The Black Horse

Disappointing! If there was a school report for this place I'd have to give it a B+, could do better. It's in the perfect place right beside the Kennet & Avon canal, but it seemed lacking somehow. The menu choice while acceptable for a carnivore/omnivore was a bit lacking for a vegetarian/vegan, plus while seated outside we had the dubious pleasure of sharing our lunch with a rat, or possibly even two. As a county person it didn't faze me, but a townie may not have had the same reaction - just putting it out there!! The staff were lovely, can't fault them, it's just the menu choices that let it down a little. If it's a pint by the canal you want, then I don't doubt they nail that, with perhaps some chips??

A beautiful pub, on the canal stunning views. Food was lovely would of scores 5 stars but fish batter was very greasy. Fish was delicious. The Sri Lankan curry was very nice. Pudding was stunning a zingy lemon cheesecake & ice cream, but the highlight was the chocolate brownie with honeycomb ice cream I have never had a brownie that good would definitely travel back to devizes just for the pudding. Staff were friendly.
