Nestling in the picturesque North Downs it’s hard to believe that Maidstone is only a stones throw away from Thurnam’s Black Horse Inn. Looking from the outside like the most traditional pub in Britain – white washed, tile hung, sash windowed, sign swinging in the breeze – inside will come as no great shock. In winter you’ll find a roaring fire in the imposing brick fireplace, dried hops drape from the ceiling and antiquey dark wood is in abundance. In summer diners can head outside to a paradise of shadey pergolas, ponds and green lawn or eat in the conservatory. Homegrown produce is key in a sophisticated menu which combines traditionalism with contemporary dining with impressive results.

a cold windy day our table was right by an open window causing the table and seating to be covered in mess from the overhead hops.we shut the window and cleared the table ourselves.at least 3 of our party wanted to order the steak pudding but it wasn't available.No ambiance in that area of The black Horse.I have eaten there before but in a different area and had a better experience

Very busy lovely old pub. Food was good. Staff didn’t engage with us at all. We were pretty much left alone. Did have a vegan pudding option which I appreciated.
