Front-of-House, The Black Swan Oldstead

About Us:

The Black Swan is a Michelin-starred, Michelin green star and 4 AA-rosette restaurant with nine AA 5* bedrooms, nestled in the picturesque hamlet of Oldstead in the North York Moors National Park. Recently awarded TripAdvisor’s best fine-dining restaurant in the UK and fourth best in the world, the Black Swan is dynamic with a truly creative and innovative team, developing new ideas from a constantly refreshed palate of produce. Embracing our farm-to-fork ethos, our menus champion the incredible seasonality of the ingredients grown on our twenty-acre Oldstead farm and two-acre kitchen garden, where Chef Tommy Banks and his family have lived and farmed for generations.

For us at the Black Swan, it’s more than just Michelin-starred food – it’s all about curating an unparalleled guest experience that’s an intimate reflection of our character, our place and our lives. This is, in essence, “Oldstead now” – stylishly grounded in tradition and Yorkshire charm yet cut through with a modern, exuberant creativity and flair. The Black Swan is a reflection of the people behind it – humbly passionate and down-to-earth; a truly exciting and unique place to work.
