The Black Swan

The Friendly Staff

We offer a friendly welcome, with cosy fires in winter and a sunny beer garden in the summer, making it one of the best pubs in the area to enjoy all year round.

We offer a good selection of real ales, lager, cider and wine, and a menu of traditional favourites at lunchtime in addition to weekly specials.

We are a family and dog friendly pub, with children welcome until 8pm, as long as both Children and dogs are accompanied by well-behaved parents!

Our Drinks

At the Black Swan, we endeavor to cater for as many tastes as possible, and we pride ourselves on the quality of our beer. We have recently become a freehouse on real ales, enabling us to offer a wider range of real ales, with different guest beers each week. We also offer a great range of lagers and ciders, in addition to a carefully selected range of wines. A variety of soft drinks and freshly brewed Lavazza coffee is also available.

Happy hour with reduced prices on a selection of beers, lagers, ciders and wines from 5-7pm Monday to Friday, and 6-7pm on Sundays. Whether you wish to enjoy a beer with locals at the bar, or enjoy the sunshine in our rear garden, we have a selection of drinks to suit every occasion.

Our Food

We serve lunch Monday to Saturday (12 till 2pm). Our lunch menu has a traditional British theme and includes favourite such as our own homemade pies, full English breakfasts, curry, chilli-con-carne and weekly specials.

We offer lighter bites such as jacket potatoes and sandwiches. We also offer bar snacks such as proper Cornish pasties from Bodmin’s Proper Cornish Pasty Company and hand raised pork pies. Our aim is to provide simple, good quality food at a value for money price.

We have a large function room, we offer various buffet options and are able to cater for a variety of functions.

Our Facilities

We have a large function room available for hire, (up to approx. 60 people), which with its own bar is an ideal venue for parties, celebrations and functions of all types. The room is adjacent to the rear garden, which is a great feature for functions in the warmer months, and we can provide catering.

We are a 5 minute drive from Canford Cemetery, making us a convenient venue for funeral wakes.

Our alternative group meeting room, otherwise known as “The Board Room” can be reserved for smaller group meetings.

We have a large West facing garden which is a real sun trap, and have recently installed a new smoking shelter with heaters, so you can be warm outside day or night.

Children are welcome in the bar and garden until 8pm provided they are accompanied by parents at all times. We do provide a range of games and board games for your family enjoyment. We are dog friendly and our own dogs Ruby and Otto are always looking to make new friends. All we ask is that guest dogs are kept on a lead at all times.

We provide Free Wi-Fi. Good wheelchair access. A small car park can be found at the rear of the Pub.

What's on - Sport

We aim to show a variety of sports events. We are renowned as a great venue for watching televised sport, in particular Rugby. We have SKY Sports and BT Sports available in two bars and can therefore show two games at the same time and will always aim to show any sport if you wish to watch it, just ask.

International Rugby days are our most popular where you can enjoy the game with good banter, good beer and a hot dog.
