THE VENUE
The flagship venue for padel in the Chilterns.
There wasn’t anywhere nearby that paired padel with a proper pub, so we built one. The Black Horse is the first venue in a growing network, and it sets the template: the courts were added to the pub, not the other way around, so the welcome, the food and the atmosphere carry just as much weight as the padel.
If you’ve searched for padel near Amersham, Berkhamsted, Great Missenden or Wendover, this is it, the nearest courts to all four.
Book a Court
Two panoramic courts
Covered, floodlit and playable whatever the weather. The panoramic glass design means you can see out over open countryside mid-rally, not stare at a warehouse wall. Suitable for complete beginners through to regular players.
Countryside views, Chiltern Hills
The courts look out over open countryside in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a very different backdrop to a typical indoor club or leisure centre car park.
Coaching, all levels
Coaching for complete beginners through to improvers, plus open social sessions on court. Interested in booking padel coaching? Email info@padelatp.com.
