   Great food and service was really helpful and friendly. Enjoy the atmosphere here and appreciate that I can bring my well behaved dog to the bar area.

   We visit the Black Horse about once a year as it is a great midway point between us in London and friends from the midlands. The food and service never disappoint. I had the buffalo chicken wings to start which were a great sized portion and lovely and spicy. Between us we had a range of burgers and a couple of kids meals, all were delicious. We look forward as always to our next visit.

   Excellent Sunday roast in a cosy pub. We sat at the bar side, which has a good ambience and enjoyed a selection of starters and a delicious roast beef topped off by a yummy apple, fig and plum crumble. Just what was needed at the end of a chilly day

   Very poor service - our waitress didn’t seem to know if she was coming or going. Some of the food came out cold. Won’t be going back.

   Lighting could be better if I’m being totally honest. Sorry.

   New Years evening dinner with friends. Poor everything !! Black Horse had made absolutely no effort whatsoever. We didn't feel welcome at all. Atmosphere was zero. It used to be such a nice old fashioned pub buzzing with people. Now nothing !!!

    Notified venue of one guest having vegan requirements, but there were no options when we visited. Was served plain unseasoned vegetables, chips and bone dry Linda McCartney sausages with no sauce or gravy. Service was incredibly slow in spite of the dining area being almost empty. Even when telling staff the sausages were inedible, no discount was offered. Very disappointed in what was meant to be a Christmas lunch.
