As in other posts for this establishment, the girl behind the bar left us feeling like some one who was an alien. Came across as didn't giving a toss who she upset. I asked for 3 drinks, she only served 2 and gave the impression that that was our fault. I asked if food was being g served she said everyone comes to the bar for everything. We sat down, finished our drinks and left. On leaving I confirmed her name was Emma. I told her to look at the reviews of the place.

Not a very good experience. For being advertised as fresh food, the mac and cheese come out still frozen, and the hot chocolate ordered was freezing. Upon returning the food my partner went to the kitchen to say she didn't want the food now to find the bar maid sharing negative comments about my partner returning the food

Spent 10-15 minutes waiting to be served before leaving and going to elsewhere. It was no atmosphere as you had 5 people in, and it took that long to before I got bored waiting and went elsewhere. Clown.

The Black Bull is a nice traditional pub. There is a good selection of beers, lager and cider, including two cask conditioned hand pulled, real ales farmers blonde and doom bar. There are three rooms and an outside seating area at the back. The beer was excellent, and the food menu looked very tempting, although we didn't try the food on our visit. It's a dog friendly pub.

Before I first walked in properly into they Black Bull, one of the bar ladies, I noticed, was watching me enter into they drinking place, but still, I had entered in there. I walked in, too, met with 3 others in the bar at they time and I believe they were planning on ordering food, so I had gone through mu options in the menu for myself and I was sent to they Bar. I ordered any drinks and food at the time, so non alcoholic and a Heineken. I had 2 of those and had waited for it to arrive. Whilst I was drinking and chatting and waiting for food they Bar lady at they time there appeared to be watching our table quite a lot more, but we carried on waiting and chatting. And then our food arrived she had picked up on they fact that they food you will eat on they plate will be hot and mentioned it to myself, which in a way I do get a lot from many places I eat in. And then we were eating, and at the time, we were discussing radiators in properties and Gas and electric utility bills, and they bar lady did approach our table and believed we were still on they subjects of hot plates or hot food items but I mentioned no just Radiators.

Came away for a nice chilled time away with friends wanted to go out for a nice pub lunch but was disappointed to watch the chef take out a frozen pizza from the out door shed across from where we was sat! The mac and cheese was clearly a microwaved meal and the garlic bread that came with it was covered in fluff from a tea towel, the pie had next to no meat and the mash clearly frozen aswell!

Came for lunch on Tuesday with some friends and a baby. Food on the whole was good ( apart from the fish and chips frozen grey horrid ) but would recommend steak sandwich. The service industry is what it says on the tin !!! If you don’t want to serve people don’t be a waitress or a barmaid!!! If you can’t manage a smile or manners then change careers ! I recommend a dustbin lady or night porter as these both have minimal contact with the public. Arrange your restaurant so that the grumpy staff can get past customers on chairs eating without huffing and puffing !!! Puts a slightly sour taste in the customers mouth when staff are unwelcoming….

booked a table for 12 pp today 24/9/23 . food was absolutely disgusting. my friend was served uncooked peas with her meal . and when we spoke to the bar staff . he said the chef said sorry about that . and didn’t offer any refund or or asked if we wanted any more peas . mine and friends left most of the food . and the guys they had working there today was absolutely shocking service. ! *** i cannot respond to owners review so i have to add onto my comments instead. we did turn up 40 mins late but we kept trying to phone you to let you know & there was no answer. in fact we have tried to phone loads of times since to discuss this and nobody answers. the bar staff did not apologise for the food all they said was ok. they never even offered to replace the frozen peas ! when we complained a 2nd time he said i will tell the chef and that was it. At no point did anyone ask us if the food was ok !! And at no point did anyone say they would bring fresh peas out! we did not complain about the rest of the meals as we could see there was no point. Hence why we have been trying to phone all week. but nobody ever answers the phone. i can honestly say there was not one good meal that day and in fact the last few months the food has not been good. ***

Never came back to ask us our order which actually did us a favour as it was burgers or hotdogs on a very limited menu.such a shame as service and menu last year was very good.i can only think they have had a management change.you don't get repeated custom treating people like this.

The pub itself was nice, food was lovely. Unfortunately the service we received was awful, extremely rude waitress who was extremely annoyed we were there as she then couldn't stand in the corner with customers who were clearly her underaged friends. Also the atmosphere was awful as the waitress friends then stared at us the whole time we were sat waiting and eating as if to intimidate us to leave and the waitress was very sharp and quite rude to us. Truly dissopointing as food was lovely but completely let down by the service. Would not return.

I do not recomend the food. The only good thing I can say was it filled me up. Non of the food was hot. It all looked like it was microwaved, everything from the kids pizza to the Sunday dinner. The mash was incredibly thick. The veg wasn't even the right colour . We found it incredibly hard to cut through the shop bought Yorkshire puddings. My mum found a hair in her dinner all we got was a uncomfortable giggle and bearly apology from the waiting staff. Poor quality all round.

I went hear last night to watch the England match. From the outside the pub looked nice with 3 rooms with the sung been the the back plus a beer garden. When we first went it was quite however after a short period the swearing from the manager and his friends was very loud and Inappropriate. Then the manager sat while the girl behind the bar did all the running about. Plus the manger was bad mouth an ex member of staff who in his words had to be sacked and told his mates why in a very loud voice. I personal think that the swearing and talking about ex members of staff is not appropriate for the pub floor. I work for a large company and would not like to hear my team speak like the manager did. I think every other words was a F. I was visiting the area for the second time within a few years and thought we would try the local pubs, however I will, never step back in this pub and think the manager needs to be pulled about his attitude and language spoken .

What an amazingly dissatisfied visit it was when my family and I went for a meal out at the Black Bull! Both the children ordered from the children's menu and both their meals were prepared in the microwave, and the server didn't even bat an eye when she informed me of this. My husband and I both had the worst burger in the world. Rubber would have been a better name for it. The service was slow and unpleasant and the staff were not interested in doing their job

Thought we would try this pub for an evening meal as staying in the area, well what a waste of time.We went in and sat down only to be told 'we don't serve food after 7'. Considering there were boards outside advertising food and no mention on their website either of not serving after 7 I think it's very poor. To be honest it looked a bit of a spit and sawdust type of place so I certainly wouldn't recommend.

Went there yesterday and ordered a goats cheese salad, and a steak salad. Both meals around£9 each. Waited around an hour for the meals to be served, when they finally arrived I was appalled. The salad consisted of unwashed little gem, cucumber slices which were dried out they were that old, and peppers which were soft and not fit for eating. Sprinkled with around a spoon of goats cheese and a blob ( description fits the presentation ) of onion marmalade. No dressing .... and the steak salad was just as poor.... the steak was cold...the salad 2 days past it's best. The only reason I am giving this 1 star is because when the manager (who was far to busy to see a customer and right an order) sent the bar staff to deal with me. She agreed with and refunded me completely. I will never eat here again.

There is not enough staff to take your order and serve the meals. They do not have specific allergy menus, lame excuse why they didn’t have one. The crust on the steak pie was that hard you could not get your knife through it. I can’t believe that the ladies toilets had 3 soap dispensers and not 1 was working, certainly not acceptable, the least they could do is put bottles of liquid soap on the sinks.
