Black Bull in Newcastle upon Tyne

Went at lunchtime with my Brother and Husband. Had Katsu chicken strips with chips and peppers. Only second time there, but will definitely be back.

Today the food was better & good value for money...katsu laden chips 😋, serve good too

Horrible place with horrible people recommend you never go. Local man loitering with a large group of other men at the door stopped me to say sorry only women are allowed in tonight - then looked again at me and said ooh sorry you are a woman. For someone who is already struggling with self esteem this is the end to a night out and perhaps going out again for sometime - why do people have to be so nasty.

Excellent service from Kieran. Very tasty food and looked after our dog well with biscuits and water

Not one for leaving reviews normally but popped in the black bull for some food with family, young bar manager helped us out with table service and the lot. Will definitely be visiting again next time round.

The highlight of this pub is its bar man Jack. Lovely lad who couldn’t be more helpful and friendly. A credit to the pub who needs commending 👍🏻

Jack ,Katie& Kieran’s service was fantastic, food was incredible and free pint through the app was even better. Should be 100 stars, Jack was very helpful and showed me how to get the free pint excellent service from the young gentleman that you don’t normally see.

Jack, Steve, Kieran and Alice go above and beyond with their friendly service, making every visit enjoyable. The food is consistently great, with a menu that never disappoints. Whether you’re stopping in for a drink or a meal, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, thanks to the excellent team. Highly recommend!

Fantastic food and very pleasant staff.. highly recommended. Had beef and ale pie and was top notch 👌 Kieran served us and was dead canny.

great pub, friendly staff and very good deals. especially the burger deal through the week👍🏻

Pretty decent pub, vibrant crowd. Good selection of drinks. Big screens to watch sports. The food is really well priced .. downsides was the wait for the food. 45 minutes for a burger. Still the staff were friendly and helpful. Sound place...call in of your passing.

Was served by lad called Jack, lovely lad, proper helpful and pours lethal pints

Jack was mint satisfied all my desires class lad

Was served by a class young lad called jack. Was really accommodating and helped out loads. Chesrs!

Polite, friendly staff. Fast service. Really good food! Brought our dog. Entrance filled with dog goodies. No faults.

Enjoyed a pint here today. Staff we're fantastic thank you to emma and kieran. Will be back

Called in to have a quick drink before going to a restaurant and then afterwards on my way home. Good service and friendly staff. Good range of beers other than real ales where only one was available despite 4 pumps on the bar. Shame that there was no Abbott Ale. Pub was quiet, but we had to ask for a spray and cloth to clean our own table after sitting down. We didn't so can't comment on the food.

Friendly place, good banter, nice food katsu curry is great. Fair priced. And an absolute sun trap in the summer

My Dad and I had tea (or dinner, if you prefer) we ordered 2 plates of the Salt and Pepper Chilli Chicken from the 2 mains from 13.49 selection, I had one and we shared the other. 1 plate is 9.29 anyway. My Dad had the Chicken and Ham pie as his own dish. Both meals were really nice with plenty of flavour. I had room left for pudding so I had the Jam Roly Poly pudding. Beautiful! The service was excellent from Ellie. She was cheerful, polite and efficient throughout.

🐶Love this place, always friendly, always welcoming foods great, chef is excellent and I can take the dog

Alice at the black bull is fantastic! really friendly super helpful. We will definitely be back soon for more drinks and food

Alice on the bar was so friendly. Thanks for a great time

Good food and good service. Cracking job flynn and jack

I came here with sister and niece we had a few games of pool and three lovely meals. The food was really nice and was quickly served. Will be definitely coming back.

Natalie was absolutely brilliant when we visited today, made us feel very welcome! Food was great too! Will definitely be back

Absolutely amazing place to eat. The service is first rate! The food was only second to its charm.

Visited the pub today with a large group, Natalie had outstanding service met all our needs and more. Food was lovely and will definitely visit again.I hope Natalie gets the recognition she deserves.

Typical foodie pub Greeted with a lovely smile staff were very polite and welcoming, but also informed me about offers that are on, so very helpful Nice pint

A great venue with very friendly staff. We have been a few times and never had a bad evening.

Great atmosphere and lovely sharing platter , we were in for the England game what a lovely pub Fab service from bar staff

Unreal pub. Came here for my birthday staff are very welcoming. Emma and natalie were stars, booked my tables and provided amazing service all night. Burgers are on a fabulous deal (buy one get one free) and all my family and friends ate them. 100% would recommend

Fast and friendly service from Laura

Omg Laura and Emma are the best ever! What a fab bar! so friendly and helpful recommending best deals! Definitely be back these two are amazing!

EMMA! Has been the most amazing server full of smiles great customer service. When I come in this bar and Emma is me server she really gives me confidence in the customer journey for green king.

Came with son and partner , ordered food at till to be told no fish ? Scampi instead , Waiter came to table to say no texan bbq sauce ? Also said no flatbread ,no hunters chicken , no lasagne ,anything else so son had to get chicken burger ? No tartar sauce as shows in picture Sadly disappointed

Had meal here today the food was lovely the service was very good the barmaid Laura went out of her way for use very helpful and friendly

Lovely food and friendly staff I would definitely come here again. Areas indoors and outdoors lovely so caters for all weather.

Thank you for making my flatbread extra spicy upon request - shout out to Natalie and Ellie 🎉🍻

Lovely lunchtime treat really tasty & just a nice size would definitely come again & staff were lovely thank you will be back

Went for lunch on Sunday but due to the overpowering smell of bleach in the pub, we had to leave before even ordering. Surely a better cleaning product could be used other than bleach.

Called in for our lunch food was lovely great atmosphere and staff are very friendly would highly recommend popping in we'll definitely go back the food was so good recommend the hunters chicken it was done to perfection well cooked and hubby had the fish n chips which he thoroughly enjoyed

Called in for a couple of drinks with my husband and my husband had the fish and chips and mushy peas and I had the hunters chicken with chips and onion rings it was absolutely beautiful the chicken breast was cooked right through and the bacon on the top was nice and crispy just the way I like it I always order that from different pubs I go to and either the bacon isn't cooked properly or the chicken has been sometimes a bit watery inside but this was the best hunters chicken I've ever had first class and my husband thoroughly enjoyed his fish and chips hats of to the chef kieran we will definitely go back for food 😋

Been here about 5 times now and always have food and drink 🍸 food is always beautifully cooked 🍳 lasagne I love ❤️ the black bull has the most amazing staff they are super pleasant and very efficient, this is our new go to place for food and drink 🍸 lol 😆 we love it here it's dead relaxing 😌

Hi ,called into the black bull with friends for lunch today , haven't been for quite a while was really disappointed with the meal we all had Hunters chicken ,the chicken was very dry and looked like a kids portion and the cheese on top was like rubber it pulled off in one piece , 2 onion rings and salad which was just lettuce (,where was the tomato and cucumber) and a handful of chips. We use Green King pubs alot , can say we've always had a good meal elsewhere.worst meal we've had in a green king pub ,don't think we'll be going back as there's plenty of other green king pubs around the area . Sorry , Janet

Natalie served a perfect pint as per usual 😊 Burgers, chips, onion rings, the whole lot was lush and quickly demolished 😊 Plus the fact it's buy one get one free makes it fantastic value for money 😊

Attended here for a drink and food with some friends. The service is very strange as the guy kept trying to clear our plates when we weren't finished. He also brought my drink without a glass which I found strange. The music was incredibly loud and you weren't able to hear the people you were sitting with. The food came out completely different from what was mentioned on the menu. We had nachos which came with freezing cold pork on top and barely any cheese (it was £10!) The chips were meant to be rosemary and were plain. The chicken was meant to have blue cheese on and had nothing. Very disappointing for the cost !

Went for lunch with my son wanted a steak no onion rings a week running got chicken tacos it was cold took it back was warmed up in microwave tacos soft and salad too disgusting

Brill place to go for a pint after finishing uni, cheap prices and brill staff

Such a chilled place to go for a few quiet ones and the food actually lush x

Steve is always really welcoming when we come in, explained the different drinks available to my friend who hadn’t been here before, always super helpful and the bar is a great place for students to get lunch as it’s just up the road from the university. Food is lovely and atmosphere is great whether on a quiet Monday afternoon or a busy match day.

Great atmosphere and a cracking team. Always get a lovely pint. Definitely recommend!

Laura the barmaid has a very fresh smile! Great service

I only went into the car park, to collect my drunken wife. It was dark but it was easy to find a space. The surface is remarkably good and the smell of food coming from the premises was really nice. I don't drink alcohol but if I did I would have a drink here.

Great bar, brill atmosphere, lovely staff and tasty food highly recommended 🍷🍾🥂

Great pub great staff! Louise Emma and Natalie made us feel very welcome! Would definitely recommend.

Great local, great staff and best tv screens for the match. Highly recommend. Cheers 🍻

Black Bull is a great pub! The food is always spot on & lots of choices for drinks. The staff make you feel welcome every time you go. Excellent service!

Went in for a nice meal with the family, staff were very attentive and helpful and the food was great. Great atmosphere too. Will definitely visit again.

Visited with a group of friends and a dog intending to just have a few drinks knowing how busy pubs get so close to Christmas, the bar was a little busy but waited no more than a few minutes to get a full round and treats and a bowl of water were swiftly provided by eagle eyed manager Steve. After a few and seeing the food others around had ordered we decided to order a selection of the small plates and some sides, we were advised there may be a short wait due to the level of customers in but again we were pleasantly surprised when these were delivered piping hot to the table about 15 minutes later. Not a single complaint from any of us, it was lovely food and worked out very good value for money. The bar staff were all very friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back again soon.

Popped in for a few drinks with some mates over Christmas an had a great time. Staff are lovely and welcoming will definitely be coming back.

Me and a friend came to the black bull and the staff couldn't be more helpful, the food was amazing as usual and the coffee was just right, the atmosphere was calm and the price was at good value

Went in for the 1st time yesterday after a mate recommended it, what a great place. Had a lovely meal with the wife, great service and made to feel very welcome even though dripping wet after a walk

Amazing friendly place as always staff are great and food was lovely

Working close by Ive been here a few time over the years 😁. Stopped off for some refreshments and food while getting bits for Xmas now I don’t want to go home to clean 😂. Nice katsu chicken , glass of wine and a love singer…. Merry Christmas everyone 🎄🥂🍾🥂

Went here for our Christmas meal, 7.99 for three courses. Absolute bargain very tasty and they also had a singer and raffle. We are going to book for next year as well. Great goor great service and cracking staff.

Great food, great staff & great atmosphere. Came here for our football teams Christmas meal and had a lovely time.

Great staff , great food , great atmosphere and service. What more can you ask for

Someone who says ‘are you ok’ when I just lost may dad …. Outstanding customer service. And then to bring napkins when upset is exceptional… Jack then embraced me and made me feel so comfortable. Star employee x

Lovely local pub, a place we can basically call our 2nd home (spend a lot of time here) as we’re welcomed on each and every visit by staff, friends and locals in the pub we now call friends. Food is spot on, burgers and chips for our son and Katsu curry is heaven. Feel so comfortable here, never any bad atmosphere or experiences, happy pub to go to and will continue to visit. Thanks to all the Black Bull team - you’ve been amazing x

Aaron was amazing, very polite and attentive!

Food portions were micro, oh and they had no steak on Thursday - which is steak night

Party of 5 for Sunday lunch. The food was outstanding allround. Service very good. The steak and ale pie and gravy was fantastic. Big thumbs up 👍

Lunch with a friend . Fab food, cooked well & came hot. Staff very nice helpfull and cheerful esp Natalie she was lovly . Car park big; WC very clean as was the whole place and it was lovly having low music in the background not blasting out . We could enjoy a quiet chat.

Served by a lad called Jack, very friendly and welcoming.

Had a great night, food v good and service from Jack, Aaron and Keiran was fantastic. Will definitely visit again

It was my 80th birthday get together with 9 of my friends on Monday. Natalie was really wonderful. Every time I visit the Black Bull everything is spot on, and the pensioners menu is really good value for money. 👍

Great food, good value and fantastic service from Natalie!

Great food for the price and decent pint of moretti. Server Natalie was great with our 1 year old and brought her a little toy!

Lovely family place to eat and Natalie one of the staff was very friendly and made sure everything was ok will definitely be returning.

Natalie and Laura were very friendly and from the start very adaptive to what we required for our booking and always supportive throughout the meal.

Aaron and Alex give great service very friendly

Undoubtedly the best pub in the area. Food is cooked quickly and precisely what you want with such a great range of fresh draught beer. The staff make this pub stand out head and shoulders above the competition. Seldom have I been made to feel as welcome by a barman like Joe or Beth and I so hope when they reopen there will be space.Very accommodating, plenty of sports on the telly and a warm community atmosphere.

Great pub with a great atmosphere and really friendly staff :) would definitely recommend a visit, particularly for the Monday night quiz!

A local of mine and a place that I hold close to my heart. Great selection of beverages, amazing staff (especially Ollie who is always so helpful and friendly), and a warm atmosphere. Couldn’t recommend enough.

Great spacious pub, Always good friendly service, exceptionally clean, safe and well managed throughout the Pandemic. Friendly drinks, family meals or business lunches we would highly recommend The Black Bull for all. Showermania team

Antes de que se aplicaran restricciones. Solíamos venir al toro para nuestras reuniones de planificación de guías de brownie. El personal siempre ha sido muy servicial ya que podemos ser hasta 10 personas pagando por separado.Desde entonces he estado con mi novio (la misma casa), y a pesar de que se han tomado las medidas según la guía de Covid, el personal sigue siendo amable y acogedor, Joe y Ollie detrás de la barra son especialmente buenos.Buena selección de opciones vegetarianas, espero más en el futuro.

Llevé a mi familia el domingo a un almuerzo de pub, elegimos este ya que era apto para perrosmientras viajábamos desde Escocia y era local y conveniente.El almuerzo fue excelente y el personal fue muy atento e incluso se aseguró de que el perro tuviera aguaLa próxima vez que visitemos a la familia de Newcastle, no dudaremos en ir allí de nuevo.

Variedad en la carta. Ubicado en un pueblo a las afueras de Newcastle a 5km. No comimos, porque era muy pronto y acababan de abrir, pero el menú, tenía muy buena pinta. Trato excelente y tomamos un aperitivo

We had a fantastic visit to the black bull for our Julie's leaving party , meals were fantastic all enjoyed Aaron the assistant manager was a great host will definitely be back

Scott and joe are amazing even when it’s busy they make time for everyone, beautiful staff and beautiful people

My meal was flavourless, no seasoning, jist chickpeas in a bun and partners meat was so undercooked he was ill when we got home.

Visited here for the first time today and will definitely be back. We had chicken fajitas and would highly recommend. Really good customer service too :)

Great service food was nice and good prices Got the chicken fajitas and was cooked perfectly plenty of flavour in the chicken will be back again

Popped in here for a drink on the way to town. Staff were very welcoming. Aaron was a treat to talk to. Would definitely recommend

I have just started working in the area, and wanted to find a pub that was showing the football, and this pub has lots of TV screens dotted around the pub so easy to see the action wherever you're sitting. They do Abbot Ale, and I also decided to eat there as well, curry was good and Abbots is always a good pint.I just found the bar staff - Barry and Bethany - particularly welcoming and friendly, and when my food was brought to the table and I asked for another pint and Barry said he'd bring it over to me (I had started a tab) I decided to post this review. So here it is.

We haven't lived here long, but this pub has already become a firm favourite. Special mention must go to the 'team' of Barry and Beth(any) whose service with a smile, even in the busiest times is never less than courteous and polite. It is clear from their work ethic that not only do they take this job very seriously but customer service is always paramount: a fact which may be taken for granted by some customers but it has not been lost on my friends and colleagues who have observed this professional behaviour on each of our many subsequent visits. This pairing is an asset to any staff. Hang on to it. Our thanks.

Come here every pay day Friday, always a great night, the staff are lovely especially Bethany always has smile on her face even when busy
