The Black Swan currently operates as a community wet-led pub with a loyal local following. It is a popular spot for regular drinking and boasts excellent outside space for al fresco enjoyment during the summer months, offering great views over the hills. The pub features a diverse selection of drinks, shows live televised sports and has the potential to host live music events.
The pub needs to be both the hub of the village community and have a strong offer to attract customers from outside the immediate vicinity. The outside areas are quaint, making them a huge attraction during the warmer months. The landlords are looking for an experienced licensee who will serve the community, support local events, and engage in village life, as gaining local support is crucial for developing and driving the business forward. Understanding village needs will be pivotal in retaining local custom and drawing custom away from the competition. Additionally, a great social media presence and fantastic marketing will significantly contribute to the Black Swan’s success.
