The Black Swan Inn is a historic pub, restaurant and guest house at 23 Peasholme Green in York. The timber framed building dates from the 15th century and retains a richly traditional interior, including wood panelling, coffered ceilings and an open fireplace. Two beer gardens and a car park extend the space beyond the atmospheric rooms inside.
The restaurant specialises in straightforward homemade pub food. Steak and ale pie, steak and Stilton pie and chicken, leek and ham pie are served with chips, peas and gravy, while beer battered fish comes with mushy peas and tartare sauce. Gammon and egg, lasagne and a changing curry provide further familiar main course choices.
Sunday dinner features home roast beef with homemade Yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese, vegetables and gravy. Sandwiches and smaller plates make a lighter meal possible, and the kitchen states that dietary requirements can be catered for. Diners with allergies should still discuss their needs with staff before choosing from the current menu and specials boards.
The inn’s premium ales, function spaces and long running folk and acoustic music programme give it a social role beyond ordinary meal service. Diners can settle beside the historic features for lunch or dinner, book a gathering, or combine a meal with an overnight stay in one of the guest rooms. The Black Swan Inn is particularly suited to visitors seeking traditional York character alongside comforting British food.
