The Black Horse

You'll find The Black Horse tucked away on Dedworth Road, the kind of place that doesn't need to shout about itself because the regulars keep coming back. Walk in and you're met with that particular warmth of a neighbourhood pub that's been doing its thing for years—dark wood, genuine conversation at the bar, and the sort of atmosphere where your drink arrives exactly how you like it because they remember. The beer list takes itself seriously without being pretentious, and the food sidesteps the standard pub fare trap. It's the sort of place you discover and then wonder how you ever lived without it.
