The Black Horse in South Bucks

Very expensive!! 2 x sausage and mash £33.50!! When I got home realised I been charged £8.18 service charge 12%.

Lovely hot lunch with gluten free needs catered for. Easy parking. Sorry to hear the farm shop closed. Definitely will be back

We attended a Wedding at Fulmer and had a two night stay at the BH. The bedrooms were outstanding (as long as you like quirky) and the attention to detail was abundant. We were checked in by a lovely Japanese lady who could not have been more helpful. This applies to all the staff and we loved the Chef who provided our breakfast (unfortunately did not catch his name hails from Madeira) great entertainer! Would we recommend? Without a doubt.

Nice pub, invested a lot of money but seem to refuse to hire enough staff. Everytime I have been service had been awful

I came here as a family wanting to eat at a pub in the countryside. Our beef was great and our daughter’s kids Berger was very nice good quality for kids. ( usually kids menu is so so ) Service was good especially lady call Sharon was very nice with our daughter.

I love this pub. The pub itself, inside and out, is great. But…there’s a but. The food is ok to good, which is fine if it was also priced at that level but it’s way too expensive for what it is. The beer and ale selection is not great. It’s a pity as this place could easily be flawless

Lunch on Saturday, absolutely wonderful, fillet steak, triple cooked chips, peppercorn sauce, gorgeous young staff, lovely vibe ,see you soon

Didn’t stay here or go to the farm shop but the food was amazing, service was brilliant. But the little shed where we were seated really made this place stand out to me. They had a fire going for us and the area felt like a VIP lounge. Very peaceful, very nice. Would recommend.

Great food. Great service. Really nice pub

Really should get a decent chef they can afford one at the prices they charge Overcooked tough lamb, dried out chicken pale insipid roast potatoes, need I go on..

We had dinner at The Black Horse this evening. Our food was exceptional. Our waitress Jess was delightful. Although it's not a cheap night out, we were happy to pay the bit extra for such delicious food. It was our first visit and we will definitely be back.

Have to say, disappointed today at lunch time.we arrived when not too busy 1pm and ordered our food, service was poor to say the least. It took 40 minutes to get our food when other guests had arrived after us and served before us, extremely frustrating.we have been many times previously but after today’s experience we will not be returning.

Could not get to the bar full of so called Construction Film workers every other word was the "F" word & they even made fun of people in wheelchairs . Just to add £6.75 for a pint of Guinness. I wish I wouldn't of bothered going in THERE.

Lovely place to go for food and drink. But expensive but that's for good reason

A nice place where we are typical english food

Very disappointed in Sunday lunch booked for 8 table wasn't ready. Very slow service seemed to short of although who were there were pleasant but not very experienced in my opinion. Food was disappointing. Undercooked calamari dry chicken in the skewers. Aneimic roast potatoes, very poor green veg. Carrots were nice. Beef was overcooked. Desserts were good. Pork belly was good. Overall disappointing and very expensive drinks. Would not return

Awful. Expensive. Waited over an hour and a half for mains. The table we were placed at was right in front of the wood burner so was clearly just shoved there too. As soon as we got in the car my partner felt incredibly sick. Will not be returning.

Came here for a family 21st birthday lunch in a bubble outside. Heard such great things for years, have been a couple of times but now I definitely would not return. Food was unbelievably overpriced. Two starters were cold when they arrived, when remade they were covered in oil. The service was incredibly slow to start, then when we complained regarding the cold starters, manager didn’t even apologise. The rest of the food was very average, glasses weren’t cleared, bubble we sat in was cold and covered in mould. When we requested blankets they didn’t arrive until half way through our mains after asking multiple times. Generally a very underwhelming experience. Shocked when the bill arrived at the extortionate prices. I had to ask the barman to remove the two sold starters, still no acknowledgement from management. I have worked in pubs for years and I was so disappointed by the service and lack of recognition from management. Such a shame as the pub has so much going for it! What has happened!

Enjoyed a lovely meal at this friendly pub tonight…nothing to dislike at all, thanks to all staff.

I never normally write a review but do NOT visit. The service was awful, the worst I have experienced. The manager was beyond rude to all of my family. Everything was late but staff being verbal abusive on what was meant to be a celebratory meal was the highlight!

Do NOT go. Food was awful, service was shocking, they brought the wrong food and drinks over. To top off the evening, the manager was incredibly rude and poor behaviour with my entire family. Ruined what was meant to be a celebratory meal.

Happened upon The Black Horse whilst walking the Beeches Way and stayed for a welcome pint whilst waiting for the Carousel bus to Gerrards Cross Stn.

Went for lunch yesterday and ordered Wholetail Scampi from the lunchtime menu. Unfortunately it was not scampi but vegan substitute. Quite honestly it was disgusting. On questioning the staff of what exactly we were eating she went into the kitchen to find the contents of the bag were a vegan scampi alternative. Just as well we didn’t have food allergies either as we weren’t asked before we dined. Won’t be going back and does make you wonder what else is being dished up as alternative substitutes.

Friendly staff, large car park, excellent food. Having stayed here recently, I would recommend this establishment for the food and the accommodation. My bedroom was large, comfortable and warm. The bed was easy to fall asleep in although the springs were a little noisy. The bathroom had a choice of a large standalone bath and a large cascade shower. A good choice of food in the restaurant with friendly, chatty staff.

£21 for 4 pints and £47.50 for 4 shots was a nice pub way over priced

A great stay in a lovely little pub. Although checking out was a little bit awkward because there is no one on sight early in the morning.

What an incredible tasting experience. We popped in on our way home. It is a lovely little pub with a farm shop out the back. Different quirky places to sit and a great deal.on 2 courses if you book in advance. The food was to die for. My favourite dish was the mushrooms on toast with mushroom ketchup. Portion sizes are very reasonable and we had to ask for a takeaway box. It is on the expensive side for us (4 adults, 2 courses each cost £175 including tip) but all our dishes were well seasoned and cooked to perfection. Wth this quality and level of detail, it was worth the price.

I recently purchased a Rolls Royce from the owner of this pub Taylor McPherson, after being assured the car was genuine I paid his father Howard McPherson as instructed by Taylor, upon collecting the vehicle I took the car to Rolls Royce and was advised that the vehicle was fitted with a mileage Blocker by Howard McPherson back in 2020, after a full investigation it came to light he has done this to a lot of vehicles, I contact both Taylor and Howard they to take the car back and return my hard earnt money they started blaming everything under the sun apart from themselves and will not return my money. These people have multiple businesses in the village, please avoid buying from them, they will go to great lengths to take your hard earnt money fraudulently. Whoever reads this review please pass message to as many people as you can…. Avoid Avoid Avoid

We ordered food - very basic - salad and a starter - and it never arrived. We asked multiple times - no food. We had to leave without eating - the manager was not available. Very poor service and would not recommend.

Please avoid this place! I never write reviews but had to on this one to warn.. The drinks were obviously watered down and I was left with food poisoning.. I dont know how they are allowed to serve the food they do..I believe you used to be able to get a decent grub at one time however the owner Taylor doesnt pay his staff, they end up leaving and the new chef they have has no food hygiene standards nor knows how to cook..day 3 and I have never felt so ill.. PLEASE AVOID!!!

Came here for a birthday lunch a group of 12 Seated outside and the venue is lovely The food was ok The service was terrible Lots of very young staff who unfortunately were not attentive They forgot about a lot of our order of food and drinks and you’d only see them every 30 minutes A shame as it could be great if managed properly

Used to enjoy coming here when we lived in London. Nice to see the Farm Shop as a new addition but nothing really that unique or enticing produce wise. Whoever is doing the buying needs to up their game. No pastries and not much bread. Fresh produce looked good. Anyway we stopped for a quick drink, a pint and a small coke £10! As the title says. I would like to think our order came in below ten pounds?

Food and service really good but two Aperol Spritz cost £29! I thought that was a bit steep and soured the event. Drinks menu not evident so watch out.

Came here in 2008 on a family trip from America had to quickly trade some stocks for friends back home when I was overheard by a customer who told me to f right off! Good food and drink plenty of seeds

Recently stayed here and everything was spot on. Lovely place with amazing food. Staff were also very friendly and helpful!

A group of us came for brunch and despite it being quiet, and there being plenty of staff shooting in and out of their hiding places the service wasn't great. We had a variety of cooked breakfasts and other brunch offerings, three people had scrambled eggs that were only borderline cooked and therefor they left them, the toast was huge slabs that were really hard to cut, almost dried as well as toasted, tomatoes were hard. We didn't complain as our purpose was to have a catch up but the plates were cleared without anyone asking us if the food had been ok or querying the amount of left food. Just small details that made it average and maybe stand out a bit for the wrong reasons, the rest of the food on the plates was good. Looking at the reviews recently and my passed experiences of dining here it's clear something has changed. This place was always expensive but the quality of food and service made that acceptable. I hope they read the reviews on here and have a reflect on how to get back to their previous standards.

We popped in on the off chance that a table was available and sat outside. This pub is in a great location and very well presented. The outside area has a nice vibe and lots of staff about. So far so good. The bad news is that both food and drink are very expensive and to be honest not 'up to much'. The wife had dined here before and said it was expensive but we decided to give it another 'go'. This only served to prove the point so a lovely place spoilt by OTT prices and I wont be going there again.

Service fine but food average and very pricey. £15.50 for six or seven scampi, fries and a tiny serving of tartar sauce is extortion! No salad, no peas, nothing . Two scampi meals, a house white wine, and a lime and soda cost £43.59! Would not recommend.

We stopped at the Black Horse on Saturday afternoon. The garden area was nice but we were disappointed with the service. Drinks were expensive and food not only took a long time to come but the salads were drenched in dressing. The kids sausages looks like they were anaemic and served cold. For a kids meal, a starter salad, chips and a Caesar salad (chicken was an extra £8), an aperol spritz, 2 beers and an appletizer our bill was £97. Definitely not worth it and would absolutely not recommend.

Food is fine but overpriced. The service was fine and the staff seemed to be doing their best but not sure they were trained at all. There was a strange vibe going on, a few groups of young men who I think were in one of the lodges but they just seemed to be constantly wandering around in a big group. No choice of gin, or at least not that I was offered.

Lovely staff, good service, lovely setting and dog friendly. Pretentious food and overpriced. Caesar salad £14.50 without chicken…Nicoise salad same price..no tuna. Extra £7-8 for the meat..wow. Salad itself wasn’t special and too much mayonnaise. Burger very ordinary for the price too. I wouldn’t go for the food! I actually went here by mistake, there’s another black horse nearby which is dog friendly and their food is much nicer!

Service was poor and the food took an extremely long time to arrive. As soon as we asked if it would be any longer, it immediately appeared and had clearly been sat for a long time. The food was very average and rather overpriced.

We had lunch at the Black Horse , Fulmer, with 3 dogs. The staff were very accommodating and helpful. Lunch itself was an easy choice from a comprehensive menu.

very large site with a massive farm shop which was closed in the evening but really looked good through the windows. Lots of parking which is lit once the sun goes down. Service was good and the food very tasty. I had the sausage and mash while my partner had the chicken pie. Both were good however the pie was a little dry and the top crust was too thick. We nearly needed a chisel to get through it so please roll your pastry a lot thinner for the lids please, tasted good though. Thank heavens you supplied a jug of gravy with it. We will try you again, we enjoyed it and your staff were very pleasant.

We obviously went at the wrong time! We arrived around 1pm for anniversary lunch. Drinks arrived promptly-but that was the only thing that did. A starter to share arrived after a long wait, it was OK and homemade spring rolls. Our mains took forever and appeared around 2.20!!! Other tables were waiting ages too. After the long wait a fish and chips and home made sausages appeared. The fish was a small thin piece covered in thick batter, it's saving grace was the batter was crispy at least. The sausages we're very nice though. Other people coming in after us got their food a lot quicker and their fish looked a lot more appetising than my husbands did! We've eaten better and for less money (Chester 2 weeks ago for instance) so will not be rushing back anytime soon. The ambience is good and in the better weather I'm sure the outside seating area is lovely. Service was slow but the girls were rushed off their feet as it was busy.

Took an hour for our roast to come out and they didn’t even bring the veg even after we asked for it! Service was awful, there is no particular staff member working a certain section so you have to keep asking for more drinks rather than them coming to you! Would not recommend going unless you want to wait ages for below standard/overly priced food. I will not be returning. Such a shame as it used be be a good restaurant with previous management

Waited nearly an hour and a half for our food and wasn't even busy. Very overpriced, terrible service, average food . Would never return.

This morning was the 2nd bad experience I’ve had with The Black Horse in the space of a week. As a pre lockdown regular to this establishment I’m afraid to say it’s gone majorly down hill. On Saturday 24th April I visited for a late lunch for my birthday with family. We ordered drinks and food but was told the food would be a wait due to how busy they were. Not an issue as I understand during these times. The starters arrived and were nice and up to usual food standards. Between starters and mains we had to ask 4 different people for a glass of ice! How hard is it to bring a glass of ice? I also had to ask more than 3 times for drinks that I’d ordered that hadn’t arrived to the table.When the main courses came the waitress dropped both dinners she was carrying all over the table. I understand that accidents happen but she didn’t really apologise and had to be promoted to remove the food and replace the meals.The meals were eventually replaced but were not the same standard as the original meals and the portions were smaller and looked like they had been thrown together with no care. My partner ordered a salad with chicken on top. The chicken was forgotten and by the time they had brought it out we had nearly all finished eating. Both burgers that were ordered had no cheese & bacon in that was requested upon ordering. Again I had to ask more than twice for more drinks that had not come. It seemed to be a common occurrence for us asking for things more than once. This really should be addressed by management as it’s unacceptable. When the bill came we had drinks added onto it that we hadn’t even ordered. I had to challenge the waitress to get these removed. We spent over £400 but felt that due to the poor service we would not be paying the service charge. When challenging to remove it the young lady started to be very rude and abrupt about it us wanting to remove it. She had little if any customer service skills and this is not how paying customers should be treated. Today I also visited for breakfast with my partner and son. We waited ages for food again. When breakfast arrived my partners scrambled eggs on toast looked like a mashed up omelette. The sausages were missing from my full english and my fried eggs were all burnt underneath. When we complained to the waitress she told us that she was sorry but non kitchen staff were working in the kitchen? Why would you use non kitchen staff in the kitchen? To add to insult all the food that was served was stone cold and had to wait another 20 minutes for some cutlery for us to even eat our food and by then it wasn’t worth it. The food was absolutely disgraceful for £30 and I would of been better off going to Wetherspoons. Both occasions have now put me off returning to our local The Black Horse. On conclusion the breakfast/service needs serious improvements. Some of the staff are un professional and rude and need improvements in customer service skills and how to deal with people. I would not recommend The Black Horse to anybody and I will be writing a formal complaint to the manager about my experience as it was totally unacceptable.

This place is a little gem We hired a pod for the evening and had a lovely girls evening out, food was delicious, wine was fantastic, service was generally good, good value for money / what more could you ask for! Will definitely be going back, and hubby is off for a boys night out too!

Just wanted to how lovely the Black Horse Farm Shop is. After living in the village for 19 years the only thing missing was a shop. Not only has Howard provided this but such a lovely place to visit. Something good to come out of COVID. It is not just a shop but an outing. Thank you to Howard, Regan and the team for everything over the last year. Can’t wait for the pub to open again as well.

I have been a patron and employee of the Black Horse for many years and a long-time resident of Fulmer.I found the recent review to be totally uncharacteristic of any interactions at this wonderful historic pub.To the contrary, the owner has always treated his customers well, and has gone out of his way to assist the community during these difficult time, and has provided a local, accessible location to get fresh produce.Negative reviews are totally inconsistent with any of the great experiences that are received by Fulmer Residents for this lovely ShopI recommend you drop in and visit the Fulmer Farm Shop.

The Blackhorse was a regular place for us to eat and pop in for drink. We went for a family lunch under the rule of 6 during the pandemic. A large group of men, not socially distancing, ordering shots and bottles of vodka with a couple of plates of chicken wings welcomed us!! They were loud and swearing. Another family and us complained to the Manager who was useless and thought it was ok for this group to carry on having a party and she went to move us outside!! When we said it should be 6 people from the same household with a substantial meal she said she could only go by the information they gave her!! Totally useless, obviously the pub was earning more from them drinking than two families having lunch!! We left never to go back. Don't bother to visit unless you want to get Covid!!!

What a treasure this place is. Amazing food and service, the staff are friendly and attentive. We’ve also been eating their takeaways during lockdown so yummy and delivered straight to us - can’t recommend enough!! We can’t wait to see you again when you open

If you want over priced food and drink, terrible service and a good chance of getting COVID - this is the place to go. After several disappointing visits, we will be going elsewhere. The Black Horse seems to be completely disinterested in sorting themselves out.

Fabulous lunch for a group of old school friends although food is a bit pricey. Food, atmosphere, service all first class. Can't wait to use the outside pods later this year. This really is a forward thinking,customer friendly pub.

I love this pub , the food is great, not cheap but you get what you pay for in my eyes . the regular staff are great and friendly and they are on you soon as you walk in . but today was an exception . we had booked a table and pre booked our food so we did not have to wait long . the four girls behind the bar where more interested in chatting to one another than actually being interested in your paying customers . I usually do not have wait or have to ask for drinks when i have been sat at a table for more than 10 min considering there seemed to be more staff than customers . Food did not come out all at once ? Drinks took forever , list goes on i just felt we had to keep chasing them to get what we wanted, even the bill took 3 of them to finally get it for us !!! Bill came and was charged £9.66 service charge . I always tip in here but thats because the waiter /waitress deserves it . But you are having a laugh charging me this today i should off questioned it but company present decided to decline . Real shame because you have gone to great lengths to make your pub so covid proof , place is a shadow of itself and if your staff do not care then why should i ? Hopefully things wont go from bad to worse again and you have close your doors again for another lock down !! And not one of them can pull a pint of Guinness if they did that in Ireland there be a riot !!! Great food but your staff lack customer service .

Upon arriving restaurant was very cold as mention by the 2 ladies next to us who kept their gloves on.When mentioning to waitress didn’t seem to care.Poor service generally.Crispy beef salad tough and like leather as seemed to be more like biltongSteaks ordered rare and medium but both rare , couldn’t be bothered sending back as to cold and wanted leave and also left half the steak.Dangerous bit wasOn arrival you have cutlery for 3 courses on the table and if you are only having starters the waitress removed the rest of the cutlery.On 2 occasions customers I witnessed had touched the cutlery and then removed by waitress and put back straight into cutlery draw without cleaning/sanitising which totally shocked me and must break every COVID law going.I spoke to an alleged manageress who frankly didn’t give a damn !!! And was more interested in her friends sitting opposite!!!Used to rate this pub but will not be going back.

A friendly restaurant serving very nice food, although charging top prices for meals that are not that special.No drinks menus and prices were outrageous for a gin and tonic, presented again in a very basic glass, no lemon/lime, or extra touch.Bar staff had no knowledge of what was on offer and a drinks menu would have helped them.Bar was heaving and in no way COVID friendly and the smell from the toilets filled the whole pub.Happy to pay for something good, but this was far from exceptional but wouldn't take much to get it where it needs to be.Either reduce your prices to reflect what you offer,or invest in your staff, menu and service, if you are looking for your guests to return.

Came here with a friend, the food was pretty average and very over priced for basic pub food. It is let down by the service and staff attitudes. I understand the pressures that the staff are under in the current climate but the managements attitude has not changed since my last visit. Will not be returning and would not recommend.

We came here for lunch and had made a reservation. We were seated and served quickly. The staff were friendly and very well organised. The food is lovely, though overpriced when compared to other pubs. Would recommend the sausage and mash.

We went there last week 4th October to have a Sunday roastIt was very pricey at 19.75 for a mixed roast, but we haven't been out for a while and thought we would treat ourselves, The roast was awesome the meat was cooked very well and there was a good amount of it, could of been one or two more potatoes but we were still full by the end of the mealwhat I was very disappointed with was being charged nearly £7 for a pint of beer and over £11 for a glass of wineI think we all agree we don't mind paying for quality but there is a line you cross when you feel you are being ripped offand course there was still a service chargeSorry but I won't be eating or drinking there again

Really good food, we had an amazing mixed roast. Also the melted camember with bread was amazing. They even had a good selection of wines.The problem is the service, absolutely terrible. Probably the slowest waiters I’ve ever had, and even a bit rude. We waited so long to get food and everything then came together (starters and mains). It just seems that the waiters would prefer to do anything else rather than being there and serve clients. 4 stars for the food, 0 stars for the service.

Fantastic renovation, beautiful pub, fantastic layout, and facilities. However, let down by the staff, slow, inattentive, had to ask for menus, orders were wrong, not once were we asked if we would like anything else. Waitress looked like she hated her job and didn’t smile once. Such a shame the staff let down such a lovely pub.

Not worth the money 2 pints larger 2 white wine £36 disgusting even got served in plastic cups!!!!! ¡¡!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very good food served by friendly staff. This was the second visit in a week. I really like this place and will definitely go back again. Overall a good experience. It was very busy on both occasions- both Mondays so the Eat Out to Help Out deal applied. It's fair to say there didn't appear to be enough staff given the amount of guests there were, but those who were certainly apologised for any delays. They were very welcoming and friendly. I wholeheartedly support this place which continues to serve excellent food and drink in a safe environment whilst adapting during difficult times.

I've been to this pub twice in 2 weeks and both times really disappointed. The 1st time our orders were mixed up, thr bill was wrong and service was slow.Yesterday I went there again and couldn't believe how poor the service was. 30 minutes after seating I had to get up and and order drinks at the bar (I commented on how it looks like we are forgotten about) as no one approached us. We waited for a while and again had to ask if anyone could take our food order and then was told the kitchen is closed! We arrived at 8pm for dinner and after our only option was dessert! Definitely not going there again!

Great food. The portion ps are great and the variety is big. The staff are pleasant. Inside and outside seating

Such a massive shame. Our lunch was failed in so many levels. But the winning failure was the non existent service from lazy staff who couldn't have given less of a @#&* that we were spending money with them. Without hesitation I removed the service charge from our bill and had it not been for the Eat Out to Help Out discount we received on the meal I would have been livid. Such a shame that this appears to be the only place to eat in the area. The setting is lovely. Food average and overpriced for what it is. Service diabolicle. Will not return and we only live in Beaconsfield.

Came here with a group of 9 of us after work for dinner. Was fairly busy the service wasn't great, had to get our own menus, our second order of drinks never arrived so had to collect them ourselves and was told it would take ages for them to take payment at the end so they told us to queue up at the bar and pay ourselvesFood was really good but only knowing we were getting 50% off otherwise not worth the expensive pricesAlso bought a 'jam' donut from the farm shop which had virtually no jamif you're going to go - recommend the sharing bread board for £6 as get a lot of bread for the money and comes out warm!

Really poor experience:- Poor Covid preps. Reused menus. Insufficient distance between table. No contact tracing. People rammed in with no thought to the dangers they are causing. - Menu choice really poor. Think ribs and burgers and you are about there. Really expensive for what it is - £30 for an 8oz steak. - Very loud band playing when we arrived. - Drinks took 20 mins to turn up. - We moved tables because of the noise. And told the waiters twice to make sure they didn’t think we had left. - starters didn’t turn up after 1 hour. - Owner was really rude. Blamed us and said we could have our food or leave. He didn’t care. One of the nastiest people I have ever met. Other reviews say some really horrible things about this guy. Google him!!!- So we left and went to the Crown Inn in Farnham Common. Which was awesome.

Don't waste your money! Service is terrible! Over 50 mins to be offered a drink, a further hour to get a main meal and over 40 mins to get the bill!!!!

We have eaten here quite a few time’s over the years and the food is good but not great. The service is usually friendly but there are frequently long food wait times. Seems quite pricey for what you get.

Honestly the food was delicious & we both absolutely loved it ... even if it was missing the cheese off the burger BUT then the I guess that makes up for the staff... we arrived at 12pm with two other groups in the large garden, no staff greeting so we took a table keeping our distance from the other tables. Once we where finally clocked by a member of staff they came over rudely asked if we booked & when we responded with a no we got an eye roll & she walked off as if we shouldn’t have been there & we where a hindrance ... about 5 minutes or so later she brought over a menu & took our drink order!! For the first round of drinks they where brought over on a tray after it had been to another table first ... but after that & for many other customers they where carrying drinks over in their hands ... holding them at the rim of the glasses (plastic glasses), non of the staff where wearing a mask, gloves or even using hand sanitizer between customers. Considering we are in the middle of a pandemic I feel like they could be doing a lot more ... we also didn’t even have any details taken from us for the track & trace. Having been to a number of pubs since the reopening the black horse did very little to make it safe and secure. Overall the food was amazing but it was let down by the staff & cost of a beer!!!

If your idea of a rare old time is spending the best part of a tenner on a pint, served with a scowl by a late pubescent who would literally rather be anywhere than having to spend valuable nanoseconds away from the 'gram, in your dreary presence, earning a crust, then the Black Horse awaits your visit like a pit full of punji sticks.Perhaps you are the weary walker in need of sustenance in Fulmer's number one (of one) eating house? Well then, you won't mind your appetite being keened by a protracted wait whilst someone summons the energy to take your reassuringly expensive order. And then a not inconsiderable delay awaiting its delivery.Come the weekend and the tastes of the more hedonistic patron are amply catered for as you join the line of cheerfully aggressive, Lynx-perfumed youths at the outdoor bar as they cordially swear at each other across the spacious and comfortable beer garden, all the while engaging in a subtly nuanced romantic gavotte with their immaculately-eyebrowed, harridan-voiced female counterparts.All in all a very special and cherished hostelry which will hopefully stay open for ever and never be destroyed completely by localised asteroid strike.

Service wasn’t great. Had to ask twice for drinks. Food was good but expensive. What was more concerning was there was no social distancing. Tables were too close together in restaurant and staff didn’t wear masks. Toilets were nasty too. Would go back but only if we could sit in their lovely outside space.

Great staff ,excellent food, really cosy pub lovely setting great garden for kids I can't praise them enough for the food supplies during lockdown

I have to say, The Black Horse has re-opened and they have done it properly! The garden has been re-organised to allow for social distancing, the staff were very respectful of their distancing to customers whilst being as helpful as possible, and the service was fantastic. The food was of course as delicious as ever! To anyone venturing out for their first outing after this lockdown I would highly recommend this pub.

1) Dreadful food2) Dreadful service over 2.5 hours to get starter and main course 3) Dreadful manageresss4) No.1 in Fulmer because there is nothing else5) It was dreadful before the lock down so don't even think about using that as an excuse.Shame on you,Dr. James Sumnet

This place is a last resort if nothing else open.I went for a take away and the food was really bad, i would have eaten better if tesco had a warm up meal. Cost me nearly 50 pounds and the staff who look about 15 are very rude. I won't go back. I have eaten there before and I was a fool to go back. It is very average food at top restaurant prices. You will leave feeling like you have been mugged. AVOID

During these challenging times I thought I would support our local pub and purchase a few things from their Farm Shop setup in the parking lot of their establishment.It was a particularly sunny day when I visited and as I drove into the car park, I was directed by a young member of staff to the back of the pub, I thought this was odd at the time but followed their instructions.On driving a little further into the car park, I was absolutely flabbergasted! No less than 100 people were being served alcohol and having a wonderful merry time in the PUB GARDEN of this establishment. There was no social distancing being obeyed and this pub clearly has complete disregard of any laws in place during this pandemic! They have even rented public toilets which have been setup in the parking lot!THE BLACK HORSE, you are a disgrace, you think you are above the law and you are NOT. I hope the local authorities comes down hard on you! I can assure you, you have lost another potential customer!Local residents and friends, please don't support this business!

Called in Bank holiday Monday to get a takeaway coffee and sandwich prior to a walk . The choice of food available for takeaway is great and mouthwatering, lots of happy customers all distancing well, ordered coffee’s and sandwiches , they arrived promptly and were really delicious. They have everything you need available, pastries , fruit and veg’ a very good selection of drinks and hot food . Well worth going for shopping instead of queuing at the supermarket.

Rude staff, food poisoning from chicken potatoes tasted strange, when called the pub they where so rude.

Credit to all The Black Horse. Ordered a take-out for 4pm on Sunday. Order ready on time, brought out by very friendly staff. Food was excellent. Tremendous enterprise guys. Keep up the good work. Stay safe and healthy 🙏🙏

Full marks to the Black Horse and its staff during these difficult time. Free coffee to go for NHS staff, and now there own farmers village market where you can get vegetables and even roast chicken from the oven. Utmost attention to all government guidelines and social distancing etc, all in all a very very brave effort and deserves a round of applause. I had a rib eye take away steak there this evening and it was fantastic. Love the effort, well done.

We ordered a Sunday lunch to be picked up at 1pm., I must congratulate the Black Horse as the service was great and the food was amazing. We drove home and the food was still hot and tasted delicious!!! Will definitely be using the service again

4 fish & chips, 4 beers, one large glass of wine and one coke came to £112. The meal wasn’t even the standard of take away at its worst.Complained with no response whatsoever . In this climate you need to make more of an effort on such basic food. To make things worse tried to palm us off with regular size wine until it was queried ,A small glass was brought to the table with little apology .

We went for an early dinner last Thursday we were the only couple in the restaurant at the time. We ordered Bangers and Mash and Scampi and chips.Both very poor, service not great and price extortionate.A large glass of wine £11.50! had we have known at the time it would probably been cheaper for a bottle.Total bill for above and 2 glasses of wine £65

I was very disappointed with the reaction of your staff, I wasn't given anything to clean up the drink over my clothes and new suede boots. I went into the loos and when returning the floor was still wet and ice over the floor and my seat. It was explained to my friend that this happens when ice is added to hot glasses. Because of this I called the manager and she said that it was only water (in fact I had light colour blouse and it was coke so hardly water) and was totally dismissive not offering any apology wotsoever. Because of this reaction I asked if the owner to contact me and haven't heard a thing....such a shame its lovely food but the workers are having a go at each other customers can hear very unprofessional !!

The food is always excellent here. Not the place to go if you are in a rush, as the service is quite slow. This is not a bad thing, as it’s unusual to not be rushed through a meal. Just had a celebration lunch with friends and the meal took 3 and a half hours. Not a criticism, but a warning to anyone not wanting a wait a while for their food.

such a lovely old pub divided into a number of rooms most with a wood burning fire to add to the cosiness. We managed to find a large table by the window. I read the comments about staff not being up to standard but I have to say this was not our experience as they were friendly and welcoming. We shared the tapas which came piping hot and beautifully cooked. My one complaint is that the wine by the glass is over-priced.

The service is brilliant. Even they are short of staff sometimes, they work so hard and they will do anything to make sure you have a pleasant stay. Sunday Roast is to die for, best in the area. Love it

Drove past and thought we'd pop in for a drink and see if the reason we have given this nice looking pub a wide berth for years had managed to improve its staff attitudes.

Been driving past this pub for years , decided to pop in for a birthday drink with my partner . Perfect for a quiet afternoon drink .

The location and interior of the pub are lovely. There's an open fire which ads to the atmosphere. The food was okay, but nothing special; the steak especially was subpar.

This is a proper modern public house. Fine ales, great food, a roaring fire and charming staff. Proper.

This is a lovely village pub with great atmosphere, excellent service and delicious food. However the prices are equivalent to London, West End. Fair enough because the quality is there and you are aware of the price when you order. However when the bill came an additional £2.00 was added because we ordered a bit more gravy to prevent our beef becoming dry. This seems very mean-minded and parsimonious. Only a little thing but it spoilt the otherwise excellent experience. The bill for 2 roast beef and 1 pudding with a bottle of Merlot and a pint of beer was £85.00 without service!

We were two couples entered into a golf competition nearby at Stoke Park with an early start. Given that the usual hotel we use for the night before stay was full I found The Black Horse was an option for us.

Went out for the evening with friends they to took us to the pub were we had a meal there was a good choice of dishes on the menu i had the Ribeye which was very good,the service was excellent but not intrusive all in all a very good evening.

Great location, with a lovely garden, in a pretty and quiet village setting. Service was OK, and the staff were very pleasant. The food was OK and the roast dinners were passable, although the beef was a little chewy and served *very* rare. However, the bass portion was tiny, and served on a bed of soggy vegetables, with no carb. Each meal is priced at around £18-20 per person, which seems about average for the area. Although £4.75 for a side portion of chips is very expensive to add to a meal with no carb.
