Black Bull in Bradford

Local pub food stopover, short walk from bronze museum, daint make museum watch out 4 steep cobbled roads. .food was fresh, n tasty,

Took 20 minutes to get served and half an hour for the food to come out and we only got some chips and a sandwich

Lovely warm pub on a cold windy day.

Great pub with a really nice menu.

What a fabulous Sunday ! We enjoyed great food and attentive friendky service all 10 of us- we shall be returning 😀

Very quiet during lunch midweek off peak season. Prices slightly higher than nearby cafes but decent food and service. Indoor and outdoor areas.

Amanda who served us was lovely. Can't fault the food and drinks. The men's toilets still haven't been fixed since last time I came. No toilet seat or toilet roll holder.

Great pub at the top of main street.

What a place food service and drinks incredible

We went to this pub to eat. This is a pleasant and atmospheric place. There was a small nuance with waiting for our order, about 40 minutes, but the food was delicious. The only thing I didn't like was the chicken nuggets, the breading was terribly not tasty because of the oil.

My son told that the Black Bull had a small car park for patrons, so that's how we ended up visiting them. The bar staff were real friendly, they had a decent choice of non-alcoholic drinks, and it was dog friendly. Overall, a good, friendly spot.

Top notch sprite out of a bottle get in 💪

Great service and amazing location plus the locals made us very welcome

Poed in for a drink had meal it was overly, staff very pleasant, would recommend.

Had lunch here today , the pub was warm the staff were welcoming . The new food menu has soo much to choose from . The food was really really nice would definitely recommend you visit .

Perfect accommodation and location if you want to be in the heart of this beautiful and historical place. Staff were amazing! Even offering to move the dates when we thought we couldn’t make it due to one of our party having a bit of an emergency, but fortunately we didn’t need to reschedule in the end. Thank you!

A bit run down but lovely food friendly staff can get busy so maybe book ahead if you are thinking of eating in

Fabulous visit for a midwinters lunch, great atmosphere and incredibly helpful staff .

No toilet seat in the mens toilet, prison like. Dog friendly but not allowed on the carpet.

Had an exceptional Christmas dinner today, everything was spot on, food amazing and all fresh. Staff were super friendly can't thank them enough!

100% recommend for food and drink. 10/10 Xmas dinner.

Had an absolutely amazing time at the black bull in Haworth today, Xmas day. Food was excellent 10 out of 10

Great pub, fab food, room was very clean and comfortable but s little small but it's a pub so it was fine

Unfortunately we had a bad experience We waited 45min for our food, whilst people who came in after us had their food within minutes. We only ordered 4 greek wraps, not a banquet. On a positive, the young lad working behind the bar was beyond friendly and helpful. He is an asset to your pub.

An amazing pub. Freshly cooked food which is a very high standard, high quality and very filling. A wide selection of drinks on offer, including non alcoholic. A very cozy atmosphere and extremely helpful staff. I would highly recommend.

After a busy day of sightseeing and shopping in Haworth we went to the Black Bull for an evening meal. Cosy, welcoming atmosphere with friendly member of staff who served us. Delicious food which was freshly cooked. Would recommend and will be happy to return when we are next in Haworth

Stayed overnight, lovely staff, very friendly, especially the landlady Amanda, food was amazing, had the pie, booked for next year. Great location

Very cosy pub under new management with a new chef, the food was incredible, very high quality and filling, the vibes of the pub are extremely welcoming, nicely decorated and good pricing too, perfectly situated at the top of the high street next to the church, you won’t go wrong stopping in here for food or drink!

Went for food and drinks, and was blown away by the quality of the food, absolutely amazing, large portions, piping hot, delicious, staff were so helpful and accommodating with changes to child's meal. Fantastic price. Can't wait to comeback.

One of my friends and I visited this lovely, proper pub for lunch yesterday and it was lovely. The young bar man was super efficient, knowledgeable, friendly and professional. The food was delicious, Pinot Grigio was good and it was all reasonably priced too. Lovely atmosphere, warm, cosy and plenty of tables and nice eating areas. The wonderful bar man even cane running after us with my friends glasses as she had forgotten them. Bless him. Cannot fault this lovely pub and would highly recommend to everyone.

Lovely looking pub . Shame you’re greated with a misery lad on the bar very poor customer service how he speaks . . . Maybe cos we arrived around 5 on a Tuesday evening . Much better to walk down the hill .and that we did .

This pub was slow in more than one way. My friends and I waited over an hour for our food to arrive and when it did we were thoroughly disappointed with both the over cooked lump that we were told was a burger and the shocking service with snappy attitudes and dirty looks shooting our way throughout the entire meal. The Brontë sisters would be disappointed.

Very beautiful food fast service

Amazing Sunday lunch, the best I’ve ever had. Great portions. Lovely service. Beautiful location.

What a shame; so much history and absolute pride of place on this beautiful high street and the owners have created an absolutely soulless tourist trap with zero character 😔 having said that, prices weren't too expensive for the area so not all bad I guess.

Only had a drink, reasonably priced, friendly staff, nice outside seating, view's of the street

Visited twice in a period of 2 years and it was awful every time. Grumpy stuff mumble something, not able to understand. It was 3 pm and for some strange reason people couldn’t order food. When finally was allowed to order, been told they run out of burgers. This place has so much potential due to Branwell legend but it’s just sad miserable place. Go down road, so much better hospitality.

Popped in as heard duet and had a fun night people so friendly and great Hendricks 👍

Bit disappointed, if I'm honest - thought I'd treat myself to lunch here, as it's my birthday & was hoping to catch up with a friend along the way - ordered roast lamb. (surprised there didn't seem to be any options except Sun roasts but probably would have ordered anyway) When it came it was already covered in gravy - I'd have expected this to be in a jug with meal, it's hardly something you can just leave to one side, & I don't always opt for gravy or at least not as much - don't think info on menu to that effect, but was hungry & not too big a deal, so didn't make a fuss. Meal seemed to be cooked & seasoned well enough, but amount you got was a bit underwhelming, especially for the price. (about £17) eg, the veg seemed to consist of about a quarter carrott & a small amount of greens - I did wonder if it came ready covered in gravy to make it look more. I didn't bother with a dessert but may well have done if I'd had a better experience. To her credit, the waitress did ask me how it was, so I was honest - staff, overall, though didn't seem overly friendly. Being a focal point in Haworth, I would have expected the Black Bull to do much better than this, especially with the high price tag - they do a fuller roast at the Toby carvery in Keighley for a lot less, & allow you to choose your own accompliments! x

I thought the pulled pork sandwich was a little overpriced.

Beautifully located and wonderful atmosphere and the staff are friendly .we were looked after by conner who is a asset to the place ! Will definitely return

Cosy warm friendly pub at the top of the main street in haworth fabulous food the pie is the best highly recommended 😋

A Bronte lovers' paradise . Very reasonably priced rooms, each named after the most famous of Brontes. You can see the Parsonage from your bedroom window so, for a literary weekend, there's no better place to stay. The food served at the bar is excellent, too!

Former local pub of the Bronte sisters ill fated brother Branwell. I had the steak with sweet red onion sandwich which was pretty good though missing the stilton (or barely visible) which only realised later. The rest of the food was good including a decent side salad. It was served quickly and seemed like an decent pub.

First stay at the Black Bull, Jo and John are fantastic hosts and cannot do enough for you. Clean room and public areas, lots of sanitation ports. Table service due to covid restrictions. This was a first class stay at an historical public house, lots of atmosphere and unexplainable experiences. I would recommend the Black Bull to anyone. The only time you could be asked to wait would be if you hadn't booked a table, it's not a long wait and is well worth it.

Nice pub but very over priced for food. £15 for shop bought breaded fish was very expensive. For the price I expected a much higher standard of food. Wish we had seen the menu for the pub down the road at half the price.

My recent stay at The Black Bull in Haworth was nothing short of delightful. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted warmly by the friendly staff, who made me feel right at home. The rooms were a pleasant surprise, boasting a perfect blend of comfort and style. Tastefully decorated and impeccably clean, they provided a cozy retreat after a day of exploring the picturesque surroundings. Speaking of which, the location of The Black Bull couldn't be better. Nestled in the heart of Haworth, it offers easy access to the quaint streets lined with historic buildings and charming shops. The peaceful ambiance of the surroundings added to the overall allure of the place. Throughout my stay, the staff went above and beyond to ensure that I had everything I needed. Their genuine hospitality and attentiveness truly made my experience memorable.

We had the bangers/mash and the steak pie. For £1 less the bangers had a lot less eating. Tasted good but it was a bit disappointing.

Great pub great atmosphere and friendly staff

Nice pub for grub , prices ok but for the second time very short staffed so a long wait for food, which unfortunately came cold. Worth a visit when you get back to the top of the hill but make sure you have plenty of time left on your parking.

After a 9 mile walk we were glad to make our reservation. Fantastic location, great decor, dog friendly in the front section of the bar.

Called in for lunch . Food was amazing, fabulous service. Compliments to the chef

The staff here are so grumpy! We've honestly had more fun at a funeral. Where on earth did they find the new landlords and the tall lad who grunts at you. They don't play music anymore so you end up whispering so other people don't listen to your conversations. It's as if they don't want to have customers. If you are that miserable and grumpy you shouldn't be working in a pub

Very nice meals but no dessert.. just a few cakes on Bar ..

Visited the black bull while staying in Haworth. It's a warm welcoming pub and the people and staff a very friendly, they have a good selection of beers and spirits and a good selection of food on the menu. It is one of the most haunted pubs in Haworth but we did not experience anything. Would definitely recommend a visit.

I love this place, always a good atmosphere and excellent surroundings.

Super friendly staff. Great food. Great atmosphere. Open mic Thursday nights, kareoke every other week. Weekly quiz. Plenty on. Great location!

Pre-booked for mothers day. Great busy and cosy atmosphere. Lovely decor. Friendly staff. The food is top quality, we will definitely be going back 😋.

One of the best pubs in Haworth

A busy pub at the top of the main street in Haworth. Nice atmosphere with friendly staff. We didn't eat but it was extremely popular with lots of people having a meal.

Had the double cheese burger with bacon my partner had pie chips and peas and her father had the double cheese burger with pulled brisket we all loved it

do you have a Guinness pump and prices for your beers

We had food there and it was really nice. Staff very friendly, busy place, welcomes pets. Great place where to stop for a drink or something to eat.

Went for a pub lunch .. We hand the Cumberland sausage and mash the sausage were over cooked and tasted like they had been sitting around for hours it was instant mash potatoes a tiny scoop and it was cold well over priced a 15. 95 . The staff couldnt force a smile .

Had a couple of drinks Friday evening and it was very nice ok choice of beer. Would recommend

Staff appeared not interested when they couldn't cater for us (gluten free) - even soup was a challenge. Landlord/Landlady looked disinterested in even serving drinks. Entire experience felt awkward Wish we'd not bothered. Pub appears to play on the reputation of the village - I only made an exception for this place based on other reviews (pinch of salt in future)

The pub its self if really nice and the staff are great, however the hoard of clearly underage chavs drinking pints and screaming at customers did somewhat ruin my pint. The group of children were no older than 15, and did nothing but try and antagonise other customers, shouting and screaming about other customers being “c**ts” amongst other colourful things. It’s a shame really because like I said, the service and the pub its self is actually really nice.

nice pint of landlord. really nice place

We went to the black bull about 4 weeks ago for our lunch and decided to book Christmas dinner for 3 of us on Christmas Day at a cost of £80 each.and was offered a table in a good spot. When we arrived on Christmas Day we were offered a different table to the one we had booked so therefore didn’t feel comfortable but didn’t complain as the pub was full and the staff were very busy. When the food came the starter wasn’t too bad but when then the main course came it wasn’t very warm the veg were very dry I think they had been roasted and the turkey was in the form of a rolled joint with seasoning in the middle (rather like one of Bernard Mathews joints) I did eat my meal because I was conscious of what was paid but my other family members couldn’t eat there’s they said it was disgusting. We expected a proper Christmas dinner with real slices of turkey and traditionally cooked veg. We were so looking forward to our meal only to be greatly disappointed with what we received for £240 and will not be going here again. We felt like we were squeezed in as an extra and vastly overcharged for what we received. Should have gone to brewers fryer instead would have been much cheaper for a better quality meal.

What a great place to pop in for a drink and food. The whole atmosphere was amazing with very welcoming staff who were happy to chat, excellent selection of beers and spirits.

Quality pub with really helpful staff and the best young waitress working hard to see to every table possible, nothing we asked was too much trouble for her. Such a delightful young lady a real credit to the pub. This is a destination pub and will be busy with tourists as it should be. Mark Pemberton

If you're looking for a place t' eat; go to T' Black Bull

Lovely atmosphere. Cosy vibes in pub. Rooms lovely. Appreciated the bottled water in the room. Breakfast lovely but didn't realise you had to pay with it being advertised as B&B. Food in the evening, the turkey sandwich was actually really fatty but overall edible. Landlord very jolly and happy. Was extremely busy with it being a Christmas event weekend but they still managed to be cheerful.

Pleasent staff nice food not that expensive

Nestled under Haworth's splendid church in the "Bronte Quarter", and less than 2 minute's walk from Bronte Parsonage Museum, The Black Bull on Main Street benefits from strong custom. The Inn features a traditionally stocked bar, and good menu choices to suit pockets. For those who negotiate Haworth's vertiginous High Street, the Black Bull's appeal as a place for respite for the short of breath is obvious. Buyer beware though - Branwell Bronte found succour at the Black Bull, and his favourite chair and reportedly Branwell's ghost are still there to enjoy - or not!

We had lunch here, and it was dire. Even though it was early in the day, 3 of the items we wanted to order were not available. The food was decidedly average, the chilli was more like Bolognese and had no beans in it at all. The young man serving us was very nice and I felt a little sorry for him constantly having to come and tell us things weren't available. On the whole not an eating experience to write home about.

Great pub with a good selection of beers and food

Lovely pub, tasty food, friendly staff & perfect location.

Large pub right by the church in the middle of the village. Decent range of beers and the food was pretty good. Dog friendly in all but one of the areas inside. Cracking views from the tables outside. Not the friendliest staff even though the pub wasn't very busy.

I wish I'd read the other reviews first because the food is horrendous. I had the butter milk chicken burger, which came undercooked and soggy, stone cold chips and a 'side salad' was shredded lettuce, my partner had a halloumi burger which wasn't much better- decided not to finish in fear of food poisoning. Complete waste of money, and spoilt an otherwise great day in Howarth. Such a shame as it's a beautiful pub with lots of history, but I guess they rely on that to get people in and have a big enough tourist flow to not bother listening to feedback. Giving it two stars as the beer was alright and the lady who served seemed friendly. I'd suggest popping in for a pint if you're a Brönte/Haunted pub completest but definitely swerve the overpriced food!

We maybe got an off night - it was very quiet and looked lovely on the outside. Staff were friendly but the food was not good. The lasagna came cold, though it was taken to be replaced and came back hot. Even then, it was dry but at least had plenty meat. The garlic bread was inedible, had no actual garlic, seemed like just garlic salt and powder cheese. The burger was better but a really small portion for the price. At £15 each the meals were disappointing. The beer was standard but the wine was clearly old. Not sure I'd recommend based on our experience - judging by other reviews there might be things on the menu that are better, but we wouldn't go back to find out.

Only stayed for foo. But oh my it was gorgeous!!! Steak pie full to the brim of meat! Chips so yummy. Sausage ring …nom nom. Mash 🤤 sticky toffee pudding oh my. So light and delicious!

Stunning village, beautiful old pub. Didn't want to leave

On entering the Black Bull the decor, range of beers and ambience will lead you to believe that you've stumbled upon one of Howarth's finest, however, when the food arrives this will all change, in fact, such was my disappointment in the quality of food that I actually felt more like someone was trying to commit a crime against me, my visit was at lunch time and I opted for the Braised Beef priced at around £13 with chips an additional £3 if you wanted them, the menu suggested what I was about to receive was rich braised beef, pipping hot served moist within homemade brown bread, instead what I got was cold dry beef in 2 slices of shop bought brown bread that had been grilled on a dirty griddle. Clearly I sent it back (in fact our whole table sent the food back) The Black Bull could be a gem and new kitchen team and owners who put quality at the heart of everything they do and it will be great, until then avoid at all costs for food!!

Absolutely disgusting service , we went to the black bull in Haworth for a meal, where we were sat next to 2 women who were very loud. ! Which was NOT BOTHERING US. !! but just before they left , one of them had the nerve to say WE WERE TOO LOUD. !!! and my phone was disturbing them. ! As they were on there way out. Then the waitress came up to us and told me to turn my phone off. !!! By this time I had had enough, I said to my friend, come on we are leaving. My friend had paid by this point , I said to the waitress put the money back on her card and we would go find a public house where we would get treat properly. !! To which she replied, you can go, and your NOT WELCOME HERE AGAIN. !! I said no AMOUNT OF MONEY could get me through your door again. !! END OF. . STAY CLEAR OF THE BLACK BULL IN HAWORTH.

Very good place to stay. Very clean, very friendly and very helpful.

0/5 Went bank holiday Sunday for drinks only and the staff were absolutely disgraceful,no please or thank you...even came to launching a pint glass in a bin after I took a drink back because it was flat..😠

Chaotic. Terrible service. We ordered food and drinks for 4 adults and 5 children. After 20 minutes no drinks had arrived but the tables around us had all been served. We went to the bar and got our drinks. 5 minutes later 7 meals arrived. We enquired where 2 of the childrens meals were. 15 minutes later they told us we had already had them, when we clearly hadn't. They then went away and came back to say they hadn't been ordered. We had checked with our waiter and he had counted 9 meals and drinks. How hard is it to train staff?

Dog friendly, good food and nice ale.

Just called in for one drink but will go again. Nice pub with pleasant staff.

Tasty food, large portions & reasonably priced. Friendly, helpful staff. Really clean. Just what we needed after a walk to the falls. Highly recommended.

We called in here Sunday afternoon just for a drink.

Portions are big. They do a small adult portion too but it is almost as big as the full adult portion. For the small chicken roast dinner, the small one only had 1 less roast potato;) Friendly and helpful staff.

It seems that the planned refurbishment never happened, and the place is believed to be up for sale again.

I stayed in the flat above Emma's Cafe this past weekend, so the Black Bull is directly opposite. A decent place to come for a drink with a friendly atmosphere.

My wife and I decided to have a trip up to West Yorkshire and stay in the lovely and historic village of Haworth. As we were strolling down the main street, we felt very hungry and thirsty and decided to pop in for a pint and some food. What an appalling mistake we made. Hardly any beer, no monetary change in any form, so we had to use a card and to top it off, the food was horrendous. We ordered the "home made" pies. NOT home made at all. My wife makes home made pies all the time for various functions, and these had the tell tale signs of supermarket bought pies as the pastry had the indents from an aluminium pie tin. At £12.95, you are being thoroughly exploited. Don't be fooled. As we looked around, the food on other people's tables looked equally awful, including the clearly sad, clearly frozen, not home made children's nuggets etc. The very friendly and very pretty Australian woman inquired how our food was and we didn't have the heart to tell her, (as she was running around trying to serve everyone not only in the restaurant but also the bar), that our "home made" pies were indeed horrible. In all honesty, we did eat most of it as we were by that stage starving, but really, at £12.95, the landlords should be ashamed. After lunch and a pleasant stroll, we did indeed come back to The Black Bull as it was on our way back to our cottage, for an evening drink, only to walk into a very noisy argument between the landlords. The Australian lass was clearly worried and embarrassed and apologised at length to not only us but also to the other patrons who decided to walk out., not wanting to be part of such childishness. A local man at the bar explained to my wife and I that this sort of thing happens all the time between the landlord and landlady. In short, there are far, far better and more inviting pubs, cafes and restaurants in Haworth, all of which I'm sure will have actual homemade food and a pleasant atmosphere. The only good thing about our visit to The Black Bull was the friendly Australian, who we both agreed, is much too good to be in a place like The Black Bull. You are spoiled for eating choices in Haworth. Don't waste your precious time or precious money in this sad establishment.

Well I’ve just been forced to pay a £170 parking fine following a drink at the Black Bull in November 2018. I was on holiday with my husband and parent in laws and we popped in for a drink. We didn’t realise that you had to tell the bar staff that you had parked in the car park, they never asked and we paid cash. Two weeks later I received a £60 fine. No worries I thought I’ll phone the landlady who will understand, I also had photo’s with times and dates showing we were in the pub. She wasn’t interested and told me to appeal it, which I did. The appeal was rejected but I never received the letter from ZZPS and so received a £170 fine 2 weeks ago. I have spoken to the parking ombudsman but because I didn’t appeal within 28 days of the letter (which I can’t prove I didn’t get) I have to pay the fine or it just will keep going up. I feel really let down and would tell anyone, do not go to this pub unless you want to risk a £170 fine. NEVER AGAIN. I’m not the first, see other people’s comments, don’t let it be you!

Went into the Black Bull today for a drink to catch up with family whilst visiting the UK . We spoke with Kristen behind the bar and she was really welcoming and friendly ( great Aussie humour and friendly attitude ) although we didn’t have a meal she was more than happy to assist us with food if needed . She was really informative regarding the history of The Black Bull ! Thanks Kristen was lovely meeting you. Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi ☺️

Rare day off today so decided to take a trip to Howarth and to have something to eat out and about.

Not sure what these other folk are on about. The service was fabulous and Kristen, one of the ladies working was extremely welcoming and informative when it came to the history of the pub. Really recommend going here since the service was great, food was delicious and it’s very central.
