One of the oldest pubs in Herefordshire, this delightful, welcoming 15th century heavily-beamed village inn comes complete with its own priest hole. A small lounge leads into a dining room with open fire. A separate public bar with flagstone floors leads on to a pool and darts room. Home-prepared, mainly locally-sourced food is available every session. The guest beers are typically from regional breweries. Draught Gwatkins perry is available plus ciders from Cockyard, Colcombe House and other local makers. Thursday night is folk night. Herefordshire CAMRA Cider Pub of the Year 2019 and Pub of the Year 2021.

The Black Swan is an example of a genuinely old building where changes have been made in recent years, all respecting the old building. There is wattle and daub exposed in the bar. In the dining room which was called the Tudor Bar is an old peep window which gave archers command of the road and an old stone fireplace. The most impressive feature is the rare original post-and-panel partition with its Tudor-arch doorway between the lounge and the dining room. The counter in the bar only dates from the 1980s but the area itself does look like it has been like this for many years. Restoration work was carried out by Alton Court brewery in 1928. A visit is recommended.
