ROB Camra left this review about Black Horse

Looks like a normal sized pub from the outside, but it goes back a very long way. It was pretty quiet on a Wednesday night and the fact that it's so big made it look empty. A pretty pedestrian selection of cask ales over 6 handpumps, but my pint of White Rat was in decent nick. I didn't think that this was a particularly comfortable place, especially with a couple of "Care In The Community" types in, but Ms CAMRA hated it. I doubt we'll be coming here again.

A deceptively large pub. Its basically in two parts as it stretches a long way back. Though its sort of of one long room it does have two serveries. The front roadside bar is a pleasant place and its here that you will find the cask ale. There are 6 handpumps in two banks of three and though the beer choice is a bit pedestrian for four of the pumps (Pedigree, Bombardier, Hobgob and Black Sheep Bitter) there wereca couple of half decent beers (Ossett Silver King and Treacle Treat by someone I've forgotten). The rear area is larger and seems to be diner friendly and it also leads on to the canal.

High St pub that's long and thin leading back to a canal side terrace and another much larger bar area. Decorated in a mix of styles mainly traditional with bench seating and flag floors although it also has screens and machines. Two banks of three pulls with beers from Black Sheep, Copper Dragon and a guest from Brains all except the Copper Dragon with "coming soon" labels (this is not a 'Spoons by the way), I tasted and nearly spat it out as it was clearly the end of barrel, an exchange was offered but it took about 20 minutes for a replacement to appear as all the lines needed pulling through. This should have been done before opening.

Real Ale Ray left this review about Black Horse Hotel

Grade II listed building with frontage built in the 15th century. The front bar area had a stone fireplace with stove and mainly caters for drinkers. To the rear of the pub is another bar in the dining area, with a balcony overlooking the river and canal basin. There where six ales on our visit, the Black Sheep was good.

Great Traditional Pub! I visited with three friends last Friday after work for dinner and drinks and found there to be a great mixed age group atmosphere. Our meal was lovely and the new manager seems great. I think this will most definately be a winner over christmas! I will certainly be returning.

Alan Winfield left this review about Black Horse Hotel

This is a two bar pub at the top of the market place.
I went in the front bar which is mainly for drinking only this was very busy with a mixture of age groups, the back bar is more of a dining room.
There were two real ales on i had a drink of Copper Dragon Bitter wich was a decent drink the other beer was Copper Dragon Golden Pippin.
This pub was quite comfortable and i was happy having a drink in here.
