The Black Swan has been standing since the 18th Century - believed by many historians to be the oldest pub in Alnwick. We want to do justice to such a special building and historical legacy by making The Black Swan a truly special pub.
Traditionally the local pub was the place to meet, eat and drink after a long day of travelling or hard work. Enjoying a hearty pub meal or a convivial drink is, we believe, one of life's greatest pleasures, which is why we strive to provide high quality food and drinks every single day for the whole family visiting us in Alnwick. Whether it's to eat or savour one of the local ales we have in store, we know you're going to have a lovely time at The Black Swan.
Very unimpressed. Used their website to book a table for a Wednesday lunchtime (when their website says they're open) for a family birthday and got a confirmation email. Then, 24 hours beforehand, got another email asking to confirm the booking so I did. Imagine my surprise then when we rolled up and found it was shut. No answer to phone. I emailed to ask what was going on. Five days later no response. We went to Dirty Bottles next door and had a fine time but we won't be bothering with the Black Swan again...
What a great little find! Dog friendly and a bonus two for one pizza offer. We both had pizza and they were absolutely delicious 😋. Lovely friendly staff too, thank you.
We stayed here Friday and I Absolutely loved this place. The staff Louise and Olivia were fab. Location was brilliant pubs and nightclubs few doors off. Room was clean bit small but other than that I have no faults. We recommend to anyone. Thank u black swan from Emma and Charlie xx
Looked with interest at the menu here ,and decided to visit to try the Sunday Roast . Perfect location in the town of Alnwick ( Stunning Town ). Our host , Sophie seated us as we entered ( we chose to eat at 1200hrs ). Sophie was friendly , courteous and cheerful . We chose two roast beef Sunday lunch , they came freshly prepared and piping hot . Portion size was excellent, and food was delicious. Beef was perfect , vegetables were also cooked to perfection, and the request for extra gravy was quickly bought to our table. Dog friendly, which is a +plus , great location and atmosphere. Food and service fantastic- would highly recommend it . Booking may be advised as it did get busy after we arrived .
We called in here for lunch on a Sunday with the kids and luckily got one of the last tables. The service and food were excellent with lots of options for kids and the roast veg were delicious. Only downside was our table wasn’t clean when we were seated but that could be because they were busy. Otherwise it was all excellent
