Old Black Horse Inn in Harborough - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Shame turned up with no food being served but picturesque views and very pleasant decor. Nice pint and friendly staff

First time there and was very impressed with the welcoming atmosphere... Great service and staff

Friendly staff, good atmosphere

Beautiful, traditional country pub idyllic village with incredible food - the roasts were generous and delicious and puddings incredible!! Our huge booking of nearly 20 people went like a dream!

Fabulous menu. Very reasonably priced. Fresh food, great cooking.

Nice pint and polite bar staff.

Always lovely people and nice pub garden.

We went for Mother's Day dinner here, and the food and service were amazing. They even gave all the mums daffodils and a little biscuits with happy mothers' Day on. I would definitely recommend 5*.

Outstanding service and outstanding food. 👏 Compliments to the chef 😊

Good food, excellent portions. Service superb.

Great Sunday roast and lovely staff (Isla) and service Would highly recommend

Great staff, good food but my fish was a bit on the small side. The chips with truffle oil were amazing.

Very relaxing pub.good service and good meals.

Highly recommended village pub for Sunday lunch, you won’t be let down. Visited The Old Black Horse Inn today for a family Sunday Lunch, we were greeted at the bar by a very friendly lady who showed us to our table and took our drinks order. Our drinks arrived promptly along with the Sunday lunch menu’s. There was plenty of options for everyone, 3 different meats (Beef, Lamb and pork), 2 veggie options. Being vegetarian there isn’t always two options for Sunday roast. The meal came as described on the menu, lots of meat/wellington, veggies, Yorkshire pud, roast potatoes and plenty of gravy!!! The meal was outstanding, we were all very impressed. My brother saying it was the best beef roast he’d had in a while. Desserts menu was offered upon clearing our plates, with the waitress giving her recommendations. You can tell the dessert are all hand made. We will be visiting again for sure, and I’ll be recommending to friends.

Came here for a Sunday roast and we were not disappointed. We pre-booked and were seated in the snug by the fire. 2 of us ordered the beef and I ordered the wellington. The portions were amazing, plenty of veg and all meats (and vegan Wellington) delicious! Plenty of parking spaces, but can fill up quickly at busy times! Service was a little slow at times, so we went to pay at the bar, but it was a busy Sunday and the food was worth it. Would definitely return!

Lovely food and the staff were very friendly

Great service but very poor Sunday lunch. Carrots chopped so small you couldn't see them. The only other vegetable was boiled cabbage. Cold cheap Iceland type Yorkshire pud, three roast potatoes and two slices of tough beef. The pig in blanket was small and tasteless, the stuffing was tiny, cheap and nasty. Overall, for the money, I felt ripped off. Not returning.

Had a family Xmas get together in the Black Horse. We had an area set aside for us. Food was fab, couldn’t have asked for more from the BH Team. Thank you!

Fabulous food great atmosphere & top notch service. Highly recommended. Thank you 🥰 xx

Staff were brilliant, and the food was excellent. We had a lovely experience all around. Thoroughly recommend it

Three people for Sunday lunch. We felt immediately welcome by attentive bar staff who were friendly and helpful. Bar staff alerted waiting staff of our presence and they came to invite us through. We were warned of a likely slight delay in service as it was so busy. Orders taken quickly. We were offered more drinks without needing to alert staff. Delay was perfectly reasonable and worth it as the food was fantastic. Lamb was plentiful and so tender. All vegetables were nicely cooked even the cabbage still had a nice firmness. Apple crumble was amazing - not over sweet and the apples really popped still. Absolutely fantastic service throughout - grown ups who know what they are doing and genuinely care. We will be back soon and I suspect often! Easy parking. Beautiful back drop that looks like it has some very nice walking available. Thank you.

Outstanding service and food, really is a hidden little gem.

This pub is better than 5 stars, fantastic Sunday lunch, I would recommend this to all my friends, fantastic 😉

Friendly staff, great service, good atmosphere.

Excellent place! Called in here last night after being let down by another pub, arrived ten minutes before the cut off point for food orders, they catered for 11 of us, lovely fresh cooked food,staff were great, polite and professional, would definitely go here again after after this experience, nice village pub with a good beer garden 👍🏻

Sunday roast lunch - fantastic! This pub has really improved since our last visit a few years ago. Great atmosphere and great food (and very, very nice staff). When the weather's nice, the outside view is georgous across the fields as well.

Attended a reggae night. The food was delicious and fresh. The entertainment was great. Service from the staff highly recommended.

Went for lunch with some friends. Never been there before but was made to feel so welcome I could have been one of the locals. Food was beautiful. Excellent service from all the staff. The whole afternoon was fantastic. Really would recommend this place to everyone.

Awesome pub, great Sunday roast! Dog friendly indoor and out, plenty of seating in both areas. Deserts are amazing!

Really tasty steak pie and fish pie. Tasted home made and delish. Friendly staff and atmosphere. Sensibly priced too. Very pleased.

Sadly diminished, this once fine pub is lacking in many ways. Food on a Saturday was limited to "cheesy chips" . Three beers were not available despite pumps showing on the bar. I can't see the current managers lasting long with this level of service

A good Inn for all ages with children's facilities outside.

Camping 30 minutes walk away so needed a refreshing pint or 3 really nice cheesy chips. Also dog friendly. 🚐😎

Nice time with good food in comfortable surroundings. Welcoming, attentive staff who made our evening.

Me and my partner stumbled across the old black horse inn following a trip to Rutland Water. Absolutely gorgeous roast dinners were enjoyed! I had the beef and it was delicious. My partner had the chicken. Could have spent the entire afternoon enjoying the pub's lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend

Warm friendly atmosphere helpful staff and lovely food will come again

Booked a table for three today for lunch . Not much of a welcome & told to find our own table. Not difficult as only one other occupied. Very disappointing menus with not very much choice at all . We ordered Lamb & Red Wine Pie with Chips & Veg & Gravy . Warmed up soggy pastry from previous evenings Pie Night . Frozen Chips & frozen peas covered in warmed up Gravy . Deserts on offer were something I cannot remember & Christmas Pudding . Have eaten here on & off over the years as a popular place to meet . Won’t be meeting anyone here again . Had we not been meeting a friend for lunch then I would have made my complaints at the time .

Absolutely incredible place! The food portions and quality are insanely good for what you pay, and it's such an amazing atmosphere for dinner. 10/10 Will definitely return with friends.

Absolutely Beautiful pub! we had sunday dinner here today, me and my partner said it was the best sunday dinner we've had, such lovely food i cannot rate this enough! the desert was absolutely lovely too! definitely reccomend the chocolate orange cookie if your into terrys chocolate orange! Booking in again this month for my mums birthday. Thankyou so much!

Welcoming atmosphere, fire on and serve coffee as well as alcohol. Nice and snug on a cold winter's night.

Food was absolutely phenomenal! I would have to recommend the Sunday lunch it’s amazing. Staff were friendly and helpful with every need. Will be back soon.

Pie night 👍👍👍 great midweek meal

10/10 Sunday dinner!!!! service was great even though they was really busy!

Sunday lunch for six adults and a 2 year-old. Superb. Best I can recall. Very generous portions. They even supplied tub of Golden Syrup with the extra Yorkshire pudding. Then amazing ice creams. Excellent service. Thank you all at the OBH on a very special day for our family.

Great pub, lovely food, friendly staff.

Beautiful typical English Pub in the countryside

Popped in to this cozy pub to try and get some food. Sadly the kitchen wasn’t open, the brilliant lady behind the bar spoke with the chef who opened the kitchen early and provided us with some excellent food. Lovely atmosphere, lovely warm open fire and dog friendly!

Nice cosy pub food quite good staff very pleasant.

We called in for a Saturday family lunch and had a lovely time at this warm and welcoming pub. Dog friendly, an open fire and great value food. We'll definitely visit again.

It was a lovely warm and friendly pub. The food was 5 star. I was one of the medium on the 8. 11. 22

We attended Wednesday Pie Night yesterday. My veggie partner had Cauliflower Cheese pie, one of their new veggie offerings, and I had Lamb and Rosemary, both with chips, though mash, prepared by Amanda's mum, is also available. Both were fab, perfectly cooked cauliflower and 'cheesy' sauce. The Lamb was obviously good quality, really tender, and perfectly enhanced by the right amount of rosemary. Side veg was again perfectly cooked and the chips were lovely and crisp. Great value too at £12 which, includes a pint! Highly recommended, already booked for next week!

Always a pleasure eating at this local pub. Great Sunday lunch pleasant atmosphere.

Nice place 😎 Highly recommended 🎉

It seems popular with the locals and for functions. They've made an effort with the back garden. The fascinating and highly accessible French sport of boules is played here

The pub is really lovely and the staff are super polite and friendly. However, the food we had was below average. The 'poutine' had little to no cheese and so was essentially chips and gravy and the baguettes were poor quality with scant fillings and limp, wilted salad.

Lovely village pub, friendly helpful staff and owners. Outside seating available, ample parking too.

An absolute darling little pub with great beer garden, lots to explore for the little ones. Decor is very nice, not overly stuffed with bric-a-brac and every wall and corner has something to look at. Food, the chilli chips and cheese and red onion chutney sandwich, are portioned well. The chilli and the onion chutney made in house, fresh.

Amazing food! Warm welcoming staff will be returning very soon

Called in and had Sunday lunch. Menu a little plain but food was lovely. Staff very nice, well worth a visit

Nice selection of drinks, large garden too

Recently taken over by some fantastic owners who have injected a true country family pub feeling into the place! The menu is fantastic and offers the classic fayre of traditional food as well as common favourites. They have a huge garden with child play areas and a comfortable interior with a well sized restaurant. Recommended for both family and walkers who would like a true experience of a country pub.

New owners bringing fresh faces and a slight change but keeping it your local. Food not available just yet but will be very soon. Great atmosphere considering how short a time it has been open

Beautiful country pub in Houghton. Gorgeous views of rolling countryside in beer garden. We'll worth a visit.

It was very busy when we first went in. Lots of people having meals. Bustling . Obviously a very popular place. It is our local and a bit unhappy that the landlord is leaving at the end of june. We will be sorry to see them go. New landlords now. Went in yesterday. No food yet but looking forward to a meal. Hope all goes well.

Delicious roast today, fabulous atmosphere! We’ll be back :-)

No wine menu, poor selection & food quality really disappointed

Excellent Sunday roast with really welcoming staff. Came here as a walk in and we will certainly be booking back in. The food was cooked so well. My husband had beef and I had pork and both had amazing flavour. The roast potatoes did not disappoint either, best I've had with a meal out. The cheese cake is homemade and was a delight to finish the meal off. Overall an excellent experience.

This pub is wonderful, very cosy atmosphere with really friendly staff. The Sunday roast is the best we have had in a long time! (26th Sept)

The food gave me and my partner food poisoning. We will never eat there again.

Great pub, innovative landlord, good food. Highly recommended.

All though there was only one lady taking food orders and serving she was friendly and professional and didn't appear fazed, the service was excellent as was the food.I would highly recommend the Old Black Horse

Lovely pub with a nice garden for kids

Nice meals lovely location. Great staff

Went to a wedding reception. Plenty of parking. Food good and a good selection. Unhurried. Staff very pleasant

Lovely setting, great service, warm and welcoming.

Friendly service and good food..always a pleasure to visit

Nice pub in the outskirts of Leicester which offers a large garden area to enjoy your drinks and meal in the sun as well as a large area inside. The pub also has it's own car park which is helpful. Be mindful that if you do decide to sit outside, there is a slightly limited menu available compared to their inside menu (limited to their pub classics and a few other stuff). Overall, the options of drinks were good for beers on tap, and also their food options are what you would expect - decently priced and we'll portioned. Their staff were friendly and helpful when we couldn't decide what to eat, giving us suggestions of their favourite dishes, which was helpful. Would recommend if you're passing the area or just fancy a nice pub with a lot of open space to enjoy your drinks in the sun.

Great authentic service. Good food.

Lovely beer garden and good food Staff friendly and professional Worth a visit

Beautiful garden, excellent food, friendly staff and attentive service. We had a really lovely Sunday lunch here, would highly recommend.

A1 fantastic place food was amazing

Good service, good beer, great decor.

Due of the conditions we face from day to day they have arranged the perfect solution. Drink, Eat and be Merry. Save environment for families and friends. STAY SAFE.

We sat in the garden and had a drink and a pizza from the mobile pizza oven. The garden overlooks fields with sheep and lambs and horses. Outdoor lighting was lovely, plenty of tables all well spaced out.

Don't drink have brain tumor 4 years now

We asked the Old Black Horse Inn if they would provide us with a work Christmas Lunch and they gave us two very festive options; Turkey roast or a festive afternoon tea. We ordered a number of each and they delivered it on time and the food was loved all round! Thanks for providing a great lunch, from all at M W Vehicle Contracts.

Friendly and welcoming staff in a nice relaxed atmosphere, great place to take kids with the outside area and animals. Perfect in the summer and they do excellent food!

Lovely and polite staff members. Covid safety precautions taken very seriously :)

Me and my wife had lunch there and it was really good. There was absolutely nothing you could fault about the meal. Everything was perfectly cooked. We had Scallops which we shared to start then she had lamb shoulder and I had Fish, which was the catch of the day. 5 Stars for sure. If I were to try to find something negative it would be that the temperature inside was a bit cooler than I expected. I had on jeans, t shirt and a jumper but was tempted to put my coat on. But hey, maybe the recent temp drop caught them out, who knows. But that's me trying to find something negative out of what was pretty much perfect.

Really good pub, sat in the beer garden with table service by using the qr code so no going to the bar and felt very safe. Had a excellent pint of Tiger!

Really nice pub after a long walk, in a lovely little village. The food was really nice, we had burgers and they were great. The place is really clean and well presented and the lady that served us was very friendly and helpful. Hope to go back soon on one of my next walks.

Take away tonight was absolutely delicious. Perfection! Great food delivered fast.

Had my nans wake here and they was brilliant very friendly and nice

Lovely cream tea this afternoon.

Best Lime & Soda in Leicestershire .

Great village pub, fantastic atmosphere and very well ran!

Fabulous place, great atmosphere and food

Went there to watch their fireworks, nice night very busy hard to get served at the bar outside hard to get to the bar inside because of a group of people people insisted on sitting at the bar making it far more crowded than it should have been, there were empty tables in there away from the bar but were not there used

The meal was super We saw the new arrival not very old Thanks again for the attention your staff did for us

Had a great night, very welcoming atmosphere. Definitely going again
