About This Pub
You know, when I popped into The Black Horse Eastcote, it really hit the spot with its welcoming atmosphere in that beautiful old building – it's got all the hallmarks of a proper traditional pub where you can settle in for a good chat. The staff stand out as absolute gems, always on hand to help, whether it's recommending a drink or fixing a seating issue, and from the reviews, it seems like the food and beers are fresh and full of flavour, with plenty of events to keep things buzzing. On the downside, it does get crowded at times, so you might end up queuing for drinks longer than you'd like, and if you're hoping for top-notch cocktails, it might not quite deliver every time, or the space could feel a bit tight for bigger gatherings. All in all, it's a solid choice for a laid-back evening or a catch-up, but it's worth going in with realistic expectations to make the most of it.
Pros and Cons
Pros
-
The staff are incredibly friendly and always go the extra mile to make sure you're having a great time, just like in those reviews where they sorted out issues on the spot.
-
It's got that classic historic charm with a grade II listed building, full of cosy nooks and a real community feel that's perfect for catching up with mates over a pint.
-
They've got a cracking selection of drinks, including fresh local ales and plenty of options for non-alcoholic choices, plus the food sounds fresh and tasty based on what folks have said.
-
There's a lively vibe with events like live bands, sports nights, and even poker, making it a fun spot for a night out or a relaxed afternoon.
Cons
-
It can get pretty busy, especially on evenings or for events, which means waits at the bar might drag on a bit with only a couple of staff serving.
-
Some seating areas feel a tad cramped, particularly if you're in a larger group, as one reviewer mentioned with their table setup.
-
Cocktails aren't always spot on – a few people noted they were underwhelming or not available as expected, which is a shame if that's what you're after.

Hi All, myself and my friends had an amazing time yesterday afternoon and night, Pinkies staff were very accommodating and couldn’t do enough for us. The food and atmosphere was great. I suffer with chronic IBS but could tell the food was fresh and no problems today. Thanks again I highly recommend and will visit again. All the Best Gonzo x
I went to the Black horse as I saw online they had a happy hour where their cocktails were slightly cheaper. It was a friday night and very busy in the pub. They only had 2 people working behind the bar, so there was a bit of a wait for drinks. When I chose the drink, I wanted 'aperol spritz'. I was told they had run out on tap and didn't have the ingredients to make it themselves. After looking some more, I chose porn star Martini. That was also on tap, but luckily, they hadn't run out. I got 2 of them on the deal. They were fine for an on tap cocktail but very small glasses, so I did not feel I was getting a good deal. The bar tender said the deal was either 2 small ones or one large one for the same price. So I got the two small ones. There was no prosecco with the porn star Martins. I had those drinks, then left to go somewhere else with a better deal. The pub was fine, service was slow but the two bar staff were frienly. The toilets were clean but could do with a makeover as they were old fashioned. As we only stayed for our first drink. So I didn't get to try the food. Although I have heard the food is good, the slow service and them not having the drink I wanted didn't make me feel like staying for food. Overall, it was fine for a local pub.
Came here for the Company Christmas bash .
Excellent food outside , service was “ nothing is too much trouble “ Dhruv was an excellent host , along with the entire crew.
Lots of Beers and Spirits available and non Alcoholic beers .
Service was fast in the bar , considering how busy it was . Friendly atmosphere, and we had good craic with the locals too !
Booked Koroga night for boys.. it was a great service and very helpful staff..nice private area was arranged for us to have good food and enjoy our koroga. Owner of Black horse just popped in to ask if everything was OK... that shows they care for their customers and provide them with best service so they have returning customers. Didn't have enough time for us to enjoy out doors due to local residents around there .. but they arranged for a table for us inside.. that was good. Live music was too loud, bar staff couldn't hear what we wanted to order. That can come down a notch or 2. Other than that it was great experience at black horse Northwood hills. I would recommend this place for sure ... Will visit here soon again.
Had planned to try an Indian pub/restaurant that was dog friendly with parking this ticked the boxes. We had reserved table for 7 but the sitting wasn’t really planned well with sort of a stool for 7th person, too cramped but was soon adjusted upon mentioning of it.
The cocktails were non existent, beer was on the tap.
Papadums could be introduced on the house with the chutneys.
We ordered quite a few starters and they all were good.
Where it fell short was the main course the quantity was not doing justice to the price tag. Taste was decent little too saucy for the gravy.
Karaoke is a good idea but the place is small and it was way too loud!
An after meal sweet or something was missing.
Parking is first come first served.
Overall good except the few points specific above and will not hesitate to visit again.
