Black Bull Hotel in Eden

Ordered Fish and chips and Steak pie and chips - along with 1.5 pints of cider. £34 and some pence. Fish was so wet the batter underneath was mush and inedible, the “chips” were fries, cheap frozen ones. Apparently the steak pie was good so that earned you 2 stars. There was no salt to be found anywhere but an uncleared table and that was so wet it wouldn’t come out of the holes (I took the bottom off and tipped it into my hand) I went in to tell them how unhappy I was with my meal, but the one lad who had been serving had gone and nobody covering.

Very Poor Food (After Waiting 70 Minutes) Dark Dingy Restaurant, Not A Word From The Bar Staff After Taking The Order. No Sorry For The Wait or Even Acknowledging That We Were Getting Annoyed... Pretty Obvious That Orders Are Done One By One.. Expensive For Rubbish Food. Never Again !

Visited here for lunch and myself and my wife both had fish and chips, this is our 3rd visit and have always found the food good and the staff friendly..would recommend...

Limited menu, online version out of date Helpful staff member Dull, dark restaurant. Didn't appear tables had been re-set, lacking in cutlery and some condiments Food was pretty good, hot and tasty All round ok. Pretty average

Friendly staff, made to feel welcome. Excellent food and good value. There was a good atmosphere. I will certainly visit again.

Encontramos a la familia para una escapada juntos antes de Navidad para una comida a medio camino entre todos nosotros.Habíamos reservado una mesa, y el servicio era amable y rápido.Aunque el menú del almuerzo es bastante pequeña, cada uno tenía una pinta estupenda, y el consenso general fue que eran fabulosos. Recomiendo el pescado y patatas fritas o pastel de carne y guinness. Las patatas fritas eran caseros con pieles de yum.Los budines y té/café era tan buena y el ambiente en el pub era genial.Sin duda visitar aquí de nuevo!

The food was much much better than I expected. It is a great place to stop off when driving across the A66. Friendly and clean. It was a bit quite on a Monday evening which was a shame but didn't matter.

Almorcé aquí hace dos días con nuestros visitantes de centeno. No he comido aquí por un tiempo, pero debo decir que la comida era excelente, muy fresco y muy bien presentada. Que todos disfrutamos, no dudaría en recomendar el Black Bull para el almuerzo o la cena y por supuesto la cerveza.

We stayed for one night staff were extremely accommodating and friendly evening meal was very nice lovely clean warm room nice breakfast only thing that could of made better would of been an 11am checkout will return thanks

No nos quedamos aquí, pero tenía una bebida en el pub en varias noches durante nuestro viaje. Un encantador bar cálido antiguo con una excelente selección de cervezas. Pub no es el más barato que hemos visitado, pero muy acogedor, y el bar señoras era encantador y eficiente. Los terratenientes perrito es una adición encantadora! !

Stopped off for lunch today, friendly service from the barmaid. Steak pie, haddock and a Black Bull burger, hit the spot washed down with a pint, recommended 🍴 🍺🍻

Had a couple of drinks here, pleasant barmaid but seemed more a locals pub which can be a bit off putting.

After a seven day coast to coast walk and sampling a different places for evening meals each night I was blown away by the food quality on offer at this delightful, unassuming pub. Smoked haddock and pea risotto for £10.00. Great quality. Very friendly unfussy service. A gem of a place. The best on my seven day trip.

We couldn't get in for dinner our first night in Kirkby Stephen due to a large function, but the place had been recommended so we made a reservation for the following night. Service was quite slow, but the food was good.

Very nice dinner here with an excellent lamb terrine and also the fish cakes. My ribeye steak was perfectly cooked. Note: the restaurant is so popular so I recommend making a reservation rather than just show up at the door.

Everything would be really good about this venue if the menu was a little more broad in its appeal. The fish choice was battered or fishcakes. However service was good and it is a very pleasant dining room.

Comimos en el Black Bull dos noches funcionando porque la comida era tan buena la primera vez. Entre los cuatro, tuvimos eglefino, cerdo y torta de carne, además de un par de aperitivos y dulces, todo era fantásticamente preparado toda la carne únicamente cuando cayó aparte toqué con el tenedor, que estaba muy bien hecho. Las comidas eran de un buen tamaño (teniendo en cuenta que era una mesa de agricultores de hambre!), muy bien presentada, con servicio rápido y fabuloso.

Staff were nice if busy. Food about what you would expect. Beer cold. No disappointments, no surprises

Beautiful food, reasonably priced, best chips ever! Friendly atmosphere, dog friendly will definately visit again

Excellent base for a group of people who had finished their coast to coast walk and had very enjoyable meal in excelllent surroundings

Visitamos el Black Bull dos veces en nuestra semana, ambas veces el personal era muy amable y servicial (6 de nosotros con un usuario de silla de ruedas y 2 perros!!) La comida era excelente, tanto en visitas, especialmente el pastel de carne y guinness, que era increíble!!! Los precios en consonancia con la zona (hamburguesas 9,95 GBP £12.95) torta de carne pero porciones decentes, así que no hay quejas de nosotros. Sin duda volveremos en algún momento gracias

Tenía una lasaña vegetariana deliciosa, ricotta, espinacas, champiñones y tomate. Muy sabroso, con un montón de hierbas y servido caliente. Normalmente, creo que tienes que reservar, pero llegamos 6 y entramos. Mi marido comió pastel de carne con cerveza y dijo que estaba delicioso.

Nos alojamos por una noche. No soy quisquilloso pero realmente pensó que era por debajo del estándar. Las habitaciones son pequeñas, la cama era ridículamente suaves (y yo como una cama blanda), el baño estaba bien, pero ni siquiera suministro decente, champú y artículos de cosas tipo de acondicionador. No me hubiera importado nada de esto pero... El anfitrión era una de las personas más desagradable que he conocido y en realidad bastante polémica - me alivió para salir y no lo recomendaría.

Food looked good but was very blend. The staff is very nice and friendly. We dinned in the green wall paper room which was full of light but felt completely "detached" from the main pub. the desert was disappointing as well.

Usual pub looked like a locals place but it was nice inside. An ok selection of ales. Free wi-fi and

Went straight into the dining room which was empty and lacked atmosphere so had a drink (or two) in the bar and then went through to eat. Dining room pretty full, lots of atmosphere, excellent food. Best risotto I've eaten ever!

Stayed for two nights, great food off the evening meal menu, comfortable beds, best breakfast we have ever had in all our years coming to the Lake District 👍😀

We ate here for both nights of our stay as the food was so good. I don't eat meat but there were several non-meat meals to choose from on the menu.

Tengo que visitar si estás en la zona, la torta de carne, lo que no es un pastel es uno de los mejores que he tenido!!! Es esencial un filete sobre una cama de papas con champiñones y una tapa de pastelería colocada encima. Toda la comida era muy buena y el servicio era excelente, el bar de las mascotas, lo que era bueno para nosotros.

Eaten in here a few times in the last year and always had fantastic meals and very good value for money and staff are lovely. We drink in here every Friday night as it so freindly and has good atmosphere.

We booked a table both nights we stayed in Kirkby Stephen as this pub gets busy, we weren't disappointed. Starters were just right size and very good, mains were again portion wise good size and a change from the norm on a pub menue.

We went to the Black Bull from across the road to have a drink with some friends in our group who were staying there. Had a few pints...very relaxing and congenial front bar...that's all I saw.

Muy agradable que daba a la calle principal, probablemente la habitación más grande que tuvimos en toda la costa a costa (uso individual de una habitación con camas individuales).

Pub was great. Make sure to try the 9 standards beer here. Staff was great. Clean. Nice cozy pub to talk about the days hike.

Habitación cómoda, el desayuno es excelente, y el personal es amable y servicial y una experiencia muy agradable todo el año. Me volvería a alojar allí de nuevo. Aparcamiento no es genial, pero no es un problema real.

Hearty meals, good selection of ales and a great atmosphere created by the locals. Easy to locate on the main road near the village centre.

Visitamos aquí ayer después de mirar en Tripadvisor.

Nos mostraron el Black Bull por nuestra anfitriona en nuestro B y B. Personal muy amable. Los cuatro de nosotros estábamos muy impresionados no sólo con la calidad de la comida, pero la presentación de lo que te esperas de un restaurante de alta calidad, normalmente no pub. El servicio era rápido y amable, y no podríamos haber pedido más. Sin duda, un lugar que visitar si estás en la zona

No frills place place to eat, good selection of dishes including vegiatarian all the choices were very nice and well presented. reasonably priced and the service was very quick.

Als je in het hotel verblijft is het logisch om ook hier in de pub te eten. Gewoon standaard Engels pubfood in een leuke sfeer en tegen betaalbare prijs.

We had the pleasure of a booking here in June. The atmosphere was very clean and unusually nice for a pub setting. The food was good and the service English friendly.

Bediening was niet erg handig. Liet lege borden staan. Na het voorgerecht werd als hoofdgerecht weer een voorgerecht opgediend. Het duurde lang nadat het hoofdgerecht kwam. De rest was al klaar met eten. Zalm was rauw van binnen.

Muchas gracias para nosotros el racor en el sábado por la noche. El pastel de carne con cerveza y el pescado y las patatas fritas eran deliciosos.

Estaba pasando por aquí y dejó una pinta y para mi fone. La camarera era muy agradable y acogedor, terminamos quedándonos unas cuantas más pintas y la comida, que era increíble. 100% nuevo si estaba cerca absolutamente fantástico.

Nos alojamos aquí en la costa de paseo por la costa y es un excelente lugar para descansar por la noche. El personal es agradable, las habitaciones y excelente comida. Hay mucho que hacer en el pueblo, al menos cuatro pubs, interesante iglesia vieja, chips y varios restaurantes.

Good value for money food , served and plated with style. Some good craft beers and an excellent barmaid and comfortable atmosphere. Just what we needed after a long C2C hike from Shap

We made this our first stopping point for a pint after walking the C2C path from Orton. A very welcoming pub, with some good real ales and a nice atmosphere. Recommended for fellow walkers.

Had a lovely meal here before we started our Coast to Coast walk, the venison loin special was delicious. So much so we booked again for when we came back through on the walk, and we weren't disappointed.

Paramos en Kirkby Stephen en largo viaje a Newcastle y, por casualidad, eligió 'el Black Bull" para comer. Un saludo muy amable del personal, una buena selección de cervezas y una ajetreada (noche del viernes) bar hicieron una cálida bienvenida. Una ale local y recomendado servicio pónganse sidra resultó muy buena y era encontrar una mesa. Teníamos un rápido sirve, excelente comida durante una noche concurrida.

We ate here the night before starting the coast to Coast walk. Great food and generous portions and some great cask ales.

Disfrutamos de una comida encantadora, pero la camarera necesita una formación poco más esperando en las mesas. Ella fue muy agradable y amable pero llevamos nuestros vasos y les dejé apiladas. El vino fue traído, pero ella no abre la botella ni ofrecen a raudales. Este era un restaurante, en el bar no habría importado. Aparte de eso pensé que era bueno. Me encantó la decoración en los aseos - jackie revista empapeladas al otro lado de la pared, muy nostálgico.

El Black Bull tiene una zona de bar y un comedor separado tanto que sirve comida. Decidimos comer en el comedor y tenía sandwiches desde el menú del almuerzo que venía con patatas fritas y ensalada. delgado Hay una buena selección y cada uno de los rellenos está disponible en pan sin gluten, así como la baguette más tradicional!

Tuvimos una estancia de una noche en este hotel. La bienvenida fue muy amable, había un encantador fuego haciendo el bar es muy acogedor y cálido. Tuvimos una comida maravillosa, el desayuno y un gran sueño. Parte de la decoración estaba un poco desgastado pero el personal agradable, ambiente acogedor, buena comida y buen dormir más que compensó por esto. Sin duda nos volveremos a alojar aquí de nuevo si en la zona.

After a day walking in the Eden Valley we stopped at this Pub for lunch. Good food and friendly staff. Roaring Fire too!!

Sólo nos detuvimos en tener una pinta rápida después de registrarnos por encima de la carretera y como perspectiva para la cena. El bar era algo totalmente inesperado, casi una cápsula del tiempo, quizás una pizca de 1950, pero sin quererlo pongan así. Sin embargo, el personal era amable y servicial, y estaba claramente popular entre los lugareños. Simplemente no era el entorno para atraer mi estancia para la cena.

We stopped off just on the off chance on our way home and found a gem, the food was beautiful, I had the pie and the gravey was like going to heaven, thank you

es necesario un medio punto de camino entre lancs y North East, así que elegimos kirkby Stephen. Parecía estar en línea y el Black Bull parecía favorable ya que estaba en Tripadvisor. Llegamos hoy, nos tomamos un café y luego pedimos 4 domingo para llevar. Reservamos en el restaurante, que era muy agradable. La comida en sí fue decepcionante. 2 rodajas de cerdo, 3 asados, una pequeña porción de puré de patatas, 1 pequeñas zanahoria, 2 piezas de brócoli y coliflor

Four of us had a faultless meal on St Valentines Night. Excellent food and the two waitresses were charming. We popped in again the next day for a drink in the bar after a walk and it really is a very friendly place.

Nos quedamos aquí por tres noches en Año Nuevo. El Black Bull es una buena relación calidad-precio. Nos dieron una enorme habitación en el piso de arriba con un baño amplio y limpio, con un montón de espacio para el equipaje y una gran vista de la calle principal. La habitación era cálida y había ropa de cama extra y mantas si la calefacción central no fue suficiente. Allí eran encantadores pequeños detalles como la jarra de caramelos y las galletas estaban cubiertas incluso si no comimos. El desayuno era excelente, recién preparado y abundante. No comimos en el pub aparte del desayuno pero el pub tenía un buen ambiente. En las tres noches que estuvimos allí había un poco de mermelada musical de músicos locales una noche y un concurso de pub en nuestra última noche. Lo único negativo que podría decir es después de tres noches la cama no era tan cómoda como primero pensé.

Con un buen número de elegir, en kirkby Stephen, estuve dudando de decir esto, especialmente porque son bastante más caro; pero la patatas fritas era el mejor que he probado en mucho tiempo.

Buscamos el local; una zona para "perros restaurantes" y se decide sobre el Black Bull.

we had our annual caving Christmas meal here this weekend and it was a brilliant choice as it was also a place for us all to book a room to stay for the night. the staff were friendly and really helpful and looked after us all night. as there was a large number of us, we had pre-booked our food but the staff were happy for us to add a few extra items on when we got there. the food came out quickly and everything tasted delicious and looked brilliant. after the meal, we were going to head into the bar for a few drinks but as it was packed, they let us stay in the dining room and even let us bring the dog in (usually they are only allowed in the bar or the bedroom but it was lonely!) as we were staying for the night, they even let us off with paying until the morning when we were checking out!

We visited as a party of six including two toddlers on Saturday night. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and they made us most welcome, especially with an early sit down time. The food was delicious!

Went today for a Sunday dinner with my 2 year old. Both had roast beef, absolutely spot on, couldn't fault it. Top drawer as always!!

El Black Bull tiene recientemente un nuevo chef bienvenida a la empresa; enfrentó un desafío en consonancia con las normas del antiguo chef y sin duda entregado!

Visitamos durante una hora muy concurrida, 3 día subastas locales de ovejas. Comimos aquí dos días seguidos, después de un almuerzo decepcionante en otro establecimiento en la ciudad en el primer día.

Fuimos para una escapada de fin de semana con mi mujer. No me di cuenta cuando reservamos aunque que la subasta anual de ovejas de Kirby Stephen era en esa semana, así que cuando llegamos la ciudad era muy concurrida y animada. Sin embargo, el pub nos dieron una habitación lejos de la zona principal. Era muy cómodo y tranquilo, (que casi no se oía nada, a menos que nos abrió la ventana y no "observando a la gente", que era bastante entretenido en sí mismo) Kirby Stephen es una encantadora ciudad, varias tiendas, bares y restaurantes. Nos quedamos en el Black Bull, está justo en el centro de la ciudad, cerca de todo, aparcamiento gratuito fuera, depende lo lleno que está y la época del año. Hotel muy limpio y cómodo. Buena comida y cervezas inglesas. Sin duda, lo recomendaría a cualquiera que quiera un rato relajante agradable.

I went to Cumbria as part of a walking group weekend and called at the Black Bull in Kirkby Stephen on Friday at 7.30pm as fellow walkers were dining there. I asked at the bar about ordering a meal and they said they were very busy and I could go elsewhere. This would have meant dining on my own. I explained I was a diabetic on insulin and asked the owner about having a meal. She said she was also diabetic but was unsympathetic so I asked if I could bring something in and have a drink there with the person I knew. From the other end of the bar she shouted 'Get Out' and made a gesture of throat slitting. I was extremely upset and there was no reason for this behaviour. I have never been treated this way in my life. People in the bar were very embarrassed for me and I had no option but to leave. This was astonishing behaviour and I certainly would not recommend this place.

Nos llamado en negar la uno después del mediodía, para preguntar si tenían una mesa para la cena, nos dijeron que estaban llenos pero dijo la señorita detrás del bar se acercaba a ver qué podía hacer por nosotros. Mi esposa y yo nos sentamos y disfrutamos mucho nuestras bebidas y por la forma en que la cerveza era perfecto. El bar estaba cómodamente lleno con los residentes locales, visitantes y caminantes. En general, un ambiente muy agradable y perros eran bienvenido en el bar, pero por supuesto no en el restaurante. Hay una buena selección de periódicos diarios para leer en el lugar, todo muy relajante. El bar en sí es lo que usted esperaría de un antiguo bar de trabajo local, sin lujos adornos simplemente un buen bar rompía.

Lovely Sunday dinner on Bank holiday weekend, very good value & pleasant service. Would definitely go back.

Nos quedamos impresionados con lo mucho este restaurante había mejorado mucho desde nuestra última visita. No habíamos reservado con antelación porque el lugar que habíamos reservado cerrado inesperadamente ese día debido a una fuga de agua, pero nos encontraron una mesa y nos cuidó muy bien. Teníamos casero sopa, seguido de pollo y carne acompañado con cantidades generosas de patatas y verduras. Es un buen lugar para ir si tienes un buen apetito.

We chose to eat in the bar as the restaurant was very quiet. The food was very good and the service excellent.

The Black Bull was recommended by several people in the visitor's book in our holiday accommodation (Platform Cottage, Kirkby Stephen station). They were right - the food was first class and reasonably priced a well.

We were impressed with the friendliness of the welcome, the ambience of the restaurant and the choice and quality of the food. All this at a reasonable price, we would highly recommend the Black Bull.

Comimos aquí el domingo 16 de agosto haber reservado con antelación. El menú de almuerzo de domingo era muy tradicional y cocinado a la perfección. No tuvimos que esperar mucho tiempo para nuestro almuerzo que fue servido caliente con amplios verduras cada uno estaba lleno, pero tanto mi marido y yo pensamos que podíamos meterlo en un postre. nuevo no nos decepcionó, lo disfrutamos. Cuando pase aunque kirkby Stephen otra vez sin duda volveremos.

Nos encontramos con la familia el domingo a mediodía. Pedimos desde el domingo menú. Había una buena selección y los precios estaban bien, con la opción de una, dos o tres "especiales campo'. Todo el mundo estuvo de acuerdo que la comida era deliciosa y bien presentada. El servicio era eficiente y amable. El comedor está decorado de forma sencilla y cómoda.

Normal drinks and an expected atmosphere, the beer garden was really nice in the sun! But the bar tender was very forgetful and couldn't even remember single drinks without having to double or triple check the mixer or alcohol etc every time...

Having walked about 16 miles of the Coast to Coast that day we were delighted to enjoy such a wonderful meal.

Great beer and a lovely menu with delicious food in the dining room. Service is a little lacking but friendly enough.

stayed for 1 night. The room was great, very clean and airy with coffee, tea, biscuits and jelly beans The 2 young girls serving behind the bar were friendly and helpful on booking in. The food in the restaurant was really good with plenty of fresh vegetables and the set menu and room package was a great bargain. Breakfast is served early for non- walkers but again was very good with fish option. We were served by the manager I believe and whilst service was ok it was as another reviewer noted, a little indifferent with little or no interaction during the stay which otherwise would have made this a 5 star review.

Called early evening and decided to order food for two. Good prompt service and delightful meals which tasted very fresh and to a high standard .Very well cooked and presented. Two very satisfied customers. We would be more than happy to eat here again. Well done to the chef and bar staff, keep up the good work.

The very best steak in years! Our b & b host recommended and booked the restaurant. Good bar too with atmosphere.

Very pleasant staff and good meal. I choose a vegetarian option and it had good flavour. There were extra vegetables to go with it which I had not expected.

We picked the two course menu priced £17.50 and it was well worth while. We enjoyed the beef steak in peppercorn sauce with big chips, potatoes and plenty of fresh veg. Hubbie enjoyed his chocolate Jaffa cake dessert, and I ate strawberries, marshmallows, honeycomb with chocolate sauce, delicious! You do need to book!

I was recommended to eat at the Black Bull and I wasn't disappointed. I can't say anything but excellent.

After asking at the local supermarket for a good place to eat in Kirkby Stephens we were directed to the Black Bull. A very good recommendation.All the staff were helpful and welcoming, the restaurant was fully booked but they accommodated us in the lounge area off the bar for an evening meal. The food was absolutely brilliant, the menu varied and the chef is very good. So much so we went back the next night and had an equally good meal, this time in the restaurant area

recently held my wedding reception here, they were very accommodating with the menu, catering to our dietary needs. Room was beautifully set out & staff were very attentive. they even looked after my wedding cake upon delivery. Meals were fabulous & were enjoyed by the entire party. they really helped round off an absolutely wonderful day. also a great place to pop in for a relaxing drink and/or lunch. can't thank them all enough xx

Called in for lunch on our way to Newcastle. Chose to sit in the public bar rather than the restaurant. Décor was basic and I would have liked a wider choice of local craft beers (I had a pint of the Kirkby Lonsdale beer, very nice too!) , but the food was really nice, good portions and the staff were great. Certainly worth considering if you are passing through and would like decent food and a pint.

Had dinner on Sunday evening, turned up unannounced at 6pm and had the place to ourselves. Good steaks, cooked well, lots of chips and vegetables. Really friendly service, reasonably priced

Stopped on our way home from the Lake District. My husband had fish, chips and mushy peas and I had roast beef. service was friendly and the food was hot and tasty.

Stopped here for a meal after traveling home from holiday in Northumbria. Made to feel very welcome friendly man said we could sit where we wanted so picked right near the open fire. Lots to pick from from the menue and excellent children menue. Due to my son feeling poorly didn't order him a meal although was offered extra plate incase he wanted some of our food which was nice as they didn't need to do that. I ordered Cumberland sausage,onion gravy,mash and peas lovely homemade and warm was so tasty. My husband ordered gammon which I also tried and this was sooo tasty. Good value for money,made to feel welcome will return

The food at the Black Bull is my favourite in the area. It is not the cheapest place to eat, but the quality of food is superior to any other pub in the area. I would highly recommend the steak Dianne.

Have visited the Black Bull a few times recently and enjoyed a good meal each time. Prefer eating the restaurant side rather than the pub side. Good value meals.

We were staying at a small country hotel near by and went for a meal with some friends . The food was really good and the service was excellent. The young lady who was behind the bar showed us into the dining room . No one else was in there but that did not matter,, Nothing was too much trouble for the young lady and we will certainly visit again when we are in the area

We visited this pub on a Saturday late afternoon after a long walk locally from Orton. We were a large group of from Aycliffe Fell Walking Club and we filled the lounge. The open fire was welcoming to warm the bones and the welcome from the fella and young lass serving was also welcoming. I was on the coffee (dam that dry January) but the beer was soon flowing, they even ran out of Wainwright as we supped that much! Everyone enjoyed the couple of hours spent in this fine old pub, cheers!

restaurant decor is lovely, service and food was excellent. Quite expensive but fit the finer dining perfectly. Menu is ridiculously huge. Bit confusing and poorly explained. Spent first 20 minutes trying to work out which of the 12 ish menu's we could order from. Bar area and lounge were completely different. Felt like it was a bit of a rough pub. Very dated and unloved with regards to decor. Restaurant delightfulBar and lounge a disaster

I stayed here for one night after completing the coast to coast walk. The restaurant has separate menus depending if their main chef is on duty, if he is you are in for a treat, if not you will still get a good meal.the bar area is friendly and inviting and frequented by many coast to coast walkers exchanging tales of blisters etc. The rooms are very comfortable.There is no laundry service but there is a self service laundry nearby.

Well whats more to say than if you have a great chef a great night will be had! Hang on to him, he's worth his weight in gold!

Lovely menu, including gorgeous veggie options. Food prep magnificent and excellent portions. Nice house wine. Will definitely visit again. All four of our party were thrilled with our meals.

just arrived back from the black bull in Kirkby Stephen, we are here on holiday so we thought we would try this pub as the menus outside sounded really nice. we went early (6.30) the restaurant was empty. we were served with drinks first while we had a look at the menu, there was a vast range of choice special menus for Monday and Tuesday nights, the food was absolutely fantastic , we had fishcakes to start with ,we then had the chicken and salmon which were served with homemade chips , potatoes and vegetables , all came hot and very tasty, followed by death by Jaffa cake and some melted chocolate with strawberries , which was delicious , would definitely recommend the black bull and will return again before we leave.
