"Lovely chilled pub, friendly and knowledgeable staff, tasteful decor and very dog friendly. We booked a table because we were camping nearby. However, the phone number on google is out of date (current owners have been in place since last August 2023). I found the new number in Facebook and had a prompt response on Messenger. They are good ale pub, reasonably priced and have been serving food again for the last 3 months apparently (been a couple of changes in ownership). Sunday roast was excellent served with fresh vegetables at £13.95. Very pleased we kept our reservation after reading a bad review on here"

Quirky pub that makes a nice impression. Stop point for cyclists and walkers coming to this area and having a drink before heading further.

Called in here Friday night with my cousin Paul for a few guiness. Love these old school pubs. Good atmosphere and a nice Guiness. Never had food, so I can't score it.

This place has had different landlords over the years but this lots got it right. A nice little pub. Dog and child friendly not tried the food yet but will soon. Definitely worth a visit

Called at The Old Black Swan, Crich, we had not been here before. Had pie, chips, veg and gravy and panini and salad and chips, together with a really nice beer. Delicious. All the staff were very friendly. Well worth a visit. If we hadn’t been driving we’d have stayed for another drink! Worth noting the pies are delicious and locally sourced, as is the bread. Sorry no photos to post just clean plates.

Well, what can I say other than this is my favourite pub. Me, My partner and dog were staying in a lovely Air BnB in the village, and I don't think we had one day where we did not visit the pub for a drink. The staff was so friendly, especially the landlady Emma. Extremely dog friendly, and I couldn't thank them or the locals anymore for their warm hospitality. By the end of our holiday, I felt like one of the locals. Highly recommend a visit to this pub when visiting this beautiful village.

"we enjoyed another very pleasant dinner at the Dog’ in pentrich recently. it is a very civilized but relaxed escaping area, and the type of place where people are miles for, for the culinary experience traveling and with good ground. eating is good. the dining room is spacious, contemporary and beautifully furnished with a relaxed ambiente. also the adjacent bar area is very cozy and cozy. we were warmly welcomed and immediately shown on our table. the service was attentive and pleasant, without being overlaid or intrusive. our meals were very pleasant and we enjoyed the selection of things we had (start, head and dessert). However, it seemed to be some unconsistencies with a portion size. with the appetizers the leek and the potato portion was very small a piece laek about two centimeters long filled with cheese and in a sea of sauce to convey the grasp of “more”. the crispy szechuan cauliflower and aubergine, on the other hand, contained large parts of the two components of the teller. similar to the net, the green thai chicken contained three very large portions of huh in different shapes: a large chicken breast as the main component of the Thai chicken shell, accompanied by a huge serving of shredded chicken in rice, and a huge Bao beer filled with a large piece of baked chicken. while the various components were delicious, it was just chicken overload, almost like three main dishes as one, and much too much. the same applies to the puddings we have chosen. the dog inn trifle was a huge bowl with lemon-rossel sponge, with white chocolate-creuzard, and celestial gel and sorbet. the yorkshire rhubarb cheesecake, on the other hand, was a very small roll of cheesecake with a puppy game of rhubarb sorbet and a few pieces of poached rhubarb. our meals were certainly delicious, and we enjoyed them. the hanger steak was cooked nicely after a discussion about it; it was clearly stated on the menu that the hanger steak was ‘Served ‘Pink or well Done’, but we were informed that it could not be ordered well. which condition is then on the menu? the dog is worth looking. it is in the beautiful and historical village pentrich, on the b1016 between the towns ripley and alfreton in derbyshire. we're coming back."
