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.

I know you were busy, but we waited over an hour for our main course . Had the roast, the lamb was not good, gristly and chewy, I took mine home for our dog. The staff were lovely, and I would come again, but eat off the main menu

We were located in the garden room, unfortunately a lot of screaming children which made listening to conversation difficult, however appreciate how hard it is for parents too. Service was very slow, waited 45mins for starter order to be taken. Food great would visit again.

Lovely food and service. Did speak to duty manager on the day 14/11/21 about a group with a boxer dog of which the party in question couldn't control and are regulars at the pub. I have been visiting the Black Horse for over 15 years and have never experienced such an unruly dog of which no correction was given by the owners in fact they thought it was funny there untrained dog was spoiler for everyone else upstairs! In fact I could see some people quite frightened by the experience!I do have a very well behave German Shepherd of which to her credit and may i add well trained didn't get involved as I distracted her away from the situation. I do appreciate this party might contribute financially on a regular basis to your profits but feedback from some regulars in your pub tells me this is not a one off. I am assuming hopefully that the feedback I gave your duty manager you will be addressing this issue with this party? I always walk into a pub and ask are you dog friendly? When the reply is yes I expect the dogs to be friendly dogs!I also expect dogs barking at each other from time to time but this dog imparticular wanted to fight! I truly hope you don't find this offensive as I often over the years used and stayed In your astablishment and have truly enjoyed the experience! I will however still use your pub as it is a lovely place to stay/visit after a nice walk. I truly hope you will address this issue as it truly for me spoilt what could of been a lovely day out.

We chose the Black Horse for a family birthday celebration as we had dined there before and remembered it being good. We weren’t disappointed. The food was lovely and the service was excellent. We will return again soon.
