Standing above the village green, the Black Horse is well located close to the edge of the Vale of Belvoir with pleasant footpaths providing ample walking opportunities. The pub is single roomed but divided into three sections on two separate levels. The pub had been closed since January 2020 and a planning application was subsequently submitted to convert the pub into flats and a smaller micropub venue. The local community opposed this and an ACV was secured on the pub and the local community eventually purchased it now being run as a community pub. A full refurbishment programme has taken place inside the building over the last year and work is ongoing to upgrade the gardens and yard area. There is a typical pub food menu but Tuesday is the pubs pizza, burger or pie night. The hope is to resurrect the pubs darts and petanque teams.
Community Owned
Freehold Owner: Individual. Year Purchased 2023.
The pub closed on 18 January 2020. Since then the Black Horse Community Group Limited (a CBS) registered the pub as an ACV, objected to two planning applications for change of use to residential, and completed the purchase of the freehold of the Black Horse on 9 May 2023 (funded by community shareholders and the government’s Community Ownership Fund- the community group received an award of £245K in Dec 2022). After a refurbishment programme through the remainder of 2023, and seeking a tenant, the pub reopened on the 3rd February 2024.
This Pub serves 3 changing beers (3 changing beers are available and are sourced both locally and nationally with at least 1 sourced locally.) and 0 regular beers.
