I booked the venue upstairs for a private party and it was GREAT! The space was perfect for what I wanted and the team supporting us were awesome! Attentive, patient an very tuned in to what I needed. I booked it with a deposit held on a minimum spend. The team kept me updated through the night, the refund was processed this morning automatically.... its just been very smooth! And actually the main star of the show.... the drinks were awesome!

I had my 30th birthday upstairs here as a private hire. The staff were really communicative before the event. On the night, loads of my guests praised the bartender Daniel for being excellent, making delicious cocktails and helping provide some extra light for photos. The food we ordered was delicious. Really lovely night and would recommend The Black Horse for anyone planning a party or even just popping in for a drink.

Hired the private venue for a celebration for my girlfriend - communication and organisation prior to the event was great and the night could not have gone any better! Dan and Hubert went above and beyond for us, making great cocktails all night, answering any questions we had and just being great to be around! Would highly recommend for a private event, and we'll definitely be back for a drink soon. Thanks again!

Warm and welcoming service with a great selection of drinks, including expertly crafted cocktails. The pub is spotless and well-maintained, making it a comfortable spot to relax and enjoy

Great little venue, great range of drinks but not so good on the cocktail front. Cocktails on offer were very poor, and no real effort made in presentation.
