We went to the Black Horse for Mothers Day Lunch. The cost was almost identical to a visit a week previously to a Michelin starred restaurant in North Yorkshire. The food and service however would not have disgraced a Fawlty Towers episode. We were brought bread rolls after 20 mins with the exclamation "brown or white - oh! the white ones are in the kitchen so it's brown. Gosh these are small today, who wants one!". We had to ask for the wine list. When the meals arrived it was evident that the gravy was out of a packet and the vegetables were tasteless. I had Lamb which could just as easily have been Beef. Those eating Beef were not given a choice of how they wished it cooked and it came very well done. To top it all my son was quite sick after the meal - thanks to the spicy prawn he had as a starter. When we mentioned to the owner that we were not happy with the meal his only response was "I haven't had any other complaints". If you are looking for 70's roadside food, served indifferently at top prices then this restaurant is for you. Otherwise steer clear

Visited The Black Horse Elleker yesterday for the first time. The food and service was excellent, well worth a visit. Will be visiting again.
