Fabulous choice without an overly heavy crust and presenting a perfect blend of flavors (and plating design). -Main: Rare beef salad with diced tomatoes and chorizo paired with a gorgeous combination of dressings and salad leaves. Perfectly done beef strip with a creative marriage of background flavors. We came here with our friend's family who we knew we could trust to deliver some outstanding dishes in a quaint, well furnished pub setting. The waitress was fast, helpful, and friendly throughout. The seasonal menu has clearly been meticulously chosen, leaving something for everyone and leaving no one out. The new spring menu features traditional with a twist favorites such as Tempura black pudding with red onion marmalade, a poached egg, and hollandaise sauce for starter along with steak, Red Mist ale and mushroom pie with red wine gravy for the main. The prices are very reasonable for the local, fresh produce and expert execution of the food.

We found a choice of tables available many of which had a leather sofa in place of the seats on one side. Very comfortable but in my view not practical to eat from. We were served at the table for both food and drinks. Nice choice of ales including Hoggs Back TEA. The menu offers plenty of choice and it is home (pub) made from fresh. 2 of my group went for beef roast. I chose an steak, ale and mushroom pie, and my partner chose a cumberland pie. Prices ranged between £10.50 and £14.50 (for the roast) for our meals which I felt was a little pricey compared to many. The food was served adn was absolutely first class. Everything was cooked to perfection (the meat, mash, roast potatos, vegetables etc) and was hot. It really was absolutely delicious, as was the desert afterwards (where even the cheesecake was home made). We gularly sample Sundays lunches at pubs and this is up there with the best.

So I'd definitely commend the Black Swan. UPDATE (Nov-11): After several visits, I'd now have to reduce Service from "Good" to "Generally Good" - there are unfortunately more than one member of staff who need some education about "Customer Focus" ...

A great kids menu too, with smaller portions of adult quality food. There's a definite relaxed bourgeois quality, if you are into that sort of thing. Dishes range between 9 and 15 pounds for lunch. I did have to sit in a chair that kept sinking back because it was half on brick and half on gravel, but the food and atmosphere made up for it.

We were very excited to have a lovely evening, but we did not feel welcomed what so ever, so we went to another near by pub where we had a much more welcoming and great experience. asking for ID is completely understandable when it's in the right tone and correct time.
