Tonight my partner and I tried out the food at the newly opened Black Horse pub in Dry Drayton.
The Milton ale was excellent.
We were given a very pleasant welcome by the new team and a discreet table for two just off the main bar area. A good range of food was on offer – we went for the chicken and smoked haddock dishes, not quite knowing what to expect. The food was served promptly and was beautifully presented. It tasted as good as it looked, and both our dishes were full of flavour, perfectly cooked and absolutely first class. Portions were a good size for real cuisine, leaving us with room only to share a sweet. The creme brulee was served with fresh fruit and cream, again looking and tasting delicious.
The new team have clearly taken on an excellent chef. Our advice – visit soon. In a few weeks when word gets around about Dry Drayton having a gastropub and what is on offer here, you will only be able to get a table by booking up well in advance. We couldn’t recommend a better village pub for an evening meal. Brilliant.

we also had a fantastic flavoured, cooked, presented and well portioned meal at the black horse. The decor was subtle and suited the building. The atmosphere was warm and totally relaxed. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The comfy chairs in the bar area is a great idea. Outside area looked great. We cant recomend highly enough. We will definetly be going there regularly.

I took some friends down there for a lunchtime beer and food. I could have stopped there all afternoon. Will definitely be going there again.
