Black Horse Gt Lindford Reviews Summary

Food Quality

Pros:

• "The actual burger in the bun was the best burger I've had, you could taste everything in the burger with every bite."

• "Would definitely recommend a visit here if you're looking for traditional home cooked food that is really good quality."

• "For the price the quality of the food was below an acceptable standard."
• "Vegetarian lunch option sounded great but lacked flavour and texture was stodgy."
• "The burrata had an acidic sauce all over which was horrible."
• "The pavlova (mini desert) there was absolutely no (NONE AT ALL) meringue (pavlova base) in the serving - my wife who loves pavlova was very disappointed!"

Cons:

Ambiance and Location

Pros:

• "Lovely atmosphere, we sat outside on the deck by the canal, but they have a lovely building and nice seating inside too."

• "Amazing location and seating for indoors and outdoors."
• "Fantastic location adds a value and outdoor settings are great as well."

Cons:

• "Not a bad location but otherwise not very impressed. Decor a bit tired."
• "Another fine example of how this chain of pubs buys up beautiful property and turns them into weirdly non inviting (often expensive) establishments that definitely aren’t pubs."
• "The current decor is very tired and in need of a make over, it is looking quite run down."
• "As it's an old building the dining room inside was a bit cramped, and the setting is hampered slightly by the main road bridge curving round outside."
• "The only downside is if you just want a drink, seating is limited around the entrance and bar area."
• "One major drawback for me was the inability to stand at the bar."
• "The table we were seated at was located in between 3 other tables occupied by larger groups, which put us right in the middle of the noise."
