The emphasis at the Black Horse is on quality food, all locally sourced, from high quality suppliers, the meat in fact being delivered from a butcher only a mile down the road. The theme for the food is varied, an excellent selection of traditional English dishes in keeping with the traditional countryside location of the Inn. The restaurant also offers an exciting selection of a la carter dishes and regularly changing specials, to keep the offering fresh and varied. The restaurant menu will really get your tastebuds going, and all of the dishes are lovingly prepared onsite by our talented brigade of trained chefs.

An 18th Century Inn, the Black Horse Inn has been a refuge, providing a welcome rest, food and sustenance, and more importantly watering weary travellers for hundreds of years. The selection of ale and wine is second to none, and testament to many years of experience providing excellent hospitality.

The ale and wine offering at the Black Horse, has a similar ethos to the food. To use locally sourced suppliers, Brewers and wineries to provide a wide and varied selection of products that are able to stand up against more mainstream competitors.

Right from the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome. The food was as always delicious and the service was equally good.

My wife and I stayed at The Black Horse Inn, for a night, while we visited her parents for the first time in 18 months due to Covid. This is a gorgeous old Inn and great value. The food was superb and really good quality. the range of drinks in the bar will suit anyone with a great range of ales or gins on offer. The chalet style accomodation is pretty basic and the walls are thin, but was very clean. When one only uses the room for sleeping, this is perfectly fine. Dogs are acccepted in the accomodation and pub so we were able to take our cockapoo with us. All the staff were fantastic, the chap during the day and evening on Thursday 27th worked very hard. We had a lovely couple of hours in the beer garden on the Thursday afternoon, having a couple of drinks in the sun. The pub was busy on the Thursday evening so booking is definitely recommended for a meal. One could tell the pub was understaffed on the Thursday but this is to be expected after lockdown. Yes we had to wait a while for our meal but so what?! :-) We enjoyed chatting to my wife's sister and nephew who popped up from Ashford, to see us. We weren;t going anywhere, wanting to spend the evening in the pub and anyway, the food was worth the wait. Will I be back next time we visit my wife's mum and dad? Absolutely! Hopefully this will be in July!
