WOW WOW WOW What an amazing experience at the black horse, we was greeted by the most welcoming owners and able to choose our own seats meaning as a couple we wasn’t just plonked in a corner and forgotten we instead was waited on hand and foot!! The food was delicious 😋 I had the bubble and Quack which was fabulous (the duck yolk was ooozing) and my husband had a spicy bean mix with a GIANT pork chop. A great value for money and accompanied by great service from all the staff. They even gave poppy (our Labrador) some treats so she felt at home

First time coming here after hearing really good things. The food was delicious, good portions and well presented. The atmosphere was lovely; nicely decorated, clean and cosy. The service was a bit slow and was awhile until we ordered food but the staff were kind and friendly and I think it was only a bit slow due to being a few days before Christmas and quite busy. I look forward to going back to try other things off their menu. Highly recommend.

I have used Terry Baker many times in the past and again recently, had a number of their electricians doing various jobs and every time I received professional, friendly and precise service. Their office staff are also very accommodating and responsive. An excellent company on all fronts.

Good space, pleasing ambience, and pleasant staff. The main course food was very tasty whereas the desserts were 'OK'. Service was a bit slow for a not too busy day, but we were in no rush, so it wasn't a big deal. We'll go again, though.

Having arrived towards the end of food service in the evening we were still given stellar treatment from arrival to departure. The team were welcoming, friendly and informative. We both had the beef burger and chips and honestly could not fault anything! The pie fillings were tempting too. Both of our desserts were excellent and I cannot thank the team enough for recommending the chocolate orange mousse. Excellent service. Will be coming back again soon!

Rare Breeds Centre Restaurant

What a lovely experience, lovely little centre full of farm animals and cute pets. Well worth the annual pass as day entrance is quite expensive, but this is one of those places you can visit more than once and still have a great time. Wasn't too busy but then not sure school holidays had started when I visited , I imagine it can be though. Decent car park but that may be an issue on busier days.

Lovely place to take the family. It is lovely to see everyone there and the charity work which you can see with your own eyes is amazing. Will definitely come back. Only downside was the food but other than that a great day out

We've just come back, amazing place! We had a tractor ride and watched a pig racing 🐖 there're lots of toilets and hand wash stations,playgrounds and apart from farm animals they have butterflies and birds too. Such a great day we had! Plus they help people with special needs who live in houses nearby so it's always worth supporting them with purchasing a ticket.

A gem of a place! Amazing for kids! My wife and I went there with our 3yr old, 2yr old and 6month old. From the moment we walked through the entrance to leaving, we all had a great time. It was wonderful seeing the kids enjoying the animal Pettit f section. The site is very large, with lots happening and even more to see. You could emailed spend the whole day there seeing the animals, presentations, parks, play areas, including large soft-play, and restaurant. Our favourites were the Butterfly tunnel and the petting area. It was a brilliant day. Great value for money. Highly recommend. We will definitely be revisiting.

Another lovely evening at this charming pub. We have been a few times over the past 2 decades and have never been disappointed. The food was absolutely delicious and the wines are absolutely top notch. Thanks again to the landlord and chef

Don't be put off by other negative reviews. I wasn't, I read the positive ones and decided it was the place to try. The pub is a home full of character. We called before as in the area and were greeted with a positive welcome. Our meal was cooked to order, with a passion for food. Sardines were large cooked perfectly with rosemary, bread was warm and soft. Sea bass was meaty laid on samphire with a lobster and mussel bisque (clearly homemade from lobster shell stock, yum) lovely new potatoes and fresh veggies. Just about room for dessert, we had apple sultana laced with calvados on a homemade shortbread disc with ice cream. Finished off with a lovely coffee and homemade biscuit. The meal was hot and remained so while eating a good sign of being cooked fresh and not left on a hotplate. The owner is the chef and on reading information about the Dering Arms he's had the building since he was 27 and now plans to retire....it will be a great loss for the area. The landlord buys fish and seafood each week from the coast and adapts his specials board to what's in season. He has reasonable room hire for b&b. Call him first to ensure it's serving, and he's still the chef. Slight threshold step

Popped in for a quick drink with my family when we were visiting the area this afternoon. Knew I'd walked into a good pub when I saw the pile of Classic & Sports Car magazines on the bar! Very well kept pint of Goacher's Dering Ale. Nice chap behind the bar and spotlessly clean loos. Will be back for one of their advertised classic car meetings and to try the food!
