The Black Horse in Coalville

Ah, The Black Horse in Whitwick – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper local gem, you know? From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the staff are absolute stars, always greeting you with a smile and making sure your pint is poured just right. They've got this cracking selection of beers and ales that change up often, which is brilliant if you're someone who likes to try new things without breaking the bank. The outdoor space is a real highlight too; imagine kicking back in the gazebo on a summer evening with your dog in tow – it's just spot on for those relaxed get-togethers. And don't get me started on the events; whether it's catching the footy on the telly or enjoying some live music, there's always a bit of excitement in the air. On the flip side, it can sometimes come across as a tad cliquey, with the same faces in their usual spots, so if you're new to the area, it might take a minute to feel fully part of it. Plus, the food's mostly limited to simple cobs and snacks, which are decent but won't satisfy if you're after a proper sit-down meal. All in all, though, it's a solid choice for a pint and a chat – I'd say give it a go if you're in Coalville; you might just find your new favourite spot.
