Description

Summary: Exposed beams and open fire crown a farm driven menu of bold, well balanced courses.

Black Swan builds a vivid picture of country dining with barnside charm. Exposed beams, flagstone floors and an open fire cradle plates driven by estate produce. Dishes lean into bold contrasts while maintaining harmony, such as Herdwick lamb served in two portions and guided by the gardeners and preservation techniques that extend freshness. The team pulses with enthusiasm, delivering a tasting menu that many praise as flavorful and beautifully plated, though some find parts over engineered.
