The Black Horse Hotel Restaurant in Craven

Unfortunately the chilli I had lacked taste and was very watery. I think there is too much choice on the menu resulting in an inability to cook dishes from scratch. They offer traditional pub food as well as around the world dishes which is a nice touch if you can deliver. It felt like it had been taken out of the freezer and blasted in the microwave as the vegetables were extremely hard and the beef chewy!

Stayed here the night and was not disappointed with the room or food, worth every penny. A charming village. Friendly and welcoming.. go there.. its lovely. Tip, if you know what you want to eat before going, pre book as it as they can run out as a popular place to eat. thank you.

We were expecting a pub atmosphere but where we were sat was more of a restaurant, food was okay though and we were allowed to take our dog in, however I didn't like having a 10% tip being added to our bill, we always tip if we consider the food and service deserves it, but we should be able to decide ourselves.

Booked this as the majority of the reviews were good, unfortunately we appear to have caught one of the ‘off nights’. Our table wasn’t ready - reason - they were awaiting a table of 6 to vacate, however I watched numerous couples of two be seated before us whilst we waited in the bar. When we eventually got our table, we were informed they were out of duck and there was only one steak now available (which my husband wanted) we ordered our drinks and asked for our food order to be taken (he wanted that last steak!) she said she’d be back shortly……. Yep, by the time she came back, the last steak had been taken, so he had the pork and I ordered coq au vin. My husband also ordered the scotch broth starter. His starter arrived, this looked appetising, however far too heavy to be a starter, more of a lunchtime hearty soup, and had no evidence of beef or lamb, so was definitely not a scotch broth. We then waited for our mains…. and we waited……and we waited, eventually after calling over the front of house and asking for an update, our meals arrived, the pork looked amazing, the coq au vin, not so much - the chicken breast had been overcooked and was tough and dry. I sent this back and ordered a lasagna, for £18 I expected this to be an exceptional lasagna, however this was not the case, only the first layer contained any meat sauce, the rest was just very cheesy pasta, a poor example. We didn’t have dessert, and didn’t stay for any further drinks. The front of house staff was very apologetic about our food, and removed my drink from our bill, which was appreciated, but the wait and quality of the food for the price we were paying was not acceptable. If The Black Horse is going to call itself the best in Grassington, I think it needs to do better than the above - that was rubbish.

We visited here while staying in Grassington for a couple of nights. Very happy with our meal here. Warm and friendly service, reasonably priced drinks (an impressive range of wines by the glass) and a varied menu. We both chose dishes from the world section and weren't disappointed. Everything is clearly freshly prepared with no shortcuts. Prices seemed good to us. Lovely atmosphere and we'll definitely go back on our next trip.

Went for dinner and food was lovely. The team were all really friendly and helpful. Great choice on the menu and the burger was particularly good. Good service and good food, what more do you want?

A nice restaurant in one of the pubs in the village. Reasonably priced and attentive service. Food was tasty and enjoyable. My only issue was the pork ramen was very spicy. Unlike other dishes on the menu warning you of the spice level this was not marked, so either everything else is ridiculously hot, so someone forgot to mention it. One the whole a nice meal out with great menu choices.

Very disappointed with my birthday meal in a party of 4. Starter of a few sliced tomatoes, a handful of rocket and a mere sprinkle of what should have been feta but tasted like parmasan all for the pricely sum of £9! My main course of pork escalope was tough and basic, the meal of a Sunday lunch was just ok but the mash was really salty and the chef's recommended pork and noodle dish was tasteless. Overpriced and one to avoid in the future.

Ordered the chicken in lemon sauce with garlic mash and broccoli. Waited nearly a hour for it. The lemon sauce overpowered everything else on the plate it was swimming in it. The garlic mash just dissolved into it. So not the best choice. Waited 30 mins for dessert coconut and pineapple pannecotta very nice and Elton mess for my other half and it really was a mess on a plate just thrown on and the raspberry sauce was like a blood bath just splattered onto the plate. No dessert forks and when I asked why ? the lovely waitress said “nobody uses them anymore” Well that’s news to me. Asked for the bill and that came in minutes. So overall not impressed and won’t return.

Oh my word. We ate on Sunday lovely meal and excellent service, staff were a joy. Went back on Tuesday to find a completely different experience. Staff were rude at best and the young lady serving threw a strop and had a very audible tif in the kitchen.

Pub bar area has good atmosphere, however, the Morral dining experience is pretentious. Served raw chips and dried out lasagne

Visited with my partner on a Sunday afternoon/evening. Great atmosphere in the pub in the afternoon with the live acoustic music. Then dined in the restaurant. I had fish and chips and my girlfriend had the meat pie which was excellent. Would recommend and will be returning

A beautiful dining room which keeps a relaxed atmosphere. Staff were fantastic and just attentive enough. Menu was excellent and food did not disappoint. It was fresh, quality ingredients and tasted fantastic. A lovely evening all round.

Quite simply the best meal we have had in a very long time! The atmosphere was amazing, prices we acceptable, portions were superb. Cannot recommend this enough.

After a long walk we went in and as there were no tables available in the bar, we were seated in the restaurant. Staff were welcoming and friendly and sorted us out with drinks and menus quickly. There’s a wide choice so two of us went for pie of the day, one sausage and one butter chicken curry. All our dishes were nicely presented and cooked. Pies were substantial. Although it was very busy we had efficient service ( which isn’t always the case in restaurants) All in all we had a great experience and wouldn’t hesitate to eat here again. Thanks to all the staff- you were great!

We love coming to The Blackhorse when we stay in a local cottage in Grassington, the service and food are always great, they have lovely live music and quiz nights. This time we ate here a couple of times and one of those time was for Polish night which was very interesting and tasty food we really enjoyed it. We also took part in the big charity quiz and it was brilliant, well put together, supper was lovely and lots of prizes on offer for the drawer. All in all had a fab time again. Can’t wait to return. Shout out to Jenna and Milly and all the girls working on the quiz night :)

Stunning pub in the centre. Live music in the evenings. Great choice of drinks. Staff are lovely. We will come and stay next time and eat here

We have to thank Jenna our waitress for making our lastevening's dinner in Grassington superb! She gave us great advice on specials to order and everything was delicious. The wines she suggested were perfect with our meal. She seemed to be running the show that evening working as hostess and waitress but never seemed too busy to chat with us and was ever so friendly! Beautiful restaurant and Grassington every bit as beautiful as it appears on the show "All Creatures Great and Small." It truly is like stepping back to a more peaceful time!

We’d looked at the menus of a couple of pubs in the village beforehand and decided on what we’d have at the Black Horse on a Sunday evening. It was most disappointing that once we were sat at the table, they told us they’d had a busy day and had sold out of several of the menu items. Of course it included our top two choices. I ended up with a burger, which was okay and came with frozen chips and coleslaw. My OH had chicken kung pao, which was a stir fry served with noodles. The live music from the bar was very loud at first although they did close the doors, which helped. When we’d finished our main course we were asked if we’d like to see the desert menu, and we’re still waiting. We decided to get the bill without pursuing the desert menu. The food was pretty average for the money. £17 for the burger, £17.50 for the stir fry , and £10 for a large glass of Shiraz. Expensive!

Seven of us drove up to Grassington for Sunday lunch at the Black Horse. Six of us had the roast beef which was delicious. The veg was perfectly cooked and the horseradish sauce was fantastic. We had a really nice Shiraz and the dark caramel ale was luscious. Service was efficient, fun and friendly. Wish we lived closer.

We ordered from the early bird menu, Butter chicken Curry, it was thin sauce red in colour nothing like Butter Chicken it was more like Passata! Not at all creamy or with the sweet taste. The waitress said they add lots of different herbs & spices! Won't choose that again.

2 couples 2 dogs, Saturday afternoon for food and drinks. Great service in thw restaurant and food was fab. Really nice atmosphere we will be back!

Been out all day with the family and popped in here for your tea before going back to the caravan. I didn't have a booking but the lady kindly found room for us 😁. The food was great and prices weren't bad either. Staff were lovely. Lovely end to the day. Thank you

Had dinner here and it was lovely. The place is elegant and classy with excellent food! Soup was wonderful, main meal enough for two and the crumble with custard was outstanding. Service was excellent!

Fantastic food and wonderful service Could not have asked for anything more! Will definitely be back soon x

Very good food and the service was brilliant. I had the chllli wife had a lentil curry. You won’t come out of here hungry. Staff where on the ball nothing was to much trouble. We shared a dessert which was very refreshing after the main...

Our favourite restaurant was closed, so we tried this one, on a recommendation. The wait staff were somewhat detached, as if their shifts were almost over. An odd feeling. As we weren’t really hungry we ordered “Nibbles” rather than starters. Both were deep fried and...

I looked up the word Morral to discover it's a horse's feeding nosebag. Delicious menu with a huge variety of dishes on offer. We had the pie of the day. Light pastry with a well-seasoned filling and rich gravy. Unbeatable. The staff were polite, attentive...

We stayed and ate here on our Dales Way walk. We had a beer before checking in. The pub was buzzing with a great atmosphere at 4pm. Our room was great. Clean, cosy, tastefully decorated and well appointed. Food was amazing. We had vegetarian options...

The Black Horse Grassington is undoubtedly Grassingtons finest restaurant. It’s alway very busy which is telling in itself. We chanced it and by fortune got given the captains table. Eaten here several times previously and have never left disappointed. The menu offers a vast and...

The staff fitted our party of six in at very short notice on Sunday Evening after the 1940s Weekend. The ambience of the Restaurant was beautiful . The staff couldn’t have been more attentive. The food was excellent, our party all had different meals and...

The food was great each of the three times we ate there. Twice one of us had the pie of the day, and they were great. I got the traditional Steak and Ale and my wife got Chicken, leeks and mushrooms. I had a burger...

Had four meals which were good meals. The duck was £22, which is the going rate. The pie and lasagne £17, a bit steep. Then sausage and mash at £16.50! How can you charge that? Sausage on a mash potato bed, with gravy and fried...

Great service from start to finish. Staff all very friendly, despite the restaurant being busy. We both had burgers and they were 10/10! Huge portion sizes. Would defo recommend.

The steak & ale pie (pie of the day) was a proper pie, delicious pastry on all sides with huge chunks of melt-in-the-mouth, juicy steak in sumptuous gravy - heavenly! Not only that, but a pint of Tetley’s came half-price! The roasted vegetable lasagne was...

Fish was fantastic. Also the steak pie. Both well cooked and proper portions. Steak pie was loaded with tender tasty beef. We’ll done. We will return.

My wife and I (and pooch as they allow dogs) had two superb meals here this week. Great food consumed included : Lamb Two ways, Duck, Sunday Roast, Pork Loin plus deserts. All delicious. Zero faults. Every dish we saw coming out to other tables...

Booked a table to celebrate our wedding anniversary. I must say that first impressions when we walked in were pleasing. The staff especially the two waitresses on duty tonight (01/97/2023) worked so hard, both professional and polite, nothing being too much trouble despite all the...

Big party booking, absolutely brilliant food and service from Millie and her team, cannot fault it. We were 49 people who had come to Grassington for our annual summer evening trip, to run and have drinks and food. Not an easy booking to manage for...

Had a really great, traditional roast beef Sunday Lunch - the full works, with tender slices of beef, roasties, Yorkshire pud, and excellent al dente veg. Friendly, attentive staff and well appointed dining room Absolutely top notch.

Pub got a great atmosphere but the restaurant is a delightful revelation. The food was great the wine to the staff friendly attentive. The restaurant has a great ambiance. We enjoyed the whole experience

We just wanted a light snack for lunch, decided to share a smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwich, it was a good portion and was was very tasty.

Absolutely lovely food, friendly staff and a really welcoming ambience. Would definitely recommend and definitely return

Had 2 pies - really tasty and lots it gravy - good chips and nice surroundings! Fresh food at a price you’d probably expect from the location

The quality of the food was excellent but each night we were told that a number of dishes were unavailable, even the Fish and Chips at only 19.30pm. Also for each of the three nights the Soupf of the Day was the same. Paid cach...

Started off a little weird....waitress told us they were out of several dishes (including the vegetarian one my wife was about to order). However, a second waitress took our order and the missing items miraculously reappeared. Lentil curry was very good as was the apple...

Great pub always pop in for a pint , on our recent visits we noticed not many people eating on quite a few occasions , then you look at the menu , and find they are more expensive than most city centre restaurants, £17 for...

Food was good. Slight changes, rather than a slab of mac and cheese deep fried... just make some home made mac and cheese and put it on. Fish and chips were great, peas were on the slight hard side and there was a few other...

Wonderful overnight stay - our room (standard kingsize) was tastefully decorated & spotlessly clean. Comfy bed & spacious bathroom. Evening meal & breakfast really lovely too & extremely efficient, helpful & friendly staff ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lovely homely bar area. Lovely open fire which we needed as weather was awful. Staff helpful and friendly Bar area clean and welcoming

Lovely meal Lovely atmosphere Friendly staff A village we had not previously visited, we will return when the weather improves

perfect location for a night in Grassington. Lovely for walks in the dales and lots of little shops pubs and restaurants to chose from. Staff were very welcoming and the food served at the restaurant @black horse was really good. Plenty of choice for breakfast...

We know Grassington very well and visit all of the restaurants/pubs often. But wow we had certainly caught this member of staff on a bad day. To say she was rude to customers is an understatement. Clearly didn't want to be there and we definitely...

I went for an evening meal. The staff was friendly, attentive to your requests. The food was served in a decent time. It seems lots of locals like coming there for a treat. I had the wild mushroom and basil risotto, and it was visually...

Booked online which was really simple and easy to use. On arrival we were met by the lovely staff who welcomed us and showed us to our table. The restaurant is very spacious and beautifully decorated. The service from the young ladies was faultless. Extremely...

The food was very good with a good choice of menu. The staff were very friendly and did a great job. It was very busy for a Wednesday night so suggest you book ahead

A very comfortable stay for us and our labrador. The room was comfy and very clean with some nice touches of robes, slippers and toiletries. A little noisy on the first night (Saturday) with guests singing and going to their rooms but otherwise very quiet....

While staying at the hotel, we twice had dinner here and a pub lunch. The food was excellent, and the service was super friendly and efficient For our second dinner, I had asked for a surprise dessert as one of our party (6) was celebrating...

We tried a few of the pubs - this was the best!! Best interior, best service, and most delicious food. Also best value. Highly recommend.

Been out hiking and stopped for burger and chips with drinks. Spike the Barman was very pleasant and our meals were really tasty and nicely presented. Onion rings good too - very fresh and light. A welcome pit stop.

We were staying at the Devonshire Hotel and as a change booked here for dinner. I’d used the online tool and when asked for special requirements requested a window seat overlooking Grassington’s famous village square. When we arrived the reception waiter apologised and politely pointed...

We went to The Black Horse for my birthday as it was highly recommended but were unfortunately very disappointed. The staff were friendly when greeting us and took us to our table. We ordered a bottle of wine which was brought to the table with...

Fab family lunch here today. 6 of us and our 2yr old quickly accommodated on a busy Sunday. Sunday lunches and sandwiches among our order all of which were great and arrived quickly. 2 gluten free. Staff extremely courteous and polite and the place was...

First impressions of the restaurant were good nice setting and good ambience for a Saturday night meal. Food however let it down dishes were very average. Menu said pork loin so was expecting medallions or slices of pork, what came was a boneless pork chop...

Nice restaurant area with friendly staff and good service but the food was disappointing. Lasagne ok, but not great, the pie was nice but the chips were soggy and undercooked. An average experience that filled the stomach after a 5 hr drive but won’t be...

Walked down for a drink in the bar then some food in the restaurant. Absolutely lovely, good food, nice drinks and excellent service. Recommend.

I had the beef Sunday roast and my partner had duck. For me it was one of the best Sunday roasts I’ve had and she kept eating until she was full to the brim (that’s a good sign). The service was exceptional too. We’ll definitely...

On a trip round the Dales we stopped in Grassington for an early dinner. We chose the Black Horse as the menu was varied and the food had good reviews. On the plus side the bar area was pleasant, the staff friendly and efficient and...

Stayed here overnight whilst on the way north. Very comfortable well apportioned room. Also ate here, good choices available on the menu. I chose baked plaice with sauce verge. My partner had an oriental salad washed down with a good sauvignon blanc. Good selection of...

The food here was amazing, we ate here on the very busy Jubilee weekend. It was full but the service was so efficient. Great pub in a great village.

On our last day in Grassington we went to the Morral for an early evening meal. We sat outside having a drink before going inside. Pat had pork and I had the vegetable lasagne. Absolutely superb as was the service. A lovely end to our...

Having been to many places for an evening meal during our stay in the dales, this was by far my favourite. Although the many local pubs are good for basic pub grub, we really fancied going somewhere that felt a bit fancier and special in...

Ate here whilst staying in Grassington for the night. Booked online which was easy, had a beer on arrival then seated in the restaurant for our meal. Friendly welcome and all the staff were welcoming. I had garlic mushrooms to start which were amazing and...

Stayed for 2 nights and ate at the restaurant both nights, out of choice! The food was lovely and staff very accommodating throughly enjoyed our stay! High portion sizes.

I had two meals at The Black Horse, while staying here (I thought I'd do the correct thing and leave separate reviews for the food and hotel!!) and both meals were top class. As I've said, plenty of choice on the menu. I was torn...

We liked the look of this place and the menu, so we stopped in for sandwiches. The bread was so thick and dry the sandwiches were hard to eat--I had to remove the top piece and use knife and fork. The chips that came with...

Had a drink in the cosy bar. Then a meal in the restaurant. Great food and excellent service. A great occasion. Thanks.

Food was so good and hot and fresh thank you for your hospitality and we’ll definitely come back soon thank you soo much..

We had a meal here and would definitely return. Love place and nice food, though to garlic bread is disappointing as more like toast. Welcoming atmosphere and staff. Best Butter Chicken I have had.

The full English breakfast is perfect. Plenty of it and quickly served, by efficient staff. Pre-orderding (for guests) works perfectly.

Good lunch and warm welcome after a wet and windy walk along the river. Pie and chips and crumble for pudding were both really good.

Wonderful pub! Four of us locals went to spend our quiz winnings on a two course meal and drinks. As we knew it would be, all the food was delicious and beautifully presented. There was plenty of choice of starters, mains and puddings. The atmosphere...

I had read recent reviews, so was disappointed to find a number of things that were just not good enough about this restaurant. The service was brisk and friendly, but our waitress failed to inform us of a few dishes already sold out, until we...

Husband had lassagne which was nice and tasty skin on chips. I had battered haddock (no skin, yay!) with twice cooked chips, however it was a shame because the underside batter was soggy, very greasy and because it was on top of the chips they...

Had a lovely Sunday lunch here today ! Everything was spot on ! The food was awesome ! A few pubs to choose from but made the right choice booking here will defo come back to eat here when I’m in grassington!

Lovely pub in the centre of the village. We visited on a really cold afternoon and the fire was burning and it was lovely and warm. Had a nice lunch - wanted custard with our puddings and although this wasn't on the menu it wasn't...

We booked a table recently hoping to enjoy a nice evening meal. The food was badly cooked, the service was lack lustre, and the coffee machine was broken. But worst of all, when I mentioned my food wasn’t very good during the meal, they were...

On a recent visit to Grassington we went to the Black Horse for lunch. We are inside and felt Covid safe. Food and service excellent. Would really recommend.

I went there for an evening meal as I was staying at the hotel as a guest. I chose the Carbonara pizza. It was awesome. The plate was massive and the pizza was accompanied by a salad and skinny fries. I could not finish the...

We had a lovely lunch here in October in our first visit to Grassington. I would recommend the cheese and onion pie which beautiful and made my day. The lady on the bar was great with us and we saw her making the long journey...

Very comfortable more restaurant than a pub average price Food hot and good quality service very good.

We always eat at least once at the Black Horse when in Grassington this year they have excelled themselves. Clearly lockdown was put to good use with redecoration of the restaurant, bright and contemporary but not loosing any of the cosy feel. We are here...

Looking forward to having a nice stark to celebrate my birthday, ordered a bottle of red wine to go with steak to be later told that they haven't got any. Very poor to not be informed on arrival at the restaurant. Burger and red wine.

We had a pleasant meal, two courses. Tom was our waiter and he was wonderful. Very friendly and professional. Nice decor and atmosphere, had a drink in the bar after our meal and it all was very chilled.

What a beautiful pub and restaurant! There is a cosy bar area where you can sit and relax in traditional pub having a refreshing drink after a day exploring. The restaurant is modern and beautifully set out and the food is excellent. The staff are...

We visited here for a light lunch after a walk. Pub was welcoming, clean, warm decor. Staff were friendly and efficient. Food was fresh and reasonable priced. Just what we needed. Would visit again.

We ate here whilst staying in Grassington the food was great and the staff were warm and friendly and very attentive.We couldnt fault a thing the service was excellent and the menu had a great choice.We would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Lovely food served in comfortable surroundings. Pleasant and efficient staff, friendly service, not too obtrusive

We ate here on a Friday night (having booked) as were staying in Grassington. Friendly staff, good selection of beers/drinks. Food was well priced, tasted fresh and was really lovely. Would eat here again.

Dined here 3 times during our stay in Grassington - wonderful food, great service, friendly staff and dog friendly 5*
