Alan Winfield left this review about The Dark Horse
The Dark Horse is a town pub that is situated towards the top end of Church Road.
Once inside the bar faces in a roughly L shaped room,the floor is bare boarded,there is bench seating to the rear left and normal tables and chairs and long tables with long benches on the right side,the rear right side is up one step.
There is a separate room to the rear right which was in darkness.
There were no pumps on the bar,so i opted for a half of Butcombe Gorum which was a keg beer,this was quite a nice drink,i then noticed a barrel on the bar,which had Bespoke Golden Rule on.
The pub seemed a bit too cluttered for my liking with too much seating crammed into it.
The pub was empty on my Saturday dinner visit,but i got the impression that it would be a pub to have a meal.

Blackthorn _ left this review about The Black Horse
A basic, no frills boozer located towards the top of Church Road. It a single room, U-shape pub with the bar in the middle. To the left of the bar is some old bench seating and a scattering of tables and chairs elsewhere.
There were several fruit machines, quiz machines, etc. dotted around, and a plasma in one corner near the door although the volume was turned down on this. There was a further area at the back of the pub, although this was in darkness so I didn’t explore it.
It was very quiet on a recent Saturday evening, with only about half a dozen other punters in there at 9:00pm. The solitary barmaid was busy texting but stopped promptly enough to serve us. A little background music would probably have added to the atmosphere, it was mostly either too quiet or too noisy (when something had been put on the jukebox).
The only beer on offer was keg Courage Best unfortunately. Ciders were Blackthorn and Symond’s Founders Reserve.
