| Great news the Black Horse has re-opened as a Freehouse after Greene King sold it on the Market. hogshead - 17 Sep 2011 11:26 |
| Like an earlier comment, I have been wanting to try this pub for some years now. Managed to call in on Saturday lunchtime. Thankfully there were only about 6 or 7 Spurs fans in watching the football on a big screen. I didn't let them know I am a Gooner. Some say it is dirty inside, others not. There were dead flies and dust on various selves and the room looked tired and worn out. But hey - this is a proper old-fashioned public house. The staff are very friendly. The menu had all the basic meals at very good prices. My Sausage (3), egg and chips were very enjoyable. The sausages had an excellent taste and really good quality. I won't do my usual moaning of Greene King's lack of beer choice, because they did have their Olde Trip, which you do not see often around here. Not sure if the pub made much money from the Yid fans. One pint lasted them the entire match - tight so - and - so's. fugglehops - 26 Aug 2010 21:20 |
| In relation to the last few reviews I thought that I’d start by first mentioning that when I walked in the governor was polishing the pumps on the bar and who I think is his wife made me feel very welcome even though I was the only person in the pub at 22:00. It is Greene King, but there was a guest and I don’t really care as I was drinking Guinness and I was glad to find a pub in Hertford that didn’t have the McMullen mark stamped on it. I spotted a plasma screen that was off due to no worthwhile sport being shown on Sky and there is also a dartboard which I gleaned must be used regularly after spotting all of the events advertised on the A-board outside. I think that the management of this pub are hospitable and are making an effort, so if the blinkered few out there that can’t see past the Greene King badge were to open their eyes they may just enjoy this pub.

| Visited Sunday evening. A friendly welcome but on the whole a disappointment. IPA, Abbot and Old Trip on. Only tried the Old Trip which was acceptable. About a dozen locals in including a group playing poker in one corner. Overall impression is a pub which has seen better times. Hertfordshireboy - 8 Jul 2009 19:40 |
| I am a very frequent visitor to this pub and i am so shocked that people are saying some untrue stuff. I know that this pub isnt dirty as i know and have witnessed them cleaning it every morning without fail and then i see them cleaning the kitchen after every shift and the toilets are not smelly what so ever, they are a little cold but thats about it. I cant believe people are still saying bad things about this pub as it has picked up 1000% since the old tenants left you actually feel welcome when you walk in the put as the new tenants customer service is excellent. I recently went to a birthday party there and the buffet was amazing along with the beer and i was told by another customer that they clean the pipes on a regular basis not like the old tenants! Also the pubn has had a much needed lick of paint and the difference in the pub now they have also sorted out the garden which i am told dtill needs work done to it but to me it looks perfect. All i can say to the people writting the false stuff on here is you probably havent even been to this pub because if you had you wouldnt be writing this stuff unless its the old tenants doing it to try and be childish and stop people going in there and what a childish thing to do. Finally to all those that say you have to fight you way through the smokers standing out side the pub, you only have to say excuse me and we will all move! Also to those who say that the pub is always dead, well have you not noticed that we are going through a resession and people are saving and it cant be that dead all the time as they wouldnt be able to stay open as they wouldnt be able to pay the bills!
