Black Horse Inn in Chiltern

Beautiful views, nice and quiet location, friendly and helpful staff and the food is great value for money

I feel obliged to state that I wasn't a regular to TBH. I visited with my girlfriend on several occasions when she was living in Chesham from 2021-2022. It became a place we would often think of when the days were luminous and sultry and we fancied enjoying a cold tipple. Predominantly because of the sweeping valley vista. The view never failed to take our collective breath away. You couldn't help but be almost overwhelmed by its bucolic setting. Deeply romantic - even with a lot of children running around, or, with the porta-loos at the bottom of the garden. I always had nothing but pleasant times there, and, I'm sure I speak for my other half when I write that she would reiterate that. I was sorry to hear that The Black Horse had closed it's doors for good. I had hoped to make at least one visit this summertime but obviously that won't be possible now. I just hope the owners re-open it one day so the locals have a fantastic base to once again visit on those tranquil sunny days and the cold wet ones.

We visited The Black Horse apub on their last evening of trading, which we are so sad about. Gita and Alison, as always, did a fantastic job. The food was up to their usual very high standard. On every occasion we have visited the pub for dinner the standard of food, service and value for money has been outstanding. Your entire team is a credit to , well done. Please find a way to make your business plan work. You are both excited at what you do, the very best of luck in the future.

We chose this restaurant as we were in the area and we wanted to stop off for a quick Sunday lunch and based on the reviews selected this. It has to be one of the worse Sunday lunches we have ever eaten! It can only be described as slop on a plate! Apart from the Yorkshire pudding which was freshly made (and hence the 1 star) the rest was just soggy vegetables and roast potatoes and lots of it! It was really unpleasant! I’m struggling to understand where all the good reviews have come from. Truly don’t bother! There are a lot better places to eat locally!

I've been meaning to go for a while as I'd heard good things. I made it last night for the first time to meet a colleague. The pub is his local and regularly visits. With the heat, we sat outside in the beer garden. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. They had set up an outdoor kitchen and bar, a leftover from the pandemic and now coming in handy for the current heatwave. The food and beer was limited in choice but I found pretty good. The service was very good. Very welcoming. Very hospitable. I would highly recommend.

We had a family and close friends party for our joint birthdays, one of which was at the beginning of lockdown. It was held in the barn on a Saturday afternoon, and we chose the grazing table buffet, which was excellent with something for everyone. We sat inside for the meal and when the sun came out, we moved into the garden. The barn is a wonderful setting and nothing was too much trouble for Lisa and John. I would definitely choose The Black Horse for another celebration and recommend it to others.

No option to eat inside, outside menu limited and uninteresting. Wish I'd known that they'd locked the pub and were expecting everyone to use his and her's portaloos, I wouldn't have eaten there at all. Burger had no flavour and was overpriced. No respect for their customers to make them use portaloos. Definity will not visit again.

Really friendly pub staff. Stopped of here as a DofE checkpoint and the were kind enough to let the group use their toilets and provided water for them.

Had a christening here in the private area, everything was well taken care off! Walked around for a bit as well, great outside area and plenty of parking available. Staff waa super friendly!

This was our third visit for Sunday roast a family of eight. Unfortunately we were very disappointed with the food on this occasion, the starters were excellent but the roast beef was very tough to the point that my sister and elderly father could not eat it, the slices had like a griddle mark so I think perhaps it was warmed up this way. My husband had the chicken which was very dry and over cooked, the pork was ok. Also all of the meals were Luke warm. Twice we had to ask for enough cutlery to cover the starter and main meal. I did mention all of this to the young waiter and to your credit we were offered a ten per cent discount, this wasn’t really the point of us complaining it was just a big disappointment as previous visits have been first class. The waiting staff were very friendly and because of this reason we left a tip, apart from our complaint we had a nice time. Perhaps was just a bad day for the roast.

We walked here from Berkhamsted through the woods and fields with the dog, the kids and my mum today, meeting my wife's parents there. The service was genuinely friendly, prompt and helpful and the food was fantastic. The best Sunday pub roast I've had in YEARS - rare beef, tonnes of veg and extra gravy if you ask for it + a huge Yorkshire pudding. They even do a slightly smaller "granny portion" for those who don't want a big lunch. The fish and chips was also huge and well cooked. Two local real ales available, and both were very well kept. Not the cheapest food in the world, but certainly no more expensive than many places in the area and I think that the quality was better. Lovely people and great food, and the outside space looks like it would be lovely in the summer. Highly recommended.

The food here is delicious with perfect portion sizes! There’s something for everyone & it’s the perfect family friendly pub day or night. The staff are always so lovely, love this place!

Was served by Charlie, very polite, didn’t feel rushed, quick and good service and lovely food, would recommend

I hired the barn for my daughter’s birthday party. Gita and the team were amazing! The room was set up and looked great, the food was excellent and nothing was too much for them (as standard really). I cannot recommend using the barn space and the team at the Black Horse enough!

Excellent dinner party, food yummy (generous portions!) and service superb. Nothing too much trouble for the staff who were attentive & humorous and went out of their way to give our party (of 8) a great evening. Thank you!

Amazing Christmas lunch plate! I decided to do a little bit of work over lunch. Wifi was superb, and the lunch was delicious. The pub has all of its Christmas decorations up and it felt so festive with a lovely fire on. I suspect we...

Really enjoyed the food here. The pies were superb, starter of portobello mushroom on toast was spot on and washed down with a couple of lovely Missendon ales. Busy atmosphere but not rushed neither did we wait too long. The other food coming out such...

We where welcomed with a smile, and shown to our table,staff were attentive and very polite. The food was well cooked and beautifully presented, with a wide choice. We enjoyed our stay and will be returning .

Came here for Sunday lunch and it was great. Our waitress isabella was outstanding from the time we walked through the door of the pub. Immediately brought out the colouring pens and drawings for the kiddies. She explained the menu thoroughly and nothing was too...

Four of us had lunch on a Saturday after an enjoyable hike. Excellent hamburgers and beef pie. Very good service and a good local,beer. A large pleasant garden.

We had the best Sunday lunch with 14 of our close family, the first time we had been together since before the dreaded Covid! The service was excellent, they couldn't have done more for us and the food came out together, on time and really...

We were a family party of 4 looking forward to Pub Sunday lunch. Based on the wonderful reviews we chose the Black Horse in Chesham. Unfortunately the 3 Roast Beef lunches we ordered were inedible - The beef was so tough you could not cut...

We had hired the private room at the rear of the pub for a private party. It was perfect for the gathering of about 40 people. We had ordered the browsing buffet and the food was plentiful and of a good quality. The staff in...

❤️❤️❤️ The Black Horse Inn! Superbly managed! Amazing staff!! Delicious food!! Stunning setting!! So glad you are back - thank-you!

We have had two wonderful lunches at the pub since the reopening last week. The food was great and the garden was glorious! The staff were extremely friendly, professional and efficient and Covid safety was paramount! Can’t wait to come back soon!

After months of not leaving the house and the pubs finally opened, we enjoyed a wonderful afternoon at The Black Horse my favourite place to eat and drink. Friendly and attentive staff working incredibly hard and food, as always, delicious. Thank you Team Black Horse...

Such a lovely pub, great garden for the summer, cosy for the winter, great food and exceptional service👌

Fabulous location and excellent menu. Love the pretzel bun burger. Ham hock starter also fab. Only complaint is with the Bubble & Squeak - perfect, except for the fact it had tonnes of carrots in it. Bubble and Squeak is cabbage and potato, not carrot!

Came to the black horse for a Sunday roast, 2 options beef or chicken breast. We all went for the beef, the Yorkshire was huge and everything tasted so nice, roasted parsnips and carrots and potatoes, leeks and cabbage. Then for pudding I had the...

Just returned from the Black Horse. Party of 7. We hadn't been here for years and it was a great evening! Beautiful pub interior, sublimly delightful food and good adherence to social distancing. Great offer of any 6 main courses for £60. The 2 children...

We came here because a TV show we like was filmed here. The staff couldn't make us feel more welcome. They sat us at the same table the show was filmed at, and told us many wonderful tales of what the filming was like. They indulged us as we recreated scenes. It was the highlight of our weekend in the area. The food was also delicious! All Covid laws were adhered to by all staff and customers. I was sad when it was time to leave.

Celebrated my birthday on Sunday with some family friends. Staff were really friendly and accommodating. Food was outstanding and great selection of drinks!

Had a great Sunday lunch. Sat inside and everyone was socially distanced and food and drinks were left near the table to collect. No issues at all. Felt perfectly safe and good entrance/exit arrangements. Easy to pay etc and after diners left tables and chairs were wiped down. Well worth a visit. Booked by email for the table inside and our special requirements were met.

We had Sunday Roast for family of 6 - simply amazing! The food was delicious and the portion size so generous. The team members were so friendly, efficient and couldn’t do enough! Under Covid conditions everything worked very smoothly & the whole pub was spotless!!

Had a very tasty family lunch in the spacious garden. Tables arranged to allow easy social distancing, excellent service and value for money. We felt safe and relaxed. We will be returning soon!

Enjoyed a lovely lunch with our two sons in the picturesque garden. The Black Horse has really mastered outdoor socially distant dining, with well spaced tables and special serving tables where your food and drinks are brought to. Out server, Isobel, was excellent from greeting us on arrival, to taking our order and bringing our food to a nearby serving table. Contactless payment up to £45 per transaction is available and you pay at your table as you order. The food was excellent - large portions and delicious, as it always is. We're so lucky to have this pub so close to home, but if I had to, I would travel to eat there.

Had a really nice family meal out today . Veggie roast was lovely and every one else really enjoyed there Roast dinners...the potatoes was lovely Cooked all the food was really nice . the puddings was very good too .Are waitress Natalie was very helpful and made sure we had great experience ..thank you .we will see you again ...

So after months of not leaving the house the pubs finally opened. I was a little anxious about going but wanted to support our local.There really was no need to worry! They have put lots of processes in place and everything has been done to ensure the safety of both staff and customers. Although things were different they still offered the same amazing and friendly service that you expect. The staff explained the changes clearly and made you instantly relax and almost forget about Coronavirus. The menu was reduced but still had a good selection. The food was awesome.I can not praise the team enough for all of their hard work and dedication to keep us safe.I will definitely be back!

I haven't visited this pub for about 25yrs, it's about 6-7mls from home for me but I used to use it regularly. Saw a good review on TripAdvisor so decided to revisit.Pub appears to have been recently refurbished, nice job, comfortable seating, great big fireplace, tables well arranged in various nooks and crannies around the bar area instead of in one big area.Good menu, nice selection at fair prices, my father had sausage and mash, which he declared to be one the best he'd for years !, my selection was a sausage sandwich, very tasty and very filling. Great service by helpful and friendly staff. Will definitely go back here, thoroughly recommend. Also dog friendly

Just had a great night out at the black horse with my girl friends, we played games provided by the pub in between courses, the service was incredible, attentive but not annoying, food plentiful and tasty (I would have served the goats cheese tart warm but still delicious) and as for the raspberry tart, Oh My Goodness! Will definitely be going there again soon especially as this knocked the socks off out last visit in every way, nice to see a place that wants to keep improving, well done the black horse team and thank you for a really enjoyable evening

Tonight was exceptional. After having a bit of a hiccup shall we say last time we came here for dinner in December we attended again today for a re run! The service was exceptional, food was good, wine was great and company even better. Staff looked after us brilliantly and we had a wonderful time. We certainly will be returning and we have planned already to attend some of the great black horse events which I’ve attended before and are great fun! Wonderful pub, dog friendly and people friendly! Give it a go you won’t be disappointed!

Just had Sunday lunch and have been very disappointed in the service.Had to wait over half an hour for the first course to be cleared and for pudding to arrive.Had to ask for spoons! The place was hardly really busy and I really think things could be improved.!!!

Made our party of 10 plus dog, extremely welcome. Lovely traditional pub with large garden for kids to run free. Food was fantastic as well as the service. Beautiful location. Would be beautiful in the summer months even just for a drink.

My friend just got a puppy so for our twice yearly meet up we needed to find a dog friendly pub. I did a quick google search and the Black Horse came up so we thought we would give it a go.The pub is lovely and quiet with a decent amount of dining tables. We didnt have a booking so we only had the table for an hour and a half which was more then enough time to eat. Dogs are allowed inside the pub so we settled into a comfortable table. I ordered the chicken and chorizo pie for my main and a brownie for dessert. It was delicious and great value for money. I would happily return to the Black horse. It was a lovely change and I would definitely recommend if you want some decent pub grub!

An impromptu visit however food did not disappoint. Two Vegan Lasagnes ordered for our group and those that ordered them were mightily impressed. Good to see lots of vegan options as they are often overlooked. Vegan Chocolate Orange Cheesecake was also great!

Friends of ours suggested this meeting in this pub for a post Christmas lunch. None of us have ever been there before and there is no way we would be coming back. The mushroom and spinach lasagne was basically sick-like slop,which was accompanied by dry and inedible ciabatta. No butter or olive oil was offered. At 12.95 it was the most expensive slop I have ever had... My husband had the chicken curry which mostly consisted of rice. We did not complain as we didn't want our friends to feel uncomfortable but there is only one word for the food - awful. We both left the place hungry as I could not finish my slop and my husband's curry probably contained only about four small cubes of chicken which, at nearly 15 quid, was outrageously overpiced.

Saturday lunch before Christmas. Very enjoyable meal in well run restaurant. Food was excellent with a good choice of options. Simple food prepared very well. The staff were pleasant, attentive and service was quick. Would go again.

We’ve been here a few times as we use it as a base for a dog walk and then lunch or a drink. It’s always been lovely. The staff are friendly and the food is great. Atmosphere always great and they welcome dogs.

6 of us went tonight and the meal was lovely. Each of us only picked 2 of the 3 courses available and tbh it was a good call as the portions were a good size. Food was tasty and service attentive. Good selection of drinks too. Great atmosphere even though we were tucked away in a corner.

We came here out of sure chance being in the area for personal reasons. We fancied a pub lunch and happened to stubble across this little beaut, the food was amazing and great portion sizes let alone the children’s food which they kindly put the uneaten food in a “doggy bag” to take with us. What impressed us the most was along with the standard colouring in for children they also had Lego (total win for our child) as well as other little bits and board games. This changed our total eating experience as parents of a 4 year old which can often be stressful, also to note the price of the food was very reasonable and it’s dog friendly offering towels for soggy dogs, water bowls and dog biscuits.

A very pleasant venue - warm and welcoming on a cold November day. Interesting menu made a choice difficult. Chicken curry, mushroom and spinach lasagne and bubble-and-squeak were all excellent. Cherry pie dessert likewise. Local beer was available. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the food and drinks. Pub lunches don't get much better than this!

A great dog friendly pub, lovely garden area and views. Very welcoming pub with nice staff and food lots of walks around the area

We went for a family Sunday lunch.

Held a lunch here for nearly 50 O.A.P's. Staff were most friendly & welcoming. All our tables were reserved & we filled the entire pub ! Everyone ate off the menu, which was varied & priced reasonably. There were hold-ups from the kitchen, but only to be expected when so many place orders all at once. As the organiser no-one complained to me ! There were only two draught ales on tap & personally I would have preferred one more as neither were really to my taste. Large car park & the pub is set in really nice countryside. GOOD TIP : Do mind your head inside : LOW CEILINGS !

Nothing pretentious about the pub, run by a lovely couple, kept like a proper pub. Good honest food, good honest drinks and welcoming to all. Family friendly, kids welcome, large garden with play toys for children.

Lovely spot outside of town, large garden, good beer and great burgers. Pub was quite busy but service was efficient. A simple but nice way to finish off the week-end.

Came here on a Sunday lunchtime- was surprised it wasn't busier as the food was excellent and the staff were very good. Lovely atmosphere and reasonably priced - would definitely come again.

I'm a bit wary of ordering Sunday lunch in pubs as far too often it's lukewarm tough meat and pale veg. I ordered a burger and the others had roasts. The burger was good, couldn't fault it, but I got serious food envy when looking at other plates. Then I stole gravy to dunk my chips and wow! Everyone agreed we'd had and excellent lunch.

oh wow!!!!! monday was a blast , great vibe , great food we expected to go down for lunch and have a nce peaceful meal and it turned out we had front row seats to a live music performance. The staff all Seemed so lovely and friendly. It was a nice little

We went to The Black Horse for Sunday lunch over the weekend and it was lovely! Great tasting food, friendly and attentive staff and a pretty and peaceful location. There’s a big garden perfect for summer with an outside bar (not used this time but maybe next time). We will definitely be back again!

Excellent quality food and good portion size. Limited choices but that's not a bad thing, and there were specials, of which the starter, main and dessert were vegan. We can confirm the vegan starter and main were very good. Lovely staff although an additional member might have helped as it took a long time for our table to be cleared. (Chairs could have been more comfortable - they're the wooden ones from churches that have a slot in the back for hymn books.)

I first visited this place with my husband. We’re not local to Chesham so found the place on trip advisor. The staff were so friendly and the food so good that we returned with our family a few days later. Again the food and the service were excellent. Between us we’ve tried a number of dishes from the menu and all were delicious. The team are a credit to the establishment and we will definitely return despite not living too close

Eaten and drank here many times over the last 2 years. A very friendly local boozer with decent food inc great Sunday lunches. Very large garden with overflow burgers/bar outside for busy summer days. Can get a bit raucous if there are too many kids but pick a quieter time and the Black Horse is a great place to go.

We stopped for a quick drink and some lunch after a dog walk.

We stumbled across The Black Horse having looked on tripadvisor for somewhere dog-friendly to eat in an area we’re not familiar with. And what a great find it was. I have coeliacs disease and was reassured by a very knowledgable lady, both on the phone taking my reservation and once we’d arrived, exactly what gluten free options were on the menu and their understanding of cross contamination issues. The food was fantastic, the service attentive and friendly and the pet treats were gladly received by our Labrador! We’ll definitely be back if we’re ever in the area again.

On the way between destinations, we had a couple of hours to kill and had been recommended to The Black Horse.

We went here for lunch yesterday. The boy serving us took an age to bring drinks..the coke on draught was a little flat and the request of a still mineral water seemed to baffle him.

2 flavourless chicken wings, one very dry lollipop kebab, one rack and a half of greasy ribs and loooooooads of tasty chips.......for the extortionate price of £15.

We went early on a warm Sunday evening and sat out under the big parasols. A lovely setting and the grandchildren ran off to play happily with other children their. The dog settled in the shade after her drink of water.

Great food, good pub stuff with decent portions and a varied menu. There's board games and stuff to keep you entertained and the staff are all really friendly. Would recommend

After a long drive to Chesham it was nice stop off for a lunch and get a welcoming service. Food was delicious and very reasonably priced. It would have been nice to sit outside if it was sunny. But we had a nice table to two indoors. Highly recommend.

I visited The Black Horse this evening with my husband. Chesham is fairly local to us and based upon all of the other brilliant reviews we felt compelled to try it. Wow they are not wrong. Even the lady who took my booking was lovely and indeed gave us an ideal table as I had explained to her the I had mobility issues. All of the staff were so friendly and welcoming, there was such a nice atmosphere about the place. Then there of course the food. We had curried parsnip soup from the specials board which was delicious and arrived piping hot with loads of bread and butter. My husband said it was the nicest bowl of soup that he can remember eating. Then I had an Asian trout salad and him the rack of ribs which was all yummy. There is nothing pretentious about this place, just good food cooked extremely well and plenty of it. I don't write reviews about every restaurant that we visit but I wanted to for this one as we had such a lovely evening. Thanks to everyone at The Black Horse, we will be back soon!

Food was served fast. The sweet potato curry I had was tasty, maybe could do with a little spicy kick. My nan's ham, eggs, chips & peas was a very large portion (good for £12 though I suppose). My mum's lamb burger looked really yummy. Loved the rustic, wooden clipboards holding the menus and bill at the end. Pretty flower pots outside. Super friendly, polite & helpful staff. Toilets very small (yes I know it's an old pub). Garden looked huge. Can see why this pub is so popular. :) Will be back again soon.

This is a regular for me, and my favourite place to go to.. the food is always lovely and freshly cooked, and has a generally lovely atmosphere.

Unheard of these days - a busy pub - and it was midweek! They must be getting something right we thought, and they are. The menu offered pretty standard fare but the grub was good, well cooked and tasty. Service was excellent and the pub itself is very nice, well kept and in a lovely spot, which made for a very pleasant midweek lunch with family. If the measure of a good place to eat and drink is that it’s busy, even on a weekday afternoon and that you agree to return, then they’ve done a good job. Recommended.

We came here just before the Easter weekend. Weather was perfect for a country stroll and outdoor drinking.

Being local we’ve eaten there several times. Apart from an unfortunate Mother’s Day lunch on a hot Spring Day where the kitchen and staff appeared to be overwhelmed (possibly a victim of the pub’s own success), the experience has been very good. Food is lovely and the service efficient and friendly. To sit inside in winter you need to book. There is a large garden with views up the Vale and the surrounding hills. It is close to Chesham (about 2 miles from the centre). A visit it recommended and the local awards speak for themselves.

Really lovely country pub, great food, great service, lovely pub garden and some cracking events, highly recommended.

Had dinner here on Saturday night. Everything exceeded expectations: the service was knowledgeable and faultless, the surroundings were cosy and atmospheric (little candles on the tables, exposed brick walls) and the food and drink were delicious. Things that could have been a bit meh in other restaurants were noticeably good: the charcuterie board came with a variety of warm breads and a generous amount of chutney as well as the meats, the vegetable tagine included recognisable vegetables (in some places it's just mush) and just the right amount of spice, the burger was juicy and looked like it had been made by a chef rather than coming out of the frozen section in a wholesaler, and it was served with a little pot of fresh-tasting salsa. Will definitely come back. Wish we'd taken photos of the food but we were too busy enjoying it.

We happened to be driving in the area Friday lunch and stumbled upon this little pub . When we balked it we realised it was not any ordinary pub , it was a pub with great pride. Lovely staff welcomed us from behind the bar and let us choose any table we liked . It was lovely to receive table service . The pie was delicious and my partner had fish and chips . The fish was huge . My chilli was delicious . All washed down by well bodied wine and desserts were yummy . The staff work hard here and ensure they please without being to over attentive. The pub is lovely and clean and I could imagine a winters day sitting by the fire on the way in . Next time I’m there I am definitely trying the ribs . They looked delicious as they passed our table . Highly recommend.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

We recently visited on my son’s 7th birthday as part of a trip to Harry Potter studios. I contacted the Black Horse about booking a table and they really did go the extra mile. Lisa, the general manager was fantastic as we were held up in traffic and she said they would hold the table no problem. They had balloons ready at the table and he had an amazing time.

What a lovely meal. Arrived and was given a lovely table. Waiters and waitresses are really friendly and helpful. Had the beef roast and it was a generous portion and fab yorkshire puddings. Overall a wonderful time, lovely decor, great Food and service. Can’t wait to go back.

staff are always helpful and friendly. has become a go to place for me and the lady. Always got a good number of people in. Food is always really nice and the beer is delicious.

As its such lovely setting and the kids can play outside, we usually sit outside & order food to be eaten outside (never had any issues), however last week unbeknown to us, they weren't serving food outside.

Excellent food(especially the pies),good service and nice atmosphere.

This is the third time i’ve visited here for the monthly vegan night and i’ve never been anything other than overwhelmed by the high standard and quality of the food i’ve received. It always tastes absolutely fantastic and is amongst some of the best food i’ve ever had, vegan or not! Also a massive thank you to matt for being such a welcoming, friendly, and charming host! Couldn’t recommend The Black Horse more :) Thank you for my happy birthday cheesecake !!

Like this place, the food, the drinks, and the service. A nice cosy pub with magic fish and chips ( nice and crispy!) and home made fish pie.

We live nearby and have visited many times. Every meal has been absolutely delicious, the staff are always so friendly (and very welcoming to dogs too!) and this is a real hidden gem of a pub. We’ve been for cosy roasts in winter and great BBQs in summer - would recommend all year round to families, couples and dog owners

We had a lovely meal with friends Friday night great waiting times between Courses food was excellent as always, great service especially from the lady with the lovely short haircut nothing was to much trouble

Visited this lovely pub today with family for the first time and was so impressed with the excellent service and great pub food. The staff were all so friendly and made our lunch time visit really enjoyable. Looking forward to coming back for a Sunday lunch next time!

Great food! Very well cooked from their own production, lovely staff, good service, this is a feedback from me and my friend, was actually blocked on Facebook, but we decided to celebrate with a meal and a pint-:)) but want a meal! best food onthis year so far!

When we arrived nearly 2 hours ago we were told the wait would be 1 hour for food. We agreed to wait and 2 main courses arrived about an hour later. However, we are still waiting for our other 3 meals 45 minutes after this time. We have enquired 3 times about this and 1 young boy came over to say he didn't know why our food hadn't arrived and he would find out. It hasn't been cooked so we are still waiting... We have asked for drinks but these haven't arrived either. One of my children is almost crying with hunger now. They have made me promise never to return here. I have written this review while waiting and still have not been served.

The food was excellent and the staff very helpful. This is a dog friendly pub so if you're not an animal lover you may want to go elsewhere. Otherwise, everything was great.

We have been to the Black Horse many times since moving to Chesham a little over a year ago and we have never been disappointed; it is our favourite pub in the area. The food is reliably tasty and well-priced and the service is invariably friendly and efficient, even in busy days. It’s a lovely place to come in all seasons, with family, friends or as a couple. We’ve taken many people to the Black Horse and spent many an hour there ourselves playing board games or enjoying the good weather in the garden in the summer. The outside barn is also great for watching sport events (though the England World Cup match we watched there in summer 2018 was a little bit hot and sweaty!) while keeping the main pub relatively quiet and uninterrupted with the usual cheers (or groans of disappointment!). Hard to find fault here - except for the three or four times I have forgotten how low the ceilings are and bumped my head coming away from the bar. The charms of an old building!

This is my go to place in Chesham for a lovely lunch / dinner. All the food is fresh and home cooked. Whenever friends come to Chesham, this is the first place I take them to eat.

Beautiful food in a warm and friendly atmosphere. The staff were welcoming and knowledgable, with nothing too much trouble. Definitely worth a visit, especially for anyone with dietary requirements.

My 3 girl friends and I popped by for lunch today, and all I can say was wow! Their service was impeccable and our meals were delicious. We were all impressed about how friendly and attentive the staff were. We will definitely be back soon for another girlie lunch date!

Great food, efficient and friendly service. We’ll be back. It’s a family business with a great understanding of customer care.

Been twice for lunch - separated by 8 months, and each time received warm welcome and really good fresh pub food. We had sandwiches, the next table had burgers and they look great - too.

We came here for a quick spot of lunch not long ago with the family and had a wonderful time. The staff were friendly, attentive and the menu catered for everyone including vegans.
