About us

Established in 1817, we are a Traditional Local Free House selling quality Ales, Fine Wines, Lagers & locally sourced food. The Black Horse is not only a great watering hole, but home to the Black Horse Bakery, Black Horse Rugby Club, Hartham Commoners and Black Horse Golf Society. We welcome families, ramblers, cyclist and dogs, also anyone who fancies some friendly faces on arrival. We also boast to having one of the largest beer gardens in Hertford with a separate children’s area so you can relax in the knowledge they are safe.

We cater for social functions, corporate lunches, weddings, anniversaries, holy communions, confirmations, christenings, and sports events.

We are open all day, offer Free WiFi and have the best home made Pies & Burgers around. Our Kitchen is open from 12.00pm to 3.00pm and 5.00pm to 8.00pm Monday to Friday, weekend meals are available all day. Don’t forget our wonderful Sunday Roast, Game nights and Summer Grill.
