The Black Horse

Right in the middle of the pretty village of Woburn, this 18th-century inn cuts an elegant figure. Behind the Georgian frontage, the original coaching inn feel of the cosy bar has been retained and complemented with a chic, relaxed dining area where seasonal, locally sourced food drives the all-day menus. Cornish mack bap, lettuce and tartare sauce makes a light lunch or start with potted rabbit and smoked bacon, sweet pickled onions, toasted walnut salad and rustic bread before Jimmy Butler's free-range bangers and mash and onion gravy and salted fudge Valrhona chocolate mousse and banana ice cream to finish.
