Situated just south of the North York Moors National Park on the A170 midway between Helmsley and Pickering the town of Kirkbymoorside is in a beautiful location, being so near to the stunning scenery of the moorlands. The Black Swan sits at the edge of the main through road amongst the local amenities.

Pub Layout

The pub is separated into two trading areas around a central bar servery. To the left of the main front door is a lounge bar/dining area and to the right a bar room with pool table, open fire and TV.  Both areas are easily accessible from the catering kitchen and prep area, with access through the rear of the pub to an outdoor seating area.

The Black Swan is a traditional style locals pub at the heart of this small market town. The planned investment for the trading areas of the pub will upgrade the catering kitchen and meet the demand of the locals and visitors to this beautiful village. We are anticipating an approximate 70:30 wet/dry trading split, with a strong mid-market food and drink offer alongside pub games, live sports coverage and a regular entertainment programme.
