Went here for our friends 50th on the Kylie tribute night! What a fantastic evening! From the moment you enter the establishment, you're greeted with a friendly, welcoming face! The staff are so attentive and knowledgeable about drinks and food! Talking of which , was...so tasty and fresh! Could not fault a single thing! Decor and cleanliness were spot on , entertainment was very professional and the place was rocking! Cocktails were nice too and a good choice to choose from! Will certainly be back , thankyou for a fabulous nightMore

Another lovely lunch with friends today, staff are warm and friendly . Service was excellent by the lovely Kim and the Chef cooks amazing food, curries and the linguini thoroughly recommend alongside the gorgeous black horse burger. I love the decor unlike earlier review personally...I think they need to go to specsavers…..More

Lovely friendly greeting and service with delicious food in beautiful setting!! We walked in and were given a warm welcome and we chose from the amazing gin selection at the bar ,we then wanted to sit in the garden …no problem, the older waitress showed...us to a garden table and was chatty and explained there was also an outside toilet and smoking area …..wow..what a lovely place to sit for a few hours !! All the servers were VERY friendly and we shared a few delicious things —-potted salmon / chicken Caesar and the BEST fries Such a great afternoon …can’t wait to returnMore

For a pub with ye olde in the name, I wasn’t expecting a seaside gift shop with a bar, but if you love white and blue, you might like it. Upon walking in the school maam ensured we obeyed the invisible rules before eventually serving...us. We had a drink and left before the icy atmosphere and beach hut chic soiled our eyeballs any further.More

Oh how we have missed you! Having moved from the area we were delighted to visit family in Rottingdean and luckily managed to secure a booking for Sunday lunch… So glad to see nothing had chamged and stamdards were as high on previous visits… Declan...welcomed us with a beaming smile and we feel he was genuinely happy to see us, we chatted briefly and the place was buzzing with people enjoying theor roast. We all enjoed the roasts, 2 Topside, 1 Lamb and 1 very succulent roast turkey, we were to full for desert as the portions were huge, all washed down with a decent bottle of Malbec… We wish other places wpuld have the same attention to detail as these chaps have. We are craving them to move to Chichester and re-create the same in our village there. The staff are on the ball, obviously very well trained!! Bravo. We look foreard to seeing you over the Christmas period to see your wonderful Christmas decorations . All the best Hilary & Pete.More

Without a doubt the best Sunday lunch I have had in a very long time! Potted Smoked Salmon and Chicken Pakora starters were to die for! The Sunday Roast was simply delicious. We opted to add cauliflower cheese and stuffing and all of it was...just divine! Our waiter was very attentive and the owner who chatted to us as we arrived was very welcoming. 10/10 will DEFINITELY be back!!More

Tasteless over-cooked crab cakes. Shocking .mushy unseasoned mixed vegetables with my steak and Guiness pie with a burnt crust. The waiting staff are children. Polite but inexpert. This place was recommended to us. I cannot understand whyMore

Excellent service and food. Can’t recommend this pub enough. A real gem. Great entertainment, fantastic tribute acts.

I cannot fault this lovely pub in any way what so ever … the owners and management go above and beyond to cater to all your needs! It’s not like any other “boozer” you don’t get the “rif raf” just walking in , you feel...safe and in a Luxury setting , what more could you ask for! The toilets are pristine and the garden area is beautiful . If you’re ever on the south coast be sure to visit !More

We wanted just to go somewhere for a drink in Rottingdean and chose Ye Olde Black Horse. We were welcomed and with some amazement shown into a bigger room near the Restaurant and then into the Fantasy realms of the garden where we took our...drinks and crisps. The waiting staff with the kind and helpful Megan found us a table in this lit tropical paradise garden with the sound of running water in its 2 waterfalls. What an incredible experience! Even the other guests were entertaining. The food sounded great so we had spicy Thai crab cakes which were delicious. With such hospitality and kind/able waiting staff, we`ll return soon.More

Went to the black horse today for a nice lunch and was served such a delicious array of food, Delicious, filling salad perfect for this weather, Was served by a lovely Australian Lady called Kim so make sure to look out for her when you...go in for some pub grub!!!!! 🤪🤪More

I visited this pub back in May 2023 with my family and was singularly unimpressed by the 'service', with the young male waiter seeming to rather rush us to order when we wanted simply to chat for a while. Yesterday I visited with a friend...and was again disappointed. The elderly manager, who appeared to be doing his accounts in the middle of the restaurant, was rude and unhelpful. I asked if the dim lights in one area could be replaced by brighter lighting so that I could sit with my friend to look at papers, pictures, etc. He snapped 'NO'! There were no menus on our table and when I asked for two, he threw three of them down onto the table with a very bad grace. Had it not been my friend's choice to visit the pub for his special birthday, I would have walked out there and then. I might add that the service by the waitress was pleasant and efficient. (On my previous visit, we were told that the delightful gardens of the back of the pub could not be used for the consumption of food, whereas on this occasion the gardens were very busy and many people were being served with food. The waitress explained that the 'rule'varied depending on different circumstances!).More
