Welcome to The Black Horse
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 has the following:
- NEW - Friday Night Food: £5 home-cooked dinners every Friday 6-8pm

If you're approaching Leceister from the south by boat, there is mooring within 400m of The Black Horse, and you could chug the remianing 2 miles to the city centre in the morning.
