The Black Swan Inn

About us

It’s as if history has placed a preservation order on this pub, for The Black Swan in Peasholme Green, promotes the meaning of "authenticity".

Step through the solid oak front door, itself a little masterpiece of bygone craftsmanship, and you will be visiting a distinguished medieval timber framed house, which retains a classical 17th century interior. And what an interior! The large stairway, in original creaking oak, leads off the main passageway. Another room has a roasting pit. A smaller room has a giant open fireplace. The 17th century craftsmanship didn’t worry too much about the horizontal and vertical lines and as such the slanted door cases, steps, beams and windows simply add to the distinctive character.
