"while we go out for christmas and to the second week of the year, it is time to let the Sunday-Mittags path up and running. we drove for a long overdue return to the black horse in brentwood, which is part of the vintage inns chain. I am also very pleased to say that we have not been left in the least. at our arrival we received a nice greeting that contained a reception from manager leigh before we sit at our table. we started with a drink while we watch the menu. Once we have made our decisions, our waitress nina, which I must say, has taken our order very friendly and professionally during our lunch. we started with a Prawn cocktail and the often baked button portobello mushrooms. these dishes were a joy and a great opportunity to begin. now we moved on to the roasted and young we were for a tasty bite. my wife chose the Roast Torkei and for me I had to choose the trio froms that was a mixture of black bell, truthahnbeef. the roasts were accompanied with a selection of sweet, bratkartoffeln, yorkshire pudding, gravur and of course the additional flower cauliflower cheese. we needed a little break before we finished dessert. that gave us the chance to have a chat with manager leigh. to dessert my wife chose the eton mess and on waitress ninas recommended I chose the banoffee pie with toffee sauce. we finished with a coffee to finish a fantastic Sunday dinner. the food and service was excellent and can really not expect to visit again soon. I would definitely recommend a visit as this is a great place for couples, small and large groups where they can enjoy good eating along with friendly service. many thanks to leigh and the whole team especially our waitress nina, who really took care of us and is looking forward to seeing them very soon."

"My experience with the staff's knowledge of veganism at this restaurant has been excellent. They were well-trained in understanding dietary requirements, which was reassuring. I have dined here about four times now, primarily because of the convenience of its location near my home. I enjoy being able to eat at a pub with a cozy fireplace. The pub offers a completely vegan menu, and the staff are happy to assist if you mention it. I have tried the burger and chips, a simple but tasty option, as well as the vegetable tart, a refreshing change from the usual vegan curry found at other nearby pubs. However, I wish that there were the option to add a side at no extra cost, as the main servings are quite small. I also found the sauce around the edge of the tart to taste like ketchup, which I felt was not the best choice for decoration; a red pepper sauce or red pesto would have been more suitable. I have also tried the soup and the Thai curry, both of which tasted reheated and were not worth the price. The highlight of my meals here has been the delicious puddings, particularly the chocolate torte and pecan tart. I would prefer the pecan tart to be served warm. Overall, these desserts are the best vegan options I have come across in the borough of Broxbourne. A meal at this pub, followed by a walk along the old and new rivers nearby, would make for a delightful day out."
