Receiving a magnificent
make over as well as complete overhaul on all fronts, the former Gweek Inn has
had some VIP treatment to transform it into one of the top destination pubs in
Cornwall.
Reverting to its former
name, the Black Swan, new landlords Andrew and Beverley Hay are keen to infuse
some fresh life and energy into the village pub and raise quality standards to
match their other award-winning popular pub – the White Hart in Ludgvan.
With an array of
exciting plans in place to help the business grow, the enterprising couple have
instigated a quiz and 2-for-1 fish and chips on a Wednesday night, which has
already proved a great success - this will start again in September – booking
required.
In addition, they are
busy orchestrating an Ale, Cider and Mussel festival for the Autumn, which will
be followed by various themed food nights throughout the winter, to ensure there
is always a great reason to return.
Currently under refurbishment, the Black Swan accommodation
will provide a great pub to stay for a short break with its stunning scenery as
it sits on the edge of the Helford River next to the Seal Sanctuary. The work
includes 4 new en-suite letting rooms and a self-contained let in the barn,
which will provide ambient, contemporary accommodation this, will all be ready
from the end of July.
Beverley and Andrew are
aiming to create an inviting, traditional pub that houses great real ales and
serves local food cooked to a supremely high standard. Boasting a courtyard
area, beer garden and large car park, guests can eat in the bar area or separate
dining area – which can also be hired for private functions.
Renowned for their own
successful drinks brand, Gireau –
Beverley and Andrew have supplied the US markets as well as sponsoring a string
of parties for the fashion elite and VIP’s at the recent Edinburgh Fringe, and
more recently sponsoring the student surf tour, and Ludgvan cricket club who
play in division one and five in Cornwall’s cricket leagues. As well as a
premium vodka, gin and Scotch whisky, cognacs, and a superb herbal liquor
called’ Loaded Plus’ the range also includes Pirate’s Potion – an original
local-brewed Cornish scrumpy, and two real ales named after their rather
infamous resident dog, Hamish, and Hamish Gold, so you will definitely find
something different and unique to try!
Dedicated to customer
service, they have recently scooped the coveted Cask Marque Quality Service
Award at the White Hart, and will be applying the same commitment to renovating
and running the Black Swan.
Beverley says: “We are
thrilled to be involved in this exciting new project to re-forge a sense of
community while providing a quality, destination pub that offers fantastic
facilities, food and drink at a wonderful location in Cornwall.”
