The Black Bush in Horsham

Second time I've been in since the latest takeover by a regular of 20 odd year. Said owner basically stuck on his laptop at the bar ( maybe I'm wrong ) if I'm right as he was telling the bar staff what to do a simple hello would go a long way. To get to the bar to play pool we had to walk through the lounge disturbing the music as the bar door was not open. If your a real ale fan don't bother its average Guinness or john Smith's. Gutted as when I read in the Echo a local of 20 year was taking over I thought it would make all the difference. In a positive note if you want a private function it should be spot on with the new partition.

Best food ever pizzas amazing well worth it chicken pepper corn to die for well worth a look👍 hallomi fries for starters to die for too😉

Lovely food at the blackbush today, very friendly staff with excellent customer service skills. Noticed that someone had left a review about the tables being sticky, i work in a pub/resturant & this is due to the sanitizer used to keep the tables clean. Will definately go back

My partner and I had our first Sunday lunch yesterday and I have to say it was delicious! All fresh veg. Just make sure you’re hungry when you go in as you come out stuffed! Will definitely be back.

we tried the Bush as its under new ownership. They staff are lovely and friendly. We sat at a table of our choice as it was pretty quiet but upon sitting down noticed the table was dirty and sticky. We were asked to place our order at the bar where ther is no social distancing markers so the few people around were too close. However we were served promptly. We ordered a burger and chicken in sauce. Both presented really well. The chicken was really nice but the burger was dry with hard bits round the edges.and seemed a bit old to be honest so I did not eat it.

My husband and I have been customers at the Black Bush and viit regularly. The Sunday carvery is always well supported and is ecxcellent value for money. Tracy always has a good selection of meats and all vegatbles are fresh, nothing tinned at all. I hope those who visit the Bush each Sunday will continue to support Tracy and I know your attendance is much appreciated.

Absolutely excellent food and service is second to none would definitely recommend and the yorkshire pudding would make you punch ya gran for the last one

Great atmosphere and food was delicious. Meat cooked perfect, veg was right texture. Yorkshire puddings decent size. Roast potatoes cooked perfect and the mash was very nice.

Have tried food here over last few month and got to say it is fab very tasty lunch at a very good price, choice of three meats good choice of vegetables best Yorkshire’s I’ve had in a long time , staff are so nice nothing is to much bother highly recommend

Having held my sister's wake there in February and being pleased at the buffet they provided, I decided to take some family there when next I visited Washington. It was the Wednesday Carvery and I asked if there was a vegetarian option.... I was given a specially prepared dish( veggie sausages, roasts and stuffing) to go with the carvery vegetables and it was delicious. The family tucked in to the carvery which had 3 choices of meat and 3 prices depending on how much meat you wanted..small at £4, regular and then large at £7 (mine was I think £5.50) There was a good selection of puddings, which I was too full to have but the younger members enjoyed apple pie and custard at £2.50 each. We sat for a couple of hours and thoroughly enjoyed it. The manageress, Claire, came to tell us that they were doing some renovation work and would be closed for 2 weeks in September but were having a grand reopening. There would be an old-time bar with games like there used to be with a separate entrance and the dining area was to be refurbished too. This management has really made a difference and we will certainly be back!

Just been to the black bush for Sunday lunch,the food was very good,choice of three meats plus a good selection of vegetables also mashed and roast potatoes .The larger was apparently very nice as was the coke.Really good value for money

called in today as a family of 10. lovely, tasty dinner and deserts. at very cheep prices.well worth a visit.

Last year I decided I wasn't having enough Sunday dinners so I decided to start having them regularly eating out with a friend. In the time that has passed I have found some great places and some not so great places. But for the price you pay this is as good as it gets. Carvery style it trounces the Toby Carvery hands down. Available in 3 plate sizes each getting a bit more expensive. Yorkshire pudding is small although on a large plate you do get 2 as well as stuffing and sausage. Veg is basic but cooked to perfection and without disappointment. Meat again basic but it has been slow cooked ensuring tenderness and a happy customer.. The real standouts here being the cauliflower cheese, roasties and mash. The cauliflower cheese is heaven honest to god you have to try it. Roasties are fried and come out fresh very often. In my quest to find the best in the region I often find the best places can't even compete with these roasties and that is due to the freshness. And the mash is chock full of Lurpak so its always going to taste amazing. Yet to find a lump! This coupled with being able to get a pudding after for only £2 really is a testament to how much I love coming here! Is it going to win a Michelin Star? No. But it isn't going to break the bank and they do the simple stuff well. Not every week you want a Sunday Roast can you afford somewhere fancy but you still want one to cure your hangover and this is the perfect venue for that. they also do a roast on a Wednesday too and that is cheaper!

We went here to have lunch last week. However, after spending over 5 minutes waiting for someone to come to the bar to serve us we walked out and went somewhere else.

I booked the Black Bush for the funeral of a close family member. I asked for a simple selection of sandwiches etc (to include vegetarian) plus tea and coffee. i catered for 20 people at £3 a head. I expected very basic food, instead there was a really good selection of sandwiches plus quiches and plate meat pies and savouries.. There was a large hot water urn, tea bags and coffee etc for us to help ourselves .. About 40 people attended yet there was enough food for everyone. As it was a Wednesday there was a carvery in the main room which looked very good...there was a choice of two roasts and a nice selection of veg that I could see. Families were coming in for the carvery which was reasonably priced. This is an old Pub and has been in the village for over a hundred years ..it isn't in what is now the "village" but up Village Lane from the smithie's

I went into the black bush on Christmas Day with my family there was 6 of us we sat down and after 50 minutes of waiting for my STARTER that came and looked like something that was made years ago we then left our starter that and waited 2 hours then our main courses were served that was like a big mess on the plate I think these things were sand which fillers presentation was terrible it looked like leftovers that you will give to your dog this was different in 2017 when it was a lovely meal lovely service lovey management it’s a shame this place went down hill will never drink or eat in this pub ever again !!!

Didn't go well at all. There must have been problems in the kitchen or it just wasn’t organised in advance. To leave customers waiting hours between courses isn’t good. The portion sizes were small, this wouldn’t have been so bad but considering the price I think people expected more. The waitresses did a great job and were very patient in what I can imagine was a difficult situation. I think, had the management announced that there were going to be problems and perhaps offered customers a refund for those who couldn’t or wouldn’t wait that may have defused the situation. I think some sort of part refund or free drinks would have helped. Having served Christmas dinner to 330+ in the past I know it takes a lot of planning, but can be successful if it’s well organised and quality meals are served. I only hope this is a one off and they can learn from their mistakes, as this pub is located in a stunning little village and could be an asset to the area.

Family Christmas Dinner : Sat down at 13:00 for our much awaited and looked forward to Festive Christmas Dinner with the Family . Our Starter arrived to what I can only describe as a wet looking plate of "out of the bag" mixed salad (probably from Aldi) with a micro "very" thin tasteless slice of pate presented with soggy soft tomatoes (also probably from Aldi) . An hour and 30 minutes later our main course arrived ! What a gastronomical delight this was !! One " cooked from frozen" Aunt Bessie Yorkshire Pudding , Two or three "cooked from Frozen" Roast Potatoes , mushy over cooked sprouts , Burnt and blackened "crunchie" stuffing , under cooked "pink in the middle sausages" wrapped in bacon !! were the pigs in blankets FROZEN ! Maybe ? Did they buy all the food from Aldi ? Maybe ! THEY then gave us some gravy to pour over this " Salvation Army" Christmas Dinner to which I can only articulate as, YUK ! from a soup kitchen ! we all waited for our Christmas pudding but after three hours of waiting and rerouting our taxis 3 times, enough was enough and we left . Cost per person for this meal was £44 each as there was 17 of us the total cost was circa £750 (paid in advance) I'm sure I could of bought all the above food for less than £50 from ALDI .The owners should be ashamed !! My Recommendations : Spend some money on decent ingredients and employ a qualified chef - Give your waiting staff a rise !! they deserved it , they had to listen to all the complaints .The food industries are about REPUTATION and not always PROFIT !

Waited 30mins as food had fun out only 1 meat no roast potato or peas went again hoping it had improved but sadly no no better wouldn't recommend and service is good however the photos they show are certainly not what you get

Had a lovely Sunday lunch at the black bush which is under new management. Staff very friendly and helpful and would recommend this.

We held a family wake here last week and Clare the new owner couldn't have been more helpful. She advised us when needed and organised the room and the buffet. Would highly recommend for smaller parties etc. We're going to try out the new daily/Sunday menu soon.

Friendly enough staff. Cheap food. Meat was not as good as normal and some of it was overcooked. Worst of all.is that the carrots and roast potatoes were frozen and that never used to happen. No mashed potato and sweetcorn with Sunday dinner..strange. So really not sure if I would return. Would be nice if the manager would explain why the standards are dropping.

Dirty cutlery, tables left uncleared, poor carvery, dirty toilets, fag ends all over the entrance. Not a pleasant experience and certainly not impressed if this is the standard of a Marston's establihment.

This should of been a good review. We held my husbands surprise party at the Black Bush and the staff were helpful with the arrangements. The next day they refused to return our deposit as they said the room was a mess and people had drunk their own alcohol. The barmaid actually said it took them ages to clear away the mess. I would advise anyone against booking a party here. You are obviously expected to clear away dirty glasses and possibly even mop the floors after your party. I can't comment on people drinking their own alcohol but that's not my problem anyway but the only mess was empty glasses on tables as we cleared away everything else and they was no damage to the property. The deposit was only £25 but I am furious they refused to return it as they would of made a fortune off us that night. If the people who run the place had spent more time looking after the place instead of dancing with us there might not have been as much mess for the barmaid to clean up. Totally unprofessional.

This is kind of a double review. We went early for the first one n the meats were more tender. Later on they were a bit tougher. However great value at 6 pound. Good portions. It's a carvery. The vegetables are cooked well. Nice Yorkshire pudding. Friendly service. Good pint of Moretti. So overall I would recommend.

Thought we'd try for a change and pleasantly surprised only £5.99 for all you can eat carvery included 3 meats turkey, beef or gammon I had all 3 but my partner just wanted beef.. generous carving of the meats and covered the plate once the yorkshires and all the veggies went on it resembled a mountain.. lovely fresh vegetables and divine meat that melted in your mouth mmmmm value for money and nice, friendly staff and service was fab I recommend this place 100%..

Been to this pub over the course of a few months having recently changed hands I've tried from the menu as well as the carvery and would highly recommend this place if your after a meal to fill you up. The carvery gives you choice of 3 meats and you serve what you want in your vegetables and good value for money at 3:99 midweek and 5:99 Sunday, also does specials on currys, and burgers on other days give them a try.

Typical pub good and loaded with carbs. So, for many people that's a quick fix as it fills you up. The menu needs diversity, more taste (herbs,spices, marinades) and less warmed up quick cook fry up flavour. It's a nice space inside and just needs to try harder with quality over quantity.

Terrible service food disgusting start not very sociable could not wait to leave would not recommend this place

This place needs to be shut down and re opened with staff that know what they are doing. Disgusting service they haven't got a clue when it comes to a big table order my 18 month old daughter waited over 1 hour for her tea ( chicken nuggets peas and potato waffles) they couldn't even get the order right and sent out chicken nuggets beans and chips and when I asked how long it would I was told they were serving order by order so adults were tucking into there main course while my daughter had to wait I will never return !!!!! DONT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY ON THIS PLACE

Fuimos para el almuerzo de Navidad hoy, éramos un grupo de ocho. La comida era horrible, espantosa y un servicio muy caro para Navidad. error. Los entrantes vinieron todos en diferentes ocasiones, algunos eran mal cocida y fría. Los platos principales estaban calientes pero hecha, los pudines no eran como se describe, por ejemplo, tarta salada caramelo tarta treacle, en realidad era con nueces. Budín de navidad fue servido con helado, crema pastelera o brandy salsa no. No hay música festiva jugando, en general no es sorprendente experiencia horrible, no lleno!

My wife and I visited this restaurant on 10/9/2016. We were greeted by the staff on what appeared to be an extremely busy night. The ambience and atmosphere of the restaurant was great and the owner was at pains to ensure we had a good experience. The food was excellent my wife having a vegetarian pizza and I had the gamberoni all'aglio for our main course. The staff were pleasantly attentive and it really felt we were somewhere special in the centre of Prudhoe. This is apparently a new venture and we hope it is a big success. We pre booked for New Year's eve.

Precioso domingo asados con menú infantil para los comilones exigentes, el personal era muy agradable y amable, altamente recomendado!

Asador zona necesita ser actualizado, Mala elección de carnes compradas en supermercados locales, verduras vienen de Islas congelada en supermercados locales.

Este pub fue catalogado como perro, con una clasificación de cinco estrellas, en el sitio Web de pubs, así que el perrito de mi esposa y yo, con nuestros dos perros, hizo una primera visita para el almuerzo el 9 de junio. Llegamos a encontrar el aparcamiento casi completa, y teme que el pub puede ser muy concurrido, pero encontramos la puerta del bar (que sabía que era el perro zona específica) cerrada.

Got to say the buy one get one free menu (mon-sat 12-5) is excellent value for money. Good selection to choose from, good size portion. Extremely good value for your money. Good food and service.

Empty when we walked in for lunch, not always a good sign but we decided to give it a go. Ordered ham, eggs and chips and a hunters chicken. The price was 17£ with two drinks I little overpriced considering the food was ok at best. The staff member behind the bar was lovely. Wouldn't return.

Heard this pub was dog friendly so headed along for some lunch. Bar was locked but barman opened the doors so the mut could come in. Discovered we were the only customers in a large pub at 12.30pm .Ordered fish and chips , burger and 2 cokes. £17. Came within ten mins and no one else in pub. Burger was like rubber obviously cooked from frozen,, even the dog took some persuading to eat it. Other halfs fish and chips was cheap fish with about 8 chips. Can now see why the place was empty ... If you like cheap Nasty frozen processed food then this is the place for you. Unfortunately we will NOT be returning.

Visited the Black bush just before Christmas and ate from the promotional menu. The food was well prepared and well presented, staff were friendly and the service was good.All in all a devil cent value meal which we both enjoyed. Loads of choose with some good promotions on every day, worth a second visit.

heard that the black bush did Sunday carvery so decided to give it a shot although it was edible all the food tasted frozen or tinned ,the Yorkshire puddings were (aunt Bessie style) frozen and small and you only got one and the selection was tiny there was no mash which was disappointing also.couldnt comment on other meals the pub do but the carvery was disappointing and i would not go again .
