Black Swan in Melton Mowbray

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.
