Quinno _ left this review about The Black Swan
An attractive old school exterior gives way to a thoroughly modernised interior. It's actually quite well done and the bar does look good with its 1970s style wood boarding. Good quality dartboard and a pool room further within. Busy, mainly with the more earthy side of the town’s inhabitants. A solitary pump in the far corner with a paper font proclaiming GK IPA, which was utterly middling but just about drinkable (NBSS 2).

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Black Swan
Pretty basic town-centre boozer, partly opened-out inside to leave a variety of spaces in the front, to the side and at the rear. Darts seems to be the big thing here, with two separate oches for Teams 'A' and 'B', the former already in use early on a Saturday lunchtime. Not much furniture, no doubt quickly cleared to leave room for the advertised live music events. Also has a pool room with two tables and a patio with wooden benches at the back. Just Theakston XB (£3.20) on offer from the pair of handpumps, and a big promotion on for the new keg John Smith's Golden Ale.
