Stood waiting at the bar for around 20 minutes waiting to get a drink. Left before I could be bothered to actually get served. A 45 minute wait on food was presented but a chalk board after 1 table had ordered. Absolute joke. Such a shame as used to be a lovely pub.

We went in to watch the football on TNT as advertised, with the game at 1-1 and in the last 5 minutes the TV was changed to rugby. When I tried to explain that the rugby hadn't even started I was told that some people wanted to watch the rugby so they wouldn't change it back. When I complained I was told that I was shouting and that I shouldn't talk to a young lady like that, I wasn't shouting and explained that if she is in that industry she has to deal with complaints. I will not be going there again!

Went last night and despite being extremely busy the bar team ensured our whole group could get food. This was about 8.30 on a Friday night so very grateful. Food was great good sized portions. Definitely recommend this pub 👍

We are regulars at The Black Horse The pub was full and the staff were working tirelessly. When we said we would like food,they made sure our order was taken and served quickly despite the kitchen being so busy. Hannah and Caitlin made sure w e had everything we needed and looked after us brilliantly,as usual .

Visited the pub today. We were not told when ordering drinks and starting a tab that they were not serving food. Had we been told we would have gone somewhere else to eat, but now we have to wait here to finish the drinks we ordered before we can go somewhere else. You should inform customers when they come in if the kitchen is closed, especially if starting a tab as it should be clear that person is probably going to order food.

The atmosphere in this pub was unexpectedly one of the most cosy and relaxing places I've been to in a long time. We were well looked after by Hannah who was great at making sure we had everything we needed and very skillfully kept the entire place spotlessly clean. The food quality could've been a little fresher, but was excellent value for money and really hit the Sunday roast spot. It seemed to be a space for everyone, whether families, couples or just on your own, which was really lovely.

We popped into The Black Horse after a long day at Blenheim Palace. It was busy because England were playing South Africa in rugby. On entering, we asked the manager if there was a table for 2, she found us one with no problem at all. We were told there would be a half hour wait for food, but it arrived within 20 minutes, and when it did, it was delicious. A big thank you to the staff, from us both

The pub is OK but is very TV/Sports orientated and was full of young blokes watching football. From what I saw the food portions looked to be generous which is probably so many over-weight women go there. The prices of the drinks was fair.

Staff were very friendly and we were served quickly. When the food arrived it was hot and of good quality and portion size. We had items off the main menu rather than Sunday roast. Staff checked to see everything was ok with the meal and asked if we needed anything else. Would happily recommend to anyone.

Visiting from the US, we met an older gentleman on the bus and he recommended the Black Horse. The staff was very friendly, I had the chicken shawarma on flatbread, the chick was so moist it was really really good. The big plus was they gave us a good amount of ice. 😆 The atmosphere felt like home and the price was perfect. Only came to $28 for both me and my husband’s meals. He had the meat and ale pie that was pipping hot.

Stopped off at the black horse for a quick bite to eat. We all had the roast beef which was delicious especially considering the price. Even though the staff were busy, they offered us excellent service. Before we’d even asked, they brought us some extra gravy to the table. Would definitely recommend and will be visiting there again soon.

We regularly go to Greene King pubs for food. Unfortunately today we were left really disappointed. We all ordered the same meals, slow cooked beef ribbed burger. It took over 50 minutes to receive the meals. All I could taste was burnt food, the burger and bun were black. My husband and son poured the BBQ dipping sauce over there's to help with the taste. The fries weren't rosemary flavoured and you were only given a handful of fries if that! Nobody came over to ask if everything was ok. We will not be returning to the Black Horse!

Popped in at lunch time to enquire about food options spoke to Caitlin and Connor the chef we wanted the roast dinner however as we wanted to dine at £6 pm Caitlin explained the roast dinners were likely to be sold out. Connor immediately offered to set two meals aside for us. When we arrived staff could not have been nicer. We both enjoyed our meals and have no hesitation in recommending the warm welcome we from all the staff.

A disaster!! This is where Gordon Ramsey would freak out!! 80% of the menu is not available, even though we had reserved in advance for dinner and drinks (9/3/2024)! Had a glass of Abbot Ale at a sticky table, it was lukewarm and in a dirty glass, left half of it. (The brewery is probably not happy about that!) We walked to the "Red Lion" and everything was fine.

Decided to try here for a Friday Pub lunch. We arrived at 1.30pm, pub was moderately busy inside, most people were there for drinks though. We sat outside in the (concrete) garden, and there was one other table waiting for food. We ordered from the Lunch menu, hunters chicken and lasagne, plus two kids meal deals. We ended up waiting 1 hour for food!! No apology for a delay either. The adult meals were pretty sad looking, the lasagne was probably one of the worst I've ever eaten, but by this time, I was so hungry, I'd have eaten anything! The kids meals were bad. The accompany cucumber and carrot sticks were basically covered in black mould and disgusting looking. So bad, that I removed them to stop my daughter even trying to eat them. What establishment, would send out decomposing food to a child!!! Absolutely shocking. The service we recieved was cold and unfriendly from the out set. Unfortunately, this is not a place I would ever want to return to.

The food came out quick and hot and very tasty really made the day Thankyou.just been back 28th July at 16.15 asked whether doing food was told yes. Had a drink then went to order . Then as went to order food told no turkey no pie no steaks no gammon and with a virtual empty pub sign went up for 30 min wait for food Disappointed. Communication is key . Off to chip shop.

Went for a Sunday roast but apparently there was a technical issue. However I know someone who works there and they said it's because the person in the kitchen can't be bothered to cook roasts because they only ever do it when someone else is there. I have been a couple of times recently and this pub is just not what it used to be. And you can tell by how quiet it is. Both times have been on a Sunday, with lush weather. And both times my part were the only ones in there (not the whole time but you'd have thought a pub on a Sunday in nice weather would be bustling). The quality of food is not as good as it could be. The roast we had on our previous visit wasn't great. The roast potatoes tasted like they were store bought (frozen) and cooked then reheated!! However all this being said. The front of house staff were all very nice friendly and helpful. Cannot fail them at all. It's a shame the food let our visits down. This pub should be busy on a Sunday!!!

Visited for the first time in several years not really knowing what to expect and was amazing. Although menu was missing the seafood all other items were prepared and cooked beautifully. Tables were clean and regularly cleared of empty glasses, plates etc. Atmosphere was relaxed and peaceful. Saw youngsters sipping coffee and drinking water instead of beer which to me said everything about the atmosphere. Lovely place and staff and I'll definitely visit again x
