The Black Horse - Test Valley

West Tytherley is deep in the Hampshire countryside. Whichever way you come, it's a picturesque drive. From the outside, The Black Horse looks as if it's going to be a very posh venue. However, inside it's a proper old English country pub. We were greeted warmly by the landlady. It was a very hot day and she suggested eating under the gazebo in the courtyard. The menu was nice. We had the Steak Ale Pie, Mushroom Stroganoff, Hickory Chicken and Chicken Fajitas. All of them were very nicely cooked and prepared by the landlady. It was real home-cooking. We all had Apple Blackberry Crumble to finish and it was also deliciously home-made. We were made to feel extremely welcome and really enjoyed our visit. We look forward to going again.

Excellent service, food and the locals are super welcoming!

Good traditional pub. Fine ales and good food. Good garden eating area too.

The landlady went above and beyond to make our group feel welcome in this homely pub ... she even offered to do four shuttle trips to take us all back to the accommodation we were staying at for the weekend, as she was concerned about the foggy conditions for our walk back.

Incredible all over , can not fault this place and the lady that owns it is extremely hard working ! Plus the dog Tilly is the best we came across it after doing a local Geocaching loop! I read a review stating that the building was a little tired in which I had to laugh the building is over 400 years old Personally I thought the building was beautiful and very well maintained , they even have the added bonus of a skittle alley out the back. Definitely worth a visit if in the area!
