The Black Horse was situated on Main Street.
The Black Horse, Grimston, was closed in January 2020 hoping to convert it to mainly residential use. It was granted an ACV by Melton Borough Council in April 2020. The Black Horse Community Group has been attempting to buy the pub, but negotiations have been protracted and it is only recently that a share issue has got the go-ahead. Along with an application from the government's Community Ownership Fund, it is hoped the financing will be available to take over the pub, which dates from 1753 and get it back to being the successful village hub it used to be.
