade as before but still an ok quality just lacking the wow factor to finish off on.

Enjoyed my lunch here yesterday! Great spot, may stay the night next time.

Food served ***** Food available from menu *** Rooms*** Shower ** Service ***** We ( 2 couples)stayed for a three night break and were more than pleased with the overall standard but must say that the range of available dishes decreased as the days went on. Breakfasts were excellent but the evening selection was limited. However, the service was first class, with Shona in particular being willing to put herself out to help with any and all requests. We would certainly stay here again.

I really enjoyed my meal at the black swan, I would recommend anyone to go!

I particularly enjoyed that fact that I was aware of the use of local produce in each dish served to us. The fact that it is homemade also speaks for itself the fresh taste in the dishes jumped out at me - something that is very rare in the eateries in the area, usually you are left with frozen chips & a pathetic slither of meat that people have the cheek to call a steak, but I must say it is the best steak I have eaten - fantastic, thick juicy sirloin. There was even a list of farms on the blackboard so you knew where the beef came from. Personally I think they have the food just right here, a great mixture to suit most tastes. Service was very good & efficient but perhaps the some of the staff could be a little more friendly! The lady in charge of front of house could not of been more helpful, the perfect host.

What a great little find. Great service, wonderful food and a lovely atmosphere. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to escape from Center Parks for a few hours.

I loved my two night break at the Black Swan! I was taken there for my birthday by my husband on the Intermate Getaway deal that they run. We had Champagne & handmade Chocolate in our room on arrival & our evening meal on both nights was fantastic! The Best Steak we have ever had! The Sea Bass dish was also really good as were the homemade desserts. It was great sitting in the bar by the log fire & just being able to chill out! Thanks for a great weekend

After reading the glowing reports on sugarvine about this pub i thought I'd give it a go so booked a table last saturday 28th June. I must say I really enjoyed it although it was very busy the standard of food was excellent. I had the Grilled Anchovies with Fresh Rocket & Parmesan for my starter & my partner enjoyed the Homemade Chicken Liver Pate which was very tasty. We then had the Duck Breast with a Blueberry Jus & a Fantastic Sirloin Steak which they hang there at the pub for at least 30days, we couldn't resist trying it once we'd read the description! The homemade chips with the Sirloin were the best Id tasted! Couldn't manage a dessert each so as instructed by the previous person that recommended the Black Swan we had a Lemon Tart between us and it was lovely. They are starting a Smoke House but unfortunately did not have anything ready for the specials board on saturday - I was told they were smoking things this week so I might be back to give it a go. The Staff were very attentive, the two young ladies in the restaurant although very busy made sure everything was just right & the young lady hosting was very friendly and had everything under control. A lovely hassle free meal in smart, clean surroundings!

The Black Swan is friendly & traditional the food is spot on! I particularly enjoy my slowly roasted pork belly with a Sultana, Ginger & Fresh Herb Dressing! Delicious! I really liked the fact that everything is local, homemade & fresh - the Lemon Tart is a must! Accommodation is outstanding much more than you would expect from a "pub". The Staff are so helpful, I would recommend the Black Swan to anyone wanting a relaxing break either on their own or with a partner. Ask for room 1 - Pea Top its perfect!
