The Black Horse

It wasnt our first visit. Lovely Old little pub away from the main road. Great home made lunch with my friend. The salmon was delicious and looked great too. Sugar free apple pancake was a treat and went down really well. Nice space outside to enjoy the sunshine. Will return for sure.

Such a lovely friendly pub. Staff are extremely helpful and service is impeccable. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch today from a very generous menu and will return again very soon. They also have a wonderful comfortable beer garden and plenty of parking. Most definitely recommend this place!!

The food was fantastic with a really good selection of great dishes. If you are into your real ale then Dad had their own Black Horse stout which was excellent. The owner and bar staff were super friendly and accommodating. The dog loved lying in front of the fire and was spoiled with gravy bones. Could not recommend this pub enough.

Such a lovely quaint country pub. The staff is fantastic and the Hungarian food is amazing. Have to go back again real soon. Even the customers are lovely We ended up talking to had a good old chin wag 🙏🏾❤

Another wonderful lunch with my sisters, brother and partners.
We live in Beds, Essex and Bucks and this is a great central place to meet and eat.
Food , service and value for money are all exceellent.

A hidden gem on Black Horse lane. I rarely review places due to not visiting independent businesses that often. This time we went to find one on a beautiful summers day and we were not let down!

There was a tonne of parking available, the building is matching to its era and well kept, the food was amazing (by portion as well as flavour) and lastly, the staff were really polite that I felt more at home than just at a pub.

Very cozy pub with open fire place. Great food freshly made, very good value for money. Staff are very welcoming and kind.
Highly recommended

A very tasty ploughman’s lunch with a cheeky side order of chips today. All the food I saw coming from the kitchen looked delicious. Fast and super friendly service in a beautiful country pub, at very reasonable prices. Cannot recommend highly enough, will definitely be returning to this hidden gem.

Fantastic little pub with very welcoming staff. Had a hungarian pork dish, which was delicious.

Beautiful little pub found by accident as the Premier Inn restaurant was shut, but so glad we did! Friendly, helpful staff, fresh food made to order and a varied menu. Lovely evening. Would definitely return of we were in the area again.

This little pub is the most treasured secret if you have not been there - everything about it is truly amazing - every dish is superbly cooked and chosen to be delicious such that you want to order everything but you can’t as the portions are substantial- you just have to keep going- very keenly priced for every pocket - atmosphere also perfect from the kindest and most sincere staff - if you don’t go you are missing out and when you do go you will kick yourself you didn’t go sooner !!!!!!!!

I rarely score a pub or restaurant 5 stars, but after 2 visits we really can’t fault The Black Horse!
Very friendly welcome, lots of info on local real ale (£3.90 a pint) lots of COVID info wipe’s hand gel, screens etc.
Ordered pint of real ale, pint of bottled coke, and a homemade cheese burger (total £15) with lots of chips & generous side salad to share with my daughter. Food came out quickly, was hot, well presented and a generous amount. The burger was amazing with chunks of steak & gravy inside, proper cheese not that orange plastic square!
My daughter & myself loved our meal, “best burger ever” she said!
Well worth a visit to this peaceful traditional village pub, and on the off road walking & cycle trails from north to south mimms.

Four of us visited for lunch and were very pleased by the limited but varied choice on the menu. Our meals turned out to be excellent quality including the delicious apple pancakes for pudding. One of our party had an allergy and nothing was too much trouble to find something suitable for her. Thanks Renata for a very enjoyable lunch with our friends.

So glad we came here for Sunday Lunch today. The staff and especially the landlady couldn’t do enough for us. She described with a passion the dishes on the menu and recommended which ones my mum, who is a coeliac, could eat. The food was delicious, full of flavour and very good value. The pub had a lovely cheery atmosphere. We all enjoyed the whole experience. So good to meet someone who loves what she does and takes so much care and pride in every detail. Don’t hesitate to visit!

The pub is a traditional local pub with rustic decor. We visited because we couldn't check into out hotel and wanted some lunch. The staff and landlady were very friendly and the food was excellent and very good value. Will definitely be visiting again.

Lovely little pub, doing fantastic homemade food, what a find for the 8 of us , such lovely welcoming staff, thank u and see u next time we come back to the hotel.

We have found a lovely secret pub that does great food . I would highly recommend the schnitzel . Landlady seemed lovely and service was great ! This is very hard to find these days .

Terrific value for money, lovely people and very welcoming to Ralph the cocker spaniel. We'll certainly return.

A great little pub. Just off the main road. The food was amazing. Those chips. And the Snowflake cake wonderful. We all had a wonderful family reunion. We all agree would happily meet there again. Thank you so much for hosting us. the Richmond family.

Super trad Herts/Beds style pub. The food is awesome. Fantastic welcome from Roxana and her team. Great value. Dead easy to get too as well from M25 or A1
