END OF NEWS
The Black Horse is a traditional, Victorian pub in Aylestone Village, just within the southern boundary of the City of Leicester. We specialise in providing quality products in pleasant surroundings, with a friendly welcome and a fantastic atmosphere.
Phil & Marny run The Black Horse in the roles of traditional landlord and landlady. Phil looks after the beer (6 real ales or more on a regular basis - including the entire Everards range). He's also frequently found behind the bar; with a karaoke microphone in his hand; doing some "quality control"; or joining in a game of darts. Marny organises the food side of things and, above all, makes sure their children don't get forgotten!
The Black Horse is also proud to be associated with the churches of Aylestone through their excellent partnership, The Spirit of Aylestone, which organises cross-denominational and community events/activities that promote the togetherness of Aylestone as a village. We were pleased to be invited to help welcome Dave Appleby, the new rector, to the parish last year, and we are thoroughly enjoying our close relationship with the churches of Aylestone.
