"Meeting friends here for Sunday lunch this afternoon, we 've all come away slightly disappointed by our choice. The Black Horse is immaculate, having clearly had a decent budget spent on interior decoration and furnishings, with a cherishing of its connections to nearby Pinewood the walls are festooned with black and white photos of famous film stars and directors who have been past customers. At the same time, the bathrooms are labelled stable boys and stable girls , playing on the obvious coach house traditions from a pub at a crossroads. All very nice, as were the lovely staff who greeted us as we arrived and brought us our food. But that 's where the problem lay. All of the niceties failed to disguise the fact that our food was really very disappointing. Five had opted for the roast beef, all agreeing that the beef was very well done, with rock hard Yorkshire puddings and soggy broccoli. I 'd opted for bangers and mash, to be presented with a small mound of mash, three sausages and a large bowl of peas. The mash was really quite inadequate a portion, certainly in relation to the peas portion. As we were amongst the first of the day (1245 for 1), this disappointing food offer seemed hard to explain there was no rush to handle. We were at least ten minutes into the meal before being asked if all was well some of our party would have complained if we 'd had time to accept a second run at the meal, but we didn 't. So, with a bill of £73 for four adults and three kids, only one kid seemed happy with her meal, while everyone else left a little less than impressed. Definitely, it could have been better."

"I have to say the worst experience in a pub I never ever complain but at £20 almost a roast dinner the quality is low , I have been in the hospitality industry for more 20 years running some of capitals best restaurant as a chef , restaurant owner and consultant , this dinner cost was less than £3 to produce , I had a carrot whole which was under cooked and almost raw , instant gravy , and meat that was so bad that a frozen roast dinner quality was better. I don’t understand why cabbage is on a roast. After consulting on successful pubs myself the service was terrible, was seated with my family at 6.30pm, no one came for half an hour , the dining room was only 10 tables , was watching the three young girls around the EPOS station , playing with there mobiles for half an hour until we were spotted. I would say the roast I had today quality would be ok if I paid £10 but the truth of the matter is if your going to sell food at a higher price the quality needs to be there, meaning more roast vegetables, green vegetables , proper meat jus and good slice of pink beef and great Yorkshire pudding and great service too. I went to this pub before COVID it was pricy but the quality of the meal was there , seems covid has destroyed the hospitality industry, at no point should a waiter be rude to a customer this was the case on my visit to this pub, and just to note I didn’t. Ask for a refund I paid the full price of this shocking meal and service as you can see it’s over £100 for something that should be a fraction, as a person who know what they are talking about I would never return to this establishment not because of the food but the rude service people who took no responsibility for there actions."
