Always love visiting. Walk dog, pie (Steak and ale recommended) and pint as my reward. Dog friendly of course and pretty good for people too. Nicely run. Well worth a visit, must book in evening.

Overall a great dining experience for us, a party of 12 for Sunday lunch. We did have to pre order, which we hadn't expected, but they were very accommodating about those in our party who hadn't done so. Most of us went for the roast dinners, which were huge ! The vegetables were plentiful and cooked to perfection, which can be very difficult to achieve. The potatoes, gravy and yorkshires were fine too. The pork and beef were very good but the turkey was rather dry. The spicy bean burger, pie of the day and fish and chips were also good, but nothing special. We also all enjoyed our starters, especially the goats cheese parcels. The reduction in our appreciation came with the Crab Linguine, which was tasteless and distinctly lacking in actual crab. Both diners who had this were very disappointed. There was a good choice of drinks including a very tasty rioja and London Pride for the beer drinkers. Service from our waitress was very friendly and she worked hard to meet all our needs. We would come again, especially if there was more choice on the menu for non meat eaters.

I was recommended this pub for its food. Sadly the standard for extremely poor. The tables were still dirty. There was food all over the floor. The cutlery wasn’t clean. The menus had stains on them. We were a party of 7. The mains all came out staggered with 15 mins between each of the plates coming out. My son was excited to try the chicken burger, and after waiting the longest- was seriously disappointed as his burger was burnt and black on the outside. We requested for it to be changed to a different meal instead as this put him off the burger entirely, after waiting an additional 15 mins (the rest of the table has finished their food at this point) the lady brought out the old chicken burger claiming the chef had cut it in half and the middle part was fine to eat, however to not eat the edges! We then told her we still wanted him to be brought out a different main. They finally brought out a fish and chips which we noticed was intentionally small portioned. We left thinking to ourselves we would never return and it had left such a bitter taste in our mouths I felt to share this terrible experience with others to warn them.

Came here recently for a drink to finish off our day. A lovely cosy pub with a fun atmosphere, we sat in the bar area and enjoyed our drinks. We didn't even need to go to the bar as a member of staff came to us, she even got us a high chair and didn't charge us for a mug of milk for our little one. Everyone was so friendly and got on so well. We even had a wonderful chat with the headchef who seemed absolutely lovely, after talking to him, I can't wait to return for a lovely meal.(in thinking steak) I also love where it's situated, it feels like your in the middle of nowhere, massive common all around with a road way leading up to the pub.

We sat in the covid constructed area, Heating pods are provided but does not heat under tables which is very cold. Dropped jumper on floor, picked it up with wet mud marks due to water running below table. Spilt water on table, after wiping it the tissues were very dirty. Also Strong smell of bins. Some food was lovely, some very poor. The atmosphere is cheerful, but beyond that it weakens. This pub is popular and should not be avoided , but management please apply improvements .

Today we went to this pub for Sunday lunch! There was 16 of us in total with 2 children under 7, we arrived to a very welcoming and friendly face who thankfully served us all day! She was beaming from ear to ear despite the freezing cold weather… we were seated in a lovely location and offered blankets and cushions and perfectly situated heaters surrounding our table. Our wonderful waitress who I think was called Sophie then offered us menus and drinks and checked for allergy’s before ordering (which we had) and that’s something that is often is forgotten in restaurants. Our meals came in a timely manner all correct including drinks despite the large table! Kids came out in perfect timing also! Food was bloody delicious we had a combo of roasts and fish and chips, and a number of sides, and then desserts everything was spot on! We couldn’t have been looked after anymore perfectly! This waitress seemed to be alone apart from a couple of young lads coming in and out to help with drinks, again very polite. But she in particular was very busy and it didn’t faze her she remained calm and professional and made our afternoon delightful! She smiled the entire time and nothing was too much! Our bill came to around £43 a head which we thought was very reasonable, it was superb! 10/10 we will be back. Thank you Black horse for making our family Christmas get together so great!

We visited today and it was not particularly busy. Ordered coffee but machine not working. Ordered three roast dinners sent two back as barely warm. Ask for Apple sauce none available and the meat was very fatty. We were so disappointed as we're meeting friends and driven nearly 100 miles. We met there last year and the food was excellent, we will not be going back.

The service was awful, and to be honest has been deteriorating on every visit for some time. On this occasion our reserved table was not set when we arrived. We asked for a child's menu and it took 20 minutes to locate one. Drinks took an age to arrive.  cutlery/serviettes were only fetched once our food had already arrived, and the waiter had to wrap each set as there were none pre-prepared, all the while our food was getting cold. We ordered more drinks and when they hadn't arrived after some time we chased them up, to be told there were issues with the till so couldn't be put through; any barman worth their salt knows you revert to pen and paper when the till is down. It seemed there was no experienced staff working to oversee things, only youngsters. The food was lovely however, so at least the kitchen is still of a good standard. We're now exploring other pubs in the area, as £20+ roasts should come with a service to match.

Management doesn’t seem to care about these reviews as I can see a number of people have been disappointed but there is no reply. We went for drinks but wanted a portion of chips for a hungry child. Was told no can do by 12 year olds behind the bar, who literally didn’t care. Clearly for them as long as they were paid at the end of their shift there was no customer service. The bar was covered in dirty glasses. There were unclean tables. I won’t be going there again and I wouldn’t recommend

I visited the White Horse on August 27th with my husband, son and daughter in law, and two small grandchildren. We sat outside and the everything food wise was fine, my only criticism being that my three year old grandaughters macaroni cheese arrived in a dish so hot that she burned her fingers. As this was a choice from the children's menu it was obvious who it was for and the food should have arrived in a cool bowl or at the very least some warning should have been given. When I went to pay for the meal I was never shown the bill or given a receipt although I asked for one. Instead I was told that if I left my email address one would be sent to me. It hasn't been in spite of an email sent by me to the pub asking for it. I loved so much about the White Horse and would certainly return there but possibly not for a meal.

We like this pub and on the whole the quality of the food is good BUT we went last night for a 7pm booking, staff were just arriving when the menus came we were told of all the items they didn’t have. There were some alternatives and only 1 steak left! personally with this level of change I would have reprinted the menus, I felt sorry for the server as a couple of groups arrived after us and she was getting some robust feedback on the lack of availability, although done with some humour at 7.30 it was going to be a long night! There was also no drinks menu available, we ordered 2 cocktails, based on the server telling us what they did to only have one brought to the table as they had run out of the other one We live locally and the pub is very convenient for us but the menu and availability let’s them down which is a shame as the food it usually good and well presented.

Great pub, excellent food. We dined in the Vineyard (heated and covered). Service was fine, prompt and friendly. The roast beef was delicious, well cooked, with lovely roast potatoes, Yorkie and veggies. Perhaps some gravy on the side would be nice. Everything was fresh and flavorful. 1 star lost on service due to the pub refusing to take cash; card transactions only. C'mon, we're post-Covid. It's okay to touch money again. Sure, it's convenient to take card only, but cash is still legal in the UK and should be accepted in a pub. As a visitor from overseas, I don't necessarily want to use my bank card with associated currency conversion fees when I have ample local currency available.

Have been here maybe 3 times over last couple of years. Was pretty impressed the first time. There were several vegan choices , the cabins were a good idea at Covid time. Latest visit - not so impressed..We sat in a large structure at the side of the main building which , frankly , is tackily decorated. At one point someone was strimming right outside. Our vegan cauliflower steaks were really just one slice on top of a bit of mashed squash with some salad. Not great for £16 each. We had to have a snack at home later. Apparently , " mash " was off but chips were available. This leads me to think that the chips come ready packaged & how hard is it to go & get some potatoes & make mash? Something I have encountered in other pubs. Poor value on this occasion.

Been meaning to leave a review for a very long time, however managed to forget..probably due to the fantastic friendly service we always receive from the team. We are always welcomed with open arms and the team bend over backwards to accommodate us. I must shout out the whole team… they’re all amazing… however, Becks has served us since we first started coming here, since moving in locally, before Jason the Head Chef joined, she was the main reason for our return. Jason joined, the food has been out of this world… I would recommend the roasts - they’re delicious! The beef is served pink and the vegetables are cooked perfectly and well seasoned. It’s always a pleasure coming to visit The Black Horse and we cannot recommend it enough. Final shout out to Becks, Jason… our favourites… and of course Harry, Layla, Ben, Jess, Jack and Ollie. ❤️❤️❤️

Food was good but the service was awful. We made two big separate orders for the same table and they missed one item in each order. We asked multiple times the staff and we were completely ignored. Everyone finished all the food and two persons still missing. They kept coming to clean the table and we kept asking for the two items, they kept saying it was coming. After 50mins we had to go and find the manager which says that the cook missed the ticket but the items were coming in 5mins, we had to chase continuously and only after 15mins we finally got the food.

What’s happened? Used to be an amazing pub with great service and fabulous food. However, upon our visit on Saturday the service was shocking from start to finish, (young lady with brown hair was trying her best). The most rubbery calamari and worst fish and chips ive ever had, lots of frozen food being heated up I predict. Pork belly was 80% fat, missed off half our drinks as simply were too unorganised to realise. Sat in one of the outdoor pods, but we were just forgotten. Will not be returning and do not recommend anyone to go unless these issues are addressed.

This was probably the worst pub lunch that I've had for a long time. Six of us had booked a table well ahead. We only had two courses and the service was so slow that we were there for more than three hours. The only excuse made was that there was only one chef there and he was new. That was no our problem of course. Two vegetarians ordered cauliflower "steaks" that were virtually raw, with a few burnt edges on top. There seemed to be little attempt made to check on how our meals were after they were served. To be fair, we were not charged for the cauliflower meals or for our desserts, but I would definitely not go there again.

Booked one of the huts outside. The service was very slow and It wasn’t even busy. Seemed like staff was serving everyone inside and forgot about us outside. Took 35 mins after seated to have food order taken and 1 hour to receive the food after the order was taken. A lot of what we ordered they didn’t have and They didn’t inform us when seated. The food served to us was cold like it had been sat on the side for ages. Wasn’t brilliant. They hadn’t cancelled the food we didn’t end up having due to them having run out so that was on the bill. Had to get those all taken off. Overall, stupidly slow service considering it wasn’t busy at all and food isn’t that great.

I've been here a couple of times prior and came along with my family a week ago to celebrate my mum. It was a Saturday lunch and the place was pretty quiet in the vinyard (we were in the igloo😄) However, we waited ages for our food to come. This was unlike my previous experience there. We wondered why service was so slow, till Sean, the lovely new chef took time to come speak with us and apologized for delay, explaining he had just taken over from the chef who had quit without notice the previous day. All the same, food was lovely considering the pressure and unplanned circumstances and the lovely young lady who waited on us (I think her name may be Jackie) was really patient in taking our large order (9 of us). We were compensated with desserts 😄. We will return again.

Was at the Black horse today, been advised of how good the roasts were. Tried today for the first time , was Mother’s Day and my partner Lyndsay’s birthday. They also had a singer Big Mumma Funk . Honestly the best roast out I have ever had , there was 5 of us and we were all in agreement. The singer was also very good , probably won’t be there every time but was Mother’s Day and made it a bit more special, can’t wait for next visit . Outside pods / dome seating also . Fantastic in March and can imagine would be superb summer venue 👍

Whilst the venue is very cozy and the staff are friendly, it appeared to be that we were purposely swindled. We came in for dinner with two children and we weren’t presented with children’s menus. Our kids ate adult portions of bangers and mash and a basic pasta that was also quite the sized large bowl. Unbeknownst to us both plates were listed on the children’s menus for £6.50 per serving but again we weren’t made aware of the children’s menu. My wife had the buffalo chicken sandwich and there was nothing buffalo 🦬 about it. No dressing other than ketchup on the side. I went for the steak and ale pie with horseradish?? There wasn’t a trace of 🐎 radish. And (get this) my meal was a kids size portion and it tasted like it just came out of the freezer; it reminded me of a Ramsey Gordon’s kitchen nightmares episode. Being that it was Valentine’s Day I refrained from making a comment about menu mistakes and the bland food. I was close to expressing my dissatisfaction because the bill was just over £80.00 without the surcharge. It’s also worth mentioning, I enjoyed a single pint of beer, and just tap water for the table. So we didn’t go crazy with drinks or juices. Soup was very tasty! The wings smelled amazing and they happened to come with blue cheese dressing which would have made sense to include on the buffalo sandwich. I didn’t order them because we were told that the serving size is ~ 4 wings. When they were served to the table next to us, there would atleast 6 maybe 8. It broke our bank but we didn’t want the black horse to be the dark knight and break the hearts 💔 of their other hopeful cupids. Sorry guys, I’m in the hospitality industry and I know how much work it takes to run a restaurant from kitchen to the front of the house, so usually I’m easier on the reviews when it comes to my dining experiences.

They got three orders wrong in a row. Service extremely slow. Cocktails did not taste great. Dessert was okay though.

Lovely pub for food with outdoor huts and a warmer outdoor, enclosed seating area. We managed to get a hut in the enclosed area which helped contain the children!

Nice large country pub/restaurant. We went in a Sunday and the menu has some nice roasts on it. Deserts were nice too and the service came with a smile. If you’re with a group, book ahead and ask for the ‘iglo’, max 8. It gets quite busy in the weekends and parking is a bit of a challenge.

Outside was closed due to weather but the pub was fully booked so they allowed us to eat in one of the heated huts, excellent service as always

It was all amazing, but the food took a “while” to come - 2hours 🤷‍♂️ - it was offered complimentary deserts

This was my second time eating at the venue with 4 other friends. The previous time being in April ‘23. Sadly today, the main course, Christmas Dinner (£16) was served up cold with the exception of a couple of roast potatoes that were warm, but not hot. My meal was not the only one cold. The waitress was informed and returned the meal for it to be heated in the microwave! When it returned it was warmer but the microwaving had caused the Yorkshire Pudding to become soft, not crispy and the turkey had become very chewy. Disappointed with main course. I expected better…… at least hot when served! High prices, but poor quality.

New decoration has taken away the attraction of this pub. Too much emphasis on food. Some people like me want to walk my dog and have a pint.

Great pub. Perfect after a dog walk. Small inside, but lots of heated booths outside too. Lovely food. I've had sausages and mash, and salmon here before. Salmon was a highlight as it was flavoured so well. Perhaps a tad pricier than the pubs nearby, but not by much.

Expensive for what you get, elsewhere for the same price you at least get crisps and salad with your sandwiches. They also cleared my coffee before I had finished it.

Thanks to recommendation by Ivett the Manager at The Glasshouse bar at The Grove I booked a table for my best friend from university and myself for dinner last Saturday. The decor, service and food was quite superb. The quality justified the price. My only slight criticism was that I did find the food just a bit too salty. My friend thought it was the best Indian meal he has had and I agree.
