This grade II listed three-storey building is a ‘17th-century timber-framed lobby-entry plan house, refronted in brick in the late 18th century’, with a modern extension to the ground floor.
To the right of the wooden entrance porch is an archway into the former stables. In 1828, Thomas Reese was the landlord at the Black Boy. Richard George’s many years as licensee ended with his death in 1875. In 1891, the landlady was a 67-year-old widow, Mrs Georgina Owen. At that time, there were still iron railings at the front of the inn.
Visited yesterday for lunch and had my usual buttermilk chicken burger. Only difference this time is it's resulted in severe throwing up last night. Genuinely disappointed as the black boy has always been great apart from one occasion previously.
Decent pint and food for the price. Staff were nice and polite. £11 for a burger and a pint of Guinness, cannot complaint at that.
I informed staff I required jacket potato to be hot , it wasn’t , also the.lettuce was in a bunch with the brown bottom still on it . Chicken breast on other meal was hot but chips Luke warm . Although it’s cheaply priced I still expect the basic Principles be applied .
Huge Weatherspoons went in yesterday for a Breakfast. And Apple juice was nice freshing. Looks small from outside but bigger than you imagine. Great location parking on the road for free only hour though.
Good well presented pub. Staff friendly, food tasty and affordable.
