Old Boots left this review about The Black Swan

Reopened after a refurb, the counter has been moved to the opposite side and is home to three T-Bars and two unused handpumps. A Craft Union pub so the standard lower end kegs at value prices. The front area retains a little of the front room vibe and has banquette seating at Britannia and wooden tables, the old photos remain but the screen and machine count has gone up. The pool tables has gone replaced by two dart boards in the semi basement. It’s dog friendly, has a live DJ on Fridays and various games and promotions throughout the week.

Structurally the same as for the last few years, beer wise a 4 way T-bar at one end of the counter which is subdivided by pillars, presumably marking removed walls. Further on two more T-bars and two pulls with Doombar and Landlord on offer. My Doombar was foul but instantly changed for Landlord with a 40p surcharge, to be honest it was so cheap at £2.55 I was stunned. Less front room like than previously it’s got grey plague wallpaper with old Ripon photos but retains the dark woodwork, bench seating and stained glass screen of yore. Industrial carpet and laminate floors otherwise still a traditional locals pub.
