Private hire
Book the pub.
Use The Black Horse for birthdays, wakes, work parties, fundraisers, quizzes, club meetings and music nights.
Beer garden
Outside space.
A useful garden for sunny afternoons, match-day overspill and private functions. It is one of the pub’s strongest selling points, so the site now gives it proper space.
