Black Swan, Pease Pottage


Directions

You want to visit - You have this in

An historic Sussex pub-restaurant, the Black Swan is located at the edge of St Leonards Forest (where according to legend a dragon lives). Convenient for Crawley and Horsham, The Black Swan boasts a large car park, garden and function room and is perfect for lunch, dinner and drinks. Formerly part of the King & Barnes estate, The Black Swan was refurbished as a food oriented pub and re-named The James King. On passing to Hall & Woodhouse the former name of The Black Swan was restored. In earlier times The Black Swan was a popular stopping off point for day trippers being approximately halfway beteween London and Brighton. Apparently travellers were confronted by flower sellers when their coaches stopped. To this day there is a flower shop next to the pub.
