The Black Swan Pub
One of the oldest surviving buildings in Pease Pottage, the Black Swan was known as the James King for several years in the 1980s and 90s in honour of one of the founders of the brewers, King and Barnes. When King and Barnes were bought out and closed down, the pub reverted to its original name.
The Black Swan is now owned by the Hall and Woodhouse organisation. Since Hall and Woodhouse closed down The Grapes, the Black Swan has been the only pub in Pease Pottage.
