Black Horse in Hambleton

Long time since I’ve stayed in a place that makes you feel likes it’s an Inn. It’s has the local feel, excellent food (breakfast and dinner). A family feel to it as the boss mucks in every now and then. And rooms scattered across a number of out buildings. Definitely going back and highly recommend.

We stopped in our campervan excellent place .We went in for meal that was also excellent .Staffand food first class .Then went back for drinks at night everything about this place is perfect for us .We will be back .

Cannot recommend this hotel which ordinarily should be 5 star as they unbelievably do not have the ability to receive telephone calls as the calls are routed to the head office. An inability to talk to the provider of hospitality is beyond ludicrous.

Stayed in the camper for two nights with electric hookup. Beautiful dog friendly inn, nice choice of beers and casks. A delicious menu for meals, spoilt for choice. Each meal we chose was extremely delicious, good fresh hot and great service. The staff are great, very friendly ,good banter and very good at their job. There is a field at the bottom of the carpark where our dog loved to run and stretch.We will be back soon, with friends. Big thankyou to Stephen and his team for helping make the weekend special. Please keep up the good work.

Went for a meal and was meeting daughter and son in law, first time of visit by us. We had a meal and it was very tasty, the dessert was to die for according to daughter. We had been given a side room just off the bar and near the WC for the missus, the staff could not do enough, very friendly and attentive. The chef came out later on to have a chat. Definitely on our list to go back, the outside area is huge with decent seating and quite a few outside "rooms" would be marvellous in the summer. Little bit of a trek, just past Northallerton, but they do rooms so you could stay over and have a drink. All in all a great night in a great place. Would highly recommend.

Lovely set out bar & restaurant. Suberb staff, cheery and helpful. Down a star because of hotel working & aircraft noise.

We had a fabulous trip, great place, lovely food super friendly staff

great restaurant experience - really nice atmosphere, a wedding proposal on one table and two big birthday party celebrations on two others, wonderful buzzy atmosphere. Staff worked incredibly hard, menu was extensive and varied beyond the normal gastro pub range. Food was excellent - good quality ingredients imaginatively combined, we loved, it! We were staying overnight in a very comfortably and nicely furnished room, and breakfast was excellent. Well done to everyone involved in this great business, you deserve success.

We stayed overnight in our motorhome our first night motorhomimg, so glad we stayed here great place to stay, fab food warm welcome. I would highly recommend. And dog friendly. Thank you.

4 of us went back after a fantastic evening a few months ago. When we arrived we had a very warm welcome and told it was a brand new menu on. We ordered our drinks and looked over the menu (we were all stuck for choice) We all decided to try different dishes so we could try each others. To start we had Oak salmon with a Thai stir fry and coconut and sweetcorn sauce (amazing!) Goats cheese parcel with a mango and chilli dipping sauce Scotch egg (which I had last time) so good! And the bread and dips All were very tasty and well presented. Then we had 14oz rib eye on the bone Tandoori chickpea and sweet potato curry (to say this was vegan it was an absolute taste sensation!) Steak pie with chips (very good) but the veg that came with it was sensational (even tho it was only peas and carrots, we had to ask for the waitress to ask the chef how he did them! Bangers and mash with tenderstem broccoli and a onion just was also fantastic Then we just shared a couple of desserts- Panna cotta with poached plums and sticky ginger sauce. We asked do you do Sunday roasts and they said we do but it’s worth booking as it’s very busy. Next time we will try Top service and top grub!

Went out as a couple for a quiet meal only to find that the restaurant was in darkness and only the noisy bar in use. Four small tables were cramped together near the fireplace on both sides of the room, we were put on one of these, only to find ten minutes later that others were placed next to us on both sides (sat on one long bench) cramped up like school dinners! Feeling unable to talk to each other (as were the others!) This is the second time this has happened to us recently, No one wants to come out and have this happen, we will not return! We struggled to choose anything off the menu - if we had wanted a burger we would have gone to McDonalds there would have been more space to sit! Pie and mash was literally that as was sausage and mash - not a piece of veg in site! You do expect a balanced meal when paying in a restaurant. Disappointing, this is not the Black Horse we have been used to.

We stayed here for its location, the rooms are nicely decorated and the food was great. Only issue we had was we had the laundry room next to our bathroom and the next room shower / toilet behind our headboard. The shower next door and the toilet we could hear whilst in bed . The washing machine and dryer was droning away when we arrived into our room. Would have been great if nobody was in the next room.

Very comfortable room and a yummy dinner and breakfast. We would certainly return if travelling North again. Better than expected.

Lovely Sunday lunch, everything was really tasty, with lots of fresh veg and extra gravy. The crumble was beautiful, with a crunchie topping and lots of custard. Staff very friendly and welcoming will definitely return

Been numerous times and did panic my usual stonebass wasn't on the menu...I needn't have. Went for the croquettes followed by the three little pigs of Kirkby Fleetham and it was divine. Can never fault this place. Wonderful welcome, attentive wait staff and everytime I have visited there's a guy stood/sat at or near the door, who I assume is the owner, to check you were happy and wish you good night. Top staff, exquisite food for an amazing price and a really nice atmosphere. Will keep coming back. Side note, although I didn't stay on this occasion I have stayed previously and the rooms are lovely. Will book my next stay soon so I can work my way through the wine menu also.

What a gem this place is, we have been coming every now and then for around 2yrs, we love this place💗 and cannot fault the staff, from the reception you receive to the quality of the food. We stopped over night(again!) recently in our motorhome in the carpark, they even have a free electric point to plug in and the .toilets open all night We have always been made to feel welcome and all the staff are hardworking and wonderful, On this recent occasion we just want to say a big Thank you in particular to Sarah, who gives service with a smile and made our stay even more special, we started with coffee at dinnertime, then we had drinks and an evening meal, Sarah was even there at breakfast the next day! You can see she is extremely hardworking and never stopped.. but then always had that extra little bit of time to check on you and make sure everything is perfect..we could see her doing the same with others too, such a lovely lady. We stayed on a Sunday this time so it seemed fitting to choose the Sunday dinner, which was very tasty 👌 breakfast was also spot on too. Our little dog loves coming here too,( it is dog friendly in the bar) we really can't recommend this place enough.10/10 Heather & Paul and Pip

Stayed for 3 nights. Good accommodation in adjacent building. Excellent breakfast good frindly service. Evening meal good with veggie/ vegan options. Good reports of lunch too.

Visited the lovely black horse today for Sunday lunch. It was AMAZING! Gorgeous food, lovely and hot. We were booked in for 3pm and was out, after having two courses by 4pm! Didn’t feel rushed at all, just very efficient! Staff were all extremely welcoming. We will definitely be back, even though we live over two hours away. Thank you again to all the staff at the black horse!

Fantastic. We stay here when we can it’s a lovely place to stay. Rooms are fantastic. Designed so well.staff always polite and smiling. Friendly. Clean and comfortable. Meals are fantastic.

Brilliant meal we hadn't being for quite a wile so we went with some friends and the food was delicious staff friendly couldn't fault anything 👍

This was our second visit to the Black Horse Inn as it is convenient when we are travelling from Dorset to Edinburgh and back as a stop over. The pub is well decorated with its horse racing theme and the rooms are just superb. Good spacious car park and food is first class. Staff are also very helpful and it is truly wonderful country inn.

Excellent accommodation with plenty of beer garden room outside. Excellent food.

We had a wonderful stay at the Black Horse Inn, in spite of the weather. The room was most comfortable and the attention to detail was excellent. The food, both breakfast and dinner was outstanding and the staff couldn’t have been more friendly or helpful. We shall certainly be staying again.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Black Horse Inn. The staff and the food were brilliant, if you need a great place to stay in this area you need look no further.

What a fabulous couple of nights spent in this lovely little restaurant, with rooms. The rooms were comfy, with everything you need, and the food and service were over & above our expectations! Nothing was too much trouble, Jake was great at breakfast on both days, and the lady who helped us in the evenings was too, asking the chef to personalise dishes to our taste. We would definitely recommend & revisit, if we're in the area again.

Lovely pub in the Yorkshire countryside! Nice to be able to stay overnight in the carpark with first come first served with EHU !

We had the four poster bedroom , sadly it was impossible to walk round the bedside near the window as there wasn’t enough room . Even turning sideways to get into the bed wasn’t practical and ended up having to climb over the bed ,I’m too old for that . .The tables were very big and unfortunately the one under the tv didn’t have a mirror so difficult to get make up on.There was a large mirror in the room but I wanted to sit down to do my hair etc . The bathroom didn’t have a shelf over the sink so all the toiletries had to go on the floor . Not practical. The dining room however was beautifully decorated and the food was to die for . We will return but opt for another bedroom .

We stayed in our motorhome in their car park, fantastic pub and very friendly staff, the food was lovely.

Lovely place ,good food,nice rooms, great service,gets busy

Went for a late Sunday lunch and stayed over. Staff very friendly and helpful. Food was very good as was the breakfast. Room in the coach house was good as well

An amazing find. Everyone is so friendly and attentive. Rooms are fantastic, and the food is superb. We will definitely be going back.

hi. stayed here in march 2024 for one night. just booked it by chance. lovely quaint place. the staff were very friendly and helpful. horsey themed ,so any who likes horses will love it.doesnt matter if you dont you will still like it. quiet and relaxing. excellent value.would put a lot of very expensive places to shame.

Stayed in the family room, was really nice with kids, as they have a separate room so still some privacy, food was fantastic

Had a beautiful meal here March 13 for anniversary the food is delicious and the staff are so lovely and friendly look forward to returning soon

Atmospheric with low ceilings good vibe gorgeous Sunday roast.

Had lunch in The Black Horse, a lovely country pub with roaring fires. Service was exceptional, the staff were polite and hard-working. I had a delicious Halloumi granary sandwich with chips, but sadly, the chips were very obviously warmed up, so I've knocked off a star.

Absolutely fantastic place to stay. Really enjoyable. We have booked again straight away to stay again. Loved it. Room was really lovely big and done with so much taste. Really lovely little touches like Curlywurley instead of biscuits. Food was so good in fact fabulous. Atmosphere was lovely and really popular place to go to say it’s a small village. Make it a must.

Spotlessly clean. Good value. Friendly staff.

Definitely recommend to friends and family. Would like to return and maybe use the private dining room with friends. Food also very good quality and staff were friendly and welcoming.

Stunning beautiful pub food lovely

Lovely food and friendly service. I had a very tasty fish finger sandwich for lunch. Good beers on tap too. It's a lovely pub to visit.

Fantastic meal and service as always

Stayed in campervan in the car park with electric hookup. Very safe and quiet. Payed by having food in the pub. Everything was great! Food delicious and service first class. Excellent ales and wine. Will definitely return !

Booked in for 1 night on Christmas day. Lovely friendly welcome on arrival and shown to our room. Christmas lunch was fantastic, 3 courses of gorgeous food, the service was excellent, we were asked several times if everything was ok. Breakfast the next day was equally lovely. Will definitely return.

We stayed on boxing day for a night in our campervan, we had an amazing meal in the pub, and a good night's sleep in the carpark , with electric

Beautiful inn with lovely staff. Will definitely be back if we are in the area!

Utterly fantastic Christmas Day at Kirby Fleetham. Food and hospitality were second to none.

Had a fantastic meal and a few drinking with my partner a great atmosphere and a lovely stop over we will be back thank you

Lovely atmosphere lovely food friendly staff .. best country pub/restaurant we have been to in a long long time ! Stayed here in our campervan..booked a meal (camping was free as was the electricity if you eat in ) ..totally worth it ! ..everything was great !

Lovely dog friendly pub! Warm reception, beautiful food and the Leeds Pale was delicious 🍻 Will definitely pay another visit soon ☺️

We hd booked a night's accommodation here along with evening dinner and breakfast. From arrival to departure everything was great. We had a room just off the main building in a separate building and the future was quirky but lovely with a big comfortable bed and excellent shower. Only thing was that we were unable to switch off the fan in the bathroom even during the night. Just had to ensure the bathroom door was closed. Dinner and breakfast was excellent with great service

Found this cracking pub with rooms online, we were looking for somewhere close to the A1 as travelling south to Suffolk. what an amazing delightful and charming experience we had, exceptionally friendly crew, superb dinner and lovely breakfast. Superb rooms very well equipped and nicely appointed. Any one in the area please don't hesitate to use this place for food or accommodation. looking forward to returning in the very near future.

Great pub meal. Steak cooked perfectly. Wife had the pasta which was also very tasty. Great friendly service by all the staff

Third visit to this family friendly local. Yet again great service. Prompt and well cooked food. Dog friendly. Excellent toilets. And we will certainly be back. Loved it

Had a fabulous Sunday lunch at The Black Horse. Menu choice fulfilled every dietary requirement of our family group. The salmon was superb and the beef was delicious. Great quality ingredients and portion size. The staff were warm, friendly and welcoming and went over and above to accommodate us. Thank you everyone for a lovely meal and great atmosphere. We will definitely be back.

My wife and I was wondering were to go for something nice to eat, and she remembered we came here to the black horse about 18 months ago with some friends. It was a very good decision my wife had the pork dinner and I had the beef dinner it was fantastic and we topped it off with apple crumble and custard, after speaking with the owner who informed us about the suet pudding that is back on the menu as from September so it won’t be too long before we are back.

The pub has been around for years, food currently is really good, I’ve always enjoyed the food so far, the only downside is the fact that you cannot have a beer 22:20 anymore, everything was cleaned out and they were ready to close, the pub is open till 11 tho..

Fabulous!! Loved every minute! Comfortable. Great food. Very friendly staff. Big shout out to Kath in bar/restaurant/check in desk!! We didn’t go out much (weather was awful) so we really enjoyed chatting with everyone. A joy! We’ll be back!!

Very disappointing. Well below usual standard and choice. Wonder if it's got a new chef or is under new management. We won't be in a hurry to return any time soon.

Visited for a meal on a Saturday evening, online booking process was quick and easy. Arrived and were seated quickly, inside decor is nice and effort is clearly made to look after it all. We both ordered the special which was Halibut and Langoustines with mash. Food arrived and we were a bit disappointed that for £27.50 there was only 1 Langoustine (from the s on the end we were expecting at least 2!). Mash was more tepid than hot and a bit lumpy. Halibut was excellent. Service prompt if a little cold (it would have been nice if the lady who took our drinks and who kept asking if we wanted more had smiled at us, however, it looked like she was like this with everyone so we didn’t take it personally). We both had puddings which were delicious. Overall a nice meal out but won’t be rushing to return as it did feel quite expensive for what it was in the end.

Excellent Sunday lunch. Everyone very pleased with choices, staff efficient and friendly. Requested window table when booked and this is what we got. Thank you so much

We are new to the area so don’t know many good eateries yet! The Black Horse was recommended by a couple of people so when we met up with friends we decided to give this a visit for Sunday lunch. We were not disappointed, the place and service was really good and the food was exceptional. It had a great atmosphere too - we will definitely be going back there.

A really lovely meal, great service and love the new decor- and the Harissa Cauliflower steak was delicious

very enjoyable evening at the Black horse in Kirkby Fleetham good dinner menu with plenty of choices , food was well cooked and nicely presented staff were excellent but not intrusive . well worth a visit

Despite building work in progress we had a good experience at the Black Horse. Delicious pork and beef ciabatta. The staff and management were attentive. Good value.

Could not fault food nor service, son ordered fish n chips and first time ever I have seen food left on his plate! Portion was huge. I ordered the monkfish scampi, again a full portion and well presented. Service was excellent

Outstanding Sunday Lunch with family. Food was excellent. Service was excellent. Beer was excellent. What more can I say? Really like this pub and it deserves its great reputation. Recommended.

We live reasonably locally and visited for a mid week lunch. Very mixed experience. Prices definitely on the high side for a village pub, but happy to pay this for a quality experience. Unfortunately we didn't get this. Some interesting choices on the menu. Whilst...

5*, stayed over in the carpark in our VW Campervan, owner so welcoming, staff really friendly. Beautiful pub exceptionally clean, toilets left open all night, free hookup just have a meal (gorgeous). Stayed twice as so good.

Just moved into the village, went for Sunday lunch and it was excellent. Roast Beef and Roast Pork with lots of well cooked, properly seasoned veg. Nice surroundings and friendly, professional staff. Would happily recommend.

Great food and service. Met a group of friends for Sunday lunch - the first time we have all been together since COVID. We had a small side room and sat and gossiped for ages with no pressure on time. Dog friendly. Highly recommended

Excellent meal service and food brilliant. Second visit loved the food so much but little limited on specials menu to veal. If you like it good but would have preferred a lamb choice

We stayed here for 2 nights and ate in the pub both nights. The menu has some great choices including specials which venison was one. All our meals were pleasing on the eye as well as the tummy !!! Service was impeccable. Couldn’t fault a...
