The Black Swan in Telford and Wrekin - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Visited The Black Swan at short notice on a Sunday afternoon - we were lucky to get a table! Family of 5 with a dog. Pub had a lovely homely and welcoming feel. All the staff were accommodating and polite, food was very nice and reasonably priced. Will visit again.

Lovely staff and service but the food was not good, had nachos and calamari and neither were great quality

I just wanted to let people know about my very unfortunate experience at The Black Swan Jackfield today. My daughter and my husband had been there for about two hours on Sunday afternoon. I wanted to go to the toilet before I left to walk home. Initially I tried to get into the toilet , but the entrance to the foyer was pushed back closed against me. Approx 10 mins later I had to be very assertive about my need to get to the toilet in an open public bar area. There was no management around to speak to. I have a urethral stricture and I have a card to confirm my medical condition which states "The holder of this card needs to use toilet facilities immediately". There was no one behind the bar as we left. Some other people in the pub were sympathetic to my situation, but there was absolutely no one to in charge speak to about it. The whole situation should never have been allowed to happen by Black Swan Management. Black Swan management need to be far more aware of the management of their limited (one toilet only) female facilities and if those toilet facilities were being blocked by some drunk customers. I am writing this to promote change at the Black Swan, so that no one else with a toileting medical condition has to suffer what I suffered this afternoon.

Tasty pub grub in a nice old fashioned pub, tables outside near the river. Quite busy at the time we visited, food cooked fresh to order. Note no Sunday roast dinner just the usual menu.

good traditional river side pub with great hand pulled beer and food

A lovely little pub placed on the river in Jackfield, just a 15 minute walk from the centre of Ironbridge. Tables overlooking the river on the green opposite are lovely in the sunshine. Friendly service, lovely food and reasonably priced.

Not biased... but it is my local 😀 Good beer, good food (great value); not restaurant food, but top end pub food, well cooked, good portions, good menu choice. Don't have the gammon... it's massive! Dog friendly with friendly dogs. Also kid friendly, but still get 5 stars.

Great pub good food all reasonably priced and in a great location overlooking the river seven would definitely come again when we visit Ironbridge 👍👍

The Black Swan is a beautiful and original pub on the banks of the Severn. It's a limited menu which means the quality is excellent as is the beer. I loved my visit with friends and will return. It is wheel chair accessible. It has a good pub garden and great, friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Had a great time, its a small pub but full of character. Owners are friendly and we were made to feel welcome.

Nice little pub with outside seating next to the river severn. Good views of a small water slalem course.

Attractively renovated bar, friendly helpful staff. Honest affordable pub grub. Dedicated parking. Located in the gorge, great views of the river from the garden, plenty of outdoor seating. Dog friendly. What's not to like???

Great pub about a mile from the Ironbridge, worth the drive or walk to find this gem of a pub. Excellent seating across the street on solid benches with umbrellas if sunny, overlooking the Severn. Nice menu, quality food and excellent fresh beer.

Stopped for lunch sitting outside by the river. Easy parking. Shared a prawn panini with side order of chips delicious and a nice change to be offered prawns. Highly recommend.

Staff member did not take my order properly but it was soon rectified by another member of staff

3 of us arrived just just before kitchen opened and allowed to order food. 1 had Ironbridge Melt, 1 had Mushroom Jalfrezi and the other had chunky vegetable chilli all came up piping hot and very tasty meals. Service was with a smile and staff were all pleasant. Location was great on the riverbank and plenty of tables outside to choose from.

A great find for a lunch stop off. Probably the best vegan burger ever and great service. Gorgeous location too.

Great place to enjoy lunch whilst visiting the area. Good menu and selection of drinks (ploughmans is very good). Enjoy your meal overlooking the river. Decent parking & dog friendly.

Quality place, with delicious food

Solid pub food in a classic setting. Great fish and chips. Curry chips highly recommended.

The food was fantastic. Good choice of menu. Anything from a bar snacks. Light bite to a main meal.There is even a special board.

Excellent food, well cooked ant and tasty. Good choice on the menu, without being over fussy. Hobsons ales as well, bonus.

Always good pub grub!! Always good service!! Also friendly staff and customers.

Nice little pub with seating next to the river

Fantastic pub! Locals are a nice bunch to. Food is wholesome pub food, makes okes stomach happy. Lager is cold, Ale is fresh and wine choice is good.

Great little pub , parking is difficult at lunch time as it is a popular pub . Atmosphere inside is very welcoming and very different fromanohymous chains, Menu is add to by a wide range of specials displayed on a board that even my 60+ eyes coped with . order at the bar and I took the time to investigate the beers on offer . Four draught ales are offered as well as the usual suspects from the large brewers. Wine is also offered at reasonable prices . in our experience the drinks are good value. Food takes a while to appear but it is cleary made to order and is clearly made to order - my Angus beef burger was excellent as was the Fudgge Sundae. One of my defining tests is the quality of the Espresso and this did not disappoint , clearly it was made from ground coffee. Staff are lovely and it is a relaxing experience dining here , the absence of muzak is extremely welcome. use we Sat Nav to find it and around 13:00 expect to have to park on a the ( very quiet) road.

Apart from a mix up over our booking it was a great experience. The mix up was soon sorted out. The food was fantastic. More than enough - in fact, we could not eat it all! The service was fine. Great location. Lots of choice on the menu and a specials board.

My sister comes here often, we came on her recommendation. We were NOT disappointed Brilliant food Lovely staff Great atmosphere See you again soon

Lovely spot, terrible coffee, a shame because it should be possible to make a great cup of coffee these days. Didn't try the food but it looked nice.

Nice place, was busy but service was good. Food was good, no complaints. Reasonable prices and a decent choice of meals.

A beautiful pub/restaurant in a stunning location on the Ironbridge Gorge. We visited Ironbridge en-route to North Wales with our friends and took them for lunch at the Black Swan, having visited several times before, and it didn’t disappoint. The food was plentiful and delicious, I had the 16oz horseshoe gammon, and the service exceptional. We shall definitely be back soon!

Great place. Descent food and very reasonable on price. Love the good old home cooked feel. Great to sit outside on a sunny day next to the river

A wonderful pub restaurant surrounded by beautiful scenery. The food was excellant and there was a great welcome and friendly vibe from the staff

Awesome pub, great food, great drink what's not to like!

We had lunch here on Thursday after a lovely walk and it was one of the best meals I have had out in a long time we both had the Ale pie my God it didn't disappoint it covered half the plate and it came with plenty of gravy. Will definitely be visiting again and would highly recommend it .

Pet friendly for locals want dog hair in ur food go on a Sunday and the black and white dogs walks round the kitchen the owner is two faced and just wants ur money it's that pet friendly u have to step over dogs to go to the toilet even tho they have been asked to move the dog the owner is full of herself and I'm waiting for my £85 refund and u have knob heads at the bar calling u blud saying I'm ripping her off and the food was paid for and left on the table untouched there is only 1 way in and 1 way out unless u join the black and white dog in the kitchen he might show u the back door

Small and cosy, but with the best food around Ironbridge with reasonable prices. A good selection of beers, including pale ales. If you are planning on going during busy periods, you are best to call to book your table beforehand. Offers outdoor seating with nice views over the river. Great on a sunny day.

Excellent. Calamari is fantastic.

Great pub next the river Severn, lovely food

Best gammon I've ever eaten....cracking pub lovely staff

First time we've been here and the food and atmosphere was excellent.

My wife and I visited for lunch; based on previous reviews and the pub’s proximity to Ironbridge, which we were visiting. Originally we intended to just have a sandwich or light bite but on reading the menu decided to have our main meal of the day instead. I ordered a rump steak with mushrooms, onion rings, chips and peas while my wife opted for scampi and chips in a basket. We were served with speed and good friendly service and the food was freshly prepared, tasty and plentiful. There were 4 decent real ales on offer and I opted for a pint of excellent Hobsons bitter; my wife had her usual large black coffee. Total bill came to £30 which we thought good value. This is a friendly, no-frills pub offering plenty of food and drinks choice at competitive prices. In the summertime (and now if you are brave enough) there are large outdoor seating / dining areas overlooking the river so I imagine it will be extremely busy when the weather brings out more tourists. I highly recommended the Black Swan and we will certainly return in the future.

A short walk to this lovely little village pub. Great food & service. Good value. Advisable to book at weekends as the locals use it which is a good sign!

Stayed in a B&B in Ironbridge.So booked a table at the Black Swan in Ironbridge. Small pub and great food and drinks. And close to the B&B

Great food, service and value! Thanks

Absolutely great place, traditional pub with traditional pub grub but it was very tasty 😋 When was the last time you raved about a chicken breast? Well we did here. 👍

Very friendly pub with excellent food and service. Great location by the river.

Had the most amazing huge juicy piece of gammon, best we’ve had for a long time. Such a lovely cosy friendly pub with great food, The beer garden overlooking the river is great in summer.

Amazing meal and lovely staff 🥰 Great atmosphere and will definitely be returning Whenever I visit always great food and welcoming staff

Awful. Ignored at bar, rude staff! Dogs allowed free roam (including next to couples eating!) and just generally an uncomfortable atmosphere. Food also left a lot to be desired but not much of a shock as supposed ‘chef’ is apprentely a con artist and thief who has unpaid bills in other local premises.

We met the lovely couple Theresa and husband while on holiday in Gambia. We certainly agree Black Swan pub is one of the nicest pub in Jacksfield. We'll have to take a visit. Soon. From Carmel & Robert from Epsom.

Fabulous food, beer, service and atmosphere. Food is always excellent xx Went here for my sons 21st and as always we were not disappointed

Great pub in Jackfield Ironbridge. Excellent staff, food and drink. Well worth a visit.

Had a lovely meal for a family get together for 13. All the staff were lovely and the food was delicious and the portion sizes were very generous.. Many thanks to all the staff. We had a lovely family catch up.

Had a great birthday meal with the grandchildren who are made very welcome. Lovely atmosphere. Good food and beer. Will be back, can't wait for summer to sit outside!

We were part of a large group at lunchtime on a Saturday. The staff are friendly and helpful and our meals all came together which was a great achievement. All piping hot and nicely served. Good portions and a nice atmosphere. Would return

Party of 16 booked in ahead for lunch for the Shropshire Christian Walkers Group. Tables reserved and all sat with comfort. We preordered the food we wanted. no trouble at all when additional food orders were added to the party. All food turned up promptly beautifully presented excellent portion sizes. Highlights on our table were the cajun chicken salad obviously cooked fresh with a wonderful selection of spices. The angus burger cooked to perfection. juicy with lots of flavour. The cheese melt and lasagne portions very generous and fresh. The gammon chips and egg with peas also tender juicy and well presented. Service was excellent prompt and with a smile. The lady calling out the orders fantastic sense of humour and very cheerful. Definitely worth it pop in and enjoy a good selection of ales as well... their specials board is well populated so you will always have plenty of choice. they have a separate gluten free menu so you can choose well here.

What a lovely friendly welcoming pub that accepts dogs

Had fish and chips and peas and salad, and it was amazing!we will be going back, the food is fantastic!

Fantastic local pub with super friendly staff and a great menu. Dog friendly, log burner and fabulous view over the river at Jackfield. Easy 15 min walk from Holiday cottage Drake Cottage Jackfield Ironbridge Gorge.

Stopped over for a night in Ironbridge on the way back from North Wales and was recommended the Black Swan as somewhere to eat that evening. Wow, it didn’t disappoint… friendly landlady who managed to find us a table even though we had no booking and it was busy, atmosphere great, staff helpful, food was superb - fab place to visit. Thank you.

Fabulous meal as always. Landlady is lovely, loves George Michael too-we were both going to marry him, and Wham finally made the Christmas no1! Such a wonderful dog friendly pub, staff very friendly, Ironbridge melt is to die for! Would recommend it to anyone. Thankyou for being amazing as always.

We had a lovely meal yesterday. Great food, beer and service! It really is a lovely little pub :-)

Visited while staying locally after walking our dog on a cold bright day this week. Staff were great and very accommodating with our large nervous dog. We enjoyed the meals on both occasions that we visited - lovely food and great value. In warmer weather the garden overlooking the river must be beautiful but we enjoyed the warmth of the log burner instead. Highly recommended.

Had dinner on Saturday night with my wife and an Australian friend who wanted to see a real English pub. The bar was very busy and full of locals enjoying an evening drink. Real ales on draught plus kegs and cider. Really enjoyed the evening. Wide choice for the menu plus a specials board, great value food. I had the faggots and peas, my wife had the fish and chips and said it was excellent. Both were well cooked and the fish in particular was too much food for her to finish. The Baileys cheesecake was amazing. The staff were great, really friendly, and they worked very hard as the bar was very busy. All in a great evening.

Back at the Black Swan with friends to eat after a bit of a gap. Beautiful food and excellent service. We always rated the food but think that surprisingly the standard has increased even more. I had the pie, which I always love but my friend had the paella which they raved about. A useful reminder to check the specials board!!! Loved it. If you haven't tried the Black Swan yet - give it a go.

Great location, great beer and a fantastic atmosphere.

Lovely place but very cold came at lunchtime That's all that let you down 😔

Terrible avoid at all costs, main items of food were terrible , starters and side dishes were amazing but let down by main dish items like steak, burger was cold like it had been chilled ideally chef needs retraining.

Awesome little country pub ..beer spot on... Food and staff lovely .. Always enjoy and never disappointed ❤

Great beer and the button mushroom jalfrezi was exceptional. Am looking forward to visiting again.

Lovely pub for a drink but unfortunately food not so good, I did complain politely but no apology or offer of compensation. £16.95 for a main course! I think most people seemed happy with their burger & chips style meals but I ordered off of the specials board, sadly, which was a very small, sad portion with burnt bits of vegetables in it. Very disappointed.

The food was first class and they had some first class Real ales on offer 🍺🍻

Best landlady in the west! We’d been to Ironbridge for a weekend of walking and thankfully stumbled upon the Black Swan. It was the best pub we’d been in all weekend with the best beer and best food. I had to shake the chef’s hand after being presented with the best pork belly I’ve had in years. And even though the barmaid had never made an Irish coffee she was happy to google it and have a stab at making three. My hyper critical friend gave them a 4 out of five. Imagine how good the next one will be!?! 😊 There’s also a Liam Gallagher look-a-like who made sure we didn’t go wanting for anything. A massive thank you from the Norffamton lads 👍🏼

What a great pub. Good beer selection and great food at a reasonable price. Very friendly. Advise that you book a table as very popular

Lovely pub with great food which some of the photos don't do justice to! We ate here twice and the food we had was great quality and really decent portions. Reasonably priced, including the beer and wine, would thoroughly recommend to anyone in the area on holiday etc.

Great pub. Warm welcome and great value. Highly recommend for good pub food.

We found this Pub on the way to our destination.we both had the home made pie .The food was amazing.Tge staff were so friendly ,and the locals were so friendly. On the way back today ,we decided to go back to the Black Swan for...

Wonderful pub by the river and rightly popular. Good selection of reasonably priced food, well cooked. Large portion of fish & chips was very welcome after our journey.

Always great food when I’ve been. Superb Gammon steak best in ages. Tasty chilli and friendly service. Definitely worth a visit in my opinion - Lovely views outside by the river Severn.

Ate here twice on an evening whilst in the area staying nearby for work. Ploughmans cheese salad was delicious, as was the chips, beans and egg. Lovely atmosphere and plenty of space outside too whilst the sun was shining. Staff were lovely.

Had no food as just went in for few jars great place bar staff spot on great bar garden with a view food did look great

Nice riverside pub with a smallish beer garden overlooking the river. Beer was good, service was good.
