Black Bull Inn in Ribble Valley

Went for lunch last week for Birthday celebrations. The Black Bull in Old Langho is only around 25 mins from us, so we thought it would be a lovely birthday treat to go and try the restaurant where the winner of Master Chef Series 17 is the Chef at. We were so thrilled when Dan won, and picked him as the winner from the start. WE WERE NOT DISAPPOINTED!!!! We were looked after very well from the minute we stepped through the door to when we left. The service was excellent - our waiter was very attentive, not intrusive and very professional. The food was excellent - we were a party of four, we each had starter and mains and everyone enjoyed the dishes we chose to eat. The atmosphere was excellent - plenty of space between tables, low hum of chatter and enjoyable background music. The only thing to highlight was, the room we were seated in was a little chilly, even with the fire being lit. Saying that, it was a cold miserable day and I do feel the cold so others may prefer it this way. We would highly recommend you visit if you are in the area, we are sure you will love it too.

Fabulous food on Boxing Day Highly recommended

Great food, great atmosphere. Well worth a visit.

Really decent ‘gastro pub’ food. I went for the non meat dishes which were excellent. I chose olives and hummus topped with Dukka and Ciabatta, yummy; sea food tagliatelle, piping hot and packed with perfectly cooked fish, mussels and prawns, and thankfully cream free, delicious; and coconut maringue with passion fruit and pineapple sorbet, tasty and refreshing. I thought everything was prepared with care and wth good quality ingredients, the portion sizes are really good too, It’s not a fine dining style restaurant that are typified by more courses and smaller plates ( and I’ve been to a few), its just top notch pub restaurant food. My partner had an excellent meal too and we both agreed it was worth the journey. The table staff were very pleasant and competent, my concern was they were somewhat over stretched which meant we had to sometimes ask for additional drinks ( rather than be asked) and we offered to take our bill to the bar to pay as we’d waited to pay longer than we liked

Great Sunday lunch offerings at a very reasonable price for the quality of food provided! Staff were attentive and service was prompt. Would definitely recommend and return!

After my initial disappointment of realising that they do a reduced menu on Sundays and that I wouldn't be able to order the Tbone streak I'd been excited about all week, I instead opted for chicken strips and a cheeseburger, with cheesecake for dessert. Hands down the nicest burger and cheesecake I've ever eaten. I will definitely be back again to get my Tbone Steak. Lovely interior with moody lighting and rustic decor. Very relaxed atmosphere. Staff were nice and helpful. Thanks for a gorgeous meal

Cheese pie good, sea oil tagliatelle, not asked if food is okay once. Wouldn’t recommend

New year's eve, first time for me, and what a great night. Good selection of beers and wines to compliment the lovely food. Nice atmosphere made even better by the singer who gave a great selection of classic songs. Lovely staff despite being distracted by the storm water entering the building! Would definitely go again.

Very welcoming, and no issues with anything, all the staff had correct mannerisms. Please and thank you everytime.

All round very good place to eat. Good portion sizes at a reasonable price for the quality you get. The sticky toffee pudding is a big win!

Food is great though expensive with slow service and rude landlady/manager

Very poor! We have been several times before but today…. JUST NO! Book elsewhere until they sort it out!! waited 45 mins for food, kept getting told “it’s on the pass” for 15 mins, fish and chips were bang average, steak was asked for rare but came medium at best , The chicken jalfrezi had overcooked wooly chicken and the naan was rock hard sons dish was meant to be ‘mac n cheese’ but came as tagliatelle with no sauce and just grated cheese unmelted on top !!! Our sons new dish came 1hr 20 mins after we ordered Just REALLY dissatisfied this time! It used to be so good! …. Speculating here but has the “master chef winning head chef” departed the business ? Who knows but for a £££ place, it was marginally above Wetherspoons!

We enjoyed a lovely lunch here as a family of 6 adults and 2 dogs. The fish and chips and the cheese and onion pie were definitely highlights. Our server was so attentive and explained that the pies are made fresh so would take around 30 minutes. We were happy to wait - it tasted delicious. The pub has a really nice atmosphere and I would definitely recommend.

Our first visit, but won’t be our last. Excellent Sunday roast, friendly and helpful staff and lovely cosy setting. Good selection of cask beers, only wish this was my local! We heard about the pub through Masterchef Professionals and so glad we did, looking forward to our next visit

Food good and service a bit slow but it was Boxing Day. However the female “manager” needs some serious customer service training. Aggressive and poor in her approach - didn’t bother telling us about the specials (she did to the next table but after we had ordered), didn’t check about allergies, didn’t know details on the menu and not particularly friendly at all. Other staff lovely. Get she probably didn’t want to be there but that’s no excuse in hospitality. Will go back for the food but hopefully she’s learnt some manners by then or, even better, it’s her day off. Letting a good place down sadly.

Wow wow wow - absolutely amazing - thank you to all the staff on making my parents 60th wedding anniversary a day to remember - food was awesome service exceptional and the atmosphere amazing - the best eatery by far - thank you Rebecca and teams

Went to the Santa clause experience with our grandson ,for breakfast and have to say what a most enjoyable morning we had First class service from the staff, wonderful and a large breakfast and the man himself, Santa with his elves Big thank you to the black bull for putting it on,and will most certainly book again next year.

Fabulous pub/restaurant in a small village away from the hustle and bustle. Very quirky with cosy rooms

Dreadful. Country pub which thinks it’s a Michelin Star fine dining establishment with staff who have a serious chip on their shoulders. Booked a table three weeks in advance. Arrived, seated, people arriving after us were seated and had their orders taken whilst we sat seemingly forgotten about. One table were eating their starters and we hadn’t even had our order taken. Both drinks orders wrong both times, food eventually came, very poor for the price. No check back, no asking if we wanted more drinks, no clearing of the plates, nobody came to ask if we wanted desserts. We were simply left alone. They could’ve sold more drinks and four desserts, eventually we’d had enough of waiting and I went to pay. I complained to the manager and the attitude was simply dreadful. Obviously customers are seen as a cash cow and a hindrance. This place has an unearned sense of exclusivity and management have a dreadful attitude. Don’t worry guys, we’ve found somewhere else where the food is much better, and more importantly, the service is spot on and very attentive.

Meal was good but service was slow. The pricing of the main meal was done in a devious way this was stated as from £14 but any amount could be then added on that’s sharp practice. Roger Smith..

Had an excellent lunch here today. With it being close to Christmas they were v busy, but the food was still superb. Can thoroughly recommend the braised lamb shoulder and the sea bass in caper butter sauce !

Very nice olde world English pub. Staff were lovely, the food was good and little bit pricey but the atmosphere was lovely.

Very nice friendly pub staff were polite and the menu was very good we had the gambas pil pil which was extremely tasty I would recommend The Black Bull Update we took two of our grandchildren to breakfast with santa 07.12.2024 and I can honestly say it was such a great experience the santa was brilliant interacting with all the children the breakfast was huge and the staff were so polite and helpful. This is the best value I have ever had for this type of entertainment for our grandchildren and I would highly recommend it

Great service and a brilliant venue with a lovely cosy environment. We had fantastic service and the food was absolutely delicious

Planned to eat but unfriendly staff especially manager prompted us to eat elsewhere. Has the potential to be a great place but not with current management sadly. Need to work on their front of house service and communication!

Sunday dinner was amazing. Slow cooked lamb rump overnight was like butter and the wines were outstanding. Yumm

Great setting…terrible service, below average food at high prices & that’s being generous

This is a new favourite, been here 3 times now and every visit has been amazing. Last night we were very well looked after by Darcy, the level of service we received was exceptional. The food and drinks were also really good, Highly recommended. Thank you Darcy for looking after us and our little Boston Terrier.

I love this pub so much. We live in Chorley and travel over 30mins to get here. The potions are huge and the food is always delicious! The atmosphere is always relaxed and cosy. Tonight we were served by the loveliest lady so kind with my two children :) xx thank you for another delicious meal we will be back very soon xxx

Lovely, friendly and attentive staff at The Black Bull. Such a gorgeous setting and really tastefully decorated. The food and drink did not disappoint, just a shame we didn’t have more time to spend soaking up the ambience. Despite being quite a distance to us we would certainly like to return, well worth the journey.

Ham and black pudding starter excellent. Seafood linguini had salmon and prawns. Rich, salty sauce. Fish and chips are excellent. Cauliflower pikora, excellent.

Visited here early one Sunday evening for a family get together. First impressions good, the place feels cosy but not cramped or dingy. Portion size varies for starters from a big halloumi fries to tiny pork belly and beetroot salad. Halloumi Fries , Soup and Pork belly were all rated excellent with the beet root salad getting a good. It was roasts all round including a couple of sharing boards for mains, these were all very very good and by the end I was grateful for the smaller starter portion. Excellent desserts included dark chocolate cheesecake and tiramisu. Highly recommend.

Perfect experience. We have dined in black bull few times and attended a function there. Always top experience. This time I was after take away fish and chips. I messaged, got reply within minutes, nothing was too much trouble, I told I’ll be there in 30 minutes, when arrived, all was ready. Staff super friendly. Food presented beautifully and best file h and chips around. Massive portion of fresh fish, crispy batter and super crispy chips. All the sauces you could wish for, and even came with surprise brownies. Highly recommended. 5 stars to chef, staff and managers. Thank you Anna

Lovely food and a lovely environment! The girls who served us was amazing and was very polite when our baby had made a mess. Will definitely return.

A quiet midweek visit not far from home where the previous experience has been mixed. This time more towards the lower end and not worth the money (perhaps more and more influenced by GF’s chef status at home). Poor watery and greasy fish and chips (recommend nearby Artisan instead) and other dishes that included a pricey prawn pasta where the number of prawns was similar to the number of people in that night (very few). Take nothing away from the serving staff who were very good but the prices charged for food demand a better food experience. Wonder why they don’t try a midweek special set menu to drag the customers in. On the plus side the rarely seen Malaga lager was excellent. It’s got a nice finish in a nice location but needs to offer more for the prices they charge.

Family of 6 adults and 4 kids. Staff very friendly and professional. Starters of prawns in garlic very good. Whipped goats cheese excellent. Prawn cocktail again very good. Mains of roast dinners, fish and chips, burgers and cheese n onion pies, chicken Caesar salads, all very Very good. Kids had puddings of knickerbocker glory’s and chocolate brownies with some sorbets all very good. Would return.

What a find!!! This place is so nice with a huge garden area! The inside is just lovely the staff were so friendly and welcoming, the food well wow!! It was just so nice I wish I’d had room for dessert!!! Yes it’s pricey but the whole place is lovely and I’d pay it agin!!

Absolutely horrific, waited 30 minutes for someone to take our order. Then walked up to the bar and asked for someone, they said back off we are busy. There is definitely a more professional approach available in this instance. Restaurant was half empty, then we called before to ask what food is available as we know they run out of stuff! They said they had everything, we arrived and no beef 🤣 you can’t even make this crap up! Then we left with our party of 8. Went to millstone at mellor, brilliant! Coming just for drinks it’s great, just come full!

We booked a table for 7 people at 6.30pm. Extremely slow service despite booking. After 30 minutes waiting with a baby and a toddler I asked if someone could take our order. The man at the bar said “we will come when WE are ready” I was so shocked I asked him to repeat it assuming I misheard and he was happy to repeat it. When the server eventually arrived half the items on the menu were not available. I tried to find the manager or gentleman to complain about his behaviour but could not find anyone to talk to. Even the local patrons said to me they were shocked by the behaviour. So we left and went to Millstone at Mellor, much better choice, price, food and service.

Menu is brilliant, Excellent food, should be a foodie recognised place to go. Well worth going out of your way to eat there.

We were looking forward to this after reading reviews on TripAdvisor. However, the veggie burger was bland mush, the fries tasted greasy and rancid & the cheese was some ultra processed gunk. It was terribly disappointing. They also don't need loud music playing in their restaurant either. The wine and martini were excellent though and the staff were helpful and friendly. They either need a new recipe, or new chef. Very poor and wouldn't recommend it visit again.

Fab Sunday roast and desserts too ⭐️⭐️⭐️

All of us felt the food was below mediocre yet the price was higher than most other places.

Came today for the first time with my Mum. We had the Gambas Pil Pil to start which was incredible. The prawns were huge and succulent and the chilli oil was delicious with just the right amount of mild spice. We had the Sunday Roast sharing platter and we were both blown away by the quality of the food. The beef was cooked to perfection and tasted insanely good, the Ham was wonderful, the Yorkshire puddings were amazing, the gravy was beautiful with a delicate herby flavour, the cauliflower cheese was creamy and devine, and every other item on the board was outstanding too. We loved the "sharing board" concept as we could pick and choose what we wanted and how much we wanted. We had the Sticky toffee pudding for dessert and that was just heavenly. The staff were all so friendly and welcoming. Every staff member had a smile and were helpful and kind. Each course arrived quickly and served with a friendly smile by the waiting staff and they were quick to clear our plates once we had finished. The Inn itself is stunning and has a rustic, charm to it. It has to be the best restaurant I've visited for Sunday lunch and the staff there made our experience even more enjoyable. We plan to visit again with more of our family. Just incredible.

What a fabulous pub, great atmosphere very friendly helpful staff and amazing food. I can honestly say it was the best meal out that I have had for a very long time would heartily recommend

We dined here last weekend after hearing great reports but unfortunately left feeling quite deflated. The setting is lovely, a cosy country pub feel but that was the highlight unfortunately. We found service to be a bit haphazard and slow at times considering it was quiet at the time we dined and overpriced food for the quality on offer. We all ordered starters and a child's main to come with the starters. We were very clear on timing and anybody with kids will understand why. Unfortunately our children's meal came 10 minutes after our starters with no explanation or apology - this set the tone really. Of the 3 courses we had everything was just ok for the price. My rack of lamb (£30) for example wasn't remotely pink and the fat wasn't rendered down, nor was I asked how I would prefer it to be served. We dine out regularly from pub grub to Michelin stars and for the price of the place, which certainly is in the Michelin Guide ballpark, the food was average with haphazard service levels. When you have anything between 4-5 different people waiting on your table it naturally lends itself to quite a poor customer experience. Allocating a waiter to a table certainly feels more personal and professional. I must also add that not one of the numerous people serving us asked how anything was or if we needed anything else. Nor did they keep on top of our drinks so we were constantly having to flag them down to order. Some other niggles...we requested a cocktail from the cocktail menu...the lady returned to say we don't have that on the menu anymore but they would do it for us anyway (which was appreciated) - ensure your menus are current to avoid confusion. For the price I expected much better food and service levels.

100% in every particular. Our favourite pub. And our Labrador Poppy

Great pub, and incredible food! Don’t know how there are people complaining about this pub! All the staff were friendly and accommodating would recommend

Our family dinner was excellent, tasty food and attentive staff.

My son in law booked a table for 3, I ordered roast beef Sunday lunch my daughter had cheese and onion pie and my son in law a burger, the roast dinner was inedible the roast potatoes was so tough I couldn't cut it the roast beef was bloody I couldn't eat it I took it home for the dog, so I paid £28 pounds for a meal I couldn't eat my daughter and her husband did eat there's but said it wasn't that good. Thank god we didn't order off the menu 2 dishes £34, will not be going back.

Our first visit tonight, our son and partner brought us for an anniversary treat. Had mains and deserts, all.our meals were excellent. One of the best Sunday roasts I have had. The deserts were delicious. The service from everyone was exceptional. On arrival the bartender was very knowledgeable about the wines 🍷 and he was spot on. Well done everyone will definitely be back

If you are going to charge £30 for 3 small lamb chops, at least cook them right, very disappointed.

The pub was very nice inside and very busy. The Sunday roast was really good and a large portion. I was disappointed with the service as it was very slow, although they did say it was because they were busier than normal. We also didn't realise that it was a set 2 course meal when we booked, which I did think it was a bit pricey at £34 per person.

Nice food if you are passing, been here twice as I’ve been passing thru the area and both times it was lovely, great atmosphere, service and food Reviewing so I remember again for next time

Beautiful place. Lovely staff and great food. The best rack of lamb I've ever had. Would recommend to all.

FOOD PRETTY GOOD ...BUT WAY TOO EXPENSIVE . Sunday lunch for two 2 x roasts 2 x puddings 1 beer 1 wine = £91 Simply not good value , no option to have just the two roasts ( Frankly this is a rip off and needs addressing !) you pay for two courses whether you want them or not , we're not skint , but we will be if we ate there too often . Sorry ..better and much cheaper options available locally

WAY TOO EXPENSIVE ! Called for Sunday lunch for two . Firstly , there's absolutely nothing wrong with the food , its fine . However the options are ... either two courses or 3 courses , you cannot simply have "A Sunday roast " we really didn't want two courses but basically had to have a pudding . So 2 x Roasts 2x puddings plus 1 Beer and one wine And the bill was £91 which although nice food , it aint that nice and we object to having to pay for two courses when really ..We only needed one . Its simply too expensive for a Sunday lunch , there are many equally good options in the area for less money and without being forced to pay for what you can't eat

Great pub and restaurant, I was staying at a lodge just down the road and the black bull was the closest for us to have something to eat. The first night I ordered the 10oz steak, I was slightly disappointed by its size as it wasn't 10oz but I was hungry so didn't send it back it was cooked nicely and the fries it came with were also cooked perfectly. On our second visit I ordered the cheese burger and chips both beautifully cooked, the size of the burger was huge, my partner on both nights ordered the chicken burger. First night she said it tasted a little salty but the second night she really enjoyed it, we also ordered the garlic flat bread and really enjoyed it. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, the place is very clean and tidy, if you want food then ring up to book a table as Saturday evening people had a wait of around 30mins because it was busy. We'd definitely visit here again.

I've only been once but enjoyed one of the best Sunday roast dinners I've had. Lovely beer garden.

Had a lovely meal celebrating a birthday. Great place with a lovely ambience. Friendly staff attentive to our needs.

Another gem in the Ribble Valley, fantastic food and drink. Ideal for a real beer drinker like myself. Would recommend and will return.

Terrific. Outstanding food and service. Just don't eat too much of it like I did. The Guinness was also the best I've tasted in any pub for a number of years.

Very nice family pub, very welcoming, service high standards couldn’t do enough for us.

Excellent everything. This establishment can cater for everyone. It has a main dining area that is decorated beautifully, intimate side rooms, spacious bar area, a large huge outside area that is 50% covered with a modern canopy and all incredibly clean. I asked to move tables into the dining area because im fussy and the lighting was much better for me personally and the lady was so accommodating, no issue, we had a choice of 3 tables in the dining area and what a fabulous atmosphere. A great selection of food on the menu and the most delicious wine. The food was outstanding! Nice hearty portions, hot and fresh and so very flavourful. The service was excellent. So friendly, helpful, cheerful, professional- just was at our table at the correct times and would definitely recommend and be visiting again soon!

Went for food celebrating a birthday Had my 19mth old granddaughter with us Booked table for 5 didn’t take order till 5.45 and another hour before food arrived Cheese and onion pie not filling inside whatsoever just pastry and chips overcooked Had to ask for gravy as meal was so dry Son and partner didn’t get the extra vegetables they ordered Told if I wanted another meal would have to wait 25 minutes Like I’m going to do that when everyone else had their food Didn’t realise it was a set price for two courses and since by this time none of us wanted desserts due to disappointment we opted to get desserts to take home and had to wait another half an hour for them Completely terrible experience and well understaffed for the amount of customers I the place All this with a 19 month old baby who was totally fed up and hungry Would not recommend this place to anyone Lots of other more nice places to eat

Lovely country pub with different areas to dine in. The bar has an intimate atmosphere. Food was excellent. Staff were friendly and welcoming.

Went for Sunday lunch in the restaurant and chose from the Sunday Lunch menu. Found the service slow, the food average and the prices for food and drink very high.

Came for a belated mothers/fathers day meal. What a delightful place and definitely recommend it. The interior was lovely and quite fitting for a countryside eatery. Highly recommend the black pudding scotch egg and the Manchester tart. I gave the food 4 stars, but that's only because my bakewell tart wasn't that flavoursome, but that's my own personal taste. My husband, mother and father all raved about the food. The views in the surrounding area are lush full of greenery. With excellent outdoor seating. Reasonably priced too, cost £200 for 4 of us, all having a 3 course meal and 2 drinks and table water. A visit is a must, even if you have dogs

Beautiful, cosy and traditional pub with stunning surroundings and friendly staff, with a lovely beer garden at the back. The food is delicious and there is a wide range of drinks, deserts and meals on the menu which are always well presented on your plate when they come to the table. The staff are also very friendly also and they provide a great dining experience for you. I will return.

Lovely restaurant, with fabulous food and excellent service. Will definitely be returning. Would highly recommend.

Well worth a visit. We have been twice now fabulous.

Food is the most amazing food in a 20 mile radius. Cannot fault it. Staff lovely and friendly. Beer garden is a great size

£13.50 for gambas pil pil and the dish consisted of 4 prawns 🙈pretty expensive dish and not so brilliant tasting either.

Great food really friendly staff. We had a lovely time.

As always we had a fantastic night here. Great food & service. Lovely atmosphere. Great varied menu. Highly recommend.

Had an absolutely fantastic meal here celebrating a birthday 🎂 🥳 We can highly recommend a visit..... but advisable to book 👍

Beautiful service amazing food Highly recommended

Went for a birthday roast dinner. Very nice friendly staff and good portions and good food 👌 would recommend.

First time visiting and certainly not the last. Staff were so friendly and attentive, can't buy that!! We had the sharing board for two and all I can say is WOW!! The food was all cooked to perfection and there is so much to choose from! 😋 could have done with a nap afterwards but no... we chose pudding! Have to say the coconut and malibu panna cotta pudding was out of this world.

Booked for Sunday lunch and chose to do the two courses we chose for the main the black bull sharing board and Rebecca ensured I was able to have the Bakewell tart, wow what an absolute amazing experience this was the food is outstanding and the sharing board is masterpiece. Rebecca and Josh absolute pleasure to deal with really made us feel so comfortable and went above and beyond for us, they are a true credit and we cannot wait to come back thanks so much xxx

just been here for a meal just ok wine was £14.50 a glass large unbelievable this is what the waitress served us as standard will i return definitely not!

Rocked up with 7 people at dinnertime on a Thursday and although my Mum had failed to book us a table they were able to accommodate us. Friendly staff, excellent service and delicious food. Very comprehensive kids menu too. Would definitely go back for a special occasion.

The food here is amazing, the service is immaculate, it was the best Sunday lunch I have ever had, whilst it's not cheap it is worth every penny, the menu is extensive and varied with something for everyone.

Delicious food and friendly staff who couldn't do enough for us. The place was beautiful, cosy and clean. A little quiet, but as it was a midweek lunchtime I won't hold that against it! Overall perfect and looking forward to going back again soon ☺️

This is what we class as our local although it’s about a 5 min drive from our home and we visit regularly as a couple for drinks but we invited friends over for food here. Booked a table in the bar area which we like, table ready on arrival and table service was immediate for drinks. Food arrived quite quickly and was delicious, service staff were very attentive, polite & friendly. Drinks range is excellent too. We all had a great time thank you

Great food, great staff, great atmosphere! What more could you want. Would like to return.

Food was amazing and the ambience matched perfectly, staff felt like friends, we will be back soon x

Exceptional experience from start to finish. Lovely warm welcome, friendly and very helpful staff, wonderful venue and incredible food.

We came here for Sunday Lunch on the rebound from another pub / restaurant. The contrast could not have been greater. The Black Bull fitted us in at zero notice, despite being extremely busy and one of our party being in a wheelchair. The staff were attentive and the food was excellent. Thank you Becky and the other staff.We already have two return visits planned.

Whilst the food was good, I paid £10.50 for a small white wine. I complained and was told they had a new supplier.They were going to change suppliers. My friend visited a few weeks later and she paid £10.50 for a small 125 ml glass ! Sorry, I know folks who will not be visiting again

Lovely pub and atmosphere. Highly recommebd

We came here for a set menu on Mother's Day and everything was perfect. The food quality was excellent, the service the same and the restaurant decor was perfect. The staff were hardworking and customer orientated. We will definitely be back.

We came for Mother’s Day, as we were staying in the wigwam glamping pods down the road. We aren’t from the area but we visited in 2013, and we remembered really loving it- the charm of the building itself and we remembered the food being outstanding (a sharing board in particular) This time, we found the booking process a bit unusual. We booked online back in January - it didn’t ask for a deposit. A few weeks ago we got a call for a deposit (no problem- paid it) and sent the food order in advance Then a call a few days before the booking to double check we were going. Then a text again the day before asking to confirm.. it’s surely not necessary for treble confirmation.. On arrival- the staff are so so friendly- we were seated straight away, the tall young man with the dark framed glasses (didn’t get his name) is absolutely lovely. And the lady, presumably the manager as she wasn’t in a uniform was so sweet, handing out flowers to the children to give to the mums- this was adorable and such a nice touch. Thankyou :) The food was ok, to be completely honest the lamb wasn’t great at all, it was pretty dry. But, it was Mother’s Day, and a set menu, and busy, the service was quite slow - but it was an occasion so it wouldn’t put me off coming again. I doubt it’s a common occurrence. The pudding, was actually amazing. Literally the best dessert I’ve had in any restaurant (the orange posset). The whole meal was really good value too. We’ll definitely return, we intend to go to the glamping site again in the summer so will come back to try the normal menu for sure. The staff are are an absolute credit

Excellent service, delicious food

I came in today with my puppy, covered in mud so we asked to sit outside rather than eat indoors; making a mess and disturbing others and despite not serving out doors they moved us without question. The food was superb and the service was brilliant! A special thanks to our server Darcy who went above and beyond to make our visit memorable and enjoyable. We look forward to coming again very very soon!

We drove over 1 hour to get here but we were not disappointed Turned up very easily for our table and was told we could sit down now or go have a drink first, we chose to sit down as we had a starving child lol The food was faultless, service faultless…our dog enjoyed her doggie dinner too Very very highly recommend and will definitely return Thank you

I recently dined here with friends and I must write about it. From the moment we entered we were greeted with open arms and the whole service, start to finish was impeccable. The food was out of this world and can only be described as one of the best Sunday diners ever. I would say this is has to be put on your list of places to try. Well worth travelling too.. Thank you to the Black Bull Team! Howard

1 menu in the whole place, took an hour to get our food, no prices on the menu, pie was cooked to a crisp on the edge but nice in the middle, peppercorn sauce had no taste, concinced they put cream in a pot, chips were lovely, food was cheap, the barman, waiter and cleaner (all one person) did a great job whilst maintaining a good spirit! Definitely a good place to go for drinks but the food was questionable.

Beautiful pub with the friendliest service and delicious food.

An all round good pub, well worth visiting.
