Located just 1 mile from the M23 and Pease Pottage services, the Black Swan is the perfect example of a quality and friendly English village pub. Family friendly with a large garden, function room, great food, drinks and coffee, a cosy bar and roaring fires, the Black Swan is the perfect place to relax and unwind.
The pub, which dates back to the 19th century, had its name changed in the 1980s to 'The James King' by its then owners, King & Barnes brewery, but when Hall & Woodhouse acquired King & Barnes in 2001 they reinstated the 'Black Swan' as the name.

Services
We've been working hard over the past few months to make sure all of our delicious food dishes are just that little bit better. As well as our usual favourites like Steak & Tangle Foot Pie, Hand-Battered Fish & Chips and our famous H&W Burger, we've also got a range of tasty sandwiches and of course our delicious Sunday Roasts, which we think are the best (apart from Mum's!).
We've got a great range of drinks, as any quality village pub should. The stars of the show are our Badger beers, brewed within 100 miles of us right in the heart of the Dorset countryside by Hall & Woodhouse and delivered fresh to us every week. Then there's a range of quality lagers and wines from all over the world, all the best spirits and soft drinks, so you're guaranteed to find something to quench your thirst.
One of the delights of the perfect English Country pub is that it is at the heart of its community a place where people can come together. That's why we believe it's so important for us to give something back to our local community. Community is incredibly important to us and as part of this, we help to fundraise for a local charity.

The food was perfect from our starters to desert everything was absolutely gorgeous!.. This is going to be our favourite dining experience! We can now say two weeks later. Black Swan absolutely is our favourite spot, today we had the Sunday roast & can honestly say it was the best we’ve ever had! A perfect meal in every way & such value for your money. We definitely coming back.

Pre ordered Xmas meal. Starter was OK,, main was cold and very dry had to order 4 extra garvy boats 😬😳. Dessert was cold. Coffee was lovely and hot. Waitress had too many covers for a single waitress,,her attitude also left a little to be desired.
Have eaten there many times before and it was great,, so am hoping this was just an isolated incident 😔😔
