The location is really nice and the pub has a pleasant welcoming feel about it. Dogs are allowed and the food is nice.

My friend and I visited the Black Horse Foxton after some local shopping in Market Harborough yesterday. We arrived at 2 pm and were quickly accomodated for lunch.
We both ordered a Beef Sunday lunch and were not disappointed. Great flavours, plenty on the plates and veg al dente.A very tasty meal thoroughly enjoyed by both of us.The staff were efficient, friendly and helpful. Main meal was so filling neither of us could comfortably manage a dessert, and I love dessert. Well done, we will vist again and tell our friends.

The special for the evening were pies - Pork and Stilton & Lamb and Ham. We had Lamb pie...it was absolutely tastless! We also chose the vegetarian 4 bean Chili Con Carne with Nachos - which was really uninspiring! The service got slower as the restaurant got busier.
This restaurant has a lovely position near to the canal with tables in the garden but the food wasn’t good.

We didn’t eat here, just had a drink after a long walk. It was well located and welcoming and clean with some free tapas things on the bar....yum! They may not be regular. I would recommend the walk and pint.?

We popped in for a quick drink on the way to our holiday accommodation. We ordered drinks and chips. Drinks good and chips were great. The kids really enjoyed them. The place had a relaxed atmosphere and was well decorated. Staff friendly and helpful.

We called in to the 'Stables' tea room next to the Black Horse after a recommendation and what a find. Apparently on Tuesdays there is a special offer on scones and coffee.
So undecided what to eat when we entered we opted for the handmade scones with jam and cream and they were delicious. The ladies taking orders were pleasant and helpful and we recommend you give it a try when in the Foxton area; so we cannot wait for our second visit to this little gem.

Since Clarence had left the customer service has gone downhill. However when the main owner is there his hosting skills are good and restores the bad customer service from the young lady.
The main greeter who is downstairs that greets you in and shows you to your table is a fantastic host, only to describe her as the mature lady compared to the young lady who sits on a stool whilst the mature lady work her socks off trying to please all the customers.
The young lady when asking a question, when serving is awful, she seems to be completely careless, she dropped cutlery from the plate on to my arms, she has dropped food from plates and so on with out a proper apology.
What is disgusting is Prawn Crackers cost £3! What is this and they do not serve it during lunch times! I’ve been going here for 10 odd years, and all my loyal custom has just been thrown out the window!
This should be complementary same as before specially when I come to the restaurant we spend minimum £85 to £200 each time.
The young lady needs to go or needs serious customer service training. The mature lady staff is fantastic and deserves better service staff to support her, she seems to be the only one along with the owner who cares about customer service and quality.
As for the food, the chicken doesn’t taste fresh, it tastes like its poor quality now, specially in the chicken sweetcorn soup. The duck needs to be cut better with more effort, it was very chunky last time we came.
Advice please write your soft drinks down, i.e 7up, fanta as I dislike the cheap lemonade I was given. Also change the lunch menu around try something else different, put a vegetairan selection and maybe try add lamb to dishes or pork instead of same chicken and beef.
To be honest I am just more disappointed with the young lady and the £3 for prawn crackers! Awful!
I will come back and see if anything has improved, because I prefer to support local businesses. Also to add give wet wipes or hand towels after the meal.

After an afternoon gin making at Two Birds we rounded off our day with a meal at Han. We chose the Han Banquet brilliant value for money and so much food we couldn't finish it all. As good as previous visits.

Four of us had a meal here in April 2018 and enjoyed it so much that we booked and returned again in May.
The restaurant has a great reputation and we found that it had a quiet but pleasant atmosphere, whilst the food quality was great and the service was discreet and efficient.There is no service charge for dining in and there is also a take-away service.
No hesitation in recommending if you enjoy good Chinese food.
