Categories food & drink, , Leave a Comment on The Black Horse Clapton in Gordano Review

The Black Horse Clapton in Gordano is the kind of pub that makes you wonder why you don’t spend more afternoons in North Somerset.

Add in a genuinely dog-friendly welcome, homemade pub grub, and a beer garden that’s just begging for a sunny day, and you’ve got my idea of a perfect find.
