Second lunch time dining experience in Piccolino in the week. Good quality food, and ‘Club Menu’ had enough options to allow different choices each time. Great that the options include some more unusual choices, rather than just the usual pasta, including chicken livers as an appetiser and tuna, prawn, scallop skewers as a main which were both delicious.

Gastro Pub

Fulmer

About the restaurant

The Black Horse in the village of Fulmer is nestled between Gerrards Cross and Pinewood Studios. The 17th Century craftsman’s cottage has gradually been extended to form a charming country pub full of nooks and crannies. Under new ownership, The Black Horse has recently undergone extensive refurbishment both inside and out, creating one of the nicest pub environments in the area.

Food is our passion and we will never compromise on quality. We are proud of our seasonally changing menus, simple, yet exciting using the finest ingredients and locally sourced produce. Certain dishes have become specialities such as our sticky ribs and homemade 8oz burgers. Our beef has been aged for a minimum of 35 days and the roast beef served on Sundays is unrivalled. Crispy beer battered fish and specials such as sea bass, turbot and whole lobster, is caught in the morning and delivered fresh to us on the same day.
