The Black Swan, Henley-In-Arden Town, Henley-in-Arden

One of a number of pubs on Henley's High Street, the Black Swan has recently re-opened. It has been refurbished and now has a rather smart and upmarket interior. The main bar area is at the front of the pub, with a much larger dining area/conservatory to the rear, overlooking the car park. Whilst there are real ales, the range is fairly uninspiring, with Doom Bar, Tribute & Landlord. Good to see a pub re-opening, but this one seems to be aiming for diners, rather than drinkers. There are better pubs further along the street.

Traditional pub, partly opened-out inside but still retaining some character in the slightly split-level 'T'-shaped arrangement of seating / dining areas. Having said that, food only seems to be available at Sunday lunchtime, and just Doom Bar (£3.40) was available from the four handpumps. Not sure what's happening here, but it gives the impression of struggling somewhat.
