The Black Horse in Mole Valley

Food was on point always come here for food and drinks never been disappointed. Food always comes out hot. food always has lovely flavours. Staff you can not fault at all very friendly and very welcoming. Thanks again 😊

Most dreadful Sunday roast ,like leather ,cold tasteless.Please stick to curry we had large party all kept to English menu, service taking orders poor. Vegetables raw,cold including potatoes. Clearing dishes took for ages,sweet menu delivered ,no order taken nearly 40 mins ,some of our guest left.,In all 3 hours for meal from start to finish.

I would like to appreciate the entire service staff, excellent food, I visit every other week it’s is just amazing to find something around horley and near Gatwick airport would definitely recommend to visit atleast once.

What a great find! Walking distance from our hotel around the corner. A very warm welcome when we arrived, lovely atmosphere with a fairly full restaurant of happy diners. Exceptional menu, caters well for Vegetarians .. I chose the pineapple curry and wondered why it isn't a regular elsewhere, stunning flavours. Partner had the chicken Tikka wrap with sweet potato fries and salad, another amazing meal. Cobra to drink and one to take away to the hotel for a night cap. Lovely staff, lovely building, amazing food, thanks to all (well done chef!)

Visited for the first time . The pub has amazing attentive staff , with incredible portions and a great atmosphere , will be returning soon !

We live local to the black horse and it’s been for years not to bother!!! But now it’s been taken over, with great new management, bar staff were very friendly helpful. Good drinks. The manager there was so helpful and friendly! The chef came out to talk to us, what a lovely guy! His menus and cooking was fantastic. The lamb chops, and main and rice were 5 star. I can honestly say if you have not been, you must go, you will not be disappointed. We will be back #supportlocalpups

Both classic British dishes and a great selection of traditional Indian food. We had some Indian street food to start (Samosa Chaat etc) which was on-point and then moved onto Classic Grilled Butterfly Chicken burgers...great portion size and amazing buttermilk taste. This Pub/Restaurant is a great place with ample parking. The vibe was fantastic - staff very attentive. Excellent balance of both Meat n Vegetarian/Vegan dishes on the menu. Having 2 extremely critical children when it comes to food, they were super happy and couldn't wait to come back 🙂 The customer base is very diverse ranging from family's, to groups of friends and couples.

Black horse has been transformed from what it was before. A really nice and joyous place for us to visit as a family. Really nice staff , chefs and branch manager. Everyone is so nice and make a point to personally connect which is really lovely. We would recommend this pub to anyone interested. You will not regret it.

We are lucky to have such an amazing pub in Horley! The food and service are the best in the area. They offer Indian and English food that are equally delicious. Can’t wait to visit again!

16 family & friends celebrated a 50th birthday party, Everyone enjoyed their food, Service was excellent, For a busy night & our big order the chef carried out an awesome job, Highly recommended this restaurant

We stopped here on the way to the airport for lunch and what a nice surprise, food was amazing (both proper British pub food and Indian food) we’ll definitely be back. Thanks Chef Rocky

Excellent Indian food and fantastic service. Very flavoursome and unique dishes, but what makes the place is the exceptional friendly service and the staff. Andrea, Irina and Elena provided excellent service and we had the pleasure of the chef Rocky to recommend dishes, we wouldn’t normally have gone for.

Fantastic place, fantastic food and excellent service. The credit goes to Andreea and Irina. Well done Andreea & team 🌺

Highly recommend!! great food, excellent customer service friendly and accommodating and very doggie and family friendly. The curries are the best I have tasted in the area, and the food menu has a good selection of choices Definately one of the top places to eat!

Visited for birthday celebration .. 16 of us in the party .. the staff were friendly & attentive & the food was delicious .. we all had various items off the menu & everyone’s meal was served hot & we all enjoyed the choices we’d made .. we will definitely be returning .. so many choices on the menu … can absolutely recommend .. you will not be disappointed!

Lost its charm, mass produce food frozen menu was extensive Service was fast but moody waiter Wouldn’t return it’s like a weatherspoon now not a country type pub anymore which is shame

We’ve been already 10 times since they took over and each time it’s been brilliant . The food we’ve tried so far it’s out of this world . Had been couple only or with extensive family and each time the service and food were outstanding....

Excellent service, delicious food and great price - what a treat. We were just staying nearby for a flight at Gatwick, it was a great find.

Needed somewhere local for some quality food before flying from Gatwick the next morning. Food and service was excellent and good value. Kids had the usual nuggets, fish fingers, chips but we opted for the Indian menu. All freshly prepared and the lamb in the...

Staff and food were excellent beyond expectations , will definitely be back if we are in this area again. We had the Indian cuisine meal choice ,it was great and plenty of it 👍

Great food, great service and a really nice pub. This was our first time and we were really impressed. Would totally recommend.

Such a shame that the ratings for this now amazing restaurant pub seem to include the previous managements track record. We have been using this pub for most of our lives, and never has it been run so well and the food been so fantastic....

Excellent food and service. My son loved his beef wellington and I loved my curry. Huge menu with loads of choice! Chef Rocky came out to greet his guests and received a very positive welcome as everyone had clearly eaten well. Highly recommend

The food was well-cooked and presented, and portions generous. Service attentive and very friendly. Delighted with the choice - a good range of pub 'standard fare' and a great Indian menu too.

First, I should say that it seems unjust for the pre-takeover reviews to remain on TripAdvisor. All bar 2 of the previous negative opinions are based on a completely different business model [and ownership], so are very misleading. So, on to our experience of the...

Great service outstanding food, the team were very friendly and helpful when it came to food ordering and inquires 100% recommended

We stopped here for lunch on our way to the airport not knowing it had changed hands since our last visit. It is now run as a dual pub/Indian restaurant, but don’t let that put you off: the food was delicious! A couple of comments:...

Booked for a small small works Christmas meal and the food and atmosphere was good with the food both traditional and Indian very tasty.

Brilliant food and brilliant customer service and also brilliant timing on delivering food to the table I would recommend people to come here and have a meal

Privately owned business, they own 3 pubs and have just opened this one.Fab menu, English or Indian. Indian food, is delicious and the staff are attentive and service is great…….love having an Indian in the relaxed atmosphere of a pub. Give it a go. Super...

Great lunch on Boxing Day. Pub was extremely busy but the staff did a fantastic job. Food was excellent, service impeccable and overall a good meal. I’ll recommend it to everyone! Many thanks!

Service was awful, waited over an hour , then half the table was served and the others waited another 15 minutes. They were totally out of their depth

Oh what a shame, this pub used to be such a good pub to visit and the pub grub style food was very good. Now it is half empty , the draft ale has an appalling taste, more like Sarsons Vinegar than Doom Bar. The fish has a very fishy smell, so obviously not fresh. The lamb shank was very small well and truly over cooked and served on a yellow stodgy substance that looked like custard. Never again!

Just left after a wonderful meal with friends! Delicious food and fantastic staff and a relaxed atmosphere. We ate a mixture of both menus. Great value

We took a couple of friends here for dinner last night as it is local and we knew it had changed hands. We liked the choice of indian or classic pub food. It didn't disappoint, my husband had an excellent Indian dish which beat him, which doesn't happen often! I had the lamb on risotto rice which was something different but worked really well and was tasty. Our friends both had classic pub food which they enjoyed and the portions were plenty. The staff were hard working and very attentive. Towards the end of the evening the chef came out to ask how we had found the food and have a chat, he is clearly extremely passionate about his food, that was lovely touch. It is lovely to find a pub that is clearly going to be a fantastic place to eat and that that isn't trying to rip off with overpriced food. We will most definitely be returning.

Had a lovely family dinner 22 of us for a Christmas get together the food was all amazing the staff were so friendly and attentive and the chef rocky even came out to make sure we were all happy.

Ate off the Indian menu which offered great variety for vegetarian. The food was amazing and so tasty, great change from usual Indian menu. The service great and very friendly. I would recommend and will definitely be going back!

We went on a busy Sunday lunchtime but they found us a table. Very clean with a good choice of English and Indian food plus a children's menu. Helpful staff and reasonable prices. My partner said it would have been nice if sausage and mash...

Myself and a friend have always met up at the Black Horse. I have to say I didn't think the food could get any better but since it has changed hands it has. The chicken was so succulent and everything cooked to perfection. The chef...

Decided to go here for lunch as had the afternoon off work. We had never been since it has changed hands. Service and food both really good. We chose a selection of starters, prawns, battered fish, breaded courgettes, truffle fries, all delicious and cooked from...

We popped in for a family lunch, friendly staff - my wife had the ribs and I had the tikka wrap both were fantastic, the chief even came out to check all was well. Definitely going back for a curry.

I went for an early evening meal with friends and we had a really enjoyable time The staff were really pleasant and our meals were delicious. They have an English and Indian menu with a wide choice of meals. I was particularly pleased with the...

Black Horse, Charlswood We came here as we were staying in a local Gatwick Airport hotel in the area. It’s a very busy nice country pub that has a normal menu and also a posh Indian menu I ordered lamb cutlets (served on a wooden...

Lovely food and drinks with really friendly service. Nice venue with decent prices and a fab ambiance.

Just eaten and had a few drinks here. The food is amazing- we had the Shepherds pie, chicken pie and beef and ale pie and it was all utterly fantastic. The veg and potatoes were also cooked to perfection. Gutted we didn’t have 3 courses...

What a massive difference in service and quality from when it was owed by Hall & Woodhouse. Staff so pleasant, helpful and eager to please but the biggest change is the quality of the food. OMG. Indian or English, burgers or Biriani. Perfectly cooked, served...

Visited for dinner on Saturday and very busy. Menu, food and service was 5*+ So impressed we've booked for Christmas day dinner

We popped in for a quick lunch and we were very happy with what we had! Very nice two sided menu, pub grub one side and curries the other and quite an extensive range. I had a really nice chicken tikka wrap, which came with...

Really impressed by the excellent menu and good prices. Pub was busy with a warm cosy vibe. Will come back.

My friend and I enjoyed a delicious lunch today Wed 22nd November. My friend had the mushroom and spinach ravioli and I had the butternut squash risotto. Both meals were excellent, full of flavour and piping hot. Chef Rocky even came to our table to...

Wonderful food. I had an Indian meal, very tasty, not hot but tasty. Staff are present. Will visit again when I'm in the area.

Ate here on a Saturday night to try new menu and take over of pub. Four persons all eating off their Indian menu, was pleasantly surprised. Food was really tasty and reasonably priced as was the drinks. The pub was full but service was good...

It was our first time at this venue the services was extremely good and the quality of the food was outstanding.

Four of us went for lunch .The Black Horse had been transformed since our last visit . We tried the fish & chips, shepherds pie and the Greek chicken . Everyone was happy with their choice . The service from the waitress / manager was...

New owners new menu had the Indian menu was very impressed staff very friendly and helpful food came out fast Highly recommended

Visited here last night. There are 2 menus. Classic pub grub or the Indian menu. All I can say is wow! The Indian menu was incredible. Fresh, full of flavour and perfectly cooked. The staff were attentive and friendly. The star of the show was...

A lovely spot to visit. Great food and atmosphere. Chef Roki even brought our food out for us and gave us his most popular dish off the menu to try, which was lovely! Would deffo come back again when in the area.

Super! Had a fantastic meal with friends. A choice of traditional food and Indian but decided to try the Indian! It didn’t disappoint! Perfect in every way. Chef Roki came out and offered us a taster dish which was amazing! Polite and professional Waitress with...

On Saturday we had a delicious curry at the Black Horse. All 4 of us enjoyed the food, surroundings and friendly atmosphere, plus it was very good value for money. The manageress was very attentstive, and the chief friendly. A wonderful experience

We had trouble finding anywhere to book for 18 at lunchtime but the new owners couldn’t be more accommodating. Good choice of meal although there was no vegetarian options for kids but they would do a smaller portion from the main menu if needed. They...

Tried out a fusion of Indian and English starters for a lighter option and we weren't disappointed. Food was freshly cooked, hot and tasty. The waiters were all attentive and friendly. Would recommend 👌 🤗

A gem of a pub. The staff were all amazing. The choices of food fantastic. British/ Indian food. Prices very good. Definitely worth a visit if in the area. We will be back next time we are in the area.

Well what an amazing transformation! My wife and I turned up for an impromptu Saturday evening dinner half expecting the Black Horse to be closed as it had seemed to be going through very difficult times recently. To our delight, this lovely historic pub/restaurant is...

Family of 6 visited last night. We all tried the curry options and were pleasantly surprised. The meals were all hot and served together. Very friendly staff. Shout out to Andrea for serving us and Chef Rocky for our fabulous meal. An usual but great...

Really excellent lunch. Thoroughly enjoyed the food and glad it was dog friendly 😋🐕 Really good menu choice including Indian food. I had fish and chips which were the best I’ve had in any pub. Too full for pudding but good things to choose from....

Having been to their sister pub the parsons pig last year and not having a great experience, we thought we try out this new place as the reviews were good, well it wasnt any better, I would say it was worst. The service was better,...

We’ve tried this place as we often go to Peacock Lodge and we were in the area . The chilli paneer we had for starters was the best and the chicken munnar out of this world. The place was almost full for a Wednesday evening...

Pleased to see the Black Horse busy again now it is under new management. Enjoyed a lovely meal from a varied menu - something for everyone. Good choice of drinks. Reasonably priced. Very pleasant, attentive and helpful staff. Altogether excellent and we will be returning.

Under new management and bringing from the other Parsons pubs the winning combination of pub grub and Indian food. We went for Indian and it was exceptional, menu choices available that are not in your average high street Indian. Lots of flavour and very friendly...

Always come here for lunch when flying out from Gatwick. New owners and were not disappointed. Great roast dinner. Well cooked, hot and plenty of it. Staff were really attentive and friendly so will be back again

The Black Horse was our ‘go to’ venue for a drink and something to eat when in the Gatwick area. We visited upon our return from a holiday in Greece. Upon entering the Pub, the first thing I see is a notice saying ‘ Cash...

Had a wonderful evening eating excellent food served by wonderful, friendly staff. Great variety too.

Food was ordinary, like the service. Very expensive as well. Don’t think they can be bothered with customers

My friend and I visited for lunch today..... what a lovely atmosphere. The two bar staff, Holly and Kai were absolutely delightful, had a great sense of humour and were very attentive! Even the regulars were lovely and pleasant. We've decided to visit the pub...

Fabulous food and such friendly staff. Everyone enjoyed their meal and they had a nice selection of alcoholic beverages. Great dinner!

Visited here for lunch prior to going onto Gatwick airport. Really nice atmosphere and service. Food was really good too. Will visit again if in the area.

Popped in for a meal en route to Gatwick. There was a lovely lady behind the bar and another lovely lady serving who were both friendly and helpful. There were plenty of vegan choices all clearly labelled and the non vegan food was apparently equally...

Unfortunately we can’t give you our usual 5. The steak and ale pie had some pieces of steak in it that were very chewy and had to be left. It was not up to the usual standard. The confit of duck was delicious. I ordered...

Not for the first time, we went to the pub for a meal on our way to Gatwick (for dinner when we stay the night before an early morning flight, this time for lunch) and once again we were impressed with the setting, the service...
