If you're looking for an old school pub with a relaxed homely feel, this is the place. We enjoyed Sunday lunch here after the Remembrance Day parade at Victoria Park, and I can't praise the staff and especially Colleen for hosting us.
The food was 5*, and the locals were extremely welcoming.
Looking at what this place has to offer from open comedy nights to quizzes in its separate venue, there's something for everyone. Child and dog friendly with an open fire and plenty of seating, I just wish I didn't live in Northampton as this would become my local!!!
Until next time, to Colleen and the team, thanks from us all. You made a difficult day very memorable for all the right reasons.
Homemade Beef Stew. It's been a long time since I last had a stew of any kind. This meal didn't let me down. Everything that goes into a stew complements each other so well, from the carrots to the gravy, dumplings, and a baguette on the side to dip in. Words don't do this meal justice; you have to try for yourself.
Good experience at the black horse. The food is good, unfortunately there was a special menu we were not aware of and was not possible order from the main menu. Anyway, the food provided was delicious.
Be aware that there is not so much space to park outside

Charming, rustic traditional pub just outside of Leicester city centre, distinguished by a spacious and comfortable beer garden. I visited the pub on the first day of their "Summer Beer Festival", which essentially meant a larger than usual cask ale and cider range, and a barbecue in the evening. I arrived early in the afternoon when it wasn't too busy, but by the time I left (around 5 pm), it had become quite busy. Service was friendly, the fish cakes I had were quite good and not too pricey, and the atmosphere was pleasant and relaxing. Some nice beers, too.
It's so good to have this pub as a local. There are plenty of plaudits on here about the food and beer etc. and it's all true. This is more than a pub though. It's a community hub and reflects Alan and Sarah's warmth, enthusiasm and altruism. A number of interest groups have made it their base and they certainly know how to entertain. A visit to the Black Horse is more than going out for a drink, it's being part of something bigger.
Walked into lounge area roaring open fire and great atmosphere. One of the bar staff was extremely rude and ignorant. Others were all great. We'd hired the bowling room for the afternoon which was all lovely and warm for us. The BBQ food was set up in a small cabin and was amazing. Fantastic day. We like real ale good selection of that too. Highly recommended
We called in to what we hope will be our local pub when we move into the village.
When we walked through the door it was very cosy where the staff were very helpful and made us very welcome.
For entertainment you could not fault them.
Lots to do and enjoy, especially over this festive season.
We did not have time to try the food but we have it from family who have eaten there, the food was very good.
Excellent food, beer and atmosphere.
Visit for various comedy gigs, great local pub, grear friendly owners and staff. Plus great food.
My husband had beef stew and dumplings, the stew was good But the dumplings were not edable he couldn't even get his fork in them told the girls to tell the cook, and not even a sorry came back. Not again.
