3-star country pub with exceptional dining in the Lincolnshire Wolds

Dining

The Black Horse Inn offers a menu that changes daily based on fresh, locally sourced ingredients, with chef-owner Adam preparing dishes like steak and ale pie and slow roast belly pork. Guests choose from a specials board and main menu that includes options such as monkfish, pheasant, and slow-cooked brisket, all cooked to order. Three real ales and a gin selection are available at the bar, alongside low-alcohol beer options for non-drinkers.

Rooms

Guest rooms include king, twin, triple, and family rooms, each fitted with a flat-screen TV, kettle, and built-in USB and USB-C charge points in the bedside lamps. Bathrooms provide a powerful shower with plenty of hot water, and rooms offer excellent wardrobe space. Some rooms are accessed via an external metal stair from the beer garden, while ground-floor rooms are available for those avoiding stairs.

Activities & Entertainment

A games room with a snooker table and a darts board is available for guests in the bar area. The inn sits in the Lincolnshire Wolds, offering traffic-free lanes for cycling and direct access to countryside walks. Outdoor furniture is provided in the garden and beer garden area.

Humberside Airport is 33 km away, Lincoln University is 35 km away, and Skegness Butlins is 47 km away. The village provides safe, traffic-free walking routes and is not Sat Nav-friendly, so guests should check the route beforehand.

Dogs are allowed in the bar area and receive a welcome treat upon arrival. Family rooms and a large free car park with accessible parking spaces are available for guests traveling with children or groups.
