We came here for my sisters baby shower. We had our own private room which was a nice size and presented well. The food was lovely & well priced. The staff were also very accommodating, we had afew issues that they were happy to help with, afew guests were late so they delayed with their food order at our request. It's a nice cosy place..will be back.

Rarely have I found such a jem of an Inn. My family and I stayed here at the end of October, and we could not have asked for more. The country pub and restaurant were both warm and inviting with lovely character. The food was delicious and the staff were accommodating. Our room was comfortable and spacious. I don't know if it had been recently refurbished but it looked as though it might be as it was spotless. As good as the room and food was they almost pale in comparison to the staff, and one in particular, Natalie, who could not have done more for us.

Waiting staff were efficient and polite. Dessert was superb! Particularly the waffle! We will be back again. Thank you Black Swan!

Don’t waste your time or money! Should be called the Narcissist Arms! The fact you cant recall our visit says it all. Absolute rubbish pub, terrible customer service! We hadn’t booked but there were plenty of free tables. They said there would be a wait on food due to a large table but a 1 hour wait felt a little excessive! They refused to even take our order which was merely burgers and fish and chips. The chap behind the bar didn’t even apologise, he seemed thrilled to refuse a customer. The waitress also took orders from a table of two and four after refusing to take our order, they were perhaps happy to wait that long. Don’t bother, food isn’t even that great if you can get served!

We were total of 15 friends and family who had booked almost all the rooms available there. The staff was super helpful. Special mention to Tony and Gemma for assisting us all and making the stay memorable. A big shoutout to their wholesome and scrumptious breakfast. This has been the 1st time for many of us out of the many stays, where croissants and danish pastries were served hot, fresh, straight out of the oven. Other items of the breakfast i.e. English breakfast, toast, tea and coffee were all served piping hot. Kudos to the chef and the kitchen staff. Must visit for their hospitality and enjoy the wonderful location in a village if you are around Norwich.

Visited for a birthday celebration for a meal. Unfortunately, I had quality issues with 1 starter and 1 main course. Our food wasn't checked on by the staff until they came to clear the plates. With hindsight, we could have gone to the bar to report the issues, so I'd encourage any other guests to do the same. I constructively suggested to the waiting staff that they do the same with future customers. In the defence of the Black Swan, they removed all the items from our bill and apologised. I would return again to give them another chance and would be happy to provide a better review next time if warranted. A local business is trying its best. On this occasion, they didn't get it quite right. Hopefully, next time, it will be better.

We are new to the area and decided to treat my in laws to Sunday lunch at our new "local". We had booked ahead and were greeted warmly on arrival and shown to a lovely table overlooking the village green. The service was prompt, friendly and professional. We all opted for the Sunday roast which arrived freshly cooked and beautifully presented. The nut roast was delicious and my in laws enjoyed their beef and turkey. Highly recommended also are the puddings - divine. A gorgeous little gem on our doorstep.

We stayed at the hotel from June 15th until June 19th and I had some dietary issues to deal with. We didn't need to have any concerns at all, as the whole crew is so well tuned and everyone had done their homework before we even arrived to make us feel welcome and adjusted everything so that I was able to enjoy food again with no worries. That was a very special break and everyone takes pride in looking after the guests to an exceptional level. The rooms are amazing; modern, large, clean, airy and the bed incredibly comfortable. As it's only 30 mins to Norwich/Cromer/ the broads it was subtly central in a very beautiful, quiet village. Also being only 800m from St. Faiths crematorium meant it was a very short walk every morning to visit my mum's grave. We shall definitely be coming back. Thank you for making our stay so memorable ❤️

We took a chance and followed the signs off the bypass and were so pleased that we did. This pub was lovely - food was excellent (I had Katsu Curry and my husband had Fish & Chips), with a varied and extensive menu. The ambience was traditional English pup with a cosmopolitan vibe. Service was excellent and to top it all they welcomed our two Dachshunds with open arms. Can’t recommend it highly enough - particularly if you want a dog-friendly environment and a good meal.

I was shocked today after attending my great niece's christening party at the Black Swan. We arrived from the church across the road at 11.00 am only to not be allowed in til 11.30 (luckily it wasn't raining) we would have been happy to pay for coffees and provide extra vevenue. Then we were only given the exact number of plates for those booked for the buffet and were told we would need to pay extra for addt plates. The same for serviettes none were provided unless we paid extra. Then scones were brought out but no jam or butter so dry then told there wasn't any butter or jam anyway. (Who wants to eat dry scones) the attitude was very poor when challenged our music was asked to go on many times but it took ages then hardly any volume. Then for the big cake moment we tried to eat without any serviettes after paying 100 s of pounds this was such a dissapoiment on such a special day. I would not book another event there unless these petty things are put right.

Lovely pub, beer is great. Attended a wedding last year and the food was lovely, however, this time we were disappointed. Service times were good, but staff seemed disinterested in our comments. One of party had fish and chips, the batter was very overcooked and chips were too, when she told waitress it seemed to go over her head. Two of our party were still midway through their meals, two of us had finished and the waitress took our plates and asked if we wanted desserts. We said we’d wait until all the party had finished. Basic stuff really.

Just off the NDR and not far from the city’s airport, so easy access and a good location. Lovely village and proud to call it home. The black swan has a reasonable selection of drinks, something to keep everyone happy but if you fancy a specific drink such as a premium vodka or a particular cider/beer the options are a little limited. Something for everyone though! Food is good, price wise allow £30 per head for a meal and couple of drinks. I rate the garlic bread.

We have been several times for a roast dinner and it was always hit & miss some Sundays it would be the best I have ever had & others it was standard, however just recently it is very poor & I won't be returning on a Sunday for a roast, also bad atmosphere with staff, seemed like they had all had a argument & were talking about each other behind backs, such a shame this place deserves better staff & customers should not feel uncomfortable due to staff fall outs, hopefully a change of staff will help the place

I was served by a young guy (orange hair) he was very polite and super friendly but you could tell and sense an atomosphere, he seemed to have had an argument with someone as he was going on about some other gentlemen who worked there and telling other customers about something that had gone on, when you come out for food you dont want to here bitchy young people going on about their drama, it all sounded rather pathetic and quite unprofessional. That said the food was great, it was served piping hot, presented lovely and you could tell all the food was fresh and very well prepared. The atmosphere in the dining area was a much needed change from the bar area, it was confortable and decorated lovely. I would visit again but I will go straight through to eat if I can next time.

My wife and I stayed at the Black Swan last weekend as it's location was central to our trip requirements. I have to to say, what a lovely establishment it is. We could not fault the cleanliness of the room that we stayed in (No 5), which was well appointed, functional, had all of the room facilities that we required and was visited by housekeeping each day for a freshen up. All of the staff that we interacted with were polite, competent and very friendly. We had a meal in the restaurant on Saturday night with some family members. All of our party enjoyed the food and atmosphere, and could not find fault. Breakfast was included in the room price and both my wife and chose the full English breakfast, which came piping hot, well presented and beautifully cooked. The bar is pleasant with a wood burning stove, a good selection of beers and adequate seating. It has it's fair share of locals that frequent the bar, who are all friendly and engaging if you take the trouble interact. All in all, we would highly recommend the Black Swan and will be staying again when visiting family in the area.

We had a wake to attend at the Black Swann recently. The carpark is a nightmare, there are no lines to designate parking spaces, so of course people park stupidly taking up much more room than needed. It is also gravel, so it is not accessible. We ended up parking on the road, with my husband struggling with my wheelchair across the gravel carpark to enter. The door is nice and wide, but there is a side table placed in the tiny entrance way which makes entering with a wheelchair really difficult, especially since the doors are so heavy. The disabled toilet is also really hard to get in and out of because of the side table blocking the hallway. The toilet was also dirty. Everyone seemed to enjoy the food but it was covered in cling film, and the staff didn't seem inclined to uncover it themselves. We brought our own food as the function menu doesn't cater for vegans. I'm sure we could have requested something but last time we did that, we were supplied with something different to what we had asked for. Unfortunately I went hungry that time. There wasn't anything vegan on the regular menu, or the specials menu that I could see. I was surprised by this because the website boasts vegan options. The decor is nice and homely, whilst being tasteful, and the staff all seemed welcoming and polite. Although the Black Swan is a lovely looking pub, I can't help but note they are really missing out on some essentials to providing a great wake.

This pub grub, bed and breakfast location is great. Due to my travels for business, the only place I could get a room was here and I'm very glad I found this place as I'll be recommending it to other colleagues instead of our usual premier inn booking. Service was quick and very friendly. I was welcomed and dealt with professionally. The food is very well presented and tasted up to my standards. I had the steak burger with garlic bread on the side. The burger was very juicy and cooked to perfection. Couldn't fault it to be honest. If I HAD to be picky...I would say the fries should be homemade and that would be 10/10! I was looking around and noticed the special for the day was a pie of some sort and the portion size was extremely generous, massive in a good way 🤣!! I love it. Oh...I can't forget to mention the lovely wood burning stove which kept us all warm!! I also had a room here and that too was just very clean, spacious and homey feeling. I can't really say much more other than I am happy with my experience. I would recommend this place for your pit stop next time 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Food looked nice but was only Luke warm , one little dish of veg for 5 people however they did bring us another one when we asked.

I ordered the special of the pork chop with apple cider and cream sauce. Not once was I advised that this was changed when it arrived it came with mint sauce. When I escalated to wait staff I was offered apple sauce from a jar and a fresh plate, which I was very thankful for as I find mint sauce not only overpowering but extremely disgusting to my palette. It appeared that the wait staff were also not made aware of this change. Had I know it would come with mint sauce I would NOT have ordered this meal! Made what was shaping up to a lovely meal sour!

The Black Swan is a lovely country pub situated just outside Norwich. It is a pub/B&B with a very good restaurant. I went there for a Sunday dinner with my wife. The Sunday fixed price menu was very good value. It had a good choice...

Very poor meal, had mixed grill and the steak was as tuff as old boots, everything was under cooked.. egg white still runny, chip’s crispy on the outside but raw in the middle. My steak was meant to be medium/well but it was still bleeding...

Lovely quiet location. The food was excellent albeit not a hugely extensive choice, BUT something for everyone. The staff were excellent and attentive. The venue, as a hearing aid user, perfect. The floor was carpeted and there were fabric curtains which makes a huge difference...

Having never been to the Black Swan before, my partner and I didn't know what to expect. Our stay though (including drinks in the garden, dinner in the restaurant, a room for the night then breakfast) was exceptional in all aspects and couldn't be faulted....

We stayed for 3 nights in this modernised, wonderful country pub superbly located for our visit to Norwich and the broads. Particularly good was the fact that the bus stop into Norwich was virtually outside the pub. The room was modern, clean and comfortable with...

Not necessarily the best driver for a visit but we stayed for one night, in Room 11, and returned the following day for a function in the room below for its locale. Room was spotless and fitted the bill perfectly for myself, wife and youngest...

Wow, we booked with friends and had a total of 3 rooms for an overnight stay and I must say it was fantastic. We arrived earlier than expected, which wasn’t a problem, the rooms were ready and there was no issues around checking in early....

We thoroughly enjoyed 2 dinners in a week at The Black Swan. The food was so delicious it would have been rude not to have 3 courses each time!! We can't wait until our next visit to try some more of the full and varied...

We tried the Sunday lunch having been pretty disappointed recently at other restaurants in and around Norwich. I have to say that the meal we had was excellent, turkey and a nut roast. Veggies cooked to perfection with special mention for cauliflower cheese! Yorkies also...

Poor food, disgusting starter ice cold. Dinner was ok nothing to shout about. Could hear staff discuss us in back which is totally unacceptable. If I could pay what I thought it was worth they should of paid me. Won't be returning

Es tan triste que es perder un Drayton par talentoso ahora su arrendamiento ha llegado a su fin. Junto con amigos disfrutamos de nuestro último almuerzo en este bonito lugar y, como es habitual, la comida, el servicio y el ambiente era inmejorable. Nos hubiera gustado Allyson y Steve lo mejor para el futuro y la esperanza de que después de una desesperadamente descanso bien merecido que se volverán en algún lugar en East Anglia. Gracias a ambos, se puede perder por muchos estamos seguros.

Family get together, as always food was excellent and service good and made to feel welcome. As we were a party of 17 it could have proved difficult for the staff but they coped admirably. Highly recommend.
