Real Ale Ray left this review about Black Swan

We were looking at the opening times board outside and were amazed at all the rules and stipulations about how to behave, when the owner appeared with the keys. I commented and told her it was like a courthouse with all the rules. She didn't take offence thankfully and we popped back an hour later.
The interior is set out like a Bistro, so it was more of a restaurant than a pub. However they did have 2 beers on handpump which were Dancing Duck Aye Up and Marstons 61 Deep. We went for the Aye Up, which was in good shape and not overpriced. The interior was spotlessly clean and tidy, just the husband and wife team made the place quite miserable.

Unusually shaped building that we too accessed from the Market Place.

We arrived shortly after its 4pm opening time and found only one other customer, who was friendly and gave us a good run down of other local pubs.

The ale range was limited to Marston's 61 Deep & Falstaff Phoenix, but my Phoenix was fine.

Aqualung . left this review about Black Swan

I tried to access this place from the downstairs Lounge on the main road but it looked like building work was going on and there was a sign saying it was closing in September.
I subsequently found the market place entrance. As noted below it's a rambling wooden floored open plan place that is food orientated but hardly a gastro-pub.
The three hand pumps were all in use and had Hobgoblin Gold, Falstaff Phoenix and Shiny Mea. I went for the Phoenix which seemed to be in good nick but was a rather dull beer so wished I'd tried either of the others.
I thought it was OK.
