Stopped here for lunch as the final destination on a rideout with friends. Gorgeous historic pub in a small village with splendid views across the valley from the rear terrace. My pictures don't do it justice due to the iffy weather. We ordered our meals and my fish and chips arrived. Great big bit of fish and some heavy duty chips with a decent serving of tartare sauce and mushy peas. I decided to add some vinegar as usual and saw a bottle of white vinegar on the table so poured a line on my fish only to discover it was oily and not vinegar but anti bacterial hand wash. I hadn't read the big label on the other side of the bottle DOH!! My friends understood and promptly laughed at me and when the waitress asked what had happened she told me she would ask the chef to cook me another but it would take a few minutes. I gratefully accepted and the chef sent out a bowl of French fries for me to munch on while I waited as it had made him laugh so much. :):) When the new portion arrived along with a brand new bottle of malted vinegar it was excellent and well worth the wait. Throughout our visit the service from the staff was excellent as was the food and coffee and I now understand why the group go there frequently for lunch. I know I will return as well. Thank you all at The Black Boy. J

Absolutely brilliant pub. Great food, great beer and VERY dog friendly! Anna and the team looked after us really well and we had a lovely evening. We were able to stay overnight in our campervan, which was really handy. Call ahead and book a table if you want to do this, just let them know you've got a van. We'll definitely be back!

Quaint pub with some rather wonderful views from a lovely garden setting. Unfortunately the weather had other ideas but I will go back for that half of the experience, where I'll no doubt up the star rating 🙂. Service was ok and the food from the kitchen arrives promptly without delay. Had the customary Friday dish, beer battered Haddock, with chunky chips and it was delicious. Scampi and skinny fries was equally as lovely. Can't wait to sample the other delights from this place 😇

Went for a late Sunday lunch on route to Waddesdon Manor. Very cold day but a warm welcome and friendly service. Not a cheap option but a very good quality Roast had by 3 of us. Fishcake main was also declared lovely. Limited choice of starters and 3 of the options were cheesy. Decent wine choices and several ales. This pub is tucked away in a small village but worth seeking out.
