Quinno _ left this review about The Black Swan
Bit of an old skool gem up the hill past Butthole Lane. There’s multiple rooms and areas with old Shepshed pictures, general ephemera, breweriana plus dark varnished ceiling beams and a general air of timelessness. Five ales across a range of strengths and styles, I had a superb pint of Bass (NBSS 4.5). Note the old skool clips on some of the more established brews. Everything a countryside small town boozer should be and I could have spent a couple of hours in here. I’m certainly going to make a point of coming back in future so I can. 8.5

This is a medium sized pub that used to be a Bass tied house it is now run by enterprise inns.
