From September we have decided to close our kitchens to non-residents on Tuesdays to allow our wonderful team the time off they deserve. After lockdown we have re-evaluated the work life balance of our Black Swan family and decided that family is always the most important thing to us. With this in mind, we have decided to close our kitchen on Tuesdays to non-residents. We will still serve the a la carte menu to our residents throughout September on Tuesdays and starting from October will be serving cold platters to our residents on Tuesdays only should you wish to eat with us when you stay on that day. All other days of the week we will be serving our normal a la carte menu. If you wish to discuss this with us or you have a booking and would like to enquire as to what this means for you, please call us on 01539623204.

Our cold platter menu will be available online in the coming days.... stay tuned for deliciousness. 

We are feeling hot hot hot here at The Black Swan this week and yesterday we were shaken by an almighty thunder storm which would have rivalled any tropical storm! While this heatwave lasts get yourself down to our beer garden and cool down with the chickens. Enjoy our brand new picnic menu on the grass with our picnic rugs available from the bar.

We have had a very exciting week at The Black Swan and we have some very exciting new developments coming along in the next few weeks. Stay  turned to our website and social media for the big reveal. 

We're taking part in "Eat out to help out". This entitles you to up to £10 off (up to 50% of your bill), Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday's in August from all food and non-alcoholic drinks. It's been a really hard few months so let's all get together and enjoy the good times.
