The main course dishes will also incorporate a chocolate-theme and may include dishes like white chocolate risotto served with parmesan, seared scallops and caviar, or pan fried venison, with beetroot, parsnips, bitter chocolate and venison jus.
The Black Swan Hotel is famed for its mouth-watering desserts and has its own in-house patisserie within the Black Sawn tearoom.
