The Black Boy in Harborough

We visited here last night for my sons 18th birthday. The service, the food, the atmosphere was absolutely amazing and it totally made his birthday so special. The owners decorated everywhere up with banners and a balloon I had dropped off and nothing was too much trouble. The food was spectacular and freshly made which is always nice, fantastic choice of food at a very reasonable price. We will definitely be returning and will highly recommend this beautiful establishment to all our friends and family. Mark and Rachel should be proud of this beautiful gem of a pub they have created as it is just such a wonderful little hidden treasure. We will hopefully see you again very soon. Thanks for making Jake's 18th birthday so special and one to remember :)

We visited here last night for a 40th birthday meal. We all thoroughly enjoyed it, the food was fantastic, freshly cooked and not mass produced pub food you get so often these days. It was also very reasonable. There was a nice homely atmosphere and the service was good. We will definitely be returning!

A lovely country pub with really good pub grub and reasonably priced. Great selection. Good service. Nice environment. Looking forward to going again.

Came with my parents for an early evening meal and we were welcomed by very friendly staff. Lovely clean pub with good choice of food reasonably priced. We had a lovely meal and my dad said that his steak & ale pie was the best meal he had eaten for a while. Very attractive outside seating area. Will definitely return.

Went to Ashy Arms last night with my 3 brothers . Staff and service was first class with a friendly welcome and attentive service . A varied menu at reasonable prices . The actual food delivered was presented really nice and tasted top notch . Cooked to perfection. It’s not a 5 star stuffy restaurant but a lovely decked out country pub with a nice casual atmosphere. We will def return .

Small country pub with lots of characters, delicious food and very good service. I had the ‘seafood starter sharer’ as my main and it was delicious. My husband had a sea bass dish which was beautiful but small portion of fish. Good selection of desserts too.

This is an amazing little pub in the countryside, the food is excellent and the staff are friendly, me and my wife come regularly and can’t think of a better place to come for a quality meal and drinks. I’d recommend this place to anyone

We stopped in at the Ashby Arms with our dogs whilst walking in the area. The staff were very welcoming and we had a special area where we could sit inside with the dogs. We had sandwiches for our lunch and these were excellent. We will certainly be going to this pub again.

My friend and I visited this nice country pub for Sunday lunch today. We turned up last minute, without a booking and the lovely guy behind the bar said he would see what he could do to get us a table (they were really busy at this point). We were told they could squeeze us in and we got a lovely table near the fireplace. Service was really good, prompt and very friendly by the lady serving us. The roast beef was beautiful and lots of it, served with perfectly cooked roast potatoes and a Yorkshire and plenty of piping hot vegetables. They had some fabulous desserts to chose from, both of which we choose were outstanding. I’ve been here a few times now and it’s always been fantastic. It was my friends first time and she absolutely loved it. We can’t wait to return!

Visit the Ashby Arms regularly, always a warm welcome especially now the fires are lit! Excellent food great portions you won’t go hungry lovely specials we enjoyed the Steak and Mushrooms Pie very crisp pastry the Sea Bass special had great flavour and Lambs Liver was delicious We have already booked next week, the Mussels special night and Christmas Dinner

Always we have had a lovely meal at the Ashby Arms (previously the Black Boy) Prices are not cheap, but worth every penny . The food is varied, extensive, and hot. Also they will gladly swap around the dishes to your preference. Quality of food is excellent.

We asked for a plate of veg and all the trimmings . Some places look at you like you're a weirdo just because you fancy a traditional Sunday plate but without meat, yes they do...so for all those people in the same boat, go to this pub,the food is delicious , the staff are very friendly and obliging, the plate of veg was hot, fresh and delicious and plenty of it. Fabulous meal and very satisfying. Will make this my go to pub from now on if I don't fancy cooking on a Sunday, especially in the winter...very cosy.

Excellent staff, excellent food with a wide varied menu. Service was very very good. Will certainly go there again.

Sunday lunch for the second time and just as good. The pub is in a beautiful rural location. Inside a nice relaxed serene atmosphere, people eating and some just drinking. Excellent service, plenty of space, great value bearing in mind the portion sizes. The only very slight criticism was my partner's beef was a bit tough and my liver a tad over done but we still eat everything, it was very nice. Having regularly visited country pubs in the county, this one still tops the list.

We ate at the Black Boy on Sat 11th. We had Black Pudding and Salmon Starters, Fish Pie and Chicken Risotto, Pint of beer. Glass of Merlot and two glasses of White wine. Food was perfectly cooked and presented, service efficient without being rushed. The bill was for £58:85. All was perfect, the Black Boy is highly recommended. Paul Reynolds..

Visited here on a walk. It had a lovely big beer garden out front so we decided to stop for drinks. Very friendly staff and a lovely selection of drinks and snacks. Would definitely visit here again if in the area.

We ate at the Black Boy on Sat 5th. We had Black Pudding and Goats cheese starters, Fish Pie and Beef Lasagne Mains. Gin and Tonic, White wine and two Beers, All was perfectly cooked and presented, Service was efficient but not rushed. All was well. The bill was for £51:85. Good to be back at one of our favorite Saturday Night eateries. Paul Reynolds.

This is a very nice pub with great food and great staff-they manage the whole covid 19 process very well. Its a family pub and the ploughmans that I tasted was delicious as was the shepherds pie. Of particular note the weekly changing creme brulee for those with a sweet tooth. The Pub is in a lovely area if you like walks etc.

We have been to The Black Boy many times and it does not disappoint they have managed to cope with the awkward times with the virus and make you feel safe but still have an enjoyable meal The service is friendly and efficient and the food is always excellent I would recommend to anyone

Ate at the Black Boy on Saturday 15th. — We had four starters, Whitebait, Stilton mushrooms, Goats cheese and Salmon — Chicken, Fish Pie and two Cod special mains. — Bottle of House White wine and four beers - Bill was for £108. All was perfect, Service was efficient without being rushed, All the food was perfectly cooked and presented. The whole eating out experience was a pleasure. We have missed our Saturday night outings, The Black Boy have conformed to guidelines without it being intrusive. Overall a very successful evening. Paul Reynolds.

This is a favourite lunch venue. The well presented dishes are delicious. We are served by Mark & Rachel who give a warm, friendly welcome.

Went here for a weekend lunch because it served vegetarian options and had real ale, and we weren't disappointed. We had baked camembert, nice and simple and served with delicious bread, plus chips, which were home-made and crispy. The beer was good too. Everyone around us seemed to be enjoying their meals and staff were also accommodating to a family and their three young children. Would definitely go back.

We eat there quite regularly and have never been disappointed.There is always a very varied menu, always cooked served well . The owners and staff are always very pleasant.

We ate at the Black Boy on Sat 5th January. We had Goats Cheese and Black Pudding Starters, Fish Pie and Salmon Mains. 1 X G/T, 1 X Beer and 1 X Bottle of Pinot. All the food was of excellent quality, perfectly cooked and presented, The portions were generous. Service was prompt without being rushed. The bill was for £60:90. We both thoroughly enjoyed our evening at the Black Boy. Paul Reynolds.

Very nice village pub- good decor, cosy with open fires. Food good quality and decent prices. Staff friendly and attentive. Would recommend.

A friend wanted to treat us to a lunch at this pub which he uses frequently and therefore recommended. The surroundings were comfortable and I enjoyed the open fire. There was no printed menu so we chose from the blackboard. Our friend recommended the duck so that was my choice. Fortunately it was served with a steak knife because i would have struggled to cut it otherwise. It was tough to say the least but naturally waited for my host who had chosen the same to comment. At no time did anyone ask us if our meal was OK so it was at the end of the course that our host commented on the meal. The waiter said he would pass our comment on but seemed unconcerned we weren't satisfied. As a guest I was not able to take the matter further myself.

Warm cosy pub clean and well decorated good food great menu and service easy parking nice out doors area

Excellent pub food in a cosy atmosphere. Friendly staff and a big menu. Reasonably priced. 2 friends had salmon and 2 had steak. All meals cooked really well.

Plenty of outside seating and good choice of soft drinks. Can be busy at times. We were delighted to see horses in the car park.

We ate at the Black Boy on 27th July. -- We had Black Pudding Salad and Cooked cheese starters, I had a Beef Pie main which was fine, Christine ordered a Moroccan Spiced Lamb Casserole, This was a well cooked and presented, however it appeared to lack a vital ingredient " Lamb ". on questioning the waiter he retreated to the kitchen and on his return advised us that we had been served a Bean Casserole in error. ( There was no Bean Casserole on the Menu ) We had one beer, one gin/tonic and two glasses of wine. The bill was for £51:10. Overall a little dissapointing. Not up to the usual high standards, Paul and Christine Reynolds.

We ate at the Black Boy on Saturday 11th May, While scrutinizing the menu we sat in the Bar area and were entertained by a delightful French Bulldog. We both had cooked cheese starters, Fish Pie and Gammon mains. One Vodka and Tonic, One Beer and a bottle of House White Wine. The bill was for £60. -- Service was impeccable, Food portions were generous, well cooked and presented. The Black Boy is highly recommended -- Paul & Christine Reynolds.

This pub has a lovely feel of a country pub without the need to be dark and full of ornaments - it still feels cosy but with a modern twist. It has a small drinking area but is more about the wonderful food.

Came here with my wife, it’s a small country pub at its best! Very friendly and nostalgic! If you don’t know what dessert to go for they have a sharing option of 5 different ones! Fantastic idea

Have visited a number of times over the last six months and each time we are never disappointed. The food is home cooked and interesting and not microwaved mush that you get in so many pubs. Prices are realistic so you feel that you are getting good value for money. Wine list could be a little more exciting but we always manage to find something that is acceptable! Nice atmosphere

I have been here a few times now, lunch and Sunday lunch and every time it has been a great experience with nice food and good service, staff really friendly and prices reasonable for nice homecooked dishes,

I visited today with my 8 year old son. We were welcomed by a lovely friendly lady who found us a table close to an open fire. We both had Sunday lunch and both were lovely. Cooked for us! Fine dining- not warmed up mush. Will definitely return but I do advise booking. Real food.

Family run and first class dining experience. You need to book weekends, and Friday evenings. Wide range of food available, all ages catered for.

I am a member of a walking group, meet8ng once a month. This time we parked at the Black Boy, completed a 5 + mile walk and then enjoyed a convivial and delicious lunch. Everyone in our group commented how tasty the lunch had been. Not sure about the number of seats, but space in the restaurant is limited.

Visited here for Sunday lunch after a long absence and really enjoyed myself. Everything about the Black Boy is first class, a real hidden gem, and well worth calling in, although worth checking if they have availability as it is popular.

Food was excellent. I had the cod loin which was perfectly cooked. (Often fish is overcooked!) Food was served promptly and was beautifully presented.

Relaxing and good food not very good at writing reviews or eating out but enjoyed the meal and felt relaxed

It was our 37th wedding anniversary and we decided to go to the black boy as a treat as we have been there before and always found it excellent.

The Black Boy is one of our regular Saturday night eateries, On this occasion we entertained friends, As usual the service and food were all excellent, We had 2 Smoked Salmon, Whitebait and Black pudding Starters, Fish Pie, Gammon, Shepard's Pie and Haddock Mains, 2 beers, Prosecco, Campari and 2 bottles of house wine. The Bill was for £123:05. We all enjoyed our evening, The Black Boy is highly recommended. Paul and Christine Reynolds.

We have being to The Black Boy a few times, and always had a good meal, unfortunately on this occasion we ordered duck it was very dry and tough, we ate it as we were hungry, but kept on thinking it would get better but it didn't, when we said something the waiter apologised, but the owner never said a word to us, it was his none response that was disappointing, he didn't want to know, we didn't want to make a fuss, so paid our bill and left they took £1.95 off the bill,(an insult, didn't do it to get the money off would rather of had a nice meal) we will not be going back there again. all we wanted was a response from the owner, its his loss. will not be recommending them.

We ate in this pub because we were staying in the B&B; along the road. We booked a table as advised as it is a high quality and popular pub/restaurant. We were certainly not disappointed! There was an excellent selection of dishes on the menu with meat, fish, and vegetarian options all available. We had rump steak, lamb rump and loin of pork for mains, All delicious and very generous portions. The sauces with the lamb and pork were beautiful and there was plenty. Dishes came with a selection of vegetables and new potatoes. We requested some changes to our steak dish which were accommodated gladly. The wine list was good and not over priced. The pub itself is clean and tidy and very nice to visit and the staff were all friendly and helpful.

Stopped for dinner on a Sunday, very surprised as one of the few places offering the full menu as well as roast. Had two very nice meals and very good value for money, would highly recommend if in the area.

Been for a lovely meal in a lovely village. Excellent service Beautiful food Friendly environment WELL WORTH A VISIT

We ate at the Black Boy on 02 / 06 / 2018. As on our previous visit all was well, We had Goats Cheese and Black Pudding starters, Sole and Cod mains and one Summer Pudding, One Coffee, One Prosecco, One Beer, Bottle of House White. Bill was for £67. We chose the Black Boy to celebrate our wedding Anniversary and it is highly recommended. Paul and Christine Reynolds.

Excellent lunch. Fantastic whitebait, lovely sausages and mash. Everyone in our group wiped their plates clean, so it was GOOD. Yummy desserts. Great setting. Modern, clean and tidy. Not expensive. A nice country drive to and from.

We ate at the Black Boy on Sat 21 / 4 / 2018. We both had Cheese and Beetroot salad starters, One Fish Pie and one Smoked fish main. ( They had run out of Haddock but the Salmon substitute was fine) We had Two Beers and Two large White Wines. I enjoy a side dish of Olives with my meal but they were unavailable. The portions were generous, perfectly cooked and presented, The service was efficient and friendly. The bill was for £52. Overall we both enjoyed our evening at the Black Boy and it is Highly recommended. Paul and Christine Reynolds.

My wife and I ate here after a long walk around the beautiful area. We were ready for food and the pub did not disappoint. I had a ploughman's and my wife had a ham sandwich. Both very well prepared and presented and great portions at a very modest price. Good selection of real ales. Super friendly bar staff. Easy to find and plenty of parking. A fantastic place to visit.

A lovely country pub, we were warmly welcomed by the staff & the open log fire! All the food was excellent, they have a very extensive menu which is reasonably priced, all the usual 'pub meal' favourites as well as lots of other dishes to choose from & fantastic desserts!

A country pub only a short drive from city of Leicester. Called for Sunday lunch (served until 4pm) while staying with friends in the area. Choice of three meats with Sunday lunch plus an extensive range of other meals on the Main Menu. Food was good and good portions. Would certainly consider re-visiting if in the area again.

80th Birthday lunch for 15 family and friends. The menu is extensive and the food delicious - outstanding puddings! Always guaranteed a warm welcome and Mark catered for a celiac, a vegan, a pescatarian amongst the group. Did us proud and a very happy 80 year old mother - thank you!

We visit 2 months ago was so impressed have been back a few times with different friends and family.

Bizarrely we live only 2 miles from The Black Boy but didn’t know it existed until last week and without doubt we will return. Thanks to a Siri search we found it. We were stuck where to go for a birthday meal.

I have visited the Black Boy twice recently having not been for many years, first as a group then a couple. On both occasions the food was excellent and reasonably priced. The waiting staff were friendly, efficient and very patient. The whole restaurant has a friendly ambience. We will definitely return.

Éramos un grupo de 18 personas. Un extenso menú. La comida era buena y el personal muy eficiente.

Fui a celebrar mi cumpleaños, ya que después de muchas visitas a lo largo de los años, siempre ha sido super buena comida sabrosa, buen servicio, ambiente, bueno qué más. Mantenerlo Bravo.

Fue la primera vez para nosotros en el Black Boy, el lugar parecía muy agradable a la llegada y el menú tenía una opción bastante buena. Yo opté por el salmón y el arranque de gambas, que era muy agradable (excepto no hay opción de pan blanco) mi esposa tenía la sopa de hongos, que decía que le faltaba un poco de condimento. Para los principales, elegí la salchicha y Puré con un Stilton y el mejor medio de salsa tenía el filete de ternera con una salsa Stilton, mi elección fue muy agradable y filete de mi esposa fue excelente en todos los lados donde bien. La salsa stilton Stilton le faltaba el, sí puede probar, pero estaba yo distante estimularán. En general, la comida fue muy buena y volvería otro día.

Llevé a mi suegra para finales de madres almuerzo día con mi pareja, todos ordenados rosbif.

Set at the edge of a pretty village and surrounded by rolling Leicestershire countryside, this was a lovely find. Ambiance inside is good. Sun was shining and we sat on decking outside for a drink but, being early March, ate lunch inside. There was a full a la carte menu but we did not want anything too substantial. They had an excellent short pub menu which was perfect. My bacon and brie sandwich was first-rate. Good bread and a generous amount of well-cooked bacon and brie. I shall definitely return.

We were a party of 5, excellent menu great selection all home cooked, we all opted for the Sunday lunch, it was presented perfectly and tasted amazing. All staff were super nice and helpful, we weren't rushed in any way to leave and made to feel very welcome, you will defiantly need to book if going on a Sunday it is a very cosy little place,we will defiantly be returning soon

I have given this restaurant a 5* prize for being ignorant to the lone drinker. On entering i was greeted with a grimace from the bar staff when i ordered a pint of larger who asked if i was dining the reply from me was no thank you. From that point on it was down hill i became invisible to management and staff. Not another word was spoken to me. I left my half full glass on the bar to visit the toilet on my return it had vanished in to thin air. When i asked if i could have it back i was told i thought you had gone and tipped it away. No offer of a refill no apology nothing so over £3.00 for 1/2 a larger if your alone / solo do not use this over priced diva owned place

I would like to thank Mark and his team for is amazing hospitality and food. Will be back again. 5 stars

Tried this venue for the first time and was amazed at the excellent quality of the menu choice, the food, location and staff. I haven't had such a great meal off the cuff in a long time. I recommend you try the black boy for yourselves, I'll definitely go again and I know my family are already planning to return with their friends. Well done...

This pub is situated on the edge of the village of Hungarton which is an advantage in more ways than one. We reached it by driving through the village which is a delight to the eye. Moreover it is sufficiently isolated to afford almost perfect tranquility for the traveller in search of good food in an attractive rural setting. It is hard to believe that the busy A46 is almost but happily not quite within earshot.To be honest we did not really challenge the extensive menu which offered items not usually found in your standard pub. My wife and I went for the beef bacon and Stilton pie (pies are my default choice when hungry!). These were more than acceptable and if I could rate the chips separately I would award them 5 stars! My daughter enjoyed a well filled sandwich. We were served by a cheerful friendly and efficient lady which more than compensated for the greeting from the (to me) very young barman which was almost formal in its lack of effusion! Perhaps he's just a bit shy!Unfortunately the quality of the food was not matched by the pub's decor. The total impression leans towards starkness and the restaurant is in need of some TLC in respect of the carpet and general decorations. I am told that the patrons have not long been in charge so I hope a refurb is high on their agenda.All in all however, this venue is marked out for a return in the not too distant future as the pluses do outweigh the minuses

Enjoyed Sunday lunch, reasonable, hot and very tasty too with excellent service. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere.

Have chosen to eat here with friends on many occasions. The food is lovely, the prices are very reasonable and the staff are extremely helpful. This is only a small village pub and is usually very busy with locals so it helps to book in advance if you can. There is a very pleasant atmosphere with plenty of smiles from staff during the table service. Portion sizes are quite generous with a range of food for vegetarians as well as meat and fish eaters. The staff are always ready to answer your questions if you want to query the ingredients of a dish - particularly helpful if you need to avoid something.

We regularly visit the black boy and have done for several years.Mark and his staff make you feel very welcome, the food and service is excellent, with an extensive menu every taste is catered for.being a local butcher (who doesn't supply the restaurant) I can whole heartedly vouch for the quality of food on offer, all being locally sourced and freshly cooked.After all the years of visiting the black boy, our only dissatisfaction was having to sit near by, whilst the previous reviewer sat and whinged all evening, as his fellow diners enjoyed their meals!!Highly recommended local restaurant.

Having had a good starter in the seafood platter ( albeit the prawns offering little taste) the mains arrived fairly rapidly after finishing them. Disappointing is not the word... Over cooked pork loin, dry and chewy ( most likely frozen ), supposedly with crispy black pudding but this was covered in the sauce ( more a broth ) which rendered any crispiness soggier than than last week! Another dish on our table was over cooked duck... A very poor effort on the food front ... Compensated a little by a reduced bill!

We visited the Black Boy some time back but we're not frequent visitors because they are too local. We needed somewhere close last Su day so tried them again. This was the best decision Ihave made in years. The greeting was great,the menu very extensive and interesting and the service superb. After one of the best first courses we have had in years we were introduced to sticky ginger pudding with ginger ice cream. Believe me this is the finest pudding ever. We will definitely be back soon.

A brilliant venue, excellent food board,good prices.Mark is a good host. Suggest booking even if there are two or twenty, to not be disappointed.Enjoy as they say.

This was the first time we had been in the area and following the sat nav; it told us to turn the wrong way along Main Street. When we fond it we were not disappointed! Good choice of meals on the menu and the gammon steak was delicious although presented as a steak and not sliced. it was so tender. The tomato salsa was a little too salty for our taste but that's not to say it would be for others. They change the menu on a regular basis but we were told that the gammon usually stays as it is so popular.

Had a fantastic Chinese themed meal here !!! Mark and his team always do a really good job and we are very well looked after !!! Keep up the good work and well worth a visit.

We've eaten a few times here, the lastest outing was for my dad's 80th birthday meal. The menu has loads of choice, the food has been fantastic every time and it represents great value for money. A lovely pub in a beautiful countryside location.

Ate here as part of a walking group of 38 on a Tuesday in January, the pub opened for us early in order to allow us to preorder and when we arrived back at 1 pm, the tables were all sorted and as soon as everybody had got their drinks they started to bring the food out.Within 10 minutes everybody had been served and everybody was delighted with their meal. Their was a good choice of meals from sandwiches, to soup to pies served with freshly cooked vegetables.Service was done with a smile and everybody left happy.Thanks

A wonderful pub, fabulous location, perfect food and a fantastic service from the staff. My nephews wedding and a meal afterwards at this pub. It really did make the day special and all of the staff couldn't do enough for us!

2 friends & I regulary meet up for a early evening meal, and this is one place we will definately go back to. We got there for 6.30, and there were already 9 people eating. Always a good indication. We decided on the seafood sharing platter to start - large amounts of smoked salmon, blanc bait, prawns in filo and prawns with dip, with bread. We all had more than enough, and in fact were beaten by a few blanc bait, although we gave it a good try. My friends both had steaks, which they said were lovely, and I had the fish pie, which was great. In fact we all wished the portions were smaller, as we had eaten so much from the sharing platter.Two of us couldnt manage a dessert, but friend 1 had 3 scoops of ice cream, which we all had a dip into, and they were really tasty. Definately on for a return visit

Visited the Black Boy for a joint birthday celebration of my father and my son. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming, the food was excellent and they were more than happy for us to provide a cake for them to bring out with candles lit at the end of the meal. We'll definitely come back again!

Booked for Saturday night, bar staff and waiting staff were very polite and made us feel very welcome. The atmosphere was good. The meals were very good, decent portion sizes and good quality. Will definitely go back and would recommend to family and friends. I don't normally write reviews but felt we had to as this place was an all round good experience.

Food was lovely and it was a beautiful day and we sat outside the location was beautiful we would go again.

As a person who rarely leaves reviews for anything, I feel compelled to share my experience of eating out at the Black boy in Hungarton. After hearing quite a few good things about the food, I decided to take my family on a Monday evening to see for myself. On arrival, we were made to feel very welcome.Service throughout the evening was excellent, even though the pub was quite busy for a weekday. The menu was quite extensive, plenty choices even for my fussy children!The food we were served was of a standard I've rarely eaten in a pub restaurant and the prices were very reasonable. I can see why people recommend this pub, I shall certainly be returning for another visit in the near future.

Superb meal for six, steaks cooked to perfection, crispy black pudding on one meal which made for a ' happy chappie'.Great atmosphere with attentive friendly staff.

Delightful country pub with excellent food, beautifully cooked and presented. Friendly and prompt service. Open fires in winter; great!

Had the beef and mushroom pie which was delicious, perfect puff pastry and tender beef. Decent vegetables and chips. Friendly staff and good service. Would definitely recommend.

We booked our company Christmas Party (post Christmas) We had (preordered)Ribeye Steak which was cooked to perfection, with a Posh prawn cocktail to start that was really succulent, service was very attentive and we all (8) enjoyed very much. Will defiantly book for next year! Hope we were not too noisey!!! :)

Having dropped a present off locally we decided to call in for a pint before the 55 mile drive home. After we waited an age to get served we noticed the casual drinker is not made welcome. We were asked twice by the same person if we were eating within 10 minutes. We explained there was a good chance we were and would let them know. From then on we were blanked on trying to order another pint and an orange juice at the bar i became invisible the staff served others who had just come in to dine (2 party's) and THEN 2 more diners who had just entered. I went to use the toilet where a member of staff had just used it and failed to wash there hand's. On leaving i asked if i could please have an orange juice and a pint to be asked by the unwashed person if i was dining (not with those hands thank you) On getting back to the bar the glasses had gone. Shortly after so had we. Only to find a staff member smoking outside. Don't go if your not eating the price is expensive and staff ignorant of drinkers but the food looked ok.

We have eaten at the Black Boy many times . Although it is a little bright and plain inside the food is reliably good, well cooked and presented. The extensive range of desserts are especially tasty. Booking is recommended as it does get quite busy. There are usually 3 regularly changing real ales.

Amazing food and very reasonable price would definitely go again if you moved this restaurant to London you could quadruple the price.

The food was generally good - one of us had a delicious rump steak, cooked medium rare as requested. The other had a mushroom &stilton lasagne which was OK. It's not a particularly pretty pub and the clientele somewhat elderly. Service was good.

We went for my Mums birthday,The prawns in the starter were tasteless, albeit we did have the set menu, but surely if you want to keep customers you do not serve fish which is frozen out of a box, which was very crunchy and vileIf we wanted that we would of gone to Iceland and got a box for £1.99We will not be returning

We stopped by for dinner after visiting the village and church. The decor was a little "tired" and not what we expected. The menu was huge; however, I think I made a mistake in selecting the pork with sweet and sour sauce; guess I wasn't expecting a Chinese-style entree in an English village inn. But that's what I got. Prices were reasonable.

For no apparent reason we have not visited this delightful little hostelry for some years. Tonight we were pleasantly impressed with the food and the prompt friendly service. It was a flying visit for us Basically a meal after work and before the sofa beckons - you know the score. But rest assured we shall return! Thinking of a Sunday Roast next - will update you as and when fellow tripsters!

Went to this restaurant a few weeks ago to celebrate a birthday with many friends.The staff were welcoming and courteous, tables were arranged to accommodate a party of 22 and the whole evening was pleasant and relaxing. The food had been pre-ordered for ease of preparation and the whole meal passed very smoothly. The food was great and every possible thing was done to make our party evening a great success. Many thanks to all

Hungry when we arrived in Hungarton. There was the Black Boy, just in the right place. The staff were friendly, the food lovely, and the facilities (in a lot of pubs usually too untidy and a little unsavoury) was tidy and clean. We have already made plans to return.

We took my elderly mum for lunch, the staff were very helpful and the meal was very good.I had the ham egg and chips the ham was nice and thick with two eggs, we will be going back for Mothers day to try the menu further

My husband and I have visited this place on several occasions with friends and found it to be consistent with the food and service, whilst on the outside it looks like a pub I would class this as a restaurant only. The food is well presented with decent plate sizes and value for money.

Had a chowder followed by roast pork and crumble for desert . Then went for a walk through the village past the church and out to the fields . A perfect autumn day

We came here for a Tuesday lunch on recommendation from a friend. We both ordered omelettes and mine was overcooked. The staff were very polite and attentive and the service was quick even though there were a few people in. What a disappointment though that the place was devoid of any character or atmosphere and did not make you want to hang around. Clearly they are aiming at diners and not drinkers. Don't bother if you are looking for somewhere to have a couple of pints - obviously they don't want your sort at the Black Boy.
