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.

The young man serving us most of the time was charming. However we waited 45 minutes for our food to come and then another long wait for our pudding to come. Then another long wait for our coffee to arrive. We only had two courses and coffee and were in the pub for two and a half hours. I assume the holdups were due to the kitchen problems?

Seated quickly but then had to wait 35 minutes to get drinks to our table and that was after chasing them up with the waitress who took the order. I did find the steak prices a bit rich for a 7 Oz sirloin.

Food is always lovely but the service has gotten worse. We felt forgotten at our table and had to keep getting up to get the waitress. By the end of the meal we walked to the front to pay rather than waiting for the bill. This was an anniversary meal and a friend had requested and paid for a glass of champagne for the table upon arrival, but when my friend asked me about it I confirmed that we didn’t receive any champagne and that she ought to call up and let them know. It’s a shame as it’s such a nice place and the food is great, but the service needs improvement.
