The Black Horse - Carta

A very friendly local pub, we really enjoyed the food we ate, everything seemed freshly home made. The bar was heaving which created a great atmosphere, live music then appeared and our quick bite to eat turned into a full evening full of fun!

Christmas Works Party.. What can I say other than a big Thank You.. Fantastic County Pub full of Christmas spirit, Excellent food, very tasty and a good amount of food on the plate. Great Team serving and manning the Bar, Festive cheer continued into the evening.. would recommend

We opted to all have the same, 3 roast beef dinners, the beef was lovely but all the veg was undercooked, roast potatoes were hard in the middle, carrots were basically raw and the yorkshires were stodgy, and the worst part was the fishy cauliflower cheese !! Not only was the food pretty poor the service was no better! Overall a very poor experience. Ver carta

The Black Horse is a real gem. Lively, warm, friendly and fun. Luke, the manager, was welcoming and a joy. For dinner, we had steaks, which were superb, and the house wine was spectacular. We got chatting to some locals after our meal. Kyle, the South African, was so nice to me and my husband and really made us feel like part of the family. We will be back for sure once we're back in Oxfordshire.

Lovely character pub full of good staff good food and funny friendly locals. People seem to forget when they are on holiday they are in some ones local pub so there’s banter and funny slanging matches and the staff feel the need to apologise to us strangers and shouldn’t !! HONESTLY we have been in for one or two most nights and ate there this pub it wonderful full of charm and character from floor to ceiling and wellingtons to flat caps. Lovely garden back and front

We enjoyed our meal here the food was good and the staff attentive. For a quietish meal in the restaurant though, there was a telly rigged up showing the rugby and the volume was extremely loud which clouded our experience as we struggled to hear ourselves talk. The bar got very busy towards the end of our meal, to the point where the staff rather gave up paying attention to the diners and we had to fight our way to the busy bar through people (loud music by this point) and ask if we could pay as we'd been waiting ages for someone to come back and take our money.

Had dinner booked here on a Monday evening. Most things were off the menu which was disappointing. There was no chicken jerk, no lobster and only one pie left. I’m not sure how as I believe the pub does not yet serve lunch on Mondays so to be off the menu by 7pm is quite something! Instead of a dessert I ordered a liqueur coffee which was on the menu. I couldn’t have this either and was told that only the manager can make these and wasn’t working…! Also, the back garden is looking a bit scruffy and overgrown and wasn’t a particularly nice place to enjoy a drink. The only good thing I can find to say about a really disappointing evening was that the 2 girls working were friendly and doing the...

Popped in for a bite of lunch and ordered the fish butty on malted bread with tartar sauce and the chicken, mozzarella with pesto panini. Well what we had vaguely resembled the above. No malted bread so they served the fish butty in a panini no Tatar sauce but covered the battered fish in garlic mayonnaise??? The chicken pesto panini was deep fried chicken in bread crumbs on a slab of mozzarella with no pesto but garlic mayonnaise again?? If they had said they had no malted bread, tartar sauce or pesto we would have chosen something else. Just for the record garlic mayonnaise doesn’t work with these dishes. The young ladies behind the bar were delightful. No I didn’t tell them so they can pu...

It was OK. It wasn 't bad as such. Staff OK, bit slow service wise. Not as attentive as one would expect. Local 'yoof ' drinkers seem to be well catered for. Food OK. Mostly. Prawn Chorizo starters tasty but very minimalist. Chorizo is not that expensive. Mains Fish Chips good (MASSIVE chips ! . Chicken with Cajun fries/chips chicken PLAIN fries/chips. No Cajun spice/seasoning at all. Someone either forgot or more than one person (chef server doesn 't know the menu. Sausage mash very disappointing. I hate to say it but really very bland/poor sausages (2 thin chipolata type/looking and similar to those you might get for a greasy spoon breakfast , mash was just OK but dry, very little gravy (a...
