The Black Horse

This is probably my local although I'm not a regular but when I do go it is always a pleasure (I'm not much of a drinker/pub goer these days). Staff really friendly, food decent pub fare especially the pies. Good choice of beer...it is a CAMRA pub after all. Fantastic beer garden for warmer days and excellent for sport particularly the rugby as it is very much a rugby pub. Would suggest booking if you want a table on a 6 nations weekend. Can get busy when the sport is on as only a small, old and traditional pub so my advice is get there early if you haven't reserved a spot. Understand there is a private room upstairs not that I've been in there.

What a fab night thank you The Black Horse for a lovely 2 course meal plus catering for the England match in the hide away venue room up stairs. Think we might have been a bit roudy what with the other quiet lads on the separate party table. Plus pinning the ring on the donkey game. Staff were fab and food was very yummy - nice large portion of good pub grub at affordable prices. Would highly recommend as good ales etc cheers Roz and the Enfield gang

Great pub, and the only one in the Hertford/ Ware area where you can guarentee rugby will be on (it does class itself as a rugby pub). The main pub has a quaint, traditional feel (exposed beams/ traditional pub tables and bar etc) and then there is an extension out the back which has a newer, more modern feel. Garden area is also nice during the summer. Good selection of ales on offer and the food is nice (although in fairness i have only ever had the black horse burger, which i go for every time im there). Keep wanting to try the homemade game pie which looks great but ive bottled it everytime to stick with what i know :)

Thankfully I didn't read any of the worrying reviews about the burgers (read them just after I ordered) because mine was delicious. I just went for the basic burger with cheese. It came with chunky chips, coleslaw and a side salad. Salad was fresh, and the burger was cooked medium to well and not too thick. My partner had an omelette, also well cooked. Perhaps they've acquired new cooks? The young waiting staff were attentive and cheerful, even though perhaps just learning on the job.
