Lovely Little village pub and diner. Great home cooked food ( good variety) with quite few interesting staff going on. Quiz dinner on tuesdays, entertaintment on saturdays. Good promotions time to time.
Must try: home made burger!!!
Love it!

The Black Horse is a smallish two bar pub tucked away down the narrow Black Horse Lane in South Mimms, just off the main rat run between Junctions 22 and 23 of the M25.
There’s been an inn on the site since the 18th Century and the current pub is a traditional back street boozer doing a decent pint and decent pub grub. It’s a Greene King pub, so the beer choice is not stunning, with usually IPA and Speckled Hen on offer and the IPA has been well kept on the couple of times I have dropped in. The internal decor is traditional with wooden beams, brass plaques and old photos on the walls and an open fire in the more public of the two bars. But the Lounge section, which is mainly used as the dining section, is still fairly plain and homely and has a feeling more like your Grans front room.
The pub also benefits from a decent sized outsize back garden, equipped with a Gazebo with benches to accommodate the smokers.
Customers tend to be locals and passing ramblers, exploring the many woodland walks in the area.
So, in conclusion a decent enough, no frills back street local boozer and if I lived in the village, I’d certainly be in here at regular intervals.
