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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Fish & chips were brilliant! Not the best as you can better elsewhere but if you need something to fill your craving for battered food then this might be place? The food sold this place better than the staff but what can you do about their rude attitude.
