The Black Horse Inn in East Cambridgeshire

Had a wonderful stay. And a wonderful overnight stay. Real English pub with good food and very good service.

First time and for Sunday lunch. Not a bad pub, food and service good. I know they do accommodation so seeing that may have improved the score.

The carpark is too small for the amount of vehicles likely to use it. The bar menu is very basic, the shower cubicle sprayed from the side of the shower unit very heavily in my face and there is no working TV, Internet, phone signal even though they state they have all amenities. Or did they mean in the next village along... Very poor in my opinion.

Popped in for lunch whilst out on the motorbike. Both myself and my wife had a chicken burger with fries and chips. Tasted amazing and great value for money. Everything was fresh too. Highly recommend The Black Horse at Swaffham Bulbeck.

Lovely setting, drinks are reasonably priced and the service was fantastic, very friendly and welcoming! Highly recommend a visit. Lovely family feel to it too. Will definitely be back and next time I will be having food too as it looks really good!

Had Sunday lunch today best bit was cauliflower cheese. 2 very small over cooked slices of Pork. Roast potatoes had been left to keep warm. Skins so hardcould hardly cut them when you did potato inside had dried and was almost gone. Gravy was warm. Wouldn't recommend and will not go back. Worst Sunday lunch in pub We have ever had. No choice other than pork or beef no veggie option offered

Can't add more details as only stopped for a beer. The barmaid was friendly.

Bad beer, bad wine, atmosphere zero. Oh dear.

Excellent choice of ales that are constantly changing and dog friendly. Great bunch of people.

Great value for money, wonderful hospitality and fabulous breakfast. Definitely recommend!

Absolutely dreadful, would not recommend if you are looking for a place to stay, stayed a total of 3 nights already paid for breakfast and didn't get it 2 of the 3 days. Breakfast was suppose to be at 8.30 which is already late for a B&B especially for workers staying away, even though in the leaflet in your room it says 7am. The second day one of the workers arrived and told us the landlady won't be there till gone 9am so me and my work colleague had told just head to work. And again on the 3rd morning no where to be seen by 8.35 so had to leave because would be gone 9am by the time we get food. Their excuse was traffic but that's absurd you should leave earlier then to get there for 8.15 so food can start at 8.30. Also no evening food with an array of 'reasons' about why. First day they Said they don't do food on Mondays which is fair, 2nd day apparently the chef had an ear infection so again no food and the 3rd night he then got covid apparently I'd like to say we were going to stay the week before this but didn't as they said no food all week because chef was 'ill'. Thirdly don't get your hopes up for WiFi, although there is WiFi In the pub it does not reach your room so be prepared to use a lot of data. Overall a very bad time here will not be returning and would recommend to anyone who doesn't literally want a bed for the night.

Went to the Black Horse for a dinner yesterday. I had an excellent pint of Ghost Ship followed by steak and ale pie, chips, veg and gravy, which was just the ticket. Nothing fancy, just good, hearty home cooking. A great village pub.

Staying away with work and i could not have asked for a better place to stay. Being a single female I didn't want to stay in central Cambridge, having to eat by myself. Alice and Martin made me feel like part of the family and welcomed me warmly. They have not long taken over the pub but have found their feet very quickly. The pub was warm and inviting with a handful of village locals. Food was homely and filled the spot on a dark, wet evening. I will be back.

We stayed at The black horse at the weekend and on arrival was greeted by a young lady by the name of Alice who had apparently only taken over a few days before.We were shown to our room which seemed a little dated but adequate.After a while we ventured into the pub where we were served by Alice’s dad Martin who welcomed us in with a smile.The bar seemed busy with a good atmosphere, locals all appeared very friendly and chatty. We had a great meal of fish and chips, the batter was golden and crispy, delightful. We stayed in the pub all night, played darts followed by a game of cards .Best night out in a pub for ages, very friendly with great hosts . My partner and I never stopped laughing all night. Already looking forward to our next visit.

What a comedy of errors i don't know where to start. The only nice thing i have to say, and, in their defence, they are new tenants. When i arrived i was given a room that the barman couldn't find a key for, so after i had showered they changed me to another room. Day two no sign of the land lady so no breakfast, a local lady did make me breakfast which was great and very kind of her to bring it over to me. When i returned from work the pub closed and other guests were turning up who decided to look elsewhere (very sensible). No evening meal. Day three i turned up for breakfast at the pre-determined time pub locked up and guess what no breakfast. When i returned that evening i waited for ages for an evening meal, guess what nothing. The room was never cleaned coffee and milk not replenished; the list goes on. If you're on a strict no food diet and you're not bothered about cleanliness a great place to stay otherwise avoid like the plague.

We popped into the Black horse for a lunchtime drink after visiting the Abbey and we were greeted with the warmest welcome from new managers who had recently taken over ( just a few days apparently) the new people weee in the middle of giving the pub a spring clean (autumn I know) but this never stopped them from giving us their undivided attention. Nothing was too much trouble and I’m sure they will be great assets to the village. Lovely to meet you Alice and Martin and we wish you all the success for the future.

Very warm welcome, lovely room, excellent breakfast and evening meals. Would definitely stay here again

After arriving and no one was in the bar, we actually waited 10 minutes before anyone came to serve us. Not a good start. Food finally ordered, it seemed to take ages to arrive. Sorry but I will not be returning here. No one seemed to know how to run this business.

We were staying locally for the races and ate here twice. The landlord was very welcoming and allowed a taster of one of the beers to ensure it suited. The menu is good pub food and reasonably priced.. Our meals came in good time, with well cooked generous portions. The batter on the fish was light and not at all greasy. Desserts were very tasty.

Very friendly owners who were very helpful to myself and partner. Nice clean room, very comfy. Good breakfast and all for resonable price Recomend for an easy stop over if visiting the area of Cambridge or Newmarket Many thanks for our stay

After a visit to Anglesey Abbey we needed something to eat but the restaurant there was packed so four of us decided to look for somewhere nearby to eat instead. We were lucky to find the Black Horse just a few minutes' drive away. Two of us chose to eat from the two courses for £10 menu which we found to be enjoyable and very good value. One of the group has very specific needs and the landlord went out of his way to provide exactly what she requested although it was not on the menu - and within the same price. The fourth in the party chose lamb shanks from the main menu and was well pleased with his meal. We would definitely eat there again if we were in the area.

This pub has had an unfortunate history of late. None of the past publicans has been able to create an atmosphere and the food has been poor or dreadful. The new husband and wife team present with a friendly optimism that may change things. A helpful and interested couple who bring years of experience of running pubs. The food is reasonable 'pub grub' and the Sunday lunches are value for money. i have from time to time dropped into this pub on my travels and I notice that the atmosphere has lifted- there is laughter to be heard rather than the awkward silence that there used to be. I see darts are back, a sign of community involvement ( always a good sign in a village pub) There is accommodation at the pub but this has always been basic- an improvement would be welcome. I certainly will be calling in when I can and will follow the potential improvement of this place, Nothing much can be done about the internal layout but there are definite signs of an improvement in the atmaosphere.

Lovely relaxed phone information and booking process. Great welcome, service, choice of beer and food. Tasty fish pie and veg, and approx 6 oz cheddar cheese with the appetizing ploughmans platter. Fruit crumble was Devine. Dog and visitor friendly pub, will go again.

We enjoyed our meals at lunchtime but service was very slow (even though it didn't seem busy) and no acknowledgment made of it. I'd recommend phoning ahead if you are in a hurry. Lovely chips, pleasant inside.

Warmly welcomed by very friendly staff. Good food and nice range of beers. Food came promptly. Own car park and the Church is a short walk away.

Room was cold on arrival but warmed up quite quickly once the heating came on. Breakfast was basic but good for the price and served with a friendly smile. We didn't have dinner as we were being picked up at 6.45 and they don't start serving till 6pm. We felt that would be too rushed so ate elsewhere at lunchtime instead.

A lovely country pub really good atmosphere and couldn’t have been made more welcome by the landlord and his family.Extremely good tasty lunch and comfortable room in the purpose built block at the back of the pub. Nice and quiet because far enough away from the road. Would certainly visit again and highly recommend.

Fantastic ace to stay. Was very well looked after and the owners,staff and locals couldn't do enough for me. Arrived late late on Monday night after a very long day. The landlord made me a bacon sandwich to go with my pint. Another night he sacrificed his own dinner for me (top pie, mash and liquor I ever had). Rooms comfy good food and a good pint. I cant recommend enough and cant wait to stay again.

Quiet rural location, Great place to stay and eat for Newmarket Races, great rooms, good food, very friendly staff.

stopped here on the way home from racing last week very good choice on menu staff efficient , food very good, service excellent , prices very competitive

Lovely home cooked Sunday roast. Great friendly local pub. Landlord, landlady and all the staff were great. 5 stars highly recommend 😁

Just had a lovely Sunday roast, fresh vegetables and home made Yorkies! Followed by dessert, very friendly landlord and landlady and all their staff, well worth a visit

Staff very pleasant and helpful, Food was excellent, would reccommend it to anyone wishing to stop off there.

We went here for my partners birthday with his family, we always drive past on the way home from work. It looks nice from the outside and looked like a good environment. The service was really good and everyone was very friendly. I had the vegetable lasagne for dinner and it was the best I’ve had in a long time. Will definitely be returning.

The Black Horse is a stereotypical English country pub on the village green and it's not a bad one. The service is pleasant enough and there's a menu with lots of honest pub fare. My tuna was a tad overdone but the dish was rescued by a super complement of fresh salad and braised veg. It's not fine dining or gastro fare but a perfectly good place at lunchtime on a summer's day or as a part of an evening activity on the green.

Called in by chance for Sunday lunch only because we were passing by and it was time to eat, nice pint of Directors, friendly welcome 1 x roast beef - nice and tender, 1 x roast pork tasty lunch and good value too thank you.

We visited today for Sunday lunch and was very impressed. We all had starters followed by 2 of us having the Sunday roast. The beef melted in your mouth the roast potatoes were yummy. The other 2 had the smoked haddock and spring onion fish cakes which they raved about accompanied with lovely chips and salad. Would definitely recommend a visit cannot fault it very reasonable priced.

So we headed to the pub for a quick lunch, wish I'd stayed at home and eaten the contents of my dust bin. Very poor food, sausage sandwich which had half a sausage cut up with a raw onion over the top. Nice..... My wife ordered chips with her sandwich, five chips were delivered to the table. Just a very poor offering for the money, landlord it's time to change career the pub game has moved on from 1982. Won't be back...Cheers....

Visited for a Sunday lunch. Nice hot plate, makes a lot of difference! Chicken breast lovely. Beef nice but bit thin, didn't seem it was cut off a nice roast joint. Can't pick your veg as it's all served on the plate but well cooked and good variety. Great roasties and yorkshire pud. Oh and plenty of gravy, always a winner. Really enjoyed it. Not much choice of starters, didn't fancy what was on offer but enjoyed a nice pudding.

Deciding to have a Sunday pub lunch we decided to visit the black horse inn, all I can say is what an absolute disappointment! The ‘american’ burger! The burger itself around 7cm in diameter! And 1cm thick! So this meal was mostly a defrosted bun!

I had booked a table but need not have bothered as the restaurant was empty when we arrived at 1 p.m. Barmaid did not give us a warm welcome preferring to mingle with the regulars in the other bar. When we were served she said that as there was no reservation on a table we might as well sit where we liked. We had to ask if there was a specials board. The food was excellent when it arrived although served on cold plates. The food was not overly expense but the dining area was uncomfortable with hard wooden chairs and seemed dark. Probably would not rush to go back.

Very good, friendly staff, nice atmosphere, the beer was well kept. Good Pub food. Dog friendly and local drinkers who were happy to chat.

Worst Sunday lunch ever. We were greeted by pleasant bar lady and immediately sat to table. Very limited lunch menu on chalk board. We ordered pork and chicken. Dinner arrived very quickly my 3 pieces of approximately 2.5cm of pork 4 very small roast potatoes and cold vegetables. My husband chicken was more or less the same he however had 5 roast potatoes again stone cold vegetables. We pointed this out to our server who just stared at us and then went to kitchen. She came back and said she would heat our dinner up in microwave I requested fresh hot veg however that would then mean they would be short of veg for remaining diners. Dinner taken away heated and was to a fair standard albeit Yorkshire’s now shrivelled by microwave. Several people turned away as there would not be enough roast dinners. It became clear why when other diners arrived friends of owner their plates arrived full and plentiful hello owner all diners need to be treated equally. Will not ever return to this place. Owners need to train in customer service and satisfaction.

Sunday roast was decent can't really fault it staff are ok my previous visit had been about a year or so so all seem s to have changed

Under new management I believe, and what a difference it has made. 6 of us came for Sunday lunch. We had Beef, Chicken and Pork, plenty of gravy, Yorkshire, veg and home cooked roast potatoes!! Hallelujah for nice roast potatoes, you don't get them in many places. The barmaid especially and waitresses were friendly and welcoming. We were the only ones eating lunch. I suspect everyone has been put off by the previous management when the food was quite poor. I hope people here about the improvement as it deserves to be full. Lunch was £9.95 each and starters were about £5. There is a very limited menu on a Sunday if you are not a roast fan.

New owners took over in March and I visit form time to time. Generally the food is good, and fresh though the one time I ordered the beef lasagne it was obviously re-heated and a 2" square piece was barely even a kids portion. left me hungry.

All four of us had the beef, plenty of it and loads veg and gravey. Start where friendly And helpful. Good range of beer :-D

It looked like a great country pub to have a Sunday lunch to break out day at nearby Anglesey Abbey, and it wasn't busy either for a mid-winter Sunday at 2pm. I had an interesting sounding Japanese lager (but brewed and bottled in Bedford as it turned out!) and we ordered the Sunday roast. It took a bit of time to arrive and was pretty average with a low light of a completely inedible slice of beef. Reading other reviews, it seems I'm not alone so I couldn't recommend it. Staff weren't interested in us telling them that either so we legged it as soon as we'd finished. Seemed a nice pub, let down by the roast.

We enjoyed a fabulous dinner in this friendly village pub on a recent Friday night. Food, drink, service & ambience were all perfect. Highly recommended.

Booked for family evening meal but as there was only one barman on duty who was busy we stood around a bit until eventually someone else took us to our table. Decor not fantastic and menu rather limited because "we only put on what we have in stock" which to me sounds a bit haphazard & amateurish if your trying to go back for the meal you enjoyed last time. Food service ok & food of a good quality when it arrived. Don't live locally but wouldn't rush back even if I did.

Well worth a visit if you're in the area. Local attractions include Angelsey Abbey and of course Cambridge itself.

A delicious lunchtime out with the family, food lovely and staff very attentive, just the lack of lager that ruined it for me.

Tuvimos un tour de cata de vinos en los viñedos cerca de Chilford Hall como un regalo de Navidad y decidimos quedarnos a pasar la noche la noche antes para hacer un mini vacaciones. El Black Horse Inn era encantador. El bar está muy bien cuidado y el personal muy amable.

A good village pub with a warm welcome and comfortable rooms. A good choice of proper pub grub, beers & great staff.

Great food can recomend the chickpea burger it was lovely. staff were very helpful and service was quick. rooms would benefit from sfter pillows but aprt from that they were clean and had what you needed for a stay. We would highly recomend a stay...

Comes on a platter - two meats on the platter with roast potato, parsnips, huge Yorkshires, big bowl of veg plus cauliflower cheese - lovely meal and plenty of it. Variety of desserts, our group had 5 different desserts and all loved them with clean plates at the end

Almorcé con un amigo ayer y muy impresionado por el caballo negro. Un buen menú de bar y cerveza bien cuidado - delicioso! Consulte las ofertas especiales de - estuvimos en lunes y hamburguesas eran de 2 por 1. Lo hamburguesas estaban - bien preparada, bien preparada y decorada con presentado - no necesitarás otra comida ese día. Un excelente hallazgo que debe regresar y averiguar qué ofertas en otros días.

My wife and I went to this pub/restaurant and found the food to be very poor. We ordered Chilli and Rice and Pie and Mash.The Chilli and Rice came in a pool of water. It looked like they used boil in the bag rice and hadn't even drained it afterwards. We asked if they could drain away the water. We were asked if we wanted another meal but we declined as we were in a hurry. The rice was tasteless and we felt it was a complete waste of money. The Pie was a touch better but the meat inside the pie was burnt.The barman who took the chilli away did not appear to be in the least concerned. However when the waitress returned it she was at least more sorry. This meal was listed on the menu as a Pub Classic!!!We ordered fruit crumble for dessert but would only describe it as mediocre.Suggest you try somewhere else to eat!

I used to stay at this pub on a regular basis over 10 years ago and it was the first choice to try when visiting the area again, thankfully I wasn't disappointed. My wife and I and another married couple stayed in the converted stables with their natty new names, Kings and Magdalene respectively. The welcome was courteous and efficient, the room was fine, clean and tidy and plenty big enough with a spacious comfy bed. The shower was a bit tight to get into but that's as much my bulk as well as the narrow entry but something to be mindful of.We used this as a base for our 2 day visit to the area and would highly recommend it as such or for shorter or longer stays. The pub itself is a friendly place and has a nice atmosphere.Breakfasts were nicely cooked and tea, coffee and toast was plentiful if wanted, the evening meals were superb, well cooked and presented.We would happily use the Black Horse again if in the area.

Visited pub today for the first time with two friends,had a fantastic meal and deserts served by Anna who was really switched on,very quick service for drinks and food,plenty of choice for my wife who is a vegetarian,will Be back in the near future

A friendly village local - menu reflective of the usual type of fare - burgers, pies, fish & Chips etc. I chose the latter which was obviously freshly cooked and tasty. An excellent selection of cask ales complimented the food.

Excellent food, great service, large selection of drinks. Better is than the owners do lots of social things for the village that create a great atmosphere.

The Black Horse Inn in Swaffham Bulbeck is a must. We were here for a photo shoot and can't recommend enough. Bright happy pub and restaurant with lovely views onto the village green. Ideal accommodation for exploring Cambridgeshire. James the owner is a top host. 10 out of 10!

Nice village good pub food nice staff a good pub and location also nice clean and tidy. Will come again.

We visited the Black Horse Inn with young children for a traditional Sunday lunch.There are lots of good points about the pub, great pub ambience, super friendly and helpful staff, and a good range of draft beers on tap.Most of our party had the roast Sunday lunch, which though mid priced, was actually plain average in quality. The meat (beef & turkey slices) and side dishes were served on platters so we could help ourselves; that would have been fine had the quality been better. The beef was chewy and not tasty, and the turkey limp and insipid. Vegetables not great either, soft soggy roast potatoes and over cooked vegetables. Overall the main course was OK, but not at all memorable. I suspect we may have done better by ordering other dishes from the menu, rather than the traditional roast.Desserts were good.The restaurant is very child friendly and good at catering for children, most everything was available in 'child size' at sensible prices.Overall value was average, we have had far better roast dinners at other pub/restaurants for the same price (£9.95). There were no problems with the desserts which were priced at £5.95.

Thank you so much for a very warm welcome, very clean room, comfy bed and a very good breakfast. It is not often you get all three and we will definately recommend and will book again for next year.Thank you again

What more could you want from an English pub than a fine plate of Newmarket sausages, mash and gravy all washed down with a pint of a local golden ale. Yum!

Looks good from outside but old fashioned pub food which has lost its way. Not at all adventurous and little atmosphere at lunchtime. Quirky place.

Our thanks to the Black Horse for serving us the perfect lunch, we dined in the conservatory and were warmly greeted by a young smart looking waiter who gave us menus and took drink orders. The Diirectors And Proper Job beers went down nicely following a bike ride through many charming villages, it was handy that the black horse had bicycle stands. We hope to visit again soon.

If you want a decent meal, at good prices, this is the place to come. Sunday roast looked fabulous and is certainly a meal that is for sharing- 1 platter, 2 plates.Food was excellently presented, on hot plates and the taste was perfect. Came here with relatives and it didn't disappoint- drinks were reasonably priced. Service was very very good and prompt. Atmosphere was relaxed and you could easily spend longer here than you realise because the staff don't push you out the door the moment you have finished.Will be back !

Called in for lunch having been touring the area. Very impressed with the friendly, attentive service and the fact that our dogs were allowed in the bar area. Food was good quality and reasonably priced. Would certainly visit again.

We enjoyed the warm welcome, and the friendly and helpful service we received. Food (a Sunday roast) was homely, fresh and served on hot plates (yeah). How I hate getting tepid food but not on this occasion! Décor on plain side but clean and airy. Highly recommend on strength of today's ad hoc visit.

Found this pub to be a little expensive food wise, whilst it was very good it did seem to be pricey at £60 for 3 one course meals and 3 drinks (2 non alcohol)Service was good

Visited for Sunday lunch with friends. We found the service to be excellent with friendly and attentive staff. Three of us ordered the roast meat platter. The alarm bells should have rung when we saw just how big the three Yorkshire puddings were (especially as the meats were pork and lamb neither of which is traditionally accompanied by Yorkshire pudding). The meat was very tasty but the amount of meat was appallingly little for three people - probably just enough for two. As this is clearly what the pub thinks is adequate (there were, after all, three oversize Yorkshires so there was no confusion about the number of people to be fed) there was little point in complaining at the time. One of the party had the meat pie and that was fine in terms of quality and quantity.So eating there could be a satisfying experience although having been left feeling short changed I'm not sure that I would bother!

We eat at least once a week at the Black Horse, mainly Sundays for the roasts. We meet friends here, enjoy a drink and usually end up eating.

Nice village pub in a lovely area. Stopped in for Lunch easy parking right by the side of the pub. found the food to be very good, had the smoked ham and it was indeed smokey with a lovely taste and nice to have proper hot chips too Like the decor there's a nice bit of informative writing about the Brewer Charles Wells written on the wall.Looking forward to visiting again.

We stopped here on our cycle back to Wicken Fen from Anglesey Abbey. The menu had a good selection, there was a few things for kids but no specific kids menu. The friendly service was brilliant and the food was very tasty. Well recommended, would definitely go back when we are next at Anglesey Abbey (Which is fairly often)

This used to be a good local Pub/Restaurant, but since new landlord things are decidedly less good. Service quite good if you get the right waitress. Main course mediocre, but the dessert was exceeding poor. Eaton Mess with tinned strawberries and soggy cream - has to be the worst Eaton Mess I've ever had. New decor is showing signs of wear only after a few months, was hoping for so much more after the new landlord redecorated. Hopefully things will improve.

We had a lovely midweek meal in the Black Horse, It was a lovely meal, with very attentive staff, great choice of food, we have tried several different meals. It has to be said, the Beef Lasagne is possibly the best I have ever had anywhere! - The Black Horse have special dishes most nights of the week, Wednesday is Pie and a pint night, be sure to try the sausage and onion pie - Thanks guys

Very comfortable accommodation, excellent food and very friendly staff make the Black Horse Inn the perfect place to stay if you are visiting the Cambridge or Newmarket area

We stopped on the off chance on the way home from London.Thank goodness we did .The food was wonderful.The people lovely and it was great value for money.

We was recommended this pub by a friend to try the Sunday roast and they did not dissapoint. All the staff were very pleasent and accomdating even with 2 of our party joining us over half an hour late.Will return in the very near future.

We dined at your Inn for the first time on Saturday evening. We found the staff very pleasant & polite. We found the décor pleasant & the cleanliness very good.My only criticism would be that I ordered the pie & mash which was very nice but it could really do with a compliment of perhaps carrots & peas or some kind of vegetable for the price of £11.95.Perhaps you could consider this for the future.We hope to revisit sometime. (Your business card sends an email to the wrong addressRegardsJG.

Once again The Black Horse Inn has impressed upon me the utter excellence of their burgers- and buy one get one free on Mon nights! I really won't be going anywhere else in Cambridgeshire for burgers! Many thanks :)

We stayed here while doing some work in Cambridge. We couldn't have asked for more.Lovely hotel rooms: clean and warm. Shower nice and powerful and hot!Pub is a quintessential British pub serving proper pub food! Excellent selection of drinks and every member of staff we met was extremely friendly, polite and helpful.We will definitely be back!

Oh Pauline how sad. We had a lovely lunch there recently and our experience was totally different. Did you get out of bed on the wrong side that day.

Thought we would give this place another chance, sadly it definitely is not up to usual standard. Bar was empty of customers, We arrived at 1.30. to an empty pub that alone should have prepared us for what followed.. Quality of food was poor quality pub fare. Roast potatoes of which we had 2 each were burned completely gravy cold veg overcooked slush oh and cauliflower cheese with ? milk instead of cheese. I only wish people would rate this truthfully as most people who read reviews prefer an accurate account of venues. Whilst reading reviews I observed how new owner responds only to positive reviews and has not addressed any of the poor reviews, that alone tells us customers more than enough about his business ethos!

veggie burger not on the menu at the time but no problem at all for the kitchen and it was delicious!

We had a Sunday Roast at the Black Bull on Sunday with our 2 grandsons and it was wonderful and really love the idea of putting the meat, potatoes, Yorkshire puds on a big serving plate in the centre of the table to help yourself with the vegetable separate the kids love this and found they eat a lot more. The service was excellent and the Landlord checked a few times we were all OK even though he was busy behind the bar. The pub has had a recent makeover and looks a lot more inviting. Shall Defiantly be going back to the Black Bull and even be making a Christmas Booking I hope soon. Carol, Rob, Tyler and Trey

10 of us for lunch on bank holiday Monday at short notice wasn't a problem for the black bull inn.Food was excellent, portion sizes just right for us. 3 children devoured the burgers so they must be good. I had the hunters chicken, nice portion with plenty of bacon and barbecue sauce. followed by Eton mess which was lovely.Service was quick and efficient with friendly staff.Everyone in the party was impressed. I would highly recommend a visit.We will be going back again soon.

Popped into The Black Horse Inn for Lunch, we choose the Burger with a chilli topping, first class burger, the best I have tasted in along time! all home made. Chips were good tooWe will go back very soon.

Enjoyed a delicious meal here last week- such good burgers- I'll be choosing here over Byron's or GBK in future, definitely worth the drive out of Cambridge. Very attentive service and great quality. Oh my goodness the brownie! Absolute must. Thank you very much!!

Whatever happened to the great food this place used to serve?Found this Pub (on back road due to traffic jams on A11) 2 years ago on way to Cambridge with friends from abroad, and stopped for lunch, what fantastic home made beef burgers they served! All declared them to be the best burgers ever tasted, anywhere in the world (including a visit to US). The 'Shroom' was amazing!We have since visited several times (even though it's a 70-mile round trip), just for the great burgers, and went again this week, only to find the Pub has changed hands since our last visit. Different menu but we were told whilst meat suppliers had been changed, that it was still same chef, so having made the trip, we tried the 'handmade' beef burgers on the new menu.Very disappointing compared to the previous offerings, the standard of food served this time, whilst satisfactory, was just ordinary pub fare, nice fries but the burgers had very little flavour, were a bit greasy and not a patch on the previous quality. As it's the same Chef, she can't at fault, so the lower quality of food served can only be due to choice of new produce suppliers.Would recommend the previous food/meat suppliers are reinstated, as we will not be visiting again with things as they are now, we only travelled so far for the wonderful quality of the formerly served home-made beef burgers. The Chef must be equally disappointed having to work with and serve a much lesser quality of food.Will keep an eye on website to see if menu changes again, otherwise, what a shame.

We regularly meet with friends for Sunday lunch and have always had excellent food at the Black Horse however that all changed on 01/02/15. Inn had recently changed hands and quality has gone. We were informed Chef had not changed so with open minds we paid our monthly visit. We were really disappointed no Roast Potatoes with roast dinner portion sizes vastly reduce and veg was peas carrots and little bit of broccoli and cauliflower{ yes little bit1}Whilst we cannot fault the quality of the meat the portions were very small. Sadly with such poor quality we have decided to look for somewhere where standard is better than average.

Went for Sunday lunch, 3 adults, 2 children.There was plenty of food, and it was very tasty.The day we went, I think they'd forgotten they'd left the Yorkshires in the oven as they were a bit in the burnt side, so my children wouldn't eat them, even though that's usually their favourite bit :)I didn't complain though, so it's not to say they wouldn't have replaced them. They were very attentive, so they probably would have.The service was also pretty quick, and as I said, the food was flavoursome, including the gravy. But mixed reviews on the deserts.The Milkshake was in fact one of those Shmoo things where they just add powder to milk and froth it up. I wish it was listed as such as they are not my idea of a milkshake. The winter berry 'Eton Mess' wasn't that great. It was basically black berries, squirty cream and of course some bits of meringue.The sticky toffee pud however was delish, even though it was only offered with ice cream. I would definitely go again. It was over all very good.

Random selection after overhearing a guy in the local gym - well worth the drive out of Cambridge. Remarkably good beef burger patty, imaginative toppings and great beers. Recommended for quality standard pub grub.

Eight cold and very hungry people ate a very satisfying meal here and very good value. Would visit again. Thank you.

The Black Horse Inn is a cosy pub, visited by local people who have their pints and play darts. They serve food of good quality (I had an excellent fish and chips) and a choice of beers to drink.Staff is friendly. They also have good accomodation for a reasonable price

Of all the delightful eateries in the Cambridgeshire area, this one can throw their hat into the ring for most furnished menu. An additional interest to several diners is the ability to cook your own steak just as you like it, at your table. Such an establishment deserves the custom as customers with an appetite deserve the Black Horse Inn.The staff, ambience and prepared food were without criticism. Furthermore, the en suite accommodation looks inviting in the picturesque environment.

We visited The Black Horse on a whim after struggling to find a pub in the area selling food at 8 ,30 on a Saturday evening.The staff were really friendly and welcoming and the food was excellent. As previous people have said the burgers were outstanding and the rock and roll bingo was a novel take on an old fashioned game. Such a shame that we were on our way to another function!!!!
