Black Horse Inn Thorndon — Restaurant in Mid Suffolk

We visited this lovely pub in a group of six women whilst staying in a local property, and accessed it via a half hour walk along a long county road. Our food was delicious and all arrived swiftly and at the same time- vegan and gluten free options carefully catered for- and the service was super-friendly and attentive. We really had a lovely meal (huge portions too!) and would recommend the venue and staff alike. Upon leaving, when unable to book a cab for our return journey in the dark (despite trying the plentiful cab numbers proffered by the lovely staff) we were offered a lift home from the chef at the end of his shift!

Don’t come here for a roast there are at least 5 pubs within 10 minutes driving distance that charge less for...

First visit for Sunday lunch and won’t be back. Overpriced and prepackaged, frozen food. The vegetables were out of a freezer, the roast potatoes and stuffing balls were Aunt Bessie’s, and the roast beef was thinly cooked, prepackaged. The only freshly cooked ingredient was the Yorkshire pudding, which came out slightly burned. Neither of us could finish our meals. At £19.99 this was overpriced for a Sunday lunch that was at best mediocre, and more expensive than other places in the area such at the Dennington Queen, Dennington, and the Four Horseshoes, Thornham Magma, where the food is cooked fresh and much better quality at a lower price....
