The Black Horse - Pluckley

As I was informed on the Monday before our booking that they would not be serving food until December we did not actually dine at the Black Horse. I suggest you update your info.

My wife and I went to lunch and we were blown away. I had the scallops and I escaped the two 10/10. the house front is led by the man and the woman who both like to have a chat. will be visited again (and again)

Lovely pub in the centre of the village. The food is always superb, manageress is very accommodating. Staff attentive but not fussy. If you stop in for a pint or 3 course meal you won 't be disappointed. Gorgeous garden to sit in or cosy updated pub feel to welcome you inside and also with ample parking. Thank you the black horse !

Taken to the Black Horse for lunch by my parents-in-law. It was made clear from the outset that it wasn't the sort of place where kids can expect different food, or can run and play in the garden amongst the other clientele. Our kids at 12 and 9 years oldwere made very welcome as were the rest of us and we had a lovely meal. The highlights were the all day breakfast starter and my son is insistent that I write that his sirloin steak was excellent too. However all the food was good, the staff attentive and friendly. Cant fault it and will be back. I hope they do very well.

Most enjoyable meal we have had in a long time! We saw the black horse on instagram and decided to check it out. The new owners have really made this pub into a 'destination ' pub. There 's a relaxed, up-market vibe to the place and the food is outstanding! The owners are up front of house and they are friendly and tentative. We were out for a family meal but we both have said can 't wait to go back and have a proper date night! It 's 'posh nosh ' without the stiff, formal atmosphere that often accompanies this kind of dining (having said this, you could easily dress up and go for a date and not feel out of place) We had the crab, the carpaccio and the scallops- all utterly delicious! Followed by the duck and the hake. My duck was perfectly cooked. Everything is beautifully displayed on the plate and the flavours and textures are perfect. If your thinking of going- I can 't recommend enough that you do. I 'm thrilled to have this fine dining gem of a pub practically on our doorstep. Looking forward to coming back later in the month.
