What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
The Black Horse offers a warm, country pub atmosphere with generally well-received British fare, particularly Sunday roasts and specific dishes like vegetable lasagne and the belly pork. While many praise the friendly and accommodating staff, some recent reviews express disappointment with limited menu options, pricing, and perceived decline in quality compared to previous years, noting a shift towards a more corporate feel.
"Food, service and atmosphere all 5 ⭐️.
The vegetable lasagne and the biscroff cheesecake were delicious.
Portion size just right, presentation very good.
The atmosphere was that of a country pub, tastefully decorated with hints of modern decor in a country style pub.
Service was brilliant, all in all a positive visit, would definitely return and recommend. Staff including Chris were helpful, cheerful, friendly and professional."

"Enjoyed a great Turkey Christmas Dinner. Food excellent , service excellent & unobtrusive, Upstairs is a Single Lane 9 pin bowling alley - great fun. Prices about the norm."

Spent a couple of hours here for an evening meal and drinks with friends. Menu is decent pub grub, and a big enough selection to keep everyone happy (party of 12).
