Cleo

Real fire in the big main bar, a quieter back bar for shy dogs. I'm not shy. Main bar.

Bonnie

Dog friendly, written where I can see it. My favourite sentence. Also, toad in the hole is a pub game here.

The pawrents

The Black Horse on Western Road is a proper dog friendly pub. A real fire in the main bar, a quieter back bar, a flint-walled garden and no steps. Sunday roasts run 12 to 5. Muddy boots stay at the door.
