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.

Arrived at the end of a busy day for the pub. Welcome was good but were told that the Sunday roast options were v limited as they had sold out. Overall food was slow to arrive. Service was poor to start with as I think the staff were tired and then changed over/went home. The staff at the end of the day were better apart from one who was quite rude. Sadly this is our second visit in 10 years after saying that would not go back and we decided to try again after all that time. Once again, probably won’t return.

The service was slow, I do appreciate the restaurant was busy. When our roasts arrived we waited 15 after until the vegetables arrived, by this time it was cold. I visit regularly and bought my parents for the first time as they are visiting from Devon, I was disappointed with this visit.

the roast dinner was best i have had, however the mussels were very small, hardly any sauce which was disappointing :( I ordered the rhubarb and ginger panacotta and it was tasteless so they took it off the final bill. Service was brilliant the surroundings are lovely.

For 4 of us we struggled to find something we wanted on the menu. Then one of the belly of pork was served wrapped in plastic, we are still shocked! The server was very apologetic but this could have been serious and has made us question if the food is really fresh.

Really poor service got forgotten about for a bigger table as just the 2 of us. Mussels were over cooked and the bigger table received a lot more attention than we did such as being given Parmesan for the pasta dish which we were not even offered and a different choice of soup. We had to wait 40 minutes for dessert menus which they were going to bring us so we had to ask again when someone finally bothered to notice us. We weren’t offered coffees at the end unlike the bigger table…. Received a discount on our bill for the bad service but didn’t really make up for the fact it was a night out for my husbands birthday.

Fantastic. From making my booking with Georgia, to paying the bill was first class. Only down side was I left it too late to book a room! Wife loved it as you serve dessert wine. Can't wait to go back.
