Steps to enter and to beer garden. Once inside its level and wheelchair friendly. Helpful staff. Vape friendly, very relaxed atmosphere. Best beer garden in Chester-le-Street apparently accessible without going through the pub and doing the steps
First time we visited in years and we were pleasantly surprised. The interior is good and there is a large beer garden to the back. Choice of drinks was good and reasonably priced. Will definitely visit again.
Donna and Martin have brought the proper Black horse back to Chester-le-Street. The most friendly publicans keeping it real, beer is spot on, had a couple of friends down from Newcastle who commented that the Guiness is the best they've had for years!
Can't say a bad thing about the pub, the atmosphere, the punters! and an amazing beer garden that reflects how great the place is going , oh and free Pool table on a Tuesday!!
Long may it last!
It's been a long time since I've visited the Black Horse. Same layout but a huge difference in the decor and drinks. Some may say its expensive however for the quality of drinks and surroundings its very reasonable. Would absolutely visit again.
Great place. Martin and Donna are fantastic. Nipped in from a recommendation from 150 miles away and I wasn’t disappointed. Perfect pub, perfect music and perfect staff. When I the area again I’ll 100% be coming here again.
I'm an ole git and a 'Southerner' who has recently moved up here and have run from the Funeral Parlour Type Pubs that have consumed the south. Plastic Gastro Pubs that have the atmosphere of a Chernobyl's Reactor Room. I was over the moon discovering The Black Horse, a pub with no coffee machine taking centre place, just a good ole proper pub. Yes it has its characters but it has great beer, good staff and generally a great atmosphere. If you want a coffee and a quiet drink, find a friggin coffee shop!
They’ve just started doing food and it was incredible, definitely recommend! Can’t wait to go through everything on the menu 😆 Great staff, great atmosphere!
Always in for drinks but are now serving food and it was the best food we have had in chester le street for a long time... The loaded fries and burgers are second to none 👌... Definitely will be back
Good staff, a pool table and cold beer. Average prices. Large beer garden out back. I'm sure I remember karaoke too 😃
One of the last great pubs in Chester le street. Its not the biggest location, but the atmosphere inside is great. The drinks are all reasonably priced, and they have everything you could want. Great beer garden for when the weather is good. Also a pool table which doesn't rip you off for a game
