"Today, on the 100th birthday of my late uncle, my almost 101-year-old aunt, myself, and two close friends decided to honor the occasion by going out for lunch. We have visited this restaurant many times before and have always had a great experience. Today was no exception. We were warmly welcomed as we arrived separately and were seated in a lovely spot in the restaurant. Our server, Sandra, was kind, patient, and lovely. Our drinks arrived promptly, giving us time to peruse the wonderful menu. The food was served right on time, and we all admired each other's dishes. My aunt enjoyed the Lashford sausage and mash with cabbage - the portion was so generous she had to take some home, but she loved every bite. I had the shoulder of lamb with crushed potatoes, carrots, leeks, and cabbage, which was cooked perfectly. The lamb was tender and flavorful, and the jus tied everything together beautifully. My friends both had the quiche with a side salad and were impressed, agreeing that we need to visit this restaurant more often. Unfortunately, we were too full for dessert, but they all looked delicious. The restaurant is beautiful, the staff is fabulous, the food is amazing, and every penny was well spent. Thank you for making a difficult day so special."

"we were here yesterday to meet a family we had not seen in 20 years. before the hand 8 of us decided to meet a bit earlier and have an evening meal, which we wish we did not disturb. the service was good to start, but then. it went down from there. my own and my partner shared the ham croquets, first they were cut in the half? not sure why, but we think it could have been to check that they were cooked properly, as they tasted, as if they had come out of the freezer. one had the chicken taquitos, that was just a chicken sluice and was not baked. for the first I had the cattle burger, but with red thorny jam and truffle and parmesan fries. burger was simple, no tomato or salate and the jam was just brewed, almost dried red wobble. Burger-Bunge was out of the freezer when it was crooked. the truffle and parmesan fries tasted nothing like truffle, and the “Parmesan” was not parmesan. I mentioned this at the end and the beautiful waitress went and asked and came with “the cook just said that they were very lightly seasoned”. my partner had the pepperoni pizza that was good. two more guests with us had the chili con carne, who was really a puppy game from chili and rice in a bowl with a little sliced chili above. both were sent back when they were cold. again it looked like it came out of a deep cooler and heated again. well to say we didn't go for the desert! the pub is really nice, and the garden is even better. they have a pergola outside with warm lights, which is beautiful especially in summer evenings. would be definitiw again for a drink in the garden."

"Fantastic place, great atmosphere, especially in summer when it's hot you could close your eyes and imagine you were in Spain. We have never been disappointed when going there, nor anybody we've taken there. Wheelchair accessibility: Entrance is wide with no steps. The restaurant has 2 areas one. To access one area requires 2 steps but the other area is accessible. Service: Dine in"

"Believe it or not, our recommendation for this gorgeous century inn came from a table mat! My parents have a set of famous English pubs' placemats and this is one of them. As we happened to be in the area, visiting the superb Cotswolds...Distillery, we thought we'd better try it. The Black Horse serves Thai food. A lot of pubs that are converted into restaurants lose their pub character altogether and I was a bit concerned that the Black Horse might be one of them. However, I am delighted to say that the bar and lounge areas still represent a good, traditional English pub with a cosy atmosphere and, by all appearances, a thriving trade entirely separately from the restaurant. The restaurant is housed in a large room with the same old stone and wooden beams as the rest of the inn. The menu is extensive and varied. Prices are fair. Service was very friendly and efficient. All of us found our meals to be absolutely delicious. Oddly, neither desserts nor tea appeared on the menu. Not a big deal but worth bearing in mind. Overall, a really enjoyable lunch. The Black Horse Inn is not on a table mat for nothing!"

"A really nice restaurant with friendly staff. Have been here a number of times before with no complaints. Food wise very good but their recently introduced summer menu (particularly on a Sunday) is a little uninspiring. Rather than their normal Sunday lunch offerings namely roast beef , roast pork etc with all the trimmings they have moved to steaks and BBQ. Surprisingly they still have roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings available but with a steak….not really! Heard a number of negative comments from other diners when we were there so hopefully the restaurant will quickly pick up on this and revert to their standard offerings. If they don’t I will not be returning anytime soon which will be a shame. Pricewise with they way they are pricing at the moment I.e. steaks are a stand alone price and extras are literally priced on top this proved to be quite an expensive family Sunday lunch."
