Black Swan Hotel

You'll find the Black Swan tucked away on West Street, a proper old-school pub that's been pulling pints since the coaching days. It's got that comfortable, lived-in feel you want from a local – all dark wood and genuine character, the kind of place where regulars actually know the bar staff's names. The food leans traditional (think pies and proper Sunday roasts), and they take their ale selection seriously, rotating local breweries through the taps. It's not trying to be anything flashy; it's just reliably good at being what it is.
