A delightful gastro pub that really is a gastro pub. Yes it's at the slightly pricer end of the non Michelin star gastro pubs, but in my opinion it's worth every penny. Staff were attentive , the main dining area was a lovely conservatory type room at the back of the pub, with comfortable chairs , plenty of space between tables and lovely views out of the large glass sliding doors. The menu has good classics such as fish and chips , alongside more adventurous dishes. Definitely something for everyone. The food was fantastic, with perfect portion sizes and lovely quality ingredients. This place is worth a trip out to.

Parking spaces limited. The pub itself is ok, largely given over to a modern dining area. The service was good but the good was a little disappointing. The sharing fish plates were mainly over battered and over cooked frozen prawns and octopus with a small slices of salmon. The whitebait was breaded and from a packet in the freezer too. The duck was very good but the steak pie was fairly mediocre. The moules frites was ok but a couple of the muscles were cold. Good chips. Really I think food in pubs needs to be of a very high standard. Sourced locally and perfectly cooked. We felt a little let down by the quality of the food and we won’t go again.

We had a really memorable meal here today. Excellent table, with great view over the valley & golf course, first-class service, and brilliant food. We had the shared fish platter as a starter, which set us up for the excellent moule marineres, then we had to find room for dessert, and that was equally good with mouth-watering choice. All round top notch - it could not have been better!

A beautiful location for lunch. The pub is very pretty, and both the outside and inside eating areas are clean and comfortable—everything looks new. The menu is varied, with vegetarian options. The meal was well presented (though I chose badly and my meal was too rich, so I couldn’t finish it). The service was very friendly and efficient. There were several dogs in the outside area, and I noticed they were given bowls of water. (Not sure if they are allowed inside.) The washrooms were clean and supplied with soap and hand lotion. This is an excellent place to meet for a leisurely lunch with a friend. It’s quite pricey for a pub, but definitely worth a visit and I hope to return another day.

Duck & Scallops for the main courses while cherry frangipane & chocolate rum truffle cake for dessert. OMG! The food was delicious from the first bite to the last. Service was excellent too, friendly and accommodating. All that you want from a friendly eatery. Highly recommend. Book to avoid disappointment. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A bit disappointed really, beautiful area and lovely pub but the food was not great. Husband had pie which was more anemic than coloured and not bursting with meat or flavour, I had chicken which was pretty tasteless the veg we shared was mostly carrot with one broccoli spear and a stem. Friends shared a seafood platter that was lazy at best!!!!

To be honest I’ve been disappointed…. I’ve booked for my birthday for the first time in The black Horse since I’ve seen the pictures of the nice veranda online.. though we would get one of these tables but they booked us a table inside in the dark… that’s not what we wanted. We told them but they did not really care and said the tables in the veranda were all booked. Well, we also booked. They should ask where we would like to be seated when we book’ specially when we dont know the place. The food was not amazing, but still a nice atmosphere for a sunday lunch.

We went here for Valentine’s Day lunch, we had not heard about this pub from anyone that we knew so did not really know what to expect but we’re very pleasantly surprised. The pub has a beautiful outlook from the conservatory style dining area, the views across the golf course and countryside is stunning. We had the baked Camembert as a starter which was delicious. For the main course I went for the pork belly and my valentine had the filo chicken pie. Both dishes were well cooked and tasted as good as they looked. We were made to feel welcome by the team, the service was friendly efficient and professional. One of the best meals out that we have had on this trip, we will definitely visit again on our next trick to the UK. Highly recommended.

I'd recently stayed in a reputable 4-Star hotel: the food, prompt friendly service and smart contemporary furnishings of The Black Horse beats it hands down. A friendly welcome and showed to my table: a pint of Harveys? said the bar man (and owner), as that's what I'd had the previous night. The drink was on my table as I sat down. I started with cream of celeriac soup with blue cheese - piping hot and very tasty. Then pressed belly of pork, with apple sage and white wine sauce, fresh veg and dauphinoise potatoes. The pork was cooked to perfection - very tender. You won't pass this place by accident, as it's down a lane that only leads to St Mary's Church (with 12th Century wall painting). So go out of your way, and treat yourself to a delicious meal out!

We then all had something different, lobster salad, steak and lamb and I had crab salad. All our meals were absolutely gorgeous, could not fault them. We followed with all having desserts again each mouthful was an absolute delight! Then we ordered the most amazing Irish coffees which were made by Grace to perfection!

We stayed and ate in the evening with them. Our room was beautiful, lovely linen, and towels a really calm space! Yes it is in the centre of Arundel but we were surprised by how little we could hear traffic. We had a cheeseboard and beautiful salami’s beautifully served, we were told where everything was from, lovely wines to choose from, they certainly exceeded our expectations and we will definitely be back, run by a really lovely couple. Breakfast was continental but again locally sourced and first class
