Black Horse in Hambleton

Great Sunday lunch, it’s a must if you’re in the area. We’ll definitely be returning. Food was delicious, tasty and fresh.

Lovely little Village pub , we have been in on numerous occasions ..warm, friendly and welcoming . First time having some food we got a meat feast pizza and chunky chips to share and it Was very tasty definatley will be Going again 😋

Great little traditional pub friendly locals. Go most weekends. Wish we could more often. Will be back as soon as we can

Wonderful friendly staff and great atmosphere, we were staying locally and went in three nights running and everyone was very friendly. We only ate there on one night and had the pizza we which was very tasty and super sized. We would definitely recommend this pub and will call again.

We went for evening meal and after reading some reviews we decided to book a table.On arrival we were suprised at how rude the bar staff were,very unprofessional and not helpful at all.We were going to finish our drinks and leave but decided as it was late to just order.What a mistake that was the Lamb Shank was from freezer and the mash was instant mash,not to mention the tinned green beans.Avoid at all cost

Lovely atmosphere, staff really friendly and hardworking and food was absolutely amazing and great value for money.

We are staying near by we have been into the pub twice and ordered take away. Great family run pub, that makes those outside of the village really welcome. The family that run it are lovely, really chatty, down to earth people. Food is proper honest pub grub, at a reasonable price. They do a great pint of hobgoblin too. Would definitely recommend.

My wife and I popped into the Black Horse just before our arrival at The Manor - and because it was the only local pub open on aTuesday. The establishment is extremely tired looking. The meals we had were mediocre at best! There were a number of guests having meals and we got the impression from the familiarity between them and the staff that they were frequent local diners. Will drive past next!

We went for a Sunday dinner I had lamb and my husband had the beef the plate was full with fresh vegetables and all the trimmings and it was delicious. We will be going back again. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Just had a wonderful Sunday Lunch at the Black Horse in Tollerton with my family. There were 8 of us and the staff couldn’t have been more welcoming and helpful. Vegans, children and meat lovers were all well accommodated, and the food was really beautifully cooked and tasty! This is a small, friendly, cozy pub, exactly what was needed and we shall be returning again.

Wouldn’t bother wasting your time coming to this pub. We went in with 2 friends one evening and my friend went to the bar, waited ages to be served even though it was dead, wasn’t acknowledged by the person working behind the bar which is just so rude especially when you’re stood there for a while and doesn’t give that ‘warm welcome’ you expect in a small village. Not that nice inside either, lacking seating and just general atmosphere. Definitely will not be going again.

arrived in tollerton to celebrate family occasion in nearby converted barn and bay house literally across the road, went for a meal large party of us and the food was fantastic, freshly cooked no faults at all. Nice and welcoming definitely recommend

Absolutely disappointed went for a family meal of 10. Cost £130 took 1 hr from point of sitting down for the first meal to arrive then took a further 20min for the remaining meals to arrive the pizzas were burnt the chicken was dry when asked at the end of the meal how it was the we told the lady our concerns to get the reply that the cook was on his own and could not cope with a order of 10 bearing in mind that we actually precooked this meal and they admitted that they should of put more staff on. The lady behind the bar was very rude and abrupt

We had to wait for over an hour for food that was cold and soggy in a dismal room with no atmosphere and horrible entertainment from the staff such as bingo the food was also terrible and came at a cost of £61 for 4 absolutely disgraceful meals that no one finished absolutely pathetic do not go.

Wow , just had our second meal in this wonderful pub . The Black Horse pub in Tollerton is so good. From the folks that run the pub to the fantastic quality wine and beer , then the food amazing. If you are in the area please call in. We had on the first visit a warm welcome and a fantastic meal, then on the Wednesday we called in for the steak night . We both had the fillet steak. Incredible. The meal came with all the trimmings and the wine also with the meal was beautiful wine from New Zealand. We were only in the area for 2 nights and have missed out on their Roast Dinner on Sunday. Would have loved to sample that also.

We were staying at The Burn Hall Hotel and googled pubs nearby and The Black Horse came up so we decided to book a table and so glad we did. We were greeted with a warm welcome and seated and I ordered the lasagne which came wit chips and salad and my Husband ordered fish, chips and mushy peas. The lasagne was gorgeous and the salad was so delicious. My Husband enjoyed his meal too and when we are next in the area, we will come back here. Definitely recommend it.

We were a party of 4 staying at the Burn Hall Hotel..we decided this local pub for a meal. We were not disappointed. What a lovely friendly old traditional pub, good atmosphere. Locals were so friendly along with the landlady who was so friendly and helpful. The menu was excellent, lots to choose from. The portions were huge. The food was amazing. So tasty. It was so good we went back the following night. The pie was just delicious. You certainly would not be disappointed.

We visited here twice whilst staying nearby at The Burn Hall hotel after seeing the good reviews. We booked the first night and were not left disappointed, the owners are lovely and welcoming and nothing is too much to trouble, excellent menu variety with lots of choice and home cooked which is the added bonus. We were that impressed we booked the second night of our stay for food and again fantastic. All of our party were pleased with the dishes they ordered, huge portions, delicious and well presented. Overall fantastic service and it's lovely to see an old style country pub with warm and cosy decor and a lovely open fire. We would definitely visit and return if we visit the area or nearby York again. The chicken Kiev is one of the best I have had!Keep up the good work guys and good luck during these hard times. We hope to come back.

Stopped off for a quick Mel the other night. Did not expect much but it was amazing. Proper home grub that was not expensive. COVID restrictions taken very seriously. It’s a shame food is not advertised at this place more online or outside as it was our favourite meal of the week!

We stopped in for an evening meal. Staff were friendly and helpful. The baked Camembert starter wasn’t quite as expected - it came as breadcrumbed balls - but the main meals were delicious. I had one of their specialities which was chicken parmo - a northern speciality. Very good value too.

We have eaten here a number of times and have got to say we have never been let down by either the service or the food,the menu is varied and we have tried various dishes and not once have we been disappointed.

Amazing Sunday roast, cooked perfectly, plenty veg, plenty gravy, the best beef and Yorkshire pudding.

Chicken stuffed with black pudding in a cream sauce was delicious, my wife also enthused about the mushroom, sage & truffle oil risotto. Excellent choice from the new menu. This pub is an asset to Tollerton village.

Been here now on a few occasions now to sample the meals and not been disappointed once, everything from the early bird menu through to the pizza's have been delicious

we walked to the pub from the caravan park and went in to a lovely open fire,the food is very good,tasty and plentiful, very good prices compared to South West where we come from, very nice staff too, we will be back next time we visit yorkshire

Walked in pub on day one of holiday made to feel really welcome , went back a few times and had meals that was absolutely excellent and value for money, Emma and Sam who are landlords made us feel welcome and we definitely want to visit again.

Another fabulous meal at the Black Horse, Tollerton.The Coconut and Chilli Chicken was so delicious with a sumptuously thick and creamy sauce. Creamy but not overly rich and accompanied by flat breads keeps this dish beautifully balanced.My husband and daughter were equally impressed with their choices of fish and gammon respectively.3 clean plates!!A warm welcome awaits visitors and regulars alike to this gem of a local.Well recommended

It's a friendly pub for sure but the food, although not badly priced, was very average and what you would expect from a pub. The Gammon was fine but the Chilli Ginger Chicken although reasonably tasty was watery and not the creamy sauce I expected. How you're meant to eat it with Flat Bread I don't know - it needed rice. I don't think that I'll be back.

Just had an amazing full English Breakfast here. All locally sourced food with my favourite Hartleys sausages. I’ve eaten here a few times now and can highly recommend it due to the friendly welcoming staff, excellent choice of drinks and the fantastic food.

We visited our local for some drinks and food but this time we took some friends with us who we had told you will not be disappointed,turns out we were right ,thankyou emma and sam for the excellent service and the superb food,that prawn and chiriozo starter is a pleasure to eat and apparently so is the black pudding starter,our mains were just as good as were our desserts, if you are a local or even if you are not you got to try this food you will not be disappointed.

Lovely dinner in local pub close to our accommodation while staying in Tollerton.

We had a very tasty Roast beef lunch today-it was a very generous portion and there were plenty of vegetables.We will be back . Thank you

I wondered down to my local pub with my son and had their homemade burgers which were delicious. Great beer, great atmosphere, really friendly and helpful staff.

Called in for a Sunday afternoon drink, lovely traditional pub, friendly staff, good choice of drinks & very reasonable price. Will be back.

Stumbled in here after the horrible realisation of finding ourselves booked in Best Western Burns hall. What a difference. Like being in a friend’s front room. A characterful place and full of characters Oh and the food : very delicious, perfectly cooked. With coal fires. Yes!

Arrived early as usual as know can get busy. The beer was brilliant...kept going back for more which is a sure sign. I started with deep fried Whitebait and gave to say I've not had better. I followed this up with the half chicken special with garlic butter. This was served with a separate jug of garlic butter and a tasty side salad as well as the amazing chips served here (wish I knew the secret). My wife had the Haddock and Prawn Risotto which was also brilliant. Well done to the chef - that was a fantastic meal. Easily better than my recent visit to the Ivy in York which I hasten to add I really enjoyed.

Just had Sunday lunch here. Had a groupon, worth every penny. Plenty of good quality meat and vegetables. Friendly service. We will definitely be back.

£15 for x 2 Sunday lunches, which was a special January offer. We pre booked and were put on a table in the bar area to eat; I think the restaurant was totally full, not a problem for us but I think, from what I saw, the restaurant looked a nicer environment.

Visited the Black Horse again, and again extremely happy with the location, the service and of course the food. Highly recommended the food is first class and great value for money

Nice friendly place. Ate in pub side. Staff very helpful. Food was nice as you would expect at any half decent pub. Nice locals.

Beautiful place. Cosy with the real fires burning. Food is outstanding. Bat staff and owners are so friendly. We are never disappointed. Thank you.

Dined early evening on a Monday night and was surprised to find the car park full, but there was plenty of street parking close by. Though there were menu items not available there was still sufficient choice. Both starters and main courses were well presented, and unlike many other places where the food items are piled on top of each other in the centre of the plate, the portions were generous to ensure we were not left hungry.

At last our village pub has a chef that produces food to the same high standard as other local hostelries.

Perfectly cooked and presented, this is restaurant quality food in a friendly village pub setting. Fab starters of black pudding and garlic mushrooms both well presented and topped with a perfect poached egg. Mains of haddock and chips and steak burger with all the trimmings similarly excellent. Good choice of wines also. A big thumbs up!

Popped into The Black Horse on Saturday for dinner with my brother which was fantastic. We both opted for the Tempura King Prawns to start which were amazing. For the main course we ordered Venison and Rack of Lamb. Both dishes were beautifully presented and really tasty! (the orange gin wasn't too bad either!)

The fish and chips and mushy peas were the best I've had in years. My partner had the steak burger which again was lovely. The prices are very reasonable and will definitely be going back

Looking for somewhere for Sunday Lunch. This is the place. Warm and welcoming. Staff excellent. All homemade, best Sunday Lunch we have eaten since I last cooked! We will definitely be back.

Meal for two. We had one starter between two. The mains we had were half roast chicken and Sea Bass fillet. The food was simply brilliant. Desserts were home made- chocolate brownie and sticky toffee. Perfect end to a delightful meal

Food was very good and staff very friendly , would recommend a visit , we will be definitely be calling in again

Went for an evening meal. Starters were great. Main courses were excellent. Dessert knocked my socks off. Can't remember the exact name in the menu but it's made by the chef. A popcorn and salted caramel dessert. Simply brilliant.

Child and dog friendly Lovely meal sorted food for kids Lamb was Devine Lovely friendly staff Good prices Will definitely visit again if in the area

I visit my friend who lives in the area at least twice a year. This pub has changed hands most times we’ve been. Each time the issue has been the same as if the staff can’t be bothered with customers. After driving 140 miles I didn’t want to drive to the far superior Bluebell Inn at Alne. We walked into an empty pub to be told the chef had gone sick ok not a problem can’t be helped. Barmaid was distracted looking after her kids and got the impression it was a nuisance having customers in the pub. On the plus point the steak burgers were really nice but the pizza was pretty awful. Appreciate the chef issue isn’t their fault but felt like I’d just walked into the Slaughtered Lamb in American Werewolf in London!!!

Four of us had dinner at the pub in July and it was lovely. Very friendly staff, good food & nice surroundings. We all enjoyed our visit.

We had arranged for a bus visit of 40 people

Great meal tonight pre England match. The cheese soufflé and onion cream starter was to die for. Lamb meal lovely and puds yummy. A good night all round but shame England lost

We called in here a couple of weeks ago on a friday evening !!, it was chaos, my friend and i then came back as its the only place in the village to drink.

We called in here as we were stopping at the caravan park about 5 min down the road it was the closest place for a meal it was a Friday night I had already contacted them to book the table 4 days before also advise them we had one person who was gluten free.

We visited the Black Horse for Sunday Carvery what a lovely country pub the staff friendly and very helpful the food was lovely and brilliant value

It's nothing fancy but the food was DELICIOUS. Big portions at reasonable prices and made to feel very welcome by staff and locals. Had a pool table so me and the teenager had a few games before tucking into a huge steak burger for under £10. My wife had tagliatelle and said it was also freshly cooked and tasty. If you are staying at the local Q hotel or just in the local area it's well worth the short drive.

Husband and I visited whilst we stayed in Tollerton. We were welcomed with our dog and the locals included us in their conversations which made us feel very comfortable and more so the laugh. Would definitely call back there.

We ate here for two evenings and it was great, no complaints whatsoever. Food was lovely and big portions. We stayed after our meal on the first evening as there was a pub quiz and we had a really enjoyable evening. Locals were very friendly.

My daughter has just moved into the area so we were finding our feet a little. Not sure but think food is only on a takeaway basis, which we used, and was excellent. Fabulous little village, the landlords were excellent company and made us feel very welcoming. Will be visiting many times each time we are in the area.

We went to the black horse for sunday lunch and it was gorgeous. Massive yorksire pud, lots of meat and veg. Defo go back

Walked here from the village of Alne as the "pub" there was closed with no reason, after a brisk 30 minute walk we found ourselves sitting in this pub with a pint in hand. The staff were friendly and welcoming and helped us organise our lift back as we didn't fancy the walk in the dark. Sadly the kitchen was closed when we visited as it's being remodelled, however the menu looked great and if we ever visit again we will definitely we eating there.

We called in after staying overnight in the area. Had a nice welcome by bar staff. Service was very good and the meal served quickly. Food was nice with good portion size so we were very happy with our meal. Prices were reasonable. Would visit again if in the area.

we visited on a Sunday following some good TA reviews. Pub was quiet which we thought unusual for a Sunday...

This has never been a brilliant pub, run down & managed by mediocre wannabes, but the current incumbents really take the biscuit!

I feel after having written an excellent review for the black horse previously I need to update the readers after...

This pub was excellent. The food was cooked to order and delicious. The staff were really friendly and gave us...

Very friendly local pub ,made me welcome ,great food ,I will be going back is the best recommendation I can give .thank you Jay and Emma and all the staff

Went here as we were staying at the nearby caravan site. Lovely, friendly welcome, good choice of pub grub and nice restaurant to sit in. All of the food we ordered was very nice and enjoyed by all. Staff were all super welcoming. Well worth a visit if you are passing through the area. Prices very reasonable too. Had a nice family feel, like you were visiting family for tea!

After a bad period, new tenants have brought a breath of fresh air to our local. Can't comment on the food yet, but good drinks, cheerful staff and lively banter. I'm sure things will continue to go from strength to strength.

Thank you, Jay and Emma for today, a superb Sunday Dinner, absolutely spot on, just a shame we could not squeeze in a desert.You both deserve a lot of credit for the work you have done, having a great village pub is so important and you have taken on a real challenge.We both loved the food today and can not wait to see what is in store for the future. You certainly have our thanks and we will support you in your new venture.Good luck and we wish you success, as in the long run we, the customers, will be the winners.

Brilliant village pub!! Kept traditional which makes it feel really warm and welcoming! The food is brilliant and brilliantly priced therefore caters for all needs and price ranges. Excellent service and staff! regularly visit the pub with friends for the bar scene and drinks which is brilliant. Various activities happen in the pub like quiz's, darts etc. fab atmosphere.

Warm welcome from the staff. With quality food and great ale. Well worth a visit. Sunday lunch is worth the visit beef cooked to perfection .

sunday lunch one off the best i had the beef melted in your mouth yorkshire pudding was good could not fault any part of it

Set in a lovely North Yorkshire village the owners gave us excellent service providing a wonderful cooked breakfast local produce with tea and toasted fresh bloomer bread at a great price of £12 for two. Just great but only does this exceptional service Saturday and Sunday 8 til 10.

We visited The Black Horse with our 2 young children whilst staying at Tollerton caravan site. The food was excellent, staff very friendly and helpful and the outside garden was fab for our 2 little boys! Highly recommend it.

Had high hopes for this pub given the good reviews. They had sold out of fish and chips on a Friday night by 7.30pm and didn't have our second choice available either. We had to get our own menus and waited over an hour for the meal to come. When it did arrive the waitress sent the chef's apologies for the oven chips - they'd run out of home made chips. They were soft and soggy and my gammon was swimming in oil. When I expressed my disappointment to the waitress at the end she said all of the problems were due to them being busy. Surely they've been doing this long enough to be able to cope? Won't return.

Fantastic village pub. Very friendly staff.Food was exceptional. 3 people eating and drinking.2 meals from the specials board (Rack of Ribs and Chicken) and a Lasagne. All 3 amazing.Don't pass by this pub without calling in.

Very friendly pub with excellent food. Amazing lasagna for me, husband had the ribs and our friend had chicken with tagliatelle. All of it excellent quality. Cheese board amazing and generous. My lemon tart with black current sorbet was superb. No hesitation in recommending the food.

I used to live in Tollerton so I know this pub very well, however, this was my first visit under the new management. We arrived as a group of 6 adults and 2 children towards the end of the breakfast period but we were still welcomed in. We put the young waitress through quite a few minutes of chaotic food and drinks ordering on our part but she remained completely pleasant and professional. We sat in the beer garden and were served a delicious array of cooked breakfast, coffee, soft drinks and Prosecco based Bucks Fizz with a large plate of lovely toast to begin with. I have to say that I was delighted to see the improvements and subtle, but stylish changes the new Manager and staff have brought to this little village treasure that seem to be bringing it out of what I can only call, its 'Dark Period'. Definitely worth a visit!

This pub has everything going for it. Beautiful village setting amazing staff/owners and gorgeous food. I can't remember how long we had to wait for the food but it was definitely worth it. Me and my husband had food off the specials. It was beautifully cooked and tasted delicious. My children also had some food and the portion was huge. The daughter of the owner (I assume she was the owner) was so hospitable and interacted with my young children which we don't always get in certain places. Overall it was a lovely place we would visit again.

Since the new chef and menu have been started the food is excellent! Good portions and the quality was of a very high standard. Kim was an excellent host and I would recommend the black horse for a meal.

Just had one of the best fish and chip suppers ever at the Black Horse at Tollerton North Yorkshire, the Mussy Peas are great.Thank you Kim, Stan and your team. We are looking forward to trying out more of your menu.

Visited on Friday 1st July in a party of 2 mature couples for a meal.We were welcomed by Kim the landlady who showed us to our table.After an excellent meal we were entertained by a very good duo (White Starr). All in all a good night out

We went last sunday had a really good sunday lunch. Yorkshire portion sizes with all scratch made ingredients thats really something to look for in a pub. Staff were really friendly and helpful it was a lovely sunny day and it was a great break from all the painting and decorating. The Black horse has changed hands a lot over the last few years so it is great to see how it is going forward. Thanks for looking after us and your beer selection is really good. The family and me are looking forward to try more guest ales and sunday lunches. Hope to try soem of the other menu stuff I saw some good stuff on the specials board

The pub has recently had change in management and the results are really promising. Great menu. The chicken and chorizo really hits the spot as does the gammon steak. Puddings have also taken a great leap forward. We had the crumble and the sticky toffee pudding...both were delicious. This is good honest pub grub. Keep up the good work.

Had a fantastic meal in a very welcoming village pub. We shall be returning. Had Fish & Chips excellent value 2 for £15, good selection of ales. friendly staff with excellent friendly service. We shall be returning to sample new menu.

Just had a fantastic family meal which was great value for money, all freshly made from scratch, beautiful homemade chips......yum yum. Very friendly staff, quick service and lovely cosy eating area. Most defiantly will be back.Ps the puddings are to die for. Thank you guys

We had the most amazing Sunday dinner here last week! The Yorkshire puddings are the tastiest I have ever had, meat was lovely, veg varied and nicely cooked, gravy delicious... Proper, home cooked dinner as it should be! Plenty of food too. Will definitely return!

The Black Horse is a great pub. Since having kim in charge the whole pub is so much better. The food is great and nicely priced too. All the locals are great. They are very helpful with local information. This is a centre of the village and also they hold a mini show in August. I will be coming back for that.

Came across this pub on a visit to North Yorkshire. Great Sunday lunch offering 3 choices of roast meat with all the trimmings. We chose the roast beef which was cooked to perfection and great value for money at only £8.95 each. Only fault was we were put in a room on our own as we had our dog with us - not so bad in itself but room was quite stark and uninviting. The waitress was very nice

Pleased to report that after years of not eating at the pub due to the numerous change overs in owners, we now have a pub offering good quality pub grub. Went for a meal last week and we had 3 different meals from the menu, all of which were excellent. Just what the village needs. Nothing fancy, just good pub grub at affordable prices. Plenty of options on the 2 for £12 menu. You can't go wrong at that price. Will definitely be back.

We have friends in Tollerton and visit at least 5 x times a year. In recent years we had boycotted the pub as the previous owners were awful! Well done to the new owners as they have made this a welcoming village pub for both locals and tourists like us! We took the advice of our friends and booked for Sunday lunch at 3.30. What I really liked was unlike a lot of other local pubs they serve lunch till 5 for those of us that prefer a late meal. Excellent value for money £8.95 for one course and £12.95 including a pudding. The plate of food was very generous with home made mash and yorkshires. The only negative is that they only had 3 deserts on the menu and I didn't like any of them otherwise I would have had one based on the quality of the main course. Great value only £30 approx including wine for two will definitely be back.

Went in for a drink with my partner and was greeted immediately. Everyone was so welcoming and its such a cosy place. The food is delicious! The burgers are very big but very nice. I will defiently be going back here and recommending the black horse to locals and my friends. Brilliant!

We were on holiday in Yorkshire in July 2015 and stayed in Tollerton. The Black Horse was very welcoming, with a friendly landlord and jovial locals. The beer is good and the food servings were ample. The children ate free during the school holidays which is a nice gesture. As holidaymakers we were made to feel most welcome and the locals gave us good pointers on places to visit. A nice bunch of folk. The new landlord, Graham the Jam fan, is clearly trying to rejuvenate the place and even over the course of our week's stay the place was beginning to be smartened up. It's to be hoped this pace of change continues and the residents of Tollerton come out and support their local in order to guarantee its future. I'd happily go back should we visit the area again.Drew, Scotland

Really good beer and landlord really nice bloke. I only popped in for shandy but ale was 10/10 only fault was I ran out of money

Had a lovely evening at the black horse food was excellent the staff and landlord was very friendly highly recommend this place

We have recently returned from a holidays in Tollerton. Great place and the perfect village pub. Lovely food, we tried the Sunday lunch and the bar menu which were both excellent. The landlord has recently taken over and is obviously trying to build it up. Looking forward to returning soon.
