Yesterday we went to a walk with my wife and we found this pub on way. Very next to the canal, where many people walking. We wanted to get a pint just like anytime in any pub but here you can't be served at the bar, you need to get a card with QR code from the stuff then sit to the table and order and pay by phone. No option to pay by cash or card. We had no phones because we did not take our phones to walk. They refused to any other way for service. My personal opinion, this pub is definitely not a 5 Michelin stars pub, where dress code enter only in suit and the golden American express accepted only. It's a completely pointless and unwanted rule on their side. The staff also inflexible and not helpful. This was the second time when we tried this pub, the first was around the end period of covid. Then my wife got the worst chewy and undercooked steak ever. Staf then offered not to pay for that.

Very disappointed, took my girlfriend and dad for lunch, most of the outside area was closed off, very few tables in the glorious sunshine. Ordered food, selected a side to be served with main as shown in the attachment. It was served with starters, questioned the waiter who told me that I should have ordered separately and they do not get to see the request. Showed him the order summary on my phone which showed this was clearly marked as serve with main and he still argued rather than apologising. He was argumentative, rude and disrespectful. Food arrived without cutlery, had to wait for that to be brought to the table whilst food was getting cold.
Not a good experience, will not be returning.

Excellent food and great service. Interior is starting to look faded though and could do with a refresh.

Typical British pub food in a pub aspiring to be more premium, but at the end still being part of a chain. From the Sunday roast, the potatoes were not nice, and chicken very average. Quite expensive drinks and very typical (limited) selection; if you are fine with peroni or madri you will be fine...

Very enjoyable meal. Our scallops were outstanding. The lamb rump was excellent. The pork belly was a little more fatty than my partner prefers but still good. Also very good and efficient service.

Living in Great Linford, I've visited the black horse on myriad occasions. Revisiting, knowing each time ownership has changed hands, but, somehow, the experience never improves.
Today, I took my mother and friend for lunch. I know, from previous experience, you're unable to order a drink at the bar as it's table service only, which is inherently annoying and runs contrary to a proper pub experience, but its annoyance is exacerbated massively when it takes 15 minutes to be asked what drink you want, especially given there were only about 6 other punters in the entire establishment.
Sadly, the overpriced food didn't make up for the diabolical service. The 'toasted' chicken sandwich was so under-toasted that it just made the bread feel stale, and the chicken was overcooked and extremely dry.
Such a lovely, aesthetic public house, ruined by terrible service, poor policy and mediocre overpriced food

The food is amazing! The service is relaxed, friendly and professional, plus both the interior and exterior provide a great atmosphere: sit out by the canal when the weather is nice or tuck yourself inside when it turns cold. The real wood fires are a welcome touch in Winter.

We had a smashing evening. Our Chateaubriand was cooked perfectly by Aiden and our waitress Vibeke was lovely and looked after us perfectly. We always have a good time at the Black Horse
