Black Horse Inn Thorndon

Lovely friendly staff, tables outside, this is a great traditional country pub for summer afternoons as well as cosy winter evenings.

Stopped off for a great burger dinner, one chicken and one veggie, really good hand cut chips, coleslaw and tasty fillings. Good to see a range of tasty vegetarian options (not the poor choice of two that so many pubs provide). We noticed several take-out meals were also served while we ate outside so seems a popular choice. Locally brewed Strummer ale was smashing too. Very difficult to fault.

We stumbled across this wonderful place, whilst out for a drive. Can't rate it highly enough. Staff are very welcoming. Specials menu has lots to choose from as had the dessert board. Disappointed I was too full up from my main to fit one in! We shall definitely be returning.

What a gem of a pub - visited twice whilst holidaying in the area and had fantastic meals & service on both occasions. Lovely welcoming staff. Good selection of gluten free options on the menu as well which was a real bonus. Absolutely recommend a visit!

Great old pub. Very good staff and food. Lovely atmosphere. Definitely recommend. Thanks all.

Went for meal here for my mother’s birthday. Food was delicious and cheesecake was so light and refreshing after the delicious curry. Friendly staff definitely worth a visit. Highly recommend.

We had our evening meal there. This was our first visit, what a beautiful oldie worldie pub, with a lovely warm and friendly atmosphere. I had the fish & chips and my partner had a curry, lovely and tasty, well cooked and medium sized portions which was just right, which was followed by icecream. We will be going back again, and really recommend it.

Booked a table for 4 without issue, nice charming period pub and restaurant, food was excellent and reasonably priced, staff were friendly and obliging, the wait wasn't too long for our meals either recommend.

Great food and service. The Sunday roast is fabulous!
