The Black Horse

This beautiful beamed country pub steeped in history was originally built in the 1470’s as a dry moated farmhouse to the then prominent Dering Family and includes 5 log burning fires throughout the bar and restaurant.

Over the years the pub has become well known for its many spirits (and not just the ones in the bottles!). One of the many famous ghosts is of an invisible phantom who makes himself known by moving both glasses and possessions around the pub – items which can often go missing for days on end. Many customers have reported seeing the presence of a small child phantom in the pub too . This long history of happenings has been experienced by both the Landlady & landlord, and by customers throughout the pubs rich history.

The Black Horse is ideally sited for the breathtaking walks that Pluckley has to offer and offers packages to rambling, cycling, paranormal investigation groups and coach tours too.

We’re dog friendly with a large garden overloking the village square and miles of rolling landscape beyond.
