"Apparently The Black Swan has a Michelin Rising Star and is a AA rosette restaurant in so our hopes were high for a great evening meal. Sadly we were hugely disappointed as we paid through the nose for some very pretty but completely flavour free food.We started with the free range Free-range Chicken Terrine with Pea Mousse, English Quails Egg, Peas and Crispy Bacon and the Pan-fried Mackerel with Mackerel Fritters and Warm Pickled Vegetables. Both dishes were extremely well presented but, and it is a BIG but, they had little or no flavour. The Chicken was utterly devoid of any flavour at all, in fact, the only item on the plate that tasted of anything was the crispy bacon. The fish dish was little better, it was amazingly flavourless, the best item on the plate was the warm pickled vegetables. So onto mains… I had the Line-caught Wild Sea Trout with Crab Crushed Potatoes, Samphire and Sauce Vierge and my guest ordered the Slow-cooked Belly of Old Spot Pork with Roast Apples, Fondant Potatoes, Bacon and Thatcher’s Cider Foam. Once again the presentation was faultless but the portions were very small. The trout was overcooked and served on a bed of completely tasteless Samphire, the potatoes were over salty and the Sauce Vierge was again utterly flavourless. And this pattern sadly repeated itself for the pork, which was extremely greasy and once again was devoid of any taste at all.I have no idea how this establishment had managed to impress the assessors at both Michelin and the AA; this will remain a mystery to me. Maybe the chef was away when we visited? Who knows? But on the strength of our experience here, I’d recommend giving The Black Swan a wide berth."

smoked eel with apfel, beetroot horseradish – a simple dish of balanced aromen (especially the Crème kingdoms and smoke that does not overpower as they won their.)

Quite wonderful. The most imaginative pairings of flavours that anyone could dream up. We went for the lunchtime tasting menu and everything was absolutely stunning, starting with the cocktails. The wine pairing was inspired, with the biggest surprise being a fabulous Polish dessert wine. Service was friendly and absolutely impeccable.

at the moment there are 169 michelin in Britain, of which 66 in london. if my dissatisfied hunger had his wise, we would visit each week and about four years later, give or take some new supplements, we would eventually rush them all out of the list and most likely be bankrupt. let's be honest, we're not out of money, so even a month is a bit wounded, so what do we think to pack three in three days!?

a hidden gem near kilburn and byland abbey found by accident, if we do not have a table near ampleforth, the black swan offers locally produced bark, pork and lamb cooked to perfection and a selection of pudddings to the most selective diner. the general ambiente is relaxed and friendly, the furniture are mainly oak, some of them made by the famous mousey thompson workshop in kilburn, stone flag floors in the bar completely very comfortable environment. the last time I went, it was in a group of seven for a birthday party, the total cost including pre-dinner drinks, wein and liars was a little over the head: fantastic worth for such a good evening.

name: johnemail: recently stumbled over the most beautiful pub while on a walk near the white horse. the black wan an oldstead is located in a beautiful remote location, about a mile from byland abbey. we were greeted by a burning fire and friendly host and I was pleased to see a selection of Cask-Ales including black sheep and copper dragons. enjoy a well-earned drink on the mouseman' bar, which we take on the specials board, not only their average pub duck. so impressed by our new sound we decided to return a week later to dinner. eating was just stunning! we've been back five times and never found a debt. the family who own the pub and the personal are friendly and efficient. this is not...

"We arrived here for a 2 night stay for a wedding (Fri sat night). PROS: Lynsey the manageress she 100% makes it so fabulous. Lovely, welcoming, looked after us brilliantly. Due to some staff shortages, she was doing what seemed like 10 jobs at once! We ate on one of the nights food was delicious! Great service tasty food. Breakfast was also spot on set us up brilliantly for the day ahead on the Saturday! The Willow room which we stayed in was fab ideal size, lovely cosy too! The whole 2 night stay was extremely reasonably priced the place itself has a great feel about it like a big cosy house! CONS: If you like total darkness, take an eye mask for sleeping as the rooms can get really bright from the early hours. Also, depending on the room, it’s on quite a busy road so can be quite nosy it would be worth having earplugs if you like a quiet surrounding. Due to staffing, the bar doesn’t stay open that late, so be mindful of this, they will however put drinks in your room if you can’t make it back in time for the bar closing. Taxis there are no local taxis, so arranging transport to the wedding we were attending was a nightmare which we didn’t account for! Luckily after 6 different phone calls, we managed to get sorted. The only gripe I had was the confusion over the bill if you decide to charge things to your room, the bills aren’t itemised so it’s difficult to keep track of what has been charged. There was some confusion on checkout over what we should shouldn’t have been charged for, so definitely choose to pay for any extras outright to avoid any confusion or uncertainty before check out. Other than that, it was one of the nicest, most personal stays we’ve had out in a long long time. This was mainly down to the Manageress Lynsey who is fabulous at her job really does make it feel like home makes you feel super welcomed relaxed. Thank you lynsey for really making a stay a one to remember."
