We have been to The Dark Horse a number of times and it has never failed to delight. The owners, Ian and Lee are incredibly skilled and provide a food and drink experience that we keep returning for. This is exactly the sort of local restaurant that should be supported, The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. There is never any rush, and everything on the menu is excellent. A real gem of a restaurant.

We had a really lovely lunch here! We had a warm welcome when we arrived by the front of house gentleman; we hadn't a reservation but we're quickly seen to a table and given menus. We ordered a couple of cocktails that were expertly crafted and lovingly presented. We quickly ordered food afterward; smoked pork hash, the pork chop and some padrón peppers. The food was a treat for the eyes and for the taste buds. I think it was the best pork chop I've ever eaten and will be returning for another! The service was fast and friendly with good knowledge about the menu. We never felt rushed or forgotten. 10/10 they'll see us again.
Really tasty food and the service was excellent - we had great chats with our waiter. Restaurant has a nice ambiance too. Croquette starter and fig & burrata were stand out starters. we will be back when over again. One interesting 'tidbit' of trivia is that some scenes in 'Killing Eve' were filmed here...
Dropped in for food this evening, table for one. I ordered a beer, bottle of Timothy Taylor at 6 well overpriced. The waiter took my food order, Chicken Liver Pate to start...easy to make and it tastes fine, a good portion but as usual in most places 2 small pieces of sourdough left over half the pate with nothing to spread it on. I then ordered the black pig chop with roasted leeks and a fennel mayonnaise however 2 small leeks the size of a babies thumb did not cut it on the veg front. There was nothing from the waiter as to whether I wanted any potatoes or side dishes so I wrongly presumed there would be enough on my plate. All in all okay food but well overpriced in my opinion, staff could have been a little more helpful and sitting by 3 very loud salesman didn't make for a comfortable meal.
We ate here during Covid Tier 2, the staff were very good with a nice friendly attitude but attention to detail which provided efficient service. The food was tasty and I had game pie (please see photo). Well worth a visit if in the Stratford area. There is never any rush, and everything on the menu is excellent. A real gem of a restaurant.
