The Black Horse

The Black Horse is a pub on Blackhorse Lane in Potters Bar that keeps things grounded and unfussy. It’s the sort of place people describe as a little off the beaten track, but still easy enough to find, with a setting that suits a drink, a meal or a meeting with friends. Food is a clear part of the appeal here, with customers mentioning generous portions and well-cooked pub dishes such as burgers and sandwiches. There’s also a good choice of beers, while the pub’s live sport screens, outdoor seating and dogs-welcome policy give it a broader day-to-day appeal. It’s family-friendly too, and works well for groups, with bookings taken if you’re planning ahead. Free parking is available, which makes visiting simpler if you’re driving in from elsewhere in Hertfordshire. For anyone after a pub that can handle an evening meal as readily as a match day pint, The Black Horse is worth keeping in mind.
