Property Description

Trading Style

Indoor trading area

The pub boasts a bar area tastefully decorated throughout with tiled and wood-effect vinyl floors and a central bar servery. The area is divided into a games section with a pool table, gaming machines and juke box. The other half consists of a large seating area for up to 25 covers. There is a fully equipped trade kitchen adjacent to the bar area which could be utilised for expanding the food offering. To the side of the pub, there is a separate, self-contained function room. This is fully furnished with its own bar servery, toilets and stage, a great way to bring the local community together for live music, karaoke nights, discos, comedy and a wide range of events. It could also be hired out to customers for a variety of private functions.

Outdoor trading area

Whilst the pub doesn't have a beer garden, the paved area in front of the function room is well used for outside seating and socialising. The pub has a tarmac car park with space for approximately 8-10 vehicles.

Regional Manager Comments

This pub would be a great opportunity for an experienced publican or an individual with previous catering experience to develop this popular town centre venue. The pub offers high levels of flexibility and would benefit from offering a good food menu during lunchtimes whilst becoming a music venue in the evenings. The separate function room is a fantastic asset to the pub, providing an extra income stream to boost trade in quieter months. The Black Swan is at the heart of the local community and provides the new publican with an opportunity to put this great pub back on the map.
