The Black Horse in South Cambridgeshire - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

the food was excellent and friendly staff

Love this place! It's in the village next to mine but it's just a short walk away. It is verging on pricey, but it is worth the price. Colin and Amanda (owners) are wonderful with guests and they always have a smile on their faces, even after a busy shift. With a sizeable beer garden out back and a few tables in the front, it's perfect for a drink in the sun or in the shade if you get too hot. It's a small solid wood bar with a generous choice of beers, ales (always one made locally) and gins or just a cup of tea. They also have a delectable selection of homemade cakes and sweet treats

After seeing a great menu on line my family book a surprise 60 birthday meal me .we arrived at 5.45 and then had to wait the pub to open in the car park ,the landlord turned up and said we open at 6 and left us outside .Once we found a way in through a back door the smell of the toilets hit us ,not in a good way .we were then shown to our table in the back room which was very cold and left the older members of the group leaving the coats on .Colin then brought us the menu's out to which there was a choice of 3or 4 starters and as many main courses. I choice ham egg and chip which was £12 and when it arrived was no bigger than my starter which was 5 calamari rings for £6 .it looked like a child had cooked it .not impressed with the pub or the food .Will definitely not be going back and would not recommend this place until they had sorted these issues.

I heartily endorse a visit to this establishment for a splendid outing. The ambiance is quite refined, with meticulous attention to the minutiae, all kept in tip-top condition. The fare is delightful, with the wraps and cappuccino being particularly commendable. Do try the mozzarella cheese and cakes as well. The proprietor, Collin, is most amiable and hospitable, making for a most agreeable afternoon.

Lovely food but not very hot, need to warm the plates ! Menu a bit sparse.

Great place for a relaxed lunch. Food was delicious

Food was really good but they need to warm the plate and the veg bowls as food was not as hot as it should have been

This is a tough one to post about. Mixed feelings..... They happily accommodated our booking for a family lunch. On arrival, the place defiantly look shut, with no signs to the car park, we parked in the road and walked to the first door, which was shut. The other front door was not obvious so we eventually found our way in via the rear door. The staff were friendly but service was slow. The feeling, was this was either a hobby pub business, or they were inexperienced and giving it a go, so full marks for that. The food was average and unexciting. Could have done better at home. Overall, they deserve better, but on this occasion our expectations were not met I'm afraid.

Very welcoming with a nice atmosphere. The landlord makes the effort to chat to his regulars and visitors. All good.

Wonderfully friendly and welcoming staff. I highly recommend the ravioli - so delicious I had it twice! Thank you for making my birthday special.

Peaceful, excellent and thoughtful service, tidy and comfortable setting, excellent cakes, games for our toddler, car park, lovely food. We will return!

We chose this lovely village pub for my Dads wake and from the very first contact we had with Amanda and Colin we were reassured that they could provide wonderful service and beautifully prepared food for the occasion. The location , being only 5 minutes from Cambridge Crematorium was an added bonus. Thank you

Good coffee and home made cakes.

Very lovely people smiling all the time and welcoming . Superb😃😃😃

Beautiful food and a great welcome by Colin. Nothing was too much trouble, the food was amazing and the hummingbird cake was awesome. All at an amazing price too. Well worth a visit.

Unfriendly and less than helpful. Did not feel welcome

The staff was very kind, nice. The place is great for families. I recommend it. :)

Visited recently for an NCT reunion. Fantastic hidden gem of a pub. Has the feel of a cafe, with a lovely selection of cake. Great coffee and the Landlord Colin is thoroughly welcoming and attentive. Recommend the Reuben sandwich. We’ll be back.

A very nice local pub (and dog friendly)

Great local pub. Excellent service. Improved interior and very clean.

A nice local pub with good home cooked food and excellent beer and coffee and cake

Warm, friendly and very accommodating. Even though we'd only booked for two, they found space for one more and we had an excellent Sunday lunch. Oh to have a village pub like this closer to home!

Friendly, nice food (inc. vegetarian and vegan options)

Lovely welcoming pub. Small yet varied menu with plenty of vegetarian and vegan options. It's also dog friendly and has good highchairs for kids. Don't miss the cake!

A very quaint English pub, with great well-priced food. We went for lunch, it was a nice warm day so sat in the garden. Food is well priced for Cambridge and if good quality, clearly made with care. Staff are friendly. Surprisingly quiet for a Saturday lunch time, clearly this pub is a hidden gem!

Excellent food and drink with friendly service. Will definitely visit again.

Lovely place, good service and food.

Greek dinner for 2 for 34quid what's not to like. Meze and Mousaca delicious. We'll be back

Fantastic atmosphere, new clean , and well priced, for homemade food and drinks, great place to check out !

Colin and his wife are very friendly and helpful.nothing is too much trouble for them. Food excellent. Very good premises. Cosy atmosphere.

Amazing food and service highly recommend 👌 👍

Excellent Country Village Pub, Food, Drinks & Service spot on. Highly recommended

Just enjoyed The Jubilee Picnic Platter at the Black Horse. It was so good that I think the Queen would not have been disappointed if she had joined us!

Excellent food, lovely atmosphere and the staff are very friendly and will look after everyone 100% I would highly recommend this pub to anyone.

Lovely afternoon. Relaxing in the garden with friends. Sun out. Perfect. Light lunch, coffee and wine thank you

Excellent service, food was great, Great value too.

Missed the Sunday lunch (booking required) but the nachos are good

Visited for Saturday lunch, served a delicious chicken & bacon burger in their lovely pub garden. Great find!

Great new owners. Small and simple menu, but the food and service is excellent.

We had a lovely roast dinner, great friendly service. I can't recommend this community run pub enough. We will be back again.

Lovely pub. The food is amazing. Also great pit stop when dog walking

Lovely local community pub - nice food

Stunning food .very friendly service. Would definitely be back

Just had an amazing roast today at the Black horse! Would highly recommend to everyone!

Booked for a wake after funeral of my mum, lovely people, great service, home made sausage rolls were divine. lovely intimate tables but also cohesive enough to have as a place for many

little pricey, but enjoyable food

Not full menu as owner I'll. Beers still well kept. Will return

Very good as always friendly staff Very relaxing always a good welcome 🙂

Really lovely setting and super service. The food is generally very nice, simple yet engaging menu, Korean chips in particular were great. They were unsurprisingly busy when we visited, a couple of elements were not as hot as they might have been, but still definitely recommend a visit

We attended a wake at this pub. The food was fantastic, we had to sit in the gardens because of Covid-19 and these were lovely. The owner couldn't do enough for us, great host and kept bringing us as many drinks as we wanted. The homemade cakes were divine. Lovely homely pub, it's a shame we live so far away otherwise would definitely be going again. Excellent.

Great service! Slightly hampered by the lack a f outdoor space at the moment

I had a cheese burger, chips, and a cider. We waited 2 hours for our food and spend 5 minutes eating it! The food was ok but definitely not worth the wait or the price of £12 for such a small portions. I wouldn't recommend this place and I won't be coming back.

Good for staying overnight. You will enjoy it if you're into rural style fashioned hospitality.

Visited yesterday for post funeral buffet. Very kind and welcoming, the arrangements couldn't have been easier. The food was lovely. Thank you so much. We will definitely visit again.

Superb in every way. Lovely owners and great food. By far the best pub I've been to in a long time.

First time back since lock down... lovely sitting in the garden.

Lovely pub, great hosts, delicious Sunday roast and cake. Thank you, we will be back.😊

No offense to the new owners but it has lost a little of the old world charm it had. Too gastro pub for my taste. Having said that the beer from a local brewery in the village was absolutely excellent. Nice landlord. Just don't like change for the sake of it or modern retro style over substance.

Fabulous home cooked Sunday lunch

Very tasty roast on a Sunday lovely friendly hosts

Lovely pub Amanda and Colin are very friendly, great coffee cake dog friendly, lovely walk from Bar Hill

Great food and warm atmosphere!

A nice public house with good facilities and helpful staff,

Always good service, beer, food and cake, also dog friendly great all round ❤️❤️

After a refurb, this traditional old pub now has a lovely relaxing atmosphere. Good Sunday lunches (suggest booking) and friendly landlords.

Delicious orange and almond cake

Lovely to sit in the garden, well decorated inside, good food and good service

Good selection of beers, loved the local brewery beer. Great atmosphere mixing the old pub with modern touches.

Las renovaciones que se han llevado a cabo han convertido el pub en un lugar luminoso y acogedor. Los anfitriones son amables y serviciales. La comida es de un nivel excelente con una muy buena variedad de opciones. Si solo quieres café y pastel, no te decepcionará, la llovizna de limón es simplemente deliciosa. Tranquilo jardín y mucho estacionamiento. También atienden a las funciones, así que ve y visita esta encantadora Village Public House / cafe / restaurant

Different from the norm. Simple menu but good food. Very friendly owners

Good food nice pub to visit. Will go back

Nice food and drink very helpful staff

Fui a The Black Horse Dry Drayton para mi cumpleaños con mi familia. Encantador pub con una cálida bienvenida, acogedor y confortable interior con arte en las paredes. Chimenea en invierno y un tranquilo jardín. Excelente cerveza ya que son una casa libre. Adnams de barril, así como una cerveza local de solo 2 millas de distancia, también una excelente colección de Gin que se sirve con varios tipos de tónicos Fever Tree. El menú es muy sencillo y el hecho de que cambie diariamente significa que la comida es fresca y preparada y cocinada con mucho cariño. Teníamos Moussaka, Ham Egg & Skin en chips crujientes, una hamburguesa con queso y tocino doble local que debe ser cocinada ya que era muy alta. La hamburguesa que comí fue probablemente la mejor que he comido, sazonada y cocinada a la perfección, las papas fritas estaban recién hechas y crujientes. El servicio fue impecable y no intrusivo. El propietario y la casera (chef) nos hicieron sentir tan bienvenidos que no queríamos irnos.

Really tasty food and friendly staff.

Lovely food and pub we visit from thundersley Essex a few times a year and pop in when we can

Lovely country pub with food and real ale.

Great home cooked food and a lovely selection of cakes. We had our wedding reception here and Colin and Amanda created us a delicious menu based on our requirements. Would definitely recommend the Black Horse for tea and cake, an evening meal or a special event.

Lovely local pub - really friendly staff and good beer. Really nice for a pint on a summers evening

Very nice place, good service, good cakes

Great meal in this fantastic pub. Food was fantastic value for money. Service was perfect.

Excellent refurbishment....not cosy where we sat as cold with only one radiator for a large room. The food needs to be improved as mine was not tasty...chicken pieces mashed potatoes and green beans with sauce with no flavour. Its a new venture so will visit again later

Friendly, cosy pub with great food and beer. What more could you want :-)

Newly refurbished country pub, recommended!

Went there for a quiet lunch under recently changed management. It was a Wednesday lunchtime so very quiet and a chance to chat to the landlord who was very friendly. It's a listed building which has been very nicely refurbished. They sell beer from a local micro brewery and home made cakes. The pork pie and the fritata were both excellent and the prices very reasonable. Leaflets on the tables advertise special evenings that include live music and quizzes. All in all a very enjoyable experience to be repeated.

Encontré este en Trip Advisor durante una estancia reciente en el Hallmark Hotel Cambridge.

A great, family friendly local pub with a nice relaxed atmosphere. We really enjoy coming here and the owners Colin and Amanda make all three generations of the family feel very welcome. My five year old has declared it as "my favourite pub"! We have popped in several times for a Sunday roast and the food had always been really good. Don't miss the homemade cakes!

I love what Colin and Amanda have done with the derelict pub. It's welcoming, cosy in the winter and a wonderful secluded garden in the summer. Great Ales and a lovely tasty menu including Sunday lunches. Highly recommended

Lovely cosy pub with great tasting beer and friendly staff. Also has great value home cooked food and cakes. Highly recommended.

Amanda provided a very good quality service with a smile and excellent range of home made food including 2 great soups for my family and relatives on Monday 17th December. They made us welcome and ensured that it all ran smoothly. Very smart surroundings. Thanks you.

A beautiful pub with a cafe feel in the afternoon. Contemporary whilst being wonderfully ancient too with a homely, welcoming feel. Superb cake!

Not really a pub more of a cafe with a beer pump. But it's OK if your out for a walk and can sit in the garden for a pint, feels more like a pub then.

Cosy and friendly village pub under new ownership. Had really nice tea and delicious cake. We plan to return for lunch or dinner soon! Different menus at different times of the day.

This country pub is well & truly open again under new management & well worth a visit. We had sharing platter the kids had brioche and bacon. Homemade cake with ice cream to follow. Very tasty and excellent value.

Newly reopened. Friendly service. Good choice drinks including tea/coffee. Small meal menu but does have some delicious home baked cakes. Would definitely visit again and I hope the new owners do well here.

Lovely pint 🍻 wish was open later than 17.00 on Sundays in the summer!

Recently relaunched with village support after the old tenants left and its now much better now before.

Me pasó por el caballo negro la semana y fue inmediatamente nos hicieron sentir bienvenidos. He estado trabajando, así no pudo ir tan a menudo como debería.

We decided to pop in here for our Sunday lunch on the way to Cambridge after reading some of the glowing reports on trip advisor. We were really disappointment with our meal.

Allways a Friendly Welcome and Excellent Service .The food is of a HIGH Standard and all ways has left me TOTALY Satisfied .

Un pequeño pub ubicado en un pequeño pueblo rural en el fuera de Cambridge. Un par de cálida bienvenida que sin duda le hizo sentir como en casa. La comida llegaba a tiempo y bien presentado, con un precio que era una excelente relación calidad-precio.
