The Black Jug - Horsham

My family and I wanted to organise a surprise birthday retirement party for my Dad – we’d been to the Black Jug a few times before and enjoyed it.The team accommodated our needs very well beforehand (allowing us to organise decorations, cakes, etc. ahead of time), and on the day itself we had a very enjoyable time. The service was very good, the food was excellent, and the cakes were even brought to our table – we all had a great meal out.Would definitely recommend – and we may well be back next year for another birthday meal!

We visited there just before Christmas, looks like there is no social distancing what so ever, so we sat out in the freezing cold garden area, it was packed and not much room to move out of the way from people eating, it looked like a squashed affair, I was quite shocked. quite worrying really in this time we are in. and left early as I was cold.

You will always get a great plate of food here to add to the great choice of Ales , ciders and wine (not forgetting Ally's horde of Whisky !

Came here with colleagues from a charity shop I help in for our Christmas meal. Disappointing to say the least. Most of us had the tradition turkey meal. Turkey was of the boned and rolled type. Stuffing was a slice off a sausage shaped roll. But we all agreed that it was the roast potatoes that were the biggest let down. They were not at all golden and crispy, in fact rather pale and tough to cut, and very tasteless. They were all exactly the same pale yellow all over, not various shades of golden crispness like proper roasties should be . It occurred to me after that maybe they were deep fried, which might account for the very even pale yellow colour? Anyway, however they were cooked, they were voted by all of us, underwhelming and disappointing. Best bit for me were the sprouts, which were cooked to perfection for me still firm and bright green but disliked by others who prefer sprouts over cooked ! or not at all I filled up with 3 portions ! Also, something on the table to make it a bit more Christmassy would have been nice, like maybe crackers. All in all not good value at nearly £25 for two courses.

Jake was very inviting at midday, we then came back at 7 pm because the pub was so amazed balls. There’s so much to look at, The best whiskey collection in Horsham.
