Only dissapiontment was being seated in dog area we weren’t informed of this Spent a lot of time with dog jumping up the back of my chair quite annoying But everything else good

The food was lovely, as always but a couple of other points: we were left waiting ages to order our first drinks after having asked for 2 mins because we were asked about drinks the moment we arrived at the table. A group of 9 people were together but split into two tables near us and were so loud we couldn’t hear our own conversation so by the time it got to dessert we asked to be moved (which we were and fortunately it was much quieter in the bar). The area we sat in (the conservatory had just as many tables as always and no open windows). We had our starters and were later given free bread and oils because there was a long wait for mains due to there being one chef less than there should have been. I really love the Black Horse (and got married here) but don’t think I will be rushing back, sadly. This was disappointing as it was my birthday and there were a catalogue of things as listed above.

Unfortunately my wife and I had the ribeye steak,it was nearly impossible to cut through it with a steak knife,full of gristle and sinew. The fries were full if black bits. The service staff and cleanliness of the rooms were excellent. Such a shame with the food as everything else was great.
