The Black Horse and Hoodens, Borough Green

Alison Pilkington no longer runs this pub, leaving in April 2013 when a new management took over. The unusual range of beers do not seem to be available.

Good beer here. However the landlord was serving pints with big heads and argued when my friend asked to top up his beer. Eventually he managed to put an extra mm of beer in when I insisted it was topped up. He gave short pints the next two rounds we ordered and only topped up slightly when we complained. I will try to avoid this pub in future despite the good beer. He mouthed swear words at me and is one of the most miserable landlords I have ever seen. Probably because Harveys want him to get 80 pints out of a 72 pint cask. A friend of mine remarked that his beer was watery. He over heard and tried to teach her what flavour was. Another friend was telling others where they were going to hear a band the following week at aq different venue. The landlord overheard and told him he would have to leave if he advertised other pubs in his pub!!
