About This Pub

Ah, the Black Swan – it's one of those classic pubs that just feels like a reliable old mate in Melton Mowbray. From what I've gathered from the reviews, it's got that warm, clean vibe that makes you want to settle in for a chat, with staff who go out of their way to make everyone feel welcome. The beer is spot on, and if you're into a game of pool or darts, or catching some live music on the weekends, you're in for a treat. That outdoor area is a nice touch too, especially when the weather's playing ball. But, let's be honest, it's not all roses – the cash-only rule has caught a few folks out, and it's a shame about the limited space in the disabled facilities. Prices seem a bit higher than some nearby options, and without any food on the menu, you might end up nipping off for a proper meal. Overall, with a solid 4.2 rating, it's worth a visit if you're in the area, just go prepared and keep expectations balanced for a good night out.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The pub is spotlessly clean, which makes for a really pleasant visit.
  • Staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • They've got a great selection of beer and fun pub games like pool and darts to keep things lively.
  • There's a decent outdoor area, perfect for enjoying a drink on a nice day.
  • Live music on Friday and Saturday nights adds a fun vibe and variety to the evenings.
Cons
  • It's cash only, which can be a real hassle if you're out and about without any notes or coins.
  • The disabled toilet doesn't have enough space, which might make it tricky for those who need it.
  • Prices are a bit on the steep side compared to other local spots, so it might hit the wallet harder.
  • The inside could do with a refresh – it feels a tad outdated and in need of a makeover.
  • No food on offer means you'll have to head elsewhere if you're looking for a bite to eat with your pint.

Only visited once. Nice and clean. Drink okay. I'm disappointed that they only take cash. Not enough space in disabled toilet to turn in wheelchair.

Ok local. Decent outdoor area. Cash only though which caught out a lot of people. Bit pricier than some of the nearby competition too.

Old Melton Mowbray pub that needs a face lift inside. Pub games are good, pool and darts. Good beer but no food.
