The Black Horse, Great Linford

having booked a table for six people earlier in the week we turned up 10 minutes early on Friday 9th July 2010 and there we stood like statues at the bar, after 15 minutes i grabbed a member of staff and explained that we had booked a table and would like to sit down, without asking our name the young man led us up the stairs , pointed and said there's your table [ which was set for eight ], so there we sat for fifteen minutes , finally the young man came back and asked if we would like drinks, when we gave our order we were told, sorry thats gone and that and that, after settling for drinks that were available we sat again for another ten minutes, then a family group turned up and said " you're sitting at our table, the girl downstairs said that thats ours, the next thing that happened was the guy who took our drinks order turned up minus drinks and proceeded to arrange tables to accomodate that party, a further ten minutes went by and still no drinks so we got up and left, after reading other comments about food orders i'm glad that we left, we might still be waiting ! would i recommend the Black Horse for food ? a resounding NO, the service is appalling, i dont blame the staff [ what few there was of them ] anyway we found a more accomodating restaurant, celebrated my daughters birthday in style happy in the knowledge that we had left the Black Horse without spending in excess of �200..... Landlord , get your act together pronto. There are other eateries !!
