Stopped by one Sunday for lunch and very glad we did. Great to see a choice of meals rather than just the traditional roast. We pad nachos, chilli salsa etc but the roast did look fantastic too. Relaxed atmosphere, relaxed but professional staff, nothing too much trouble for them. Very good value too. Also nice to find a pub for... More

One cold and wet sunday we decided to visit Belper as we hadn't been there for quite a while and about lunch time decided to stop walking around in the rain and get something to eat.

Very disappointed that children under 10 are not allowed into the Black Swan for a meal. Therefore myself and my friends will not be able to meet and eat in there again for at least 10 years.

Gourmet food at pub prices; starter, mains and drinks for just over £30 for two. I don't know if their chef is an 'up and coming' but they will struggle to hang on to him/her at this rate!

I used to really enjoy visiting the Black Swan when I lived in Belper. Relaxed atmosphere, perfect for when you just fancy going out for a chat over drinks. The crowd here always seemed to be considerate & friendly. The tapas food here was also pretty incredible.

We have eaten at The Black Swan now a few times, and everytime has been a great experience with the food continuing to suprise us with the quality and taste. The food served is of top restaurant quality, it is not the microwaved rubbish that many pubs / restaurants can serve. I would recomend it to anyone and i have.... More

Do not know if they have changed management, or just changed chef, but not as good as it used to be. Still good value for money, but like every other pub meal

My wife and I went to the Black Swan before going on to the cinema. Before 7.00 they had a two for £13 and we had the best burger I have tasted along with a great pint and one scoop of home made ice-cream. Great value and fantastic food. W will be going back, offer or no offer.
