About The Black Horse

Sunday lunch here is the thing to plan around — the roast has a real reputation locally, with generous portions and meat that gets singled out again and again, though one family found the trimmings underseasoned and the gravy thin, so it's not flawless. The building itself does a lot of the work: open fires, fairy lights, rustic corners and what one visitor called "a warm hubub" even early on a weekday evening. Children's puzzles appear at tables, which buys you a peaceful twenty minutes with a toddler, and there are high chairs, a kids' menu and buggy access through. Staff are patient with people arriving frazzled and hungry. Free parking is a genuine relief in Norwich. Beyond the roast, the veggie pie of the week, ale-battered banana blossom and garlic mushrooms all get praise, and there's outdoor seating for warmer days.
