About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for brunch
  • Kid-friendly
Welcome to the Black Horse, a wonderful pub in Perfick Pluckley.
This beautiful beamed country pub steeped in history was built in the 1470's as a dry moated farmhouse to the prominent Dering Family, with 5 log burning fires throughout the bar and restaurant. Ideally sited for the breathtaking walks around Pluckley and beyond. The pub is also well known for it's many ghosts, one of which being an invisible phantom who makes himself known by moving both glasses and possessions around the pub -which can go missing for days on end. Many customers have felt or seen the presence of a small child. This long history of happenings has been experienced by both the Landlady & landlord, and customers throughout the pubs rich history.
Responsibly farmed and locally sourced produce is used to make freshly cooked meals every day. You'll find a great range of dishes on our menus to suit all tastes and appetites.

    Booked online and the booking was accepted and I received an email confirming the booking, however, we drove 45 mins to get there and found it shut down. What a farce, not only on behalf of the Black Horse, but Opentable

    Phoned a couple of days before my booking to confirm to be told that they don't do food anymore. Showed up for just a drink to discover that the reason they don't serve food is because they've closed down. Which the guy neglected to mention on the phone. Pretty shoddy communication.

    As I was informed on the Monday before our booking that they would not be serving food until December we did not actually dine at the Black Horse. I suggest you update your info.

    They closed the restaurant and did not have the decency to call us and tell us which would have saved us doing a 40 mile round trip.

    We loved this place, the history, the look,the bartender/waiter, the food, the area. Travelers, this is a must stop, you will not be dissatisfied if we were locals I’d be here all the time. My husband had a plate with at least 4 different meats, a carnivore’s delight and I had a very nice Ribeye steak. Normally I do not order steak in the UK due to the differences in cooking styles, this steak was thick cut, tender, flavorful and juicy, not what I would generally get in the UK. We had sparkling and red wine as well as coffee/tea and a terrific apple winter berry crumble. Ended the evening with an old local telling tales of the area. This is a must see if you’re into history and home style food.

    As above everything was excellent. However it could have been a disaster. When we arrived there was no table reserved so the Open Table involvement failed. Fortunately the restaurant was not busy so a table was soon available. Would NOT TRUSTOpen Table again, book direct with the venue.
