Quinno _ left this review about The Black Horse
Situated in a quiet housing estate (although not that far from the High Street up the hill). A real treat, much larger than expected over two rooms via a knocked-through parlour. Wall and ceiling has a varnished thin wood tongue and groove cladding. Maroon and mocha colour scheme along with a classic pub carpet. Inbuilt windows above the bar - feels like a railway refreshment room. Lots of comedy events advertised for the function room. A GBG-listed Everards house with a good number of limited edition ales on; my Checkmate was a smidge warm but nice enough (NBSS 3) and the Trojan better (3.5). Think there were also a couple of ciders. 6 Nations on a drop down. Decided to grab some grub and got myself a tasty burger at a fairly competitive price. Barmaids pleasant though one swiped my glass which wasn't fully empty, tut-tut. I was impressed by this one, traditional pubmen will like it.

This was taken over by a new landlord about 18 months ago and has been given a new lease of life. It's been smartened up without losing any character or changing the layout. Wood-panelled bar, cosy lounge, regularly changing guest beers and a friendly, enthusiastic landlord. A village pub in the city!
