If you were to picture a quintessentially British pub, it would probably look a little something like The Black Horse. Nestled away in the village of Rampton, this cosy spot is perfect for getting comfortable, tucking into some flavour packed dishes, and unwinding with a glass of your favourite tipple. Beyond the ivy covered exterior, is a pared-back setting with pastel pink walls and a healthy dose of country cottage chic.
However, The Black Horse veers away from traditional style when it comes to the menu, swapping in the likes of hearty British classics for Mediterranean tapas plates. Rather than going for the standard starters, mains and desserts, it makes for the ideal spot to share with friends and family. Whilst the menu changes regularly, you can expect to find options such as calamari with paprika aioli, meatballs al forno, and butternut squash with feta and romesco. It’s not just the food menu that is rotating though, with cask ales from independent breweries frequently changing too.
Throughout the day, there’s some locally roasted coffee, specialty teas and homemade cakes also on offer, so if you just fancied stopping by for an afternoon treat then there’s no better place than inside this cosy village pub.
Of course when the weather permits, there is also a beer garden to the rear where you can soak up the English countryside, whilst tucking into everything The Black Horse has to offer.
Whether you’re catching up with friends, heading out for date night, or getting together with family, The Black Horse lends itself to any occasion with its cosy interiors, and relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. It’s also worth noting that everyone is welcome here, including the little ones, and even any four legged members of the family.
