Black Horse, The

The Black Horse is a traditional family run inn, situated just outside Shefford, and a short drive from the towns of Bedford, Luton and Stevenage. You could stay there and spend a couple of days relaxing in the attractive surroundings or visit them for a delicious traditional English meal.

Consider taking advantage of the Black Horse Sunday lunch where a salad of goats' cheese, fennel and pink grapefruit or a simple roast sirloin of beef with homemade Yorkshire pudding taste like never before.

Warm potted crab and wild rabbit and smoked bacon roulade can be had as starters while mains include dishes such as pan-fried fillets of rainbow trout, slow braised shoulder of pork with crispy crackling, and hot Asian salad with smoked tofu. Lighter lunchtime options take in escalopes of Scottish salmon, suet crusted pies and a spicy vegetarian mezze board. The ever popular sticky toffee pudding and saffron poached pears appear on the dessert menu.

Get ready to be amazed by a range of good wines and champagne.
