  • One or two mentions of things feeling a bit untidy in certain spots, which takes away from the overall charm.

  • The staff and owners are top-notch; they're friendly, welcoming, and make you feel right at home, especially if you're a local.
  • They've got a cracking selection of beverages, from great beers to other drinks that keep everyone coming back.
  • Some of the food hits the mark, like those generous ploughman's lunches and platters – proper hearty portions that satisfy.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can feel a bit unwelcoming for newcomers, with some of the regulars making things intimidating if you're not part of the crowd.
  • The food isn't always reliable; I've heard tales of cold dishes and disappointing meals that don't live up to expectations.
  • Service might drag on when it's busy, leaving you waiting longer than you'd like for drinks or food.

Black Swan

4.2(92 reviews)
83/100
The Black Swan is a welcoming local pub in Melton Mowbray with a clean, friendly atmosphere and good beer, but watch out for the cash-only policy and lack of grub.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • 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.
Areas for Improvement
  • 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  • The inside could do with a refresh – it feels a tad outdated and in need of a makeover.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.

Cutting Room in Melton Mowbray is a cracking little pub with a warm vibe, affordable grub, and plenty of perks for a relaxed get-together.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant – always friendly, attentive, and ready to go the extra mile, like offering water for your furry friends.
  • Fantastic value for money with deals like the midweek offer for two mains, puddings, and drinks, making it a budget-friendly spot for a good meal.
  • It's super dog-friendly, which is perfect if you're out for a walk and fancy a pit stop with your pooch.
  • Loads of great features like a beer garden, live sports on the telly, and a cosy atmosphere that makes it ideal for catching up with mates.
  • The food is spot on, with tasty options like beef burgers and desserts that hit the spot, plus it's clean and welcoming throughout.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's temporarily closed right now for a freshen-up until late June, so you'll have to hold off on planning a visit.
  • There aren't any specific opening hours listed, which can make it a bit tricky to know when to pop in without checking ahead.
  • While the reviews we've seen are glowing, the overall rating suggests there might be the odd off day, so it pays to keep expectations realistic.

The Cherry Tree in Melton Mowbray is a warm, community-hearted pub that's spot on for relaxed meals, live sport, and fun events, though it's best to double-check on dietary details for a smooth visit.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are always friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
  • They serve up some cracking home-cooked food, like their popular breakfasts and traditional Sunday lunches – proper hearty meals that hit the spot.
  • It's a brilliant spot for watching live sport on BT and Sky, with regular events like curry nights, quizzes, pool, and darts to keep things lively.
  • Being family and dog-friendly, it's a welcoming place for everyone, complete with a beer garden, free WiFi, and handy car parking.
  • Prices are spot on for a good night out – inexpensive and value for money, especially for the quality of grub on offer.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some staff aren't quite up to speed on dietary needs, like confusing veggie and vegan options, which could be a letdown if you're particular about that.
  • It's more of a no-frills estate pub, so if you're after something fancy or modern, it might not quite live up to expectations.
  • A few visits have been disappointing over the years, suggesting the experience can vary depending on the day.
