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.

We have stayed at a lot of places over the years - with and without dogs but this one has topped the lot. The situation is ideal with plenty of country walks, spacious 'chalet' type accommodation with easy access to the outside. The food is to die for and nothing was too much trouble for the lovely staff. We had an early morning start on the Saturday and when we said that we would have to miss breakfast we were offered hot sandwiches to collect and take with us. They were ready on time and were delicious. This lovely traditional pub is truly dog and people friendly and we will definitely be back. Fab-u-lous!

Slightly disappointed that you’d run out of Sunday roasts , however we had the duck and the Kentish braised beef and both dishes were lovely. Staff were very polite and helpful too.

Excellent lunch. Food was very good. Service was efficient and staff were very attentive and served with a smile although very busy. Only one slight comment was the time the initial drinks took to arrive but considering how busy they were and one bar staff short this could be forgiven.

We arrived 15 minutes early and were shown straight to our table. We ordered drinks. But waited ages for them to be delivered. The hostess did not speak English clearly but was pleasant. Again waited for the menu. Having ordered the starters these ok. Had to chase to get main course served. We were not asked if we needed any further drinks. Decided not to have pudding. Left very disappointed in quality of main course and very poor service. Did not leave a tip. Previous visits were much better. Vegetables were undercooked. Broccoli very hard. Roast potatoes not crispy and not cooked through.
