The Black Dog has become our go to “local”, even though it’s a short drive away. We enjoy the friendly atmosphere that the pub provides together with the superb food offerings. The menu is regularly updated with weekly specials. We own a dog and tend to eat in the bar area (dogs allowed). It’s important to us that our dog settles so as not to disturb other customers. It’s his favourite pub as well!! The staff are extremely welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. Thank you.

Went here with 8 family members and loved it. The food was great and the dishes came out at all the same time so we could all eat at the same time.Service was great tool Definitely will visit again.

Ah, Christmas Day, the season of joy, generosity, and, if you’re dining at The Black Dog, the unforgettable £85 roast dinner. Unfortunately, my experience was more ‘unforgettable’ in the way a clown at a funeral would be. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I couldn’t grace the establishment with my presence. Instead, the group I was meant to be with asked to box up and bring this culinary masterpiece back for me. Imagine my glee when I was presented with a portion so meager, it wouldn’t even suffice as a light snack for a famished squirrel. The presentation? Think abstract art, if the artist was a toddler in a temper tantrum. As a seasoned connoisseur of fine dining across the UK, I’ve seen my fair share of roast dinners. But this? This was a culinary catastrophe wrapped in a riddle, topped with a mystery. At the princely sum of £85, one might expect a feast fit for royalty. Instead, what I received was more akin to a jesters’ joke. I can’t help but chuckle in despair and extend a warm, hearty warning to fellow diners: at The Black Dog, your Christmas spirit might just turn into a ghost story. Bon appétit!

Visited now 3 times when working in area. Had a lovely meal near an open fire that was going. Friendly staff, fair price and portion. Shame I live 300 miles away to go more often 🤣

3 of us went here for a birthday meal for my dad. Service was first class, food was delicious and plenty of it. We had a lovely time. Will definately be returning.

A cosy village pub on the outskirts of Waltham chase. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The food is good, a little expensive for what it is perhaps but it was made up for by the staff’s warm hospitality.

A clean, bright, comfortable pub with excellent food, and friendly service. The menu had great variety, the drinks were good and we appreciated the large outdoor garden as an option for dining with our small dog. Would highly recommend this pub for drinks or a terrific meal

A fabulous pub to have a family meal. The service was next to none, waitress was pleasant and very attentive. Atmosphere was lovely. Food was fantastic. We had fish and chips & mushy peas Tuna, new potato and salsa Cheese cake biscoff Fully recommend

First night fancied something simple a basket meal £6.50 good quality nice beer and our black dog felt very at home. Went back a second night ate off the main menu again lovely meal

A great little pub. The staff were full of enthusiasm and I was greeted with a huge smile. The food was really tasty and served promptly. The price provided good value. The atmosphere was friendly - clearly a favourite with locals and passing travellers alike. There's plenty of parking to the side of the pub; with disabled parking near the front door. The pub offers food in the bar or in a restaurant area at the back. Overall a good pub.
