From the minute you drive into the car park, the service is exceptional. Every single waiter or member of staff is attentive and friendly. Regardless of how busy the place is. The food is fantastic and the options are great. It’s the little things about this place that make you realise how special it is. Things like making it clear on the menu that ‘you’ll be getting bread and olives that are complimentary’ before you order your starters. I’ve never seen that before.... I think this is one of the best places I’ve ever been too, and the staff just make it better. It’s hard to get all staff to be equally as good, but they’ve nailed it here!

First of many visits to the black horse, hadn't booked, very busy, but the staff did inform us on waiting time for food on which we didn't wait long at all. The king prawns, excellent and the pudding was to die for (minute on your lips life time on your hips) but well worth it.

We always have a fantastic time with excellent food and service. Celebrated a birthday today and there was a birthday card from the staff, everyone wished a happy birthday and they also brought out a happy birthday platter with biscuit. Excellent December menu and specials on offer and we all cleared our plates! Highly recommended to anyone who enjoys eating and drinking well and in a cosy and friendly environment.

Went to The Black Horse (my very first visit) yesterday for late lunch. Ordered steak burger & fries & my friend ordered the chicken with fries. Gorgeous food with complimentary jug water, bread, olives. The service was superb, & very efficient. Would highly recommend.

Just spent the weekend there in the chalet 1 to the side of the pub and everything about it down to the food and service was superb. The staff could not do enough for us and genuinely made you feel welcome. Would highly recommend and would defiantly stay there again.

Wonderful meal perfectly cooked to our individual needs, staff were so friendly and polite knowledgable. We were treated like royalty from the moment we arrived. Even 5* is never enough to describe the experience the Black Horse offers Thankyou to everyone.

Brilliant menu and food and a lovely atmosphere. It was nice to be "walked through" the menu. My ONLY quibble is that we sat in front of empty starter plates for about half an hour without them being cleared away. I would recommend it and will certainlybe co ing again.

Absolutely fantastic christmas meal last night. From the starters (Cod Arancini Balls / Brie / Soup / Chicken Ballotine ) to the mains (Ribeye Steak / Pork Loin / Turkey) finished with awesome desserts ( Rum baba / Cheesecake) Service was brilliant and attentive, not rushed at all. Great place for a nice meal with family and loved ones.

This was our 4th visit since moving to Bedford. The Black Horse is so consistent - a very warm welcome, excellent service by the waiters & waitresses and top quality food! Despite being very busy the diners are always made to feel like they’re the only people in the restaurant & are not rushed in any way. Thank you for another fantastic booking �

Had sunday lunch here, the lamb was rather poor, so was substituted for beef which was not much better. Both very tough and hard to cut even with the steak knives provided. However the service and customer care was second to none. So we will be returning.

If you want to spoil yourself this is the place to go. Menu covers most budgets but if you're in spoil yourself mode expect to pay around £60 per person. But trust me you won't be disappointed with the food or service. Especially like the special touches like anniversary / birthday card and a little special treat at the end. Its the attention to those little things that keep us going back again and again and again

Very friendly and helpful staff! Stayed in one of the chalets which was pretty and quaint, gets very warm in there though! Easy to find the place and although we don’t eat there the food looked great!

Relaxed, friendly and classy. The duck leg starter, and mains of chicken breast with beetroot, and fish and chips were all cooked to perfection. As it was my birthday they gave me a card at the beginning and slate plate at the end covered with hand made treats and some fruit; a pleasant surprise and all very tasty.

As always, we were impressed with their food, service and soap (smells lovely!!). I try to go here at least 5 times a year, would love to go more but unfortunately my health isn’t particularly great. Always treated with respect when I have to sadly explain my dietary needs, never a problem for them though 😁 Looking forward to going again for my 2nd visit this year in a couple of weeks.

Excellent service but I feel foods could be more yummy. My fish was cooked nicely but it was a smallest size as I remember.

My beautiful lady (Eloise) and I occasionally go to the Black Horse as a nice treat away from our young boys and are always happy with the quality and service we receive. Recently I've come to realise how special she is to me and how much I love her (I know - very soppy). Being a ruffty-tuffty bloke I had been taking her for granted a bit and decided it was way beyond time I asked her to tie the knot. So, The Black Horse seemed like the obvious choice of venue for the proposal. I spoke to Darren about my intentions and between us we hatched a plan for the 'event' which included bringing out a vase of flowers, knocking my wallet on the floor (what better way to get on one knee ;o) and filming the moment. Darren and his team worked like a well oiled machine and made the plan come together absolutely seamlessly - it couldn't have worked out better! The feeling of energy and atmosphere that errupted around the restaurant when she said yes will live with us both forever. Darren and the whole team (front and back of house) we'd like to extend a massive thanks your way for what was such a fantastic evening. I can't recommend The Black Horse highly enough, although I can't comment on the rooms (which are supposed to be fabulous) as we haven't used them. BOOK A TABLE FOR YOU AND YOUR SPECIAL OTHER RIGHT NOW!!!

Woukd be nice not to have music playing from speakers ....I'm sure no one would notice if no musical as people relaxing and chatting. Like the different areas ...we asked for quiet area and chatted to other couples in our area. Staff very accommodating. Family with 4 children left ladies loo in a mess ....shame as classy and expensive place. Would highly recommend though.
