Stunning 18th century pub that nestles in the heart of Chorleywood Common, one of the most beautiful and accessible areas of Hertfordshire.
Traditional in all respects, the Black Horse staff pride themselves on ensuring a delightful and relaxing atmosphere with a real community feel. With period beams, a real log fire that we light at the every opportunity, an open plan bar and separate dining area, this is a country pub that has retained the essence of what makes the rural English pub experience so special. Comfy seating and a warm cosy atmosphere ensure that a pleasant experience is to be had by all, coupled with friendly and professional staff all ready to wish you and warm welcome.
Given our very privileged location we are a very popular location for visiting ramblers, cyclists and dog walkers all enjoying the two hundred and fifty acre common which we are surrounded by.The outside fronts directly onto the common giving us a huge natural garden, whilst a beer garden with large marquee and well equipped outside bar ensures full use of our venue and its facilities.
Homemade, freshly prepared and deliciously traditional food is served everyday to our excellent regular trade built up throughout the years. Our daily changing specials menu ensures a wide variety of choices with smaller portions available for those with a smaller appetite.
Our increasingly popular Sunday evening acoustic nights is becoming the talk of the town! With regular performers bringing in their followers and all new performers encouraged to come down and have a go.
We look forward to welcoming you.
There is plenty of parking and Wifi available. All major cards accepted and cashback can also be provided.

Excellent lunch post dog walk. Pub food as it should be. The pie + Veg and the pork belly were very good.
Very popular for Sunday lunch, glad we booked as walk-ins who had not booked were being asked to sit outside! Excellent Roast Pork and delightful Chocolate Marquise dessert I've of the best Sunday lunches I've had for a while!
I normally only eat breakfast here which is divine. This weekend however popped in for lunch. The service was amazing, helpful polite and friendly. The burger was OUTSTANDING. Juicy and cooked well… good amount of Brie too. The truffle chips were great too! Thank you Black horse ❤️
Lovely pub. Will definitely be back. We had the roast pork and roast chicken. Generous portions, yummy food. Potatoes could be a little softer but everything else was delish. Staff were also lovely and attentive despite being super busy. Also lovely setting. We sat in the heated huts which was perfect and private- great for a date night. It was our anniversary and they also left us a lovely little surprise for dessert
I was both surprised & extremely impressed with the Black Horse's varied dining set up, from the 4 seater cabins outside, to the individually stylised sheds & igloo pod for more private group dinners. Stylishly decorated throughout it makes for a lovely dining experience. The food was great. The menu was really well thought through including all the usual favourites as well as beautifully presented dishes covering vegans to carnivores. A very dog friendly pub in an open country setting - stunning on a hot evening & one I really recommend you to try. I will return soon with a group of friends :)
