Black Swan in Cornwall

Extremly nice service and dogs are allowed. Very good experience and food was delicious 🤤

What a great pub! We were staying nearby and called in for a drink to find a warm, friendly atmosphere. It was really nice to see a pub with such strong local support, with many people calling in just for a drink. We went back for dinner the following night, the service and meals were great. Think traditional pub food done really well. There's a large car park at the back of the pub, with steps down to the entrance and they're dog friendly too.

Booked table for evening meal and the staff were flexible and friendly in allowing our dog in. Further, the food was exceptionally good compared to the usual pub fare. Best garlic bread I've had for a long time. Attractive interior and relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Lovely atmosphere. Great staff. Food delicious and well priced. Fully recommended.

Nice looking pub, car park not very well lit especially as you have to walk down several serious of short steps, entrance at back not highlighted. Welcoming off the girl behind the bar was nice, seated opposite bar after making some customers move even though there were lots of empty tables especially in the 'restaurant'.Starters good, garlic bread portion was huge. Eggs on the gammon were really yellow yoked, rump tasty but was rare instead of medium, hubby was asked if all OK which he said yes and off the girl went before I had chance to answer yet I was eating my steak sat on the top of my serviette to soak up the blood. Menu limited but that xoyld be due to time of the year. Seamed like a good village pub as loads came in for a cribbage card night whilst we were eating.

amazing place. food was incredible, staff were very accommodating with my vegan diet. Great atmosphere. Will definitely return

Even though we were quite late in booking, they managed to accommodate our party of 6. Very tasty food and friendly staff. Will certainly go here again when in the area.

Visited with a friend. Staff were friendly and helpful.Decided to have some food I had a steak and ale pie and chips, with veg. It was tasty but did feel like the lid was a cooked and placed on top not sure if the meat was cooked separately and added or not. Very selection was nice and cooked just right. Friend had the curry they had 2 to choose from and seemed good.There is outdoor seating by the road in front and also another beer garden at the backThere is a decent size car park by the rear upper beer garden

We chances upon this absolute gem after leaving the seal sanctuary and how glad we are. Parking is slightly hidden past the pub to the right just off a residential street so don’t assume there isn’t any. We arrived and were greeted by perhaps the friendliest staff I’ve encountered in a pub and some very friendly locals too. Plenty of beer choice, naturally lots of Cornish options and a great menu. Atmosphere was fantastic with a mix of locals and visitors and it never felt as though we were unwelcome. Dogs are welcomed in the pub which just added to the atmosphere and made it feel very homely.The food was excellent, the cod batter and chips barely left any oil on the plate and tasted amazing. The crab salad was enormous and tasty! We can’t recommend the Black Swan enough and wish it was our local!

Friendly local, good selection of Cornish ales, other beverages are available! Easy to miss on the road in from Falmouth as it sits on a bend, with a junction of 3 roads meeting. This can be a busy area at peak times. Beware, buses and tractors are a common feature, so be prepared to give yourself time to get to Gweek.This village has so much to offer to those looking for a resting, meeting and contemplative space. A local villagegreen with fish and chips served by Sid, every Wednesday eve from 5pm, bring your own bottle, available from the pub or the local store, which supplies fresh glass bottle milk and other fantastic produce. Situated on the stunning head of the River Helford, surrounded by ancient woodland, Gweek itself has a working boatyard, with a super friendly, contemporary cafe with all round good, local and plastic-free produce offered.The Seal Sanctuary which is a popular attraction, Holifields Farm special needs community facilty that has hosted the Holifest for over a decade and some really wonderful walks in all directions, at all times of year, through all types of terrain. Of course many come here on a boat as the river is a wonder of our world, with numerous beauty spots, wildlife and oustanding area status, there are some creeks to explore, leading to other wonderful pubs and secret beaches, with abundant inspiration and anchorages that will set your heart in a spin!The Black Swan is the hub of this special place, the bar staff are often inundated, and patient, serving good pub grub with some specials offered. The locals are a laugh, and can be found perched on stools at the bar. There is a TV for sports and the all important weather update, with WIFI and outdoor areas by the road. They also offer a B&B and have a seated restaurant area. Toilets are basic but clean and functional. Dogs are welcomed with biscuits from the barmaid! But they must be well behaved and sit first! As must the kids! Kids are well thought of with a box of toys and books, some looking a bit care worn, so if you have surplus spare toys, games etc please donate, they need a nudge there. Apart from that one quibble this is a great family place, pool table, darts and live music is often on offer. Would recommend a visit if passing through Gweek. And a stop off and walk around this well maintained 'proper Cornish' village.
