Black Horse Public House Bean in Dartford

I had to ask if I had to pay the car park but if I had drink in the pub I didn't.Enjoyed a 1/2 pint shandy and watching the Olympics. Good place for watching sport. Then had non alcoholic drink. The pub was clean and they were organizing the pub for a party.

Attended a family function here and was really pleased with what The Black Horse staff had done in making it a lovely evening. The bar staff were attentive and helpful, the prepared food was pretty good and the outdoor area nicely done - even though a bit on the cold side. Thank you.

Pub is fairly dated, toilet floor and toilet itself was covered in urine. Also found ants everywhere. However have a good back garden and loads of tvs can’t have it all

Nice atmosphere, small pub. Just went in for a couple pints but everyone friendly there

Great pub for sports. Has tnt and sky sports, must be ten tvs in there. GREAT atmosphere. Pub well run, friendly staff. Has a pool table and dart board there. COYI!

Absolutely brilliant pub that we visited in a long while. It is recently renovated, so it all chic and neat. The staff were very friendly and chatty. The parking lot signage says PayByPhone- however, if drinking/eating at the pub- just register yourself on the tab upon entering- and there is no need to pay for parking. The pub has multiple televisions- perfect for sports/football matches. They also have slot machines/ dart and a pool table (what else can one ask for). The back garden is hugeeee, and spacious- with plenty of wooden benches. Lovely pub, great staff, neat-clean vibe- we will definitely visit again.

Great atmosphere it's my new hang out brilliant service and friendly run by a. You lad who knows how important customers service is to people brilliant

Fabulous little village pub. Great, friendly service. Loads of events with bands and disco’s. Well worth a visit. 😁

Would love it if they cooked and served food .

Loved the pub after playing golf and going for some drinks, great ambience and friendly staff and good choice of drinks. Unfortunately just received a parking ticket for parking at the pub. I saw no signs and was not directed to anywhere in the pub to put my details in. So upset.

The new owners need to update the information to show they don't currently serve food, having said that, the lady serving at the bar was friendly and helpful and it did seem a nice place if you just wanted a drink

Had a magical time, slow danced with a man called James who apparently was 50.

We came for brunch on the way to Margate, but they don't do food since new owners earlier this year, we did stay for a drink and were recommended another place by another customer

I’m a driver and i went to pick up customer from parking I stayed for 5 minutes and they send me £100 ticket i asked them to consider my appeal i’m not making that much money that they send a penalty for 5 minutes but they refused. I’ll try to send on all the groups so everyone knows their real face.

The new management was excellent. Forst time visiting but really enjoyed how vibrant the atmosphere was and how welcoming all staff was to both adults and children.

Friendly staff, nice beer garden

Very friendly place and the staff was very welcoming.

Under new management. Check it out.

Great service lovely food and bitter. Decor is a bit weird but pub overall is a gooden and now under new management will get the custom it deserves.

Good beer and great pub food. Beware of the parking in the car park, it is free if you are going into the pub, you need log in on the screen device inside the pub for a free stay. .

Food was just about okay. Owner thought he was being funny when in reality he was really unpleasant, particularly to small children. Wouldn't go back.

Local pub. Great food. A proper pub

I wasn't sure what to expect from reading the reviews but I can't fault this pub at all. Had Scampi, chips & peas as part of their Friday Specials with a free pint! Would definitely go back and recommend this pub!

Fantastic food! Just had a lovely ribeye on a very full yet delicious plate. Good service and not badly priced for the quality of food. Will come again

Very friendly staff and great atmosphere.

Nice pub with good, well priced food.

Great pub, lovely beer, great people great prices. This place does not charge for parking, you go in and enter your reg on the system for free. See till to try the food but looking forward to it. We go out of our way to visit this pub on our way home from other works because it's one of the best in the area

I used to go in here every day after work in the nineties its change a lot ,but still a friendly place, but I wish pubs wouldn't charge for parking

The decor makes the place feel clinical and unwelcoming although the staff were pleasant and did their best to make us comfortable. There are some excellent value meal choices. I had a steak sandwich: delicious sour dough bread containing unremarkable steak.

Just been to the pub had a lovely meal nice stake done to how I like it misses had chicken and mash peas lovely- jubly would definitely recommend this place

Very bad. Had to wait 2.30 hours for the meal, and when we got eventually it wasn't that good 👎 Don't wast your time.

Just enjoyed a really nice roast beef dinner, couldn't fault it & service was really good too

The food delayed for nearly 2hrs

Will be beter when restrictions are over.

Very much a locals pub doing its best. Good guiness.

never had a meal there not After going to the stinking toilet take a gas mask with you .Landlord very Unpleasant and very rude give it a miss its rubbish

Fantastic local family pub and garden

Great burger and Nacho's in a very pleasant garden

Good food good beer good food what can you ask for in a pub

Nice atmosphere and good reasonably priced food.

A local pub with a modern refurb. Clean crisp with a good lick of paint, the pub is open light and airy. Lots of parking with no issues. A friendly welcome with a choice of seating, we choose the rear restaurant over looking the garden which has been refurbished. Nice solid tables which were clean and clear. Our waitress was lovely and personable who have us all the time we needed and gave recommendations for dinner. All 4 of us had the different roast dinners and hands down can say they were the best roast dinners we've had in a very long time, they were just like 'round ya nans' cooking. Propa potatoes and propa gravy and you each get a jug so no skimping. The portions were just right, you didn't feel bloated and had room for dessert. The chicken was moist, the beef was soft, the lamb was tender. None of it was tough or fatty. But I now must mention dessert, we all had a crumple pie... Wow! I highly recommend the banoffee apple crumple pie lathered in hot custard. (didn't get a chance for a pic lol) The locals in the pub were friendly and courteous, I'd feel comfortable spending the afternoon here for a few beers. All in all we enjoyed our visit here and would recommend going here to eat with friends. Much better than going to a chain pub. It's the sort of pub I'd want as my local....

Best steak I've had in a long time! Looks amazing now they've refurbished it...well worth a visit

Visited for lunch with friends - very varied menu with plenty of choice and everything we wanted was available. Friendly service and well presented food. 4 very nice main meals with drinks for £50 - well worth a visit

Great effort by the owners to keep the decor updated. Nice Dartford wobbler mild on draught

We were a group of walkers on a circular walk from Swanscombe, and stopped here for lunch. Several locals at the bar greeted us somewhat raucously, and I was even accused of being Ronnie Corbett ( I'm not, and Ronnie's dead! ). The barmaid was friendly, the beer was excellent, and the banter with the other drinkers continued throughout our stay. The food was basic pub grub, but freshly cooked, and generously portioned, and we all enjoyed our lunch.

Proper traditional pub with a good selection of real ale. First time we’ve been here and the staff made us feel very welcome. Quality of the food was excellent, much better and cheaper than you’ll find in any nearby chain pub.

Fantastic burgers and T. Bone steak today. Very reasonable price.

Very friendly pub service was good .

Nice friendly staff, reasonably priced food, they do Sunday lunch, big beer garden and they have a stage for bands.

We ate Cod and chips and it was better than Wetherspoons. We really appreciated the service and ate in the beer garden where is was quieter and more exclusive. There’s a stage with lighting rig out the back for gigs. It’s quite an interesting pub. Make of it what you will but it’s a locals pub with truck loads of potential so if you’re just passing through, why be so negative GO to Wetherspoons! This pub, after a few visits has grown on me and I shall be eating here again. The menu offers lots of choice but don’t expect instant service as there is usually one staff member doing everything during the early evening. Take your time and relax. Check out Saturday Nites the house band every month. They usually pull in a fun crowd.

Village pub. Landlord friendly. Nice atmosphere. Got a stage outside for entertainment i.e bands playing.

Friendly local pub basic but nice food

Having recently moved nearby our friends wanted somewhere to meet up and have dinner with friends and family. The only thing that greeted them on arrival was a strange smell. It didn’t take long to realise the place was not clean. If the public area looks that grotty . . . Barman has no customer service/people skills and was not bothered when we left. In capable hands it could do very well and become a popular meeting place for local groups and residents in the area. As it is it will remain unclean and unloved by staff and customers alike.

if your looking for a relaxing drink and a talk don't go to this pub. the landlord is a very rude and very unpleasant man ... its a dirty pub the bar and bar pumps are very dirty . if you go to the mans toilets Take a gas mask with you better off having a pee in the garden . the youngsters don't come in anymore for a drink .all over the unpleasant landlord .it was so nice to see young blood in the pub . when Ann had the pub it was a happy pub . not now with this landlord/ the brewery must be losing a lot of money at this pub / pass it bye if you want a relaxing paint

Lovely staff but food was awful

Visited this pub for the first and last time today. Having waited for sometime for the bar attendant to show his face we were told in no uncertain terms that there was no food available, the staff member then turned his back on us muttering something under his breath. The bar area smelled strongly of disenfectant (reminding me of a public toilet) so I was not really too bothered about the lack of food as eating in there would have been unbearable.

Visited the Black Horse last night to find a variety of new menus I had the tapas menu which was excellent mussels and Tampas prawns my husband had the chops which were good value for money. They now do sharing platters which look very inviting. We will certainly eat there again well done Colin

There's a fine choice of great beers; plus there's a good atmosphere and the locals are friendly.

6 of us arrived for their advertised Sunday BBQ and live band. As we walked in felt very uncomfortable as felt we were gatecrashing something even though no other customers were there as it was just after midday. Sat in the garden which had beer cans everywhere from the night before. Husband went to bar for drinks and to order some food and was met with hostility. Told him food hadn't been started yet and so ordered a few bottled beers but unfortunately they were warm as obviously they had only just bottled up even though it was opening Sunday hours. A few local people started arriving who the staff seemed to know and we got the sense we were not welcome and left. Would much rather throw our money elsewhere. All in all don't bother going it is not a proper pub.

Great garden with live entertainment with a bbq Totally enjoyed the evening, will return soon

Beer was good, choice of three real ales. Visited on a Wednesday lunchtime (very little choice for food) and it was empty. Quaint enough but desperately in need of some restoration.

Lovely warm welcome, and good music.

Ignore this pub looking a bit tired I have just had the best Rib eye steak since the one I had in Paris utterly superb and the beers good too we would highly recommend this place

This pub bit out the way for us but we travel for a good meal . there a bear garden round the back you can go for a drink and a meal it's better than the beef eater for a pub the food is lovely 12 ounce steak just how you like it the pub got good atmosphere for only 13 pound 12 ounce steak chips peas onion rings mushroom it's well worth a visit everything we had from the menu was yum. Shame it wasn't closer to us we be there more .

First rate entertainment and fair priced drinks

Muy grosero hombre del bar, protagonizado por en mis amigos y yo toda la noche haciéndonos sentir muy incómoda. Whispering de otro miembro del personal y apuntando a nosotros. Me amenazó con no sirven después de agitar él de una manera amable y feliz. Echaron antes de las 23:00. No he probado la comida de aquí, pero no un pub agradable- sentimos que este pub es sólo para la gente". Fue cuando nos miraran caminando en por la gente local. No volveremos!!!!

Mientras cerca decidimos entrad en el Black Horse Public House, poroto, Kent. No estaba muy lleno, pero la gente era muy amable y hablador. El pub les vendría bien un poco de redecoración pero estaba limpia y ordenada. El personal era servicial y atento.

Was invited to attend a baby shower which was hosted here. From the outside you don't have high expectations of the place, and the inside certainly feels very old which can be nice, but the decor leaves a lot to be desired. I get the feeling the crowd are very local. However things improve drastically outside in their beer garden which is really lovely on a sunny day. With a dedicated smoking area that looks more like a little barn, outside circular bar, and benches and grassy areas, along with a nice relaxed seating area with comfortable outdoor chairs it's a real credit to the place, and I will definitely keep it in mind for sunny drinking days!

Stopped by for lunch. A party of 3 ordered lunch. And lets just say it was pretty terrible. Reheated and not fresh. ILL for days after eating there. Still ill now as i type this. Avoid this place for lunch at all costs

Great meeting venue. Friendly staff and welcoming locals

Nos hemos asistido a nuestro representante el alubias negras de caballos en numerosas ocasiones y he comido allí. La comida es tan razonable y el diciendo que se obtiene lo que se paga no se aplica oír. La comida es de buena calidad y me sorprende no es más concurrido. El bistec noche y noches de curry son perfectos, pero sus carnes son tan razonable no genial cualquier día de la semana. Hay ofertas especiales y comida de pub si quieres comer en el bar o en el restaurante para comidas más formales. Es una pena que no hay más gente no usar lo que está en su puerta. Hay un dicho uso ni perder. Al haber perdido el único otro pub en Bean sería una pena s si se pierde esta. Lo recomiendo si lo que quieres es una comida fabulosa a un precio razonable que se sabroso no romper el banco prueba el caballo negro no te vas a arrepentir. El propietario Colin es un olor agradable. Es agradable ver que había alguien sensato detrás del bar que ir.

Good beer. Good selection. Good atmosphere

a little apprehensive £10.99 seemed too cheap for a ribeye steak. i needn't have been.food was very well cooked. one of the best steaks i've ever had. service was good but pub was pretty quiet.certainly deserves to be busier.

Fui a El Black Horse con mi familia en 12/10/2014. He Recientemente he trasladado a la zona y unas pocas personas habían recomendado ir al pub para un domingo asado. Esto lo hicimos en la 12° pero eran un poco preocupada porque había sido informado...
