| The Black Horse in Pembury is a deceptively large pub on the High Street in this pretty village just outside Tunbridge Wells. It clearly has high expectations of both its menu and clientele, and the range of food on offer is pretty impressive. They take obvious pride in their seafood dishes - a seafood plate costs way over Twenty pounds and so, with this in mind, Q bravely plumped for a paella which came in gargantuan portions - a massive heaving plate of rice, prawns, mussels and slightly chewy squid. While enjoying it at the time, Q did not enjoy the subsequent and lingering aftertaste. As seafood can sometimes give me a little trouble (don't ask - I blame the genes). I preferred the steakburger - a huge patty of juicy hacked steak on a crusty bun - which came marvellously with fried (or were they roasted?) onions, a shovel-full of spicy hand-cut chips and a generous salad. Marvellous. The staff seem to know their regulars, so service to strangers was polite if a little abrupt - a little cheeriness would not go amiss. A top quality pub with an impressive menu that perhaps shouldn't take itself so seriously. M |
