Black Horse in Hambleton

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.

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

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

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

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 !

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 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.

Not for vegetarian or vegans! What a shame - this was a great pub - quick service, lovely bread before your meal and a dedicated vegan menu. However the chef has now changed and there is no vegan menu (and only one vegan/veggie option on...

We had a holiday cottage in the area and found this gem. We ate here 4 times out of a seven day holiday. Absolutely superb. We are coming back for a weekend to do some more excellent eating.

Visited Yorkshire for a few days with a friend and was desperate for a proper Sunday Lunch. We were staying in a beautiful cottage through Holiday at Home Ltd. Reading their welcome information, Charlotte, one of the directors wrote her favourite pub was The Black...

Very welcoming to motorhome and camper vans. A really good pub with superb food and great ambience. Very busy with diners best to avoid arriving between 7pm and 8pm. Hook up and toilets available with food purchase. Also free Wi-Fi added bonus amazing breakfast available...

This place is well worth a visit. Near Bedale and North Allerton. Situated in nice surroundings, but the difference is their customer service is second to none. We turned quite late and wondered if we'd missed food cut off (9pm) and also if we'd get...

We had a decent night here but the food was a bit underwhelming. Mushrooms on soggy bread were tasty but that’s it, no wow! Fish and chips were good but the belly pork was only just okay. It was very fatty (I know this cut...

What a find! Great location, wonderful dinner, classic pub food but beautifully presented and tasted as good as it looked. Clean well presented, pristine accommodation friendly staff, it doesn’t get better than that, the breakfast was equally delicious I had kippers, these were not some...

My husband and I were staying in a nearby log cabin and came here for Sunday lunch. Welcoming , friendly staff and nice atmosphere to the restaurant. We both chose the Roast beef which they do serve pink and they tell you that . I...

I travel a lot for work, and I always try to stay at a traditional country pub with rooms rather than a city centre business hotel. So I stay at a lot of lovely places. BUT It's not often I'm blown away by the quality...

This place has never failed to serve a delicious meal and a fresh pint, fizz or wine! I have stayed here a few times and it’s always been truly delicious. Tonight I had the sirloin steak and it was cooked to perfection and just all...

disappointed by the quality of the food. We were told that the curry was 'mild' when it was actually spicy and contained slices of chilli. the suet putting crust was hard and contained little meat and hardly any gravy. the bacon with the calves liver...

A group of 19 of us from across the country met here to celebrate a friend's special birthday. From the warm and friendly welcome, relaxed ambience, to the impeccable rooms and fabulous food our stay from beginning to end could not be faulted. Nothing was...

We ate at this pub and the quality of the meal and the very attentive waitress made it a very enjoyable experience

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

As always, with unique but special rooms, fantastic meals. Lovely people who work there and the best ambience I have been to throughout the uk this is a wonderful place. One of the meals we ate was fish and chips, but was described as a...

Service was OK not much enthusiasm from the staff but all were attentive but cameacrossas though theyd all had enough of working. The food was very unimpressive. Stone bass it self was OK but the massive flavours of the 3 sauces with it were too...

One of the nicest Sunday lunches! Absolutely 💯! Staff very nice and attentive, also lovely touch the boss checking all ok with all guests/diners.....be back soon x

A large group of us attended The Black Horse Inn for our work Christmas meal. The meal was excellent, served hot and in good time, to a large table of over 20 people. The service was excellent. Many of the team look forward to returning...

We stopped off on our way to Duns (always look on maps on phone and find a pub near by rather than services) food was amazing presentation was great and taste was out of this world. We both had soup, red pepper and sweet potato...

Have stayed here previously (although quite a few years ago). Decided to come back to dine and stay over on Sunday 30th October. Got a really good deal by booking direct with the inn (£87 for a large ensuite room Inc breakfast). It was a...

My first visit to the restaurant I was imoressed with the service, and a very good welcome, and was looked after very well. the food was escellent soup was hot and tasty i can not stand luke warm soup. The main course was also hot...

We very much enjoyed our first visit to the BH at KF. We were warmly welcomed and offered an excellent table near to the log burner. Choice of drinks is very good, the lunch menu is varied providing a broad range of dishes ranging from...

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.

It was while making our way to The Black Horse that my wife asked the very obvious question, “Why are we travelling 20 miles to have dinner”? As we’d never eaten at the Black Horse, the best answer I could give was that the reviews...

Went to this country pub and had a light lunch, the food is amazing, freshly cooked, and unusual. Friendly staff, I HIghly recommend a visit

Travelling North we searched Dog Friendly Pubs, we followed the directions and are delighted we did. We chose hot sandwiches and desserts. The quality of food was incredible and the subtle flavours a true delight. We enjoyed a warm welcome and great conversation with our...

Having decided we wanted to try somewhere new to eat a friend suggested The Black Horse, so we just turned up shortly after it opened and we were blown away. The entrance has a nice little seating area with several fire pits, you then pass...

We have come here a few times now on a Sunday for lunch. We have always enjoyed our meals and it has a nice laid back atmosphere to it. The food is tasty and we usually have a main and dessert. We feel it is...

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...

Nice pub with a pleasant vibe and good service. The food ranges from classic pub choices to a nice range of specials. There was also a good beer and wine choice. Worth a visit

We found this pub in The Good Pub guide and so glad we did, what a wonderful lunch we had. Hot and cold sandwiches plus 5 starts and mains with one or two unusual items like a Indian burger. My wife had the cheese souffle...

We are staying locally at an airbnb "The Shed" this pub is walkable from the accommodation. We decided to give this place a try and we were not disappointed, the food was beautiful, stunning in fact, and good portions. Staff were lovely and friendly, great...

We arrived yesterday for my husbands birthday , we were shown to the Desert Orchid Room , it was lovely and furnished with antique style white furnishings . The room had en suite bathroom and also in our bedroom was a huge roll top bath...

Excellent food, great menu choices, cozy atmosphere, friendly & attentive service and dog friendly. Able to stay overnight in the carpark in our motorhome too - perfect.

Went with my wife, son and his GF on their recommendation. Firstly the staff were excellent. The portly chap very knowledgeable, good sense of humour and very attentive without being in your face. The menu was varied with plenty of pub classics with a twist....

Visited the Black Horse again after a couple of years for sunday lunch and it was better than ever !! The atmosphere was really good and the roast beef and trimmings was superb. Best value for money literally anywhere we,ve been, exceptional !!

Has to be the best Sunday dinner we have ever eaten! The food is absolutely outstanding and the service the same. We live two hours away and was in the area for a short break and we are already planning when we can come back...

Booked here for dinner whilst on holiday in the area. Food was fine but on the evening we went the service was sadly very disappointing. They were obviously busy but they forgot our drinks or to bring a menu, and we were overlooked for some...

My fav place for Sunday lunch. Also to my surprise 30 + friends also were there as a surprise birthday for us. It was brilliant. Shout out to Tom who helped with all the arrangements and Steve for such a good welcome. The food as...

Everything you want in a meal out you get at this place. First class food and drink, efficient friendly attentive staff and a lovely cozy atmosphere. Have been coming back to this place for ten years and can’t recommend it enough. A proper Yorkshire country...

This was a very convenient place to stay on a visit to north Yorkshire. We spent four nights here dining in and breakfasting. The room was pleasant and had character and we were comfortable there. It was quiet despite the pub and restaurant, even when...

We had a Saturday evening meal whilst staying here. It. was very busy and had a nice atmosphere. The wine was good and chilled and we both enjoyed our respective starters of soup and mushroom bordelaise as well as the mains of Coq au Vin...

We’re staying near by in an Air B&, for a week, and the Black Horse Inn was our first place to visit. The four of us and our three dogs all quickly fell in love with the place. The staff (all of them) were so...

Sadly my recent visit wasn’t up to its usual standard. On entry to the restaurant there’s a recommendation to wear a mask and a sensor which takes your temperature which I applaud. It wasn’t a busy evening as we were eating quite early and I...

We ate here twice, food was well cooked, menu a decent choice too. Prices were fair not too expensive and the staff were friendly and helpful. We would eat here again with no qualms.

This was our first meal out in 18 months. We were greeted on arrival, the Covid precautions were very reassuring and the food was excellent. The Chocolate Nemesis in particular would have been welcome in a top London restaurant.

Well decided to give this a whirl after a day at York races, midway home, an ideal spot to allow us to visit friends locally the following day. It was a rather last minute outside bet. As we drove into the car park mid week,...

We were met with a warm welcome. Food is delicious and very good quality. Highly recommend the mushrooms bordelaise and the shallot tarte tatin with a crispy hens egg. Absolutely to die for. Despite being very busy, the service was excellent and the staff were...

Quirky pub hotel with excellent food and great customer service. Some of the bedrooms have small gardens attached which will be lovely in summer. Useful for wheelchair users. Large beer garden. Sunday roast. Recommend you book lunch or dinner as busy popular pub. Fried bread...

Went with my wife for a date night and couldn't ask for anything better. From start to finish the food was to the highest quality and our compliments go out to the chef. The staff were friendly and served with smiles on their faces and...

Booked a 3 night Christmas package. Room was nice but a bit lacking in detail ie. light out in bathroom, lack of water in a morning, window jammed open but comfortable bed and nicely decorated. The roll top bath in the actual room was a...

Totally recommend this restaurant/hotel we met up with some friends and was not let down the food was so good we rebooked for the next day Sunday lunch it was absolutely delicious we will be returning

A lovely night out with our children. Relaxed, but good quality food and excellent, personable service, left all.of us full and happy. Only downside was the complete lack of social distancing, with no tables kept empty and the people at adjoining tables less than a metre away, leaving us feeling uncomfortable by the time we left, with the restaurant full. A real shame, preventing us from returning until the Corona crisis is over.

Following a recommendation I decided to sample The Black Horse for myself and I'm glad I did. I enjoyed a lovely three courses and had a smashing pint of Black Sheep to top it off. I will definitely be back.

The Ups; Perfect Halibut, a great range of specials. The Downs; Sticky Tables, very expensive wine and slow service. The online menu is different to what you get in the Restaurant. Our guest's chair was touching the chair of another customer, not social distanced.

Great food and lovely service. We ate there twice in two nights it was that delicious! Thank you for the awesome food.

Went with my wife last night as we were child free. We had a brilliant evening. The staff were friendly,the food was Amazing! and the pub had a nice cosy feeling on an awful night outside. Thank you
