📣Planned Holiday Closure 📣

We’re taking a little break!

The Back Kitchen will be closed at the end of service on Tuesday 1st September, and we’ll be re-opening on Friday 11th September.

It’s a proper holiday for all of us — a chance to switch off, reset, recharge and come back ready to feed you all again!

And there may or may not be a massive shindig up the road which may or may not have inspired us to close...

Which I may or may not be attending… 💃💃💃💃

As I may or may not do every year.

See you all when we’re back!

Friday 11th September — we’re back!

See you Saturday!

REMEMBER WHEN YOU COULD BUY A SARNIE OVER THE BAR?

Then, somewhere along the way… it just stopped!

Well guess what?!

The minions at The Back Kitchen have been working hard behind the scenes to bring this nostalgic little moment back!

So now you can have yourself a proper homemade sarnie, a pickled egg, a cheeky bag of crisps AND a pint.

Honestly… what more could you want?

We’ve got all the good things happening here at The Black Swan.

Now we need your help!

What sarnie fillings do YOU want to see on the bar?

Classic cheese & onion?
Ham & mustard?
Tuna mayo?
Egg mayo?
Something a bit more adventurous?

Give us your suggestions in the comments! 👇

And yes… we’re using James Ford & Son rolls because we’re not messing about.
