   An old favourite, good food and great vibes. The atmosphere feels private with a delicate and posh Mediterranean atmosphere, and excellent Mediterranean food. I hope it's still giving punters the same experience in the years to come. I did love the Middle Eastern food it used to serve (I don't think I'm imagining this). Happy place.

   We booked for Sunday lunch, ordered the chicken and porchetta, which came with beans, carrots, roast potatoes and Yorkshire puds. We both agreed it was one of the best, if not the best, Sunday lunches we've ever had, and IMHO it surpassed my long-time favourite, Hawksmoor. Everything was just so delicious, I tried to choose my "star of the show" and I think it had to be the roast potatoes!! I even surprised myself with that claim! It just shows, simple can be the best...nothing overly fancy, just great ingredients, cooked to perfection. And we finished by sharing pear crumble with honeycomb ice cream - wow, amazing! Service was spot on too.

   An interesting layout. The staff team were very attentive throughout, making sure our group dietary needs were well taken care of. The wine selection was impressive, offering something for every taste. The food was excellent. The ambiance is modern and refreshing

   We had our wedding celebration at Dark Horse, and it truly exceeded all expectations. This isn’t just another restaurant in London – it feels like home. From the moment we started planning, the team treated us like old friends, offering a truly personal and individual approach that made everything feel so special. The venue itself is stunning – stylish interior, big windows, and so much natural light. It’s a bright, welcoming space that felt both elegant and relaxed. The outdoor terrace was a huge bonus – our guests loved having a spot to step outside, chill between dancing, and enjoy the atmosphere. It’s tucked away from busy roads, which made it feel really private and intimate – perfect for a special occasion. We chose the shared menu, and it was absolutely perfect. There was more than enough food, and every dish was delicious – our guests couldn’t stop raving about it and many said they’d come back just for dinner! A huge thank you to Matt, who managed the evening seamlessly – thanks to him, we were able to relax and just enjoy our party. Nicole and the rest of the staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and polite – it felt like they were genuinely happy to celebrate with us. And a special thanks to Ian for his excellent communication and flexibility throughout the planning process. We couldn’t recommend Dark Horse more. It’s now our family spot – whether for special occasions, a great dinner, or a cozy Sunday roast, we’ll definitely be back.

   Lovely dinner on a Friday evening. The food was all good, but three course was a bit much. We got the set menu for £29 (3 courses), but sides were extra. Would happily come back again.

   The dark horses in interesting hotel. An arrival particularly at night there doesn't appear to be a clear indication where the entrance is? The reception area is continuously in a low light by day and by night. The trouble is it becomes a turn off to the older generation who struggle with low light to read documents and are mindful of footing. It would be interesting to know what lighting there is in the event of an emergency. The reception staff are very friendly and accommodating The dining area is well laid out, and is busy. The staff are very attentive although the food could be improved. We opted for the steaks which were well cooked. However, the salad was simply a collection of green leaves with a hint of brown with no effort I thought to make it appealing. The rooms are very clean and well laid out with a kettle and lovely biscuits to welcome you there.

   I really wish I took photos inside especially once evening set in it was stunning, as it was so warm we chose to sit outside but it's a lovely place with a lovely character inside. The staff was friendly and attentive but also gave us plenty of space to enjoy our time and conversations without constantly interrupting. We used the sundowner set menu and chose the 2 courses, really good value for money. Loved my pig chop it was so succulent and cooked to perfection. We shared the 2 desserts the Creme brulee was divine and so was the hot chocolate brioche pudding I can't recommend enough! Our cocktails was quite strong and tasty definitely got our moneys worth. Definitely add this place to your list! Everything was on point cannot complain

   They really seem to know what they are doing in the kitchen. Probably the best pork chop I have ever had. I have been there three times now, every time all of the dishes were great.

   Visited for Sunday lunch and had a great time. We had a selection of starters which were all generous and very tasty. I had the porchetta roast which was a treat and a step up from the usual roast pork. The meat was very tender and my companions who had steak said it was perfectly cooked. Dark Horse has a great wine list which is definitely the best value around. I don't know of any restaurant in the area with so many choices under £30. You can order within your budget and always be happy with what you're drinking.
