Searching for a good pub within half an hour of home I came across The Black River Inn and made a late Sunday lunch booking. It?s a lovely old building with a relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff. The best part was the food which was excellent. We had the three meats roast with a huge selection of veg. Each meat was cooked beautifully on their open fire which gave the succulent chicken especially a lovely smoked taste. I think there were around 10 veg on the sharing board, and I don?t exaggerate in saying they were all perfectly cooked, which is a real accomplishment! Highly recommend. I?ll be back there soon.

The food is excellent, there was a great selection of dishes and all of our group enjoyed lunch. Really fair prices for the dishes too.

Food was excellent with roasts all round, the only complaint from a couple of the 9 of us was that the smoked broccoli was like an ashtray, having said that the rest of us thought it was good. Prices were very

Outstanding food and a wide selection of spirits and things on tap. The staff are always exceptional and friendly. I highly recommend checking out their themed nights as the food is truly on another level.Price wise, the food is worth every penny and drinks are reasonable.10/10 go if you're in the area!Vegetarian options: Always a selection of vegan and vegetarian options on the menu.

We recently had a fantastic Sunday lunch here and when the we saw they were doing a steak night we quickly booked a table. The flame cooked steak was amazing, so tender and delicious! It was huge, and the morcilla sausage was a taste sensation. It?s been a long time since i have had a steak as good as this! That and the crab Welsh rarebit made it a great foodie evening. We look forward to coming back soon.

This was my first experience of tapas, and I can honestly say that I was not disappointed it was amazing. I was with a group who normally ordered from a fixed menu in advance. The host was very happy to extend the full menu to us to order on arrival. The service was prompt. The staff were very friendly, we felt at home.

After reading all the reviews I pick this pub for a special birthday surprise but I am so so disappointed with it when we arrived the pub was empty we ordered our drinks and taken to our table as we had arrived a little early we sat and waited before we ordered to be told the shef could not take it because there was a party of six coming. eventually we did order our food and sat for about twenty minutes. It finally arrived apart from our fries which tuned up twenty five minutes later after that we payed and left so I would not recommend.

What a boon to our village is the Black River Inn. Chef Pallatt is a magician with food and Gill Pallatt is the perfect host and manages her restaurant, bar and team with flair, style and a smile. I have never had anything but amazing food at the BRI but last night?s eating experience was exceptional. Thank you Gill and Alex for raising me to new heights of enjoyment and eating satisfaction.

It's no surprise it has great reviews. The concept and food choice and quality is a real winner. I think we had 7 different dishes from sirloin steak to soft shell crab, tuscan sausage, cray fish, chicken of the woods to name a few.... it's been a long time since we have had such an enjoyable experience, in fact I can't remember...but will certainly remember this one.And to think, due to the parking being a bit tight/limited (we were in the campervan) we nearly gave up, if it wasn't for the local chimney sweep man (thank you!) coming out & moving his van !We could have miss out !
