Fabulous value for the money and great service from start to finish
Great value roast carvery . Food was fresh and plentiful with plenty of choice . Amazing dessert trolley and exemplary service
Good food & friendly atmosphere , will go again for Sunday lunch .
Customer service was top rate. Old school type dining very nice
We love this place, family owned and family run. Nothing is too much trouble for them. The welcome is always warm and sincere and the food well cooked and plentiful. Bonus point: For a restaurant they keep the Gadds bitter superbly!
Tasty, beautiful, well cooked Italian food, very friendly and attentive service. They also have a specialist Italian deli shop once a month, and Italian nights, so do check it out. Can't wait to go back x
Excellent food. Excellent service. Excellent ambiance. Excellent value for money.
It is always a very enjoyable experience dining in your establishment. My friends were very impressed with the food, especially the variety of the dessert trolley! Many thanks. Bunny Po-Ba
Lovely meal and great but friendly service. We will return.
It's a pub, but it's also an authentic Italian restaurant. Try the cheeses, they are a speciality - and leave space for the sweet trolley.
Delicious Carvery lunch..very generous, delicious food..great friendly service and amazing sweet trolley..definitely the best Sunday lunch in the area !!!..and fantastic value!
Amazing food and service from all staff. Can’t fault anything. We brought our friends who are now interested in the Italian theme . Thank you We will be back
Beautiful dining experience al fresco surrounded by roses, vines and honeysuckle. Delicious authentic Italian cuisine and a warm welcome.
NICE TO SEE FRIENDS FROM YEARS AGO HAVING DINNER, I WOULD GO AGAIN TO NEXT ITALIAN EVENING
Lovely meal and brilliant service. Great choices. We will return.
After a day driving up through France and outragious UK Border Force delays at Calais the Black Horse was the perfect antedote to our tiredness and frustration. The warmness of the welcome and service throughout and seriously good food was outstanding.
Very pleasant reception and service.An excellent carvery lunch.Will definitely return.
Such a warm welcome with delicious food. Even a "doggy bag" to bring the other half of my lasagne home! Will definitely be returning in the very near future. Thank you everyone at The Black Horse for making our daughter's birthday celebration special. The Limoncello was mmmmmmmmmmmmm!
The Black Horse is truly a hidden gem and unique to the area as so many pubs are being taken over by business groups, becoming overly expensive and with a focus on burgers. We love the authentic Italian food, which is delicious and well priced as well as the Italian Deli which is there once a month. Staff are exceptional in their personal attention and pride in what they do.
Excellent food, service and location. Can't wait to go again.
Absolutely brilliant. On every level, thanks. Plus 4 words required for review parameters - annoying that the only negative is the review, perhaps we should start asking for reviews “how was I as a customer?”
Lovely food, great service and friendly staff. Will come back
Fabulous food , fabulous staff fabulous atmosphere will definitely be back. Loved it 🥰
Very good food and attentive staff...friendly atmosphere. We would eat there again
Perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. Staff very welcoming and attenive. Spoilt for choice ( especially desserts ). Will definately be back !!!!!
Arrived at 1 pm ( as booked) shown straight to table.. next... asked if we would like a drink.. menu given .. we showesd roast.. drinks arrived and now to get dinner.. .. ". Delicious.. ". Had a rest to let dinner settle... Then the desert trolley arrived and chose a pudding !! No problem..we will go yet again 🙂 x
Pleasant company, friendly service and good food! What else could you want?
Very friendly reception- no problem that we were only 3 despite booking for 4. Excellent selection on the drinks list including good non alcoholic options. Enticing Italian menu- main course pancakes were lovely. Good Shopping too- real panettone and Italian Easter eggs and chocolate Good value But make sure to follow satnav!!
Had a fantastic meal meat was lovely with plenty of vegetables, staff as always very attentive, was very busy when we went but nothing was too much trouble for everyone.
A thoroughly enjoyable lunch good portions friendly staff lovely puddings my 4th visit my mothers first and now she’ll be returning as well
Excellent food, good service and very pleasant owners as usual
Excellent service and courtesy from all the staff on site.
Really was looking forward to going back here after a hiatus of many years. Felt very welcome when we arrived. It was not at all busy. We booked in for the Sunday carvery and opted for the 3 meat choice. When we went to get our food it was just such a let down. Stingy with the meat and we were not able to help ourselves to the veg selection, it had to be served to us. Talk about portion control!! The cauliflower ‘cheese’ should have been reported to the trading standard authorities, for being described as having cheese, when it was distinctly lacking in any cheese flavour. The desserts were lacking in choice. Won’t be back. Sorry Black Horse, you need to check out what a real carvery is.
Initially we were placed in the middle of a busy restaurant surrounded by families with young children. My husband has difficulty hearing in noisy environments. The lovely staff were only too happy to move us when an area became available which suited us fine. Otherwise wonderful as always.
It was recommended to me and I can see why. The food, service and atmosphere are amazing and the dessert trolley was worth waiting for even though we.we’re full from the Sunday carvery dinner.
As excellent as usual and lookijng forward to next visit
Lovely food, fantastic staff & wonderful surroundings. Will definitely be back for more 😃
