This pub was full to the brim both inside and the beer garden across the road on our Saturday afternoon visit. So we carried on down to the Boat and popped in on our return. The interior was painted grey, along with the exterior. The bar area and timberwork was finished in oak which made a good contrast, l especially liked the flag stone floor in front of the bar area. Four handpumps with three in use, Hobson's Town crier, Old Prickly and Butty Bach. We found a side room on the right
which was comfortable and took note of the old photos around the walls.

Another riverside pub in the Ironbridge Gorge. This one is on the south side of the river and has a small beer garden on the river side of the road through Jackfield. Luckily for us, there were a few spare tables inside as most people were in the beer garden.

Inside there is a single staple-shaped room with a TV at one end. The TV was off when we arrived, with music playing instead. However, the barman did switch it on in time for the Six Nations rugby match. There was a wood burner at the same end as the TV. Wifi was available and bar snacks were being served.

On the bar, Town Crier & Old Prickly are the regular beers. In addition, HPA & Butty Bach were also on. Ciders were Rattler & Stowford Press.

Originally quite a small pub, the Black Swan has been opened out into one large room that encompasses not just the original building but also an extension to the side. In summer I can imagine that the two beer gardens, one across the road and one up some steps to the side, would also be in use. On my autumnal visit there was a welcome solid fuel stove to the right of the bar, with upholstered bench seating and a variety of kitchen chairs and tables. On the bar were four hand pumps (see photo for beer range) and there were a few stools beside it. At the time of my visit this pub had the character of a village local, but it must be a different sort of place altogether in the tourist months.

Date of visit: 8th November 2017
