Black Swan in North Norfolk

What an absolute gem!! I booked a table for 12 for a family meal and the staff were all wonderfully accommodating and so friendly and welcoming and helpful. We had such a lovely experience having our big family meal here - we had the best steaks 🥩we’ve had at a pub or restaurant for years!!! All meals really good value 👍 Perfectly cooked medium rare, and everyone’s chips were crispy (despite looking a little pale) the chicken tikka masala and the vegan curry were reportedly delicious too. Chicken burger was huge and delicious too. They accommodated gluten free requests and they serve good hot chocolate and coffee after dinner too! Can’t rate highly enough - and we will definitely be returning!! Well done Black Swan 👏 👏excellence service - I’m sorry no pics of food but we were so busy enjoying ourselves!! Ohh and also we got to play Uno and 0&Xs - lovely place and lovely staff 👌

It's lovely and welcoming great service cakes so yummy yet to have a meal there

Love this place ❤️ Roast dinners are delicious ,atmosphere is always fun ,staff are great .

The Black Swan is a community, not for profit, dog friendly pub. It is the perfect place to meet friends for good food and a great selection of drinks. If you are on your own the friendly staff and customers make you very welcome. There is a bar, an area to enjoy coffee and cakes, along with a lovely courtyard for al fresco drinking and dining. The added bonus of a small theatre means there is something for everyone.

Friendly staff. Nice atmosphere

Went here about 18 months ago and the staff were awful, new people have taken it over so thought i would pop in, and the new staff were all friendly and welcoming BUT the food was dreadful I went in on Sunday with my young granddaughters for a roast it came out after a half hour wait cold the gravy was really thin and watery the potatoes had been reheated and my adult meal was the same portion size as the kids meals only difference was I had two Yorkshire pudding and it cost a lot more, expensive extra Yorkshire pudding, so if you want a hot Sunday lunch better to go to the kings arms

What a change this place has been through! I used to avoid this pub but now, it's one of my favorite places. It's clean, well looked after and the food is delicious. There's so much going on, there really is something for everyone. Most importantly it feels really safe too.

Mid morning coffee. The place was packed which is a good sign. It has friendly staff, clean toilets and outside seating.

Loved this pub. Very dog friendly. Polite staff and friendly

Very tasty pub lunch, dog was made welcome.

What an amazing concept.The pub was taken over by a charity with all profits going to local community work. The beer was good,as was the food.Good luck!!

Definitely in the top 2 of swan named pubs in north walsham

Just popped in for a couple of beers friendly staff and atmosphere

Good to see this old pub thriving again, certainly worth a visit.

Visited for the monthly open mic night. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff and a sausage roll which melted in your mouth and a goid ping of Wherry. Will visit again to try the full menu.

Haven't tried the food yet but lovely pub. Enjoyed a peaceful drink.

The food here is so good! Very friendly staff, clean pub and would definitely reccomend coming here.

Always a lovely place to be.Gig booked for 30th June 'The Brothers Phillips'.Come and join us for 60's &70's music with a touch of jazz/blues too. Love love love this place and it's vibe.xx

Really nice atmosphere, food is sourced locally, an freshly prepared, really nice decor, all the staff really nice an friendly, would highly recommend

Always friendly, good value, great venue. We love it.

Can't comment on food but shall be back to try the food next time

Very friendly had a ploughman's which was tasty just needed butter. And possibly choice of cheese. Scotch egg was excellent. Will visit again

Joe cooks and serves as well as being landlord and hub of the pub, Georgie, Victoria, Sheridan, Harry, Jonquil and Tanetia are exemplary but individual bar staff plus Barbara and Sheila voluntarily in the wings as well as new addition Euan in the kitchen have totally reinvented the place. Definitely worth a visit.

This is a not for profit pub to put money into the local theatre group. Lovely staff good selection of drinks and I hope it continues to be a big part of the community.

Excellent pub with equally excellent food.

An asset to the town .Lovely cosy atmosphere & tasty snacks .Check it out !

Best pub in North walsham give Joe all the support he needs Best food best coffee best beer best wine 5 star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ service

Joe is doing a great job here, a real asset to our town. Good luck to all

Homely and a good selection of beers

Newly re-opened after a few years mismanaged & run down. The current management aim to provide a not-for-profit community resource. Good beers, snacks & open for coffee during the day. Planned music events and theatre events in the 'rooms' outbuilding. It will be interesting to see how it develops over the next few months

It's a public house. Nothing more or less. Bar staff polite. Only 2 tables occupied with 2 people on each table. Nothing more to add really!

Looks good after the latest refurbishment. The food items on offer looked appetising and the coffee was excellent too.

Didn't eat here but would definitely give it a try next time. Really friendly atmosphere and nice to sit and chat over a drink in here.

It's a beautiful little pub, nicely refurbished. Feels nice and cosy.

Lovely family place to go, very friendly people nice atmosphere,

Best pub in town after been taken over by new landlord every one welcome

Not what is use to be when I was young. Shame as it was a great place when I was much younger.

Popped Into The Black Swan Last Week Manage To Get A Lift From A Friend So Could Only Have A Couple Of Beers 🍻 Unfortunately, Would Liked To Have Stayed Longer. The Stella Was Well Presented, Was Nice To See Darren The Landlord, Will Definitely Be Back ! Good Selection Of Ales And Beers 🍻

We had a drink some only had tea and coffee the lady behind the bar had to make 3 cups of tea,as their was a problem with the milk she made sure our dog had fresh water well done 👏

Great pub great atmosphere and no bricks through the window, big win for Walsham

Some of the customers are intense and uncool. Not a good vibe.

Great place good staff and great beer

Went there today for bite to eat, I had Ham sandwich which came with a side salad and a side of chips, my wife had a Jacket Spud with tuna and cheese, side salad. I haven't had chips that good for many a year, Just like my Mum's. Can't fault the portion size 👏all for £11.50 Thank you

A good local pub. Shows sports on tv

Small town... usual folk in same settings ..bit like American werewolf in London style pub...when you enter everyone stops to look at you...aside that it has a pool table a TV playing music from different eras and some funky inhabitants ,

How you got this i don't know. I have not frequented this establishment. I have only been in the White Swan PH.

Very friendly staff. Reasonable price.

A lovely friendly local pub serving a good selection of real ales.

Good beer and a really good atmosphere 👌

Lovely Sunday lunch, but would not have been so enjoyable if someone had been playing pool, we did ask for the TV to be turned down. Food was good, Barmaid was so busy, rushed off her feet, she was brilliant.

Years gone by been a local, New Landlady.

Popped in here to see if they were showing the football....it was a clean well kept pub with friendly staff ...and customers who all made us visitors to the area very welcome ...would highly recommend it here ....dog friendly too👍

Very welcoming and cheerful after a long absence

Unpretentious drinkers pub. Clean and welcoming. Track and trace observed. Nice pint of Ghost Ship. No other real ales on at the time.

Nice town centre pub tucked away. Friendly staff draught Aspall available. Pool table, Juke box nice place.

The bar staff are friendly... But the whole pub just lacks any atmosphere

Friendly staff, well stocked bar and great band. Ripe for regeneration (especially the loos!)

One of the most grubbiest pubs I've ever been in. Went to a pool tournament which took place in the function room. It was really badly decorated, there was feaces and blood on the wall of the ladies toilet and the sink was filthy. The bar in the main pub was splattered with filth at the bottom near everyone's legs which I my friend and I noticed on our way in. The food provided luckily was bought in from a local takeaway and we put on our own music via a Bluetooth speaker after grudgingly being given a chance to use it by a member of the opposite team that played the same song about 5 times. At the end of the night after the tournament we had a friendly game and were told to leave (before 11:30) as they were closing. This place could definitely be improved somewhat.

I love the black the black swan very friendly peaple.

Lovely place. Great cappuccino. Friendly staff

Great place! Lovely people & great music

Friendly barstaff. Prices are fair. Nice atmosphere.

It's a lovely little pub, which has pool, tv, jukebox, darts, a selection of beers and a beer garden. Good atmosphere .

Brilliant pub, lovely friendly staff.

Friendly welcoming staff and customers. Dog friendly.

A traditional pub, as pubs should be, long may it last

Great friendly staff and lovely atmosphere

Carvery is good value and the pub is friendly and inviting

Great staff good company nice boozer all round beer great

Great family run pub, Tom, the landlord does a very good impression of the most miserable landlord in the county. He is actually a big softy.

Tucked away locals local.Nothing special but then there is not much choice in this town.

Nice friendly pub good beer and food is good as well

Up from Kent, brilliant owners/staff, great customers and A1 ale! 1st place we head to when in North Walsham.

Cracking little pub and very friendly staff and owner

The meal I had was very lovey the man who brought my dinner was very good manners.

Cheap good homemade food friendly staff nice little pub .

Great staff and good beer. Do you need anything else from a pub?

Friendly local pub. Pool table that's still only 50p!

Standard small town pub. Lovely staff, needs more seating.
