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.

Service was slow. Waitress/bar staff served an alcoholic cocktail instead of the soft drink we ordered and when we questioned the bill, they blamed us for not noticing! Good job the person it was served to wasn’t a recovering alcoholic! Very poor service in the restaurant- had to wait ages for food between courses. The restaurant waitress was lovely and overworked!

Our server was really lovely, friendly and chatty and the food was sublime!! The pork tenderloin special with beetroot risotto was sensational, props to the chef. I would always recommend The Black Horse to anyone.

Requesting a drink on first arriving it took ten minutes to be served a sherry. The waiters were busy laying up tables (at 1800) and our orders were taken after 15 minutes. Not what we have experienced in the past. After getting more clients the service was back to normal. I only noticed (after arriving home) that we were charged for TWO sherry's when in fact we only requested - and were served - ONE (I should have checked the bill) Over all we were disappointed but the food was as good as ever. It was just a one off night.
