AA 5 Star rated Inn and 2 Rosette Restaurant

Whether you live round the corner or you’ve travelled miles to find us, The Black Horse Inn offers everything you could want from a village pub in the North Yorkshire countryside – a warm welcome, a gorgeous building with bags of character, top quality food and drink, lovely rooms for an overnight stay, and a real community feel.

We believe a good pub should ‘think local’, and whether that’s by serving the community - hosting the village darts competition for example – or by serving up the very best in local produce, that’s what we aim to do.

Both at our bar and in our restaurant, our food showcases the abundance of great ingredients available almost on our doorstep. Nowhere more so than with our popular Speciality Boards – wooden blocks topped with a selection of the very best local produce, from house-cured salmon to fine British cheeses, or even our homemade scotch eggs.

The food showcases the abundance of great ingredients available and with the appointment of Adrian Knowles as Head Chef at the restaurant, your appetite is sure to be persuaded. Adrian was previously Head Chef at the famous Black Bull Inn and Sous Chef at the Crab & Lobster.

Taking a confident approach to classic British dishes the team create wonderfully rustic dishes that are just as big on finesse as they are on flavour.

And because of our prices, you won’t have to empty your wallet just to fill your belly.

"Only open a few years, the Black Horse has quickly become a favourite among visitors to North Yorkshire. After a day lost in the wilds of the rugged local beauty, head home to one of the Black Horse's inviting rooms - each is a different design, the Shergar even has its own private garden"
