Gary & Michele have been at The Black Horse for nearly 22 years, and their 'core team' have been with them all that time. So you will see the same faces, Michele, Paula, Charlie and Graham in charge of the kitchen. Luke, Jade and theirs helpers behind the bar and waitressing. Gary 'our leader' taking orders and directing. And of course, 'Big Jan' in charge of everybody!.
Step inside and you will find a traditional pub, with lots to offer. You can choose to have a pint in our friendly bar or tuck into something from the menu. All our food is home made and where possible, locally sourced.
Our Sunday Lunch Carvery is particularly popular and really good...even if we do say so ourselves.
Don't be fooled, we can cater for parties for up to 130 people. With a range of set menus, buffet choices, Bar B Q's menus and even a whole Hog Roast. The choice is yours. We hope this site will give you a little taster of what we can offer.

This is the spot for a family meal where no one could possibly leave unhappy or with an empty stomach. Dogs welcome and given equal attention. Lovely Christmas Eve dinner spread, absolutely the best roast (carvery) I’ve had in England. delicious succulent selection of pork, turkey, lamb and beef for Christmas Eve and lashings of the tastiest gravy, crispy hot potatoes and Yorkshire puddings, cauliflower cheese broccoli, pea’s, carrots and cabbage, and a fantastic peppery leek concoction that rounded out the plate. But be warned… you will want seconds, the problem is, YOU CAN. Dessert selection is also unique and large, happily able to top off the meal with something fruity lemony and light or dense and chocolatey you’ll have the option. Great, friendly, service, with the owner mucking in herself just rounded out the joyful family atmosphere.
Fantastic food, accomodating and friendly staff, we had a fab family meal.
Food was good if you make the right choices sticking to pub grub. The portions however are extremely generous, even the children's menu, making this good value for money. Staff are very helpful and accommodating. Would go back for a Sunday Roast
It’s very rare I ever give top marks for everything but…. Wow! This place is absolutely amazing. Ive never eaten a roast dinner in a restaurant and thought it was better than my own, but the black horse is on a level with mine but their meat was way better. The staff were absolutely lovely and helpful, approachable and friendly. The dessert was 🤌🏻💋 chefs kiss. The garden is a really lovely spot and it’s just a really chilled out vibe good for all ages and families too. They replenished the food constantly and it smelt amazing. The lamb was so tender and flavourful. Love this place will definitely be recommending and coming back regularly. 10/10
A while ago I met a merry man at a bus stop who told me about this place and swore by it. So it's been on my list of places to go for a while, and I'm glad I finally got to try it. Decided to go for the carvery with my partner and friends. The place is deceptively large as if it looks like a small pub when you first walk in but it stretches quite far back and gets wider as it does. Excellent choice of meats and veg in the carvery, pork, lamb, chicken, turkey, and beef! One of the most unexpected surprises was the leek, I could have eaten a bowl of that on its own! However I was so hungry when I arrived I neglected to take any photos of this Puddings are included in the price of the carvery too (£20). I had the orange and honeycomb cheesecake. Very rich and I couldn't eat another bite after I'd finished. The cheesecake had a delicious burnt orange taste to it. Would love to visit again, and try some of the other mains.
