Black Bull in Northumberland

Superb fish and chips and mulled wine. Quick and friendly service. Highly recommended after and nice walk on Hadriens wall.

The black bull is my favourite pub for food the food is literally unbelievable the staff & service is always good. We visited today as a family the steak & ale pie was amazing. My only issue was the female toilets they were all blocked & when I mentioned it to the staff they didn't seem to know. So we had a bit of a wait to use the disabled toilet.

Me and my boyfriend decided on a little dinner date over at corbridge and we booked in here. The interior was really nice and cosy with comfortable booths with cushions. The staff were lovely and took our order quickly. The menu was quite big and there was a range of prices however it was mostly between £13-£20 which was reasonable for the portion sizes we received. We paid in total £45 for the two meals and two drinks. Seems like it could get busy quickly so I would advise to book in advance.

Really nice Sunday lunch, service was good, staff were friendly and very helpful. The pub itself had a nice atmosphere it was relaxing had traditional furnishing and log burning fires. We had beef on the bone and a beautiful desert to follow, wine and beer and all at a very competitive prices. Definitely recommend

Booked a family meal for xmas day as we had been there before was really looking forward to this. the table was booked for 16.00 i ordered prawn cocktail with warm smoked salmon , steak medium and cheese board. my prawn cocktail arrives on a plate which consisted of 2 prawns with the tails on (chewy) with a teaspoon on sauce on each and two pieces inch square salmon covered on a load of green salad (disappointed) steak being medium was chewy, the lovely gentleman serving us asked if we would like a breather before desert which we agreed to, after about 10 minutes asked if we were ready which we were desert arrived cheese board cannot be ate in a hurry, the young lady kept coming to the table to see if we were finished, in the end i put down my knife she come straight over to ask if we were finished which i said well it looks like we have to be and the plates were taken away. i suggest if your staff want to get away you do not have a 4pm serving

Usually the staff are helpful and the service prompt. However today’s experience has put us off coming back. We are still waiting for our food after over an hour and 15 minutes. A simple family lunch on a slow Friday afternoon. It is not complicated. Very disappointing

Very enjoyable! Beautiful food and great service and ambience. We love the Black Bull!

Some of the best pud food I’ve had in years. Great selection of guest ales too. Kid and dog friendly

Lovely attentive staff,however,our meal arrived a significant time after the rest our party but when it did it was nice and hot and we enjoyed it.lovely cosy atmosphere and enjoyed the festive decorations which put us in Christmas 🎄 mood 😀

It was a birthday treat for our daughter young man that served us was very good excellent.

Good food and drink, friendly, helpful staff.

Great atmosphere, the staff were great and loved having our dog there.

Lovely place, great food, brilliant customer service. Would love the black Bull as our local.

Went for Sunday dinner and it didn't disappoint. The meat and veg were spot on. The only issue was the kids pizza which isn't the best quality. Abit like the Chicago town pizzas you can get. The butternut soup was amazing aswell

I called in a week ago with a couple of friends, and the food was that good, I came back on Friday with my wife, and the food, service, and atmosphere were just as good. Would highly recommend, and we'll be back 👍

Had Sunday lunch here on visit to Corbridge. Staff were very friendly and food was great. Highly recommended.

Food nice but small portions I would expect to get fries included for the price I paid

Great food and service. I would highly recommend this pub.

Great food, excellent service, recommend the chicken & ham hock pie 🥧

Lovely pub, lovely ambience & friendly staff. Will visit again

Super cosy, fires on, good food and selection of drinks and the staff are super!

Excellent service and food. Served by Blake who was fantastic. Could not have helped more. We had Venison Burger and a scampi and chips - thank you

A warm and friendly welcome with a good selection of hearty meals.

We went at about 5 on a Saturday for an early dinner after a walk. We’d been there once or twice before but not for a long time. The bar was full with a lovely warm lively atmosphere. Our four different meal choices were all delicious, the waiters were excellent and altogether it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Very friendly service and lovely atmosphere. Nice food - portion of gammon was small and child’s pizza didn’t have much taste burn everything else was lovely.

Fast service, amazing food and amazing staff

We were so sadly disappointed after looking forward to trying this nice looking pub for lunch, the food could of been better presented, the food was cold, gravy on the roast meal was thin and not much of it, cabbage raw and potatoes not roasted, the yorkshire pud not fully cooked inside, beef was cold and overcooked, the squid was overcooked and stringy, served on a huge plate with a large dish of garlic mayo and wilted rocket, really disappointed with the whole meal. Staff seemed harassed and one got the feeling that it was serve and hope diners would make room for others waiting, patrons are easily pleased if they deem to return.

Local típico, muy agradable. Mucha gente local, lo cual siempre es un buen síntoma. Muy buena atención, con personal muy comprensivo con nuestro pobre nivel de inglés. Comida muy rica: verdura a la parrilla exquisita y pie de carne igual de bueno. Parada indudable en el camino del Muro de Adriano si paras en Corbridge

Went for early dinner both had steak and ale pie.Pie looked large when it came but when you cut into it there was only 3 pieces of meat of which were chewy. When the bar man came over to ask if everything was alright we told him about the pies and he asked if he would like the pies replacing told him I didn't see the point if the 2 pies we already had where empty Don't think we will be going back very disappointed!

Party of 4 adults, Sunday lunch, October 13th. We all agreed that this was the worse Sunday lunch we had had. 1, beef, 1 trio of meats and 2 Pork. The meat was tough, 3 tiny hard roast potatoes, a teaspoon size portion of mashed swede and under cooked cabbage..not al dented, undercooked. As we all had a small amount of gravy we asked if we could have extra gravy..we received half a gravy boat between the 4 of us. Even the Yorkshire puds were tough. On the plus the service was very good but will definitely not be back 4, Sunday lunches, 2 deserts and 4 drinks £120.00. I left feeling as though I had been mugged!!

Really sorry to be going against the general reviews but my latest experience was very disappointing which is a shame as previous visits have been good. Six of us booked for Sunday lunch (October 2024) and arrived on time and were shown directly to our table and provided with menues. We had to request aftet15+ minutes to place our order which then took 45min to be served. The Sunday lunch was on this occasion presented in a sloppy way, meat tough and fatty, veg luke warm and small in portion size considering the cost, and Yorkshire puddings rubbery. It felt like the the food and been cooked and sat under heat lamps for a long time and wasn't really enjoyable. The gravy offered to the table was not enough for 2 let alone 6, however this was rectified once we asked for more as were the condiments. Some of the party ordered the same option only for the plates to be different is quantity of food - one plate had 1 x parsnip while another had 3, 1 plate had no '"pigs in blanket" while another had 2, one plate 2 roast potatoes another 4. Overall a disappointing visit this time around although I'm sure I will go again, but maybe not for Sunday lunch - it felt like they were overstretched and the quality suffered

A lovely pub. The food was great (chips weren’t quite to our liking, but nothing to complain about), and the service couldn’t have been better.

Always good food, excellent and friendly service, pleasant surroundings. We had a lovely evening.

Beautiful pub, very welcoming staff.

- food wasn’t very exciting. Pie was undercooked and vegetables were hard. Chicken burger was tasteless and messy. - slow and confused service- people kept forgetting our order and then the card machine broke so we had to wait around to pay. - people in the restaurant were constantly complaining. It was too dark and then too bright. Passive aggressive comments from the waiter about other staff members and also our choices of order. This place is nothing like it used to be!

Great steak pie fresh vegetables 😋 only downside was frozen chips

Food great.....beer exceptional and staff attentive and friendly

Really nice meal at Th Black Bull with good service. My daughter spilt her drink and it was replaced FOC which was a nice touch. Standard high quality pub grub with a good selection of drinks.

Lovely meal, and the staff were great. The Black Bull has a really good atmosphere, with good food, comfortable seating and a good range of beers.

Food was fantastic. The staff were very attentive and a great atmosphere.

The meal I had was excellent, everything cook to the highest standard, well done the Chef.

Didn't do real chips but the rest food was very nice. The waiter Aaron new his stuff and was very helpful 5*

Lovely Atmosphere and food smells amazing

Great pub with restaurant . They accommodated both my husband ( who has allergies) and me who is just generally fussy !! Tasty food, nice ambience and friendly staff ( particular shout out to Samuel who was friendly and professional 😀) Defo worth a visit…

Excellent service and food. Staff friendly and attentive. Food hot and plenty of it. Thank you for an excellent experience.

Place was nice and staff were friendly but food was very disappointing weatherspoons standard frozen fair which I don't have a problem with at spoons but not what I expected from a country pub.

Wonderful staff, food, and atmosphere. Highly recommended 😊

I was really pleasantly surprised. The late lunch there was excellent experience. Desserts were just outstanding. 5 out of 5 for everything.

Not the best Sunday lunch I've had.....beef was extremely over cooked as was my partners fish and fries....could do a lot better and they weren't busy....good staff though

Sorry for previous review, wrong establishment. This black bull is in a delightful little village we just so happened to pass through. Staff were friendly and very welcoming. We were seated promptly. The squid starter was absolutely amazing!! And the garlic mayo dip was extremely tasty. Tyhe pub was very traditional and very busy, but food was still served quickly. Would definitely recommend to anyone passing by the area!!!

This place is a hidden gem 👌🙌❤️ My partner took me here along with our boys on Sunday for a Sunday lunch was absolutely stunning service and the food was absolutely gorgeous outstanding will definitely be back thank u 😊 also asked another customer if they had any allergies witch I was really impressed with thank u for a gorgeous meal

Lovely pub perfect for Sunday lunch. Impeccable service & food spot on. What more could you ask for? I highly recommend. Definitely an address to remember.

Gorgeous cooked breakfast. I had the veggie option ( sausages/patties were fabulous) , husband had the meaty option. Both were delicious. Staff were pleasant and attentive, food was hot and tasty and the coffee was good. Booked online but it was very quiet. Will definitely be visiting again.

Nice pub with good food and friendly service.

First pub meal after moving to the area. Really good food, especially the selection of imaginative vegetarian options. Reasonable price and excellent service. Well kept pint of ale too and alcohol free options. What's not to like?

Great friendly staff, good food. A great meal, thank you Aaron

A thoroughly lovely pub, with excellent food and a great atmosphere. Despite being very bust our food arrived quickly and was very tasty. Easily the best chicken burger I've had. They also have a very good selection of real ales and being dog friendly is the icing on the cake. Truly couldn't fault the place.

Staff we’re friendly, nice atmosphere. The Sunday lunches were a let down must have stood for a good while as served on cold plates which meant a cold dinner. The pork was somewhat tough and chewy.. There was one of the dinners not plated up properly with no roast potatoes as expected. Such a shame as this pub was recommended by one of the locals.

Sunday dinner is one of the worse I have had in a while. Roasties were clearly frozen or from the week before. Would not come back.

Exactly what we were looking for a friendly well appointed pub with resteraunt and great helpful staff. My Dad and all the family generations had a fabulous night to remember , nit rushed but well attended too just what tge Doctor ordered 👍. 10/10 . Just as good and food fab a really credit to Green King. Staff friendliness really stands out .

Had a perfect lunch here. Pubby but quiet atmosphere, good menu, delicious food, friendly service. We would definitely come back.

Meal was nice enough but frozen chips weren't the best. The misses said the potato was smash and not proper mashed potato

Super meal 2 courses £16.50... .3 courses £19.50. Generous portions. Faultless.

Lovely place, great food and pint!

Great food, lovely staff, very comfotable lunch time treat

Roast beef was good but carrots were nearly raw.

Great place with honest pub grub. Nice atmosphere inside and served with a smile. Not many places like this left and would easily go and sample more of the food on another visit. Al food served fresh and quickly

Brilliant bar brilliant food. Fantastic Sunday lunch too. Recommend

Been my regular for a year great pub lovely staff also a good bookshop

What a lovely place! Food excellent, tasty & well presented. The staff are wonderful, lovely Conor behind the bar was charming & helpful. Took some photos but my camera skills leave a lot to be desired and do not do the food justice! (Plus we started to eat before I remembered to take photos!) Reasonable prices, good portion sizes & delicious. You may need to book as it did get busy, which is not a huge surprise given the lovely food. The waitress was very lovely too, did not get her name, over all a very pleasant evening.

The Black Bull is a welcoming pub in the heart of Corbridge with good service. It proved a cosy place for lunch with friends. I opted for the Signature Burger which was served with skin-on fries and onion rings. My one negative criticism is that the onion rings portion was quite small. Overall, though, I enjoyed visiting.

We called in late on our way back from a day out, and after being turned away elsewhere further afield, the staff were very accommodating. We understood that it was very close to last serving time, yet they still allowed us to have something to eat. The place was very clean and the staff were lovely.

The Sunday Lunch was absolutely delicious!! Quick service and able to take our dog in. Really enjoyed it, just wish it was closer to home as we'd be very regular visitors!

Sunday early evening meal. 4pm booking..Ordered food…told meat was off menu, then after placing order told no Turkey. Surly as they use I pads they should know when ordering that items are not available…Gammon horrendously salty, pineapple was thinner than a tissue….the pie chicken, leek and cheese was so dry. The sea basss was over loaded with a very non discrip sauce, it was very odd tasting, thick,glupy.and just no flavour , it was ordered with no butter nor capers, yet capers were within the sauce r..All our veg was either raw or just not cooked at all.the chips tasted “stale”..like old chips partly cooked and just tiny bit warmed….sadly this is the second time visiting with family whereby we are extremely embarressed with the quality of food. Service ,

Dined as part of a party of four. Great food and ambience. Would be very happy to return.

£4 for a "mini steak pie" bar snack that was dried up and rock hard. Less than impressed.

An old af purity. Black Bull always a good option for family meal. Atmospheric and good food, friendly staff recommended

Lovely atmosphere and good food! Amazing puddings and lovely coffee. Great service from Blake and others. Thanks very much 🙏🏻

Nice place, reasonable prices but for goodness sake GET THE DOGS OFF THE SEATS, I’ve just eaten in there!!

We went for a light lunch in the Black Bull on 25th June as it was dog friendly. It was a lovely experience. Very nice clean pub, great friendly service and excellent food. I ordered a cheese toastie and was amazed at the size of it and was really tasty, without doubt the best toastie I have had to date. Would definitely recommend and will certainly visit again. Well done and thanks to all the staff for giving us such a good experience.

Lovely atmosphere in the pub and really friendly and helpful staff. I'm gf and nothing was too much trouble for them. All four of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals and all the plates went back empty, the deserts were delicious, not good for the figure but I was on holiday!

A lovely pub, had an excellent lunch, the desserts are delicious.

Delicious food and friendly staff

Popped in for a quick drink . Good service and friendly

Food was fantastic. I had the mixed grill which was incredible. However my friend had the pie, which gave me instant jealousy as it looked incredible. The atmosphere is superb. What a lovely pub to sit in. Could have easily spent all day in there. So comfortable. The music was nice background noise, perfect noise level. Staff were superb. Very friendly, quick and just generally all round fantastic service. The plates were cleared quickly as soon as they knew we were finished and the plates were just getting in the way. Honestly great pub, Ill happily go out of my way to go back. Corbridge is lovely anyway, but this just adds to it

Lovely little pub. Delicious food. Excellent service from Lucy. Thank you.

What a lovely pub. Lived up to its reviews. Really cosy atmosphere and great service. Lovely nooks and crannies to sit in as well as a nice restaurant area. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic meal well worth driving 2 hours to get there. The food was amazing and the staff were really friendly. Would highly recommend.

Great pub, nice atmosphere and lovely food! Can recommend!

Great atmosphere and good position in Corbridge for popping in for a spot of lunch and a G&T

Excellent dog friendly pub, great meal 👍

Totally satisfied all round, I would recommend it ,excellent.

Very cozy pub, dog friendly, good whisky selection 👍. Saturday 18 May 2024

Great atmosphere on a match day

Popped in for lunch had two small dogs with us, so we requested sitting outside. Food looked good and tasted delicious. My husband ordered the gammon , I ordered the seabass. Would definitely recommend and if we are ever in the area again would return.

The pub is well laid out and had a nice atmosphere even early on a Saturday afternoon. The food was well cooked and they had some items which were specials to the pub.

Excellent breakfast. Service was friendly and efficient. Will return soon .

Great food and friendly and polite staff would happily recommend 👍

Sadly not as good as it used to be

Had a lovely Breakfast here, the ingredients were of a high quality and everything was very tasty,the staff were friendly and attentive without being intrusive, looking forward to visiting again
