The Black Horse

The Black Horse is a fabulous local village pub. Andy, Tracy and staff are brilliant, helpful and friendly. The food is fantastic - well worth the effort to call in for a pint & bite to eat.

Called in on Sunday for dinner on way to Southport Bar lady never spoke except to say how much order was, ordered two Sunday roast a chicken strips on bed of salad. On receiving the chicken I instantly noticed a slug climbing up the inside of the dish, I told the male server who said would you like me to remove it “I sad yes my partner not going to eat that if she sees it “ he just got a tissue and wiped it off the dish. No apology or offer to change. Safe to say we were all put off our meal and will not be returning.

Lovely pub lovely setting nice staff and a few nice cask beers. Plus dog friendly. Ordered 2 roasts must say not the best. I think the beef was stewing steak tasty though but veg was a let down. My wife had chicken which was dry and a tad tough! Roast pots had a taste of boiled and then dropped into a deep fat fryer on order and were a bit hard. The veg was very aldenti to the point of the parsnip being told about steam but never coming in contact. Plus carrot had an eye poor quality control. Plus it was the only carrot. Overall it was disappointing but we would visit again

Nice little pub, didn't try the food but have been told it is definitely worth the price, will have to try next time

Great venue for a bowling picnic, superb green, we were looked after throughout the day by all the staff. Great food and good selection of beers. Can't recommend highly enough.

We were just driving through Croston and decided to stop at this pub, and we are glad that we did. Staff were really friendly and the food was delicious. Felt like a traditional country pub.

Played bowls and Won Nice selection of sandwiches after Nice Pint

Went to play bowls with a team, very welcoming, garden is lovely and very well cared for. Sandwiches provided where tasty and fresh would go as a couple for a meal.
