It’s a pub with inexpensive pub grub. In a suburb of Newcastle. Nice people, acceptable food. Bit rough for a posh Southerner like me, but the kids didn’t care as there was plenty of brown food available.

A Christmas catch up with friends and we booked the festive fayre menu. We had a great time and the service was top notch, we had Jack and Keiron who looked after us and as we were all Deaf they looked after us well and communicated clearly or by text on their mobiles to say what they wanted. The food was fantastic and was cooked by Flynn so a lovely night was had all around. Will go back again soon as atmosphere was so relaxing and lovely.

Horrible lugar con gente horrible te recomiendo que nunca vayas. Un hombre local merodeando con un gran grupo de otros hombres en la puerta me detuvo para decir lo siento, solo se permite la entrada de mujeres esta noche - luego me miró de nuevo y dijo ooh sorry you are a woman. Para alguien que ya está luchando con la autoestima, este es el final de una noche de fiesta y quizás salir de nuevo por algún tiempo. ¿Por qué la gente tiene que ser tan desagradable?

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.

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.

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 😋

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 .

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 !

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.

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.
