Head out towards Pease Pottage and you'll find yourself at The Black Swan, a place that takes the gastropub formula seriously. The kind of spot where you can roll up for a casual pint and a burger, or book in for something a bit more considered. The restaurant side doesn't take itself too seriously — it's got that warm, lived-in feel that makes you want to linger over a second drink. You're getting proper cooking here, not just reheated convenience, which explains why locals keep coming back and why the booking sheets fill up on weekends.
