Lovers of traditional English home cooking will not be disappointed when visiting the Black Horse. Situated on the outskirts of Battle on a main road, it would be easy to drive straight by but a stop is more than worthwhile.

Once inside, the friendly welcome and good food make this a special place. Extreme pride is taken providing a tasty range of English classics and is renowned for homemade pies, liver and bacon, roasts and puddings.

Very much a community pub, the Black Horse has a lot to offer in terms of entertainment – a skittle alley, function room for parties, buffets and wedding receptions, and a petanque court complete with petanque team. It also has its own darts team, two quiz teams and is a popular refreshment stop for walkers. The pub has ample parking, is family friendly and welcomes dogs.
