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.

Hello, food and service was lovely, however we thought it all looked a bit tired, table was scratched and fire place needed a good clean . Toilets need complete refurbishment, taps were broken.

The food was exceptional as always but on this occasion was let down by how slow service was! I don’t believe it was the girls fault as there didn’t appear to be enough staff on at the time. Also we were with an elderly lady with limited mobility who was made to walk down a lot of stairs, Instead of being given an option of sitting nearer the entry/exit. we were not given a choice. Also we were sat near very loud customers who were just enjoying themselves but again not given the choice of somewhere quieter when there was ample sitting throughout. So unfortunately I couldn’t give you the best review on this occasion. Hopefully we will be back and things will be back to your normal standard

Strange menu. Kids chicken nuggets were not good quality. Pan fried chicken dish was too salty and didn't come with vegetables except potatoes. Butternut squash was delicious with the sauces, but could have come with something extra (fries? Mushrooms?) Didn't enjoy music - one that repeated a line over and over was particularly annoying. Didn't want to stay longer and order dessert because the music

We really enjoyed all aspects of the meal and restaurant except for the disappointing customer service we received from one of the waitresses. She paid a lot of attention to a nearby table of 2 men. One issue we had was her just taking the menu from us to pass to the men when they wanted to order something. She took it without saying a word! We were still waiting for someone to take our food order at the time so obviously still needed it. To be fair to her she did return the menu after she’d taken their order. However, she was so engrossed in chatting with the gentlemen that she just passed the menu back to us to take out of her hand whilst she still had her back to us! Again she didn’t say a word or even look at us! We found it really disrespectful and rude. In addition to this when our mains arrived, she asked if we’d like any sauces and before I’d finished asking for some ketchup she turned her back on us to carry on chatting to the men next to us! We were quite gob smacked! I had to ask another waitress for sauce instead. This is the 3rd time I’ve come here and the service has previously been of a high standard but this experience was really disappointing and left us feeling invisible and not very valued. It’s made me think twice about returning unfortunately which is a shame because the ambience and food have always been outstanding.
