Craigmill Timorous Beastie at the Black Horse, Northfield


This is an amazing tardis of a pub with dining rooms and lounges galore. Outside it still retains its merchant house character but within its like stepping into a country mansion. There’s a large comfy sitting room with comfy chairs galore surrounded by wood panelling. There’s a private upstairs room and a small side room with its own bar and two large dining rooms. But having private conversation can be difficult as the pub is very open-plan. The only thing that lets it down is its small glass entrance which has been added on to reflect recent times to make the building more accessible. Also, while the main bar is easy to find, it’s divided by a pillar which makes it difficult to be served by both sides as well as seeing which cask ales are available. If you’re ordering food, it’s probably easier to use the pub’s app as everyone else will be cramming around the one bar to get their order in.
