Ignore previous reviews based on previous owners. We visit this pub regularly when in Bedale. Never had such an awful experience in a pub in my life. 3 large dogs roaming around off the lead. 2 Staffies and a German Shepherd. A drunk chav in charge apparently. A lady behind the bar who CANNOT pull a pint of ale. I don’t need to go on. A waste of money and upsetting to see a good pub run in the ground especially after the tough time this industry has faced. Zero effort put into this pub and looks like it’s just being used as a chav drop in centre drunk mates free for all. AWFUL. Spend your money elsewhere on the high street and leave them to it.

We visited as a family of four. We tried to eat there at lunchtime but they were fully booked. A very helpful barman looked to see if he could fit us in at teatime instead and so we returned later. The pub had good coronavirus precautions in place. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Two of us had chilli, one had lasagne and one had lamb and yorkshire pudding with veg. All the food was tasty and well presented. We will definitely return as we were made to feel very welcome.
A warm and friendly pub with a great atmosphere. Popped in at lunchtime for a drink and got the last free table. This place was busy, table service in place due to covid, but got served straight away A couple of real ales on tap, but with a great selection of all drinks. Would definitely return here, but would book in advance so we could try their food

We had a lovely lunch at The Old Black Swan. We found the pub on TripAdvisor whilst driving through. We had a range of dishes, including soups and sandwiches. All were very tasty. The staff were very pleasant and made us feel very welcome. There is also good COVID-19 guidance in place that made our visit very comfortable.
We met up with friends today for lunch at the Old Black Swan as it was midway between where we live. The range of food was limited, the soup was cold and the veg. with the roast dinners were overcooked and the meal was lukewarm. Can’t recommend this place to eat.
Saw this pub during a wander around Bedale, great location on the market square. Went in for a drink that evening, more of a restaurant than a pub, but friendly staff and decent selection of beers.
Called in for lunch, staff were really friendly and the service was excellent. The food was really nice and the pub had a great atmosphere.

Just had drinks so can't comment on food. Good selection of drinks. Multiple TV's and happy to show multiple games which is useful.
Amazing yet again. Steak pie is fabulous. Staff are wonderful. Great service and would recommend, worth a visit
