Introduction

Now appearing in THE GOOD PUB GUIDE 2012!

Just a hop, skip and a jump from Central London, The Black Horse lies at the heart of Fulmer, a delightful conservation village hidden in a valley between Gerrards Cross and Slough. Extended over the years from early 17th century cottages, which housed local craftsmen building the Church of St James next door, the main building is a warren of small rooms, which have altered little over the years.

A proper village community pub, The Black Horse covers all bases with hand-pulled beers, an eclectic European wine list, some great chat and earthy ‘British Colonial’ style food. The pub is warm, cosy and filled with antique furniture and pictures from local salerooms at Amersham and Tring, all set off with rich Zoffany fabrics and heritage colours. The large garden and peaceful terrace (we have very quiet neighbours!) is perfect for a few glasses on a lazy summer’s day.

You’ll find the same scrumptious food in both the bars and the dining room, hidden out back. Serving local pork and lamb from Coleshill and game from around Marlow, we really care about the provenance of our food. You’ll even find the chefs out foraging, from when the first wild garlic comes into season to the tail-end of Autumn. Classics and twists abound on the menu; this is the kind of food you'd wish your mother had made. Old English faves rescued from their graves and brought to life with skill and imagination.

All of which would be meaningless without our Staff. A lovely mixed bunch, coming in all shapes and sizes, they share one thing in common – a genuine warmth and instinctive hospitality, which makes all our customers (both old and new) feel quite at home. Expect to be looked after, just as if you’d popped round to theirs for a lazy Sunday lunch.
