Just had lunch here with a girlfriend today &couldn’t fault the staff, service or the food. The staff were very welcoming & came up with several vegan meal options which weren’t on the menu. We will definitely be going back!
Just had breakfast there. Service was great. Food was great. Totally recommend the place and will definitely revisit.
We come here probably once a month. As always food lovely, recommend the fish platter to share as a starter. fab service by both the bar tender when we walked in, we hadn't booked and our waiter. Always love it here
Last night we went for a meal at the Black Horse. From the minute we arrived the staff were so friendly. The food was delicious and my partner and I both thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I would recommend to friends 😀
Excellent service and fantastic food. The best roast dinner I have ever had. The beef was of high quality and very tasty Yorkshire puddings. Their brownies are also to die for.
Another lovely Sunday lunch at the Black Horse. Good quality ingredients and good size portions.
Always a great atmosphere and friendly service, even when they are busy. Would highly recommend.
Lovely asparagus,poached egg and smoked salmon starters we only wanted something light . I had a glass of Pinot and my friend a Peroni beer , good service lovely staff and location sitting outside .
We visited there for a family birthday dinner on the 3rd August. I cannot fault the food, atmosphere or friendliness! Generous portions and the most perfectly cooked steak I have ever had! The flavour and presentation of the food was a constant perfect! Thank you for helping to make my Mum in Laws birthday special! We will be back!
My husband and I had the set Valentines menu last night, gorgeous food, lovely atmosphere and friendly helpful staff, overall it was a great dining experience.
For a Special Occasion. The Black Horse in Ireland (sister to The Birch in Woburn) is great for a special meal or occasion. Visited for my wife's birthday, the food and wine selection were very good.
Lovely pub/restaurant in the heart of Woburn. Great welcome and service always. Food good too!
Nearly 5 star - I recently was in Milton Keynes with some friends and decided to head out of town to grab Sunday dinner.
The property is beautiful giving you a real “countryside” feel. There seemed to be plenty of staff and not many customers. So we were looking forward to a steady service.
Sadly the service was rather lack lustre, all staff were very polite but seemed to be very distracted which was a shame.
It did allow myself and friends to have a good catch up, plus the food was excellent!
Had a really yummy meal with great food choices! Will be going back for sure
Nipped in for a quick nibble and a drink after walking around the town/gardens. The staff were top rate, friendly, professional and attentive. The food was hearty and reasonably priced. The ale selection was good and the bar looked well stocked for a whole range of drinks. Definitely worth a visit.
Met a friend for lunch there today. Staff were lovely and friendly. Have to thank the waitress with the blue hair for recommending the chunky chips! My Caesar salad was the best I have had in years and my friend adored her crab salad. Thanks too to the staff for making me an iced latte in the scorching heat. They were all polite and lovely and left us to get on with our chat with no pressure to leave. Just wish I didn't live eighty miles away!
I love visiting The Black Horse and am constantly impressed with their high quality of food. My first visit, I went in expecting a normal old British pub with some good grub. I couldn't have been more wrong. The Black Horse is beautiful, offering a fabulous classy experience. It is gorgeously decorated, has such a warm group of staff and food that will exceed expectations.
Fast service and reasonable prices.
Always a good selection of keg beers and small bites menu.
This place was recommended to us and did not disappoint. 6 of us had dinner here the night before my wedding, every one of us really enjoyed our food and the staff overheard my table talking about my wedding and they brought out a special dessert for me. It was such a nice touch!

Been going here for many years but the food has never been better.
All of the staff were friendly and polite on my last visit (Sunday 5.6.21) and the food was ridiculously good.
i had Asparagus with poached egg to start. ALMOST perfect, as the spears were cooked to perfection, the Béarnaise was spot on, but the egg was just ever so slightly 'snotty', literally (i don't use that word often or willy-nilly) needing 10 more seconds 'in the bath'.
A delight.
The Roast Pork Sunday roast with all the trimmings was...
Exceptional.
The pork juicy and tender, the roasties crispy outside but fluffy inside, the Cauliflower Cheese a triumph and the home-made pork stuffing patties possibly (probably) the finest i've ever eaten.
Not being a regular meat eater (BUT i'M NOT A VEGETARIAN 😡 - that's for those who feel the obsessive need to label everyone/everything!!) i thought i'd treat myself today and i dont regret it for a moment.
If only all meat were as locally sourced and of such high quality as this, i'm sure i'd be more inclined to eat it more regularly.
The pork crackling was some of the best you will find anywhere with just enough crispiness balanced with a salty melt in the mouth flavour of the fat..
Just Wow.
The pudding was equally sensational, a chocolate fondant cake with melted middle and a dollop of honeycomb ice-cream (a recommendation by one of the lovely staff) finished it all off to perfection.
The meal was not cheap but everything was so good (including the drinks, the service etc.) that, as a special treat, it will be hard to beat.
Long may this continue.
Thoroughly recommended.
8/10
UPDATE 19.6.22
Almost a year since my initial review and just had to add that when the great CHARLOTTE is managing the pub it runs at it's best.
Had a couple of underwhelming feeds in the time since my first review which i resisted updating because i felt it fair to give them a chance to improve - everyone has a bad day, or two, right?..
When Charlotte is running the show i feel the place runs as smoothly as it ever has.
Made us feel extremely content and comfortable on a friends birthday today for which i wanted to say Thank You.
The food was amazing here! We had a fantastic meal with my family and they booked us in at late notice on a bank holiday. They catered for our 6 year old amazingly and she loved the food. We especially loved the salmon starter and the scallops! Thank you so much, and we will definitely be back!
Lovely beef roast dinner will be back again
Food was amazing from start to finish, lovely choices and would highly recommend. I had the duck and my wife had the schnitzel was. Mini sausages for starters and then crème brulee for dessert. If you have never been worth going, also nice little village area in Woburn.
Following my last review, I was invited back to the restaurant. The choice of food and the concerns I raised were taken on board. It’s nice to see that black horse recognises the importance of customer feedback. Lovely time and will be returning
Friendly and efficient staff, a good dining atmosphere with comfy seating, free parking a very short walk away in a picturesque village location, but most important of all, the food tasted amazing. I shall be dining here again in future!

Good beer and nice coffee, nice touch little bow of smarties with coffee!. Gent's toilets all good and clean, but could do with a refresh /makeover.

Didn't take pics of our food..it was a birthday dinner! But this is one of those gems that people brag about finding and MANY lesser establishments pretend to be. The real thing.. a gastronomic delight! Seriously good, unpretentious and while at the upper end price wise, is astonishing value for money. Also has proper veggie, vegan and gluten free options that are not tokenism but read tasty enough to tempt a carnivore! I had a pork chop that was served on a totally awesome compote of butter beans, bacon and courgette that was creamy and a bit reminiscent of stroganoff! And had crackling frags on top! MeJulie had a steak and ale pie, her chum a Dover Sole. It was delicious. I had the three cheese selection for afterwards. British and damn high quality, they were truly excellent. Julie was not as impressed by the rhubarb trifle...and after finishing it for her(!) both felt it needed a tangy something and was a bit bland.
Katie who served us, was a star and clearly cares about and is proud of the establishment she works for.
Just gorgeous food and lovely atmosphere. If you are not going out as much, THIS place is worthy of your new austerity entertainment budget! Loved it
