This pub is the best in Grantham, great food, good staff and never any trouble.

Lovely atmosphere, friendly pub and decent food!! Would definitely recommend!

This pub has a real warm feeling to it, the staff are so nice and our food was amazing, the burgers are to die for! If your in the area give it a go.

Good pub, staff are always nice and the food is good.

Good atmosphere and friendly staff!!

We had lunch with friends today, A mixed grill and a steak was all very nice portion size was enormous, but best of all was the friendly staff, just fabulous all round and we will be going back soon 3113

Had the lasagna my husband had steak and friends had mix grill and steak aswell. The food was amazing 🤩 the lasagna was creamy and beautifully cooked. No burnt bits or anything 😍😍 100000000% go and have food

Went for a family meal and black dog the only place in town that do a Sunday dinner was very tasty and the food size was amazing !

Really nice atmosphere, thirsty Thursday was a great laugh. Staff are nice and friendly, I’d recommend a visit if your in the area.

The best place in Grantham, great atmosphere people and staff amazing prices and just a great vibe!

Best pub in town! Always a brilliant atmosphere and the beer is spot on. Good to watch sports and great place for our darts team.

Good atmosphere here, always very friendly, the staff are top notch and the beer is great.

Lovely old fashion pub. Our food was great, very nice staff and atmosphere.

Really nice place, lots of options on the drinks and the new food menu is so much better than the old Marstons ones, everything is home cooked! Is great now the old landlord Chris has taken the pub back over again long term. The Dog has definitely got its direction back now, which is lovely to see. We will definitely be back more often now, thanks for a lovely meal.❤️

Lovely food here at the Black Dog, the quality is second to none.

Love this pub and the enterier of the place with all the creepy stories about the monk and the workers are nice especially the manager of the black dog

Very good customer service and friendly. They will ask you about the drinks they offer. We would recommend the purple cocktail and the glitter shots. The staff are fantastic

Popped in to Grantham today and dropped into The Black Dog for lunch with my daughter. I had burger and fries which were fab, plate was cleared as I wasn't going to be wasting a scrap of it! Daughter who is pretty fussy had hunters chicken (minus the cheese which she doesn't like) and chips, she thoroughly enjoyed it and ate the lot, which makes a massive change for her lol Will definitely be returning next time we are in Grantham 😁👍

Fantastic pub, definitely the best in Grantham. The food here is amazing now it's all homemade.

Great pub, the atmosphere and food is always lovely. Staff are always really good and can't do enough to help. I'd recommend a visit.

Lovley pub, the food is great and the atmosphere is always top draw. Staff are great and always friendly.

Great lunch with friends always enjoyable... lovely Sunday lunch friendly staff clean and fab atmosphere. The events board is great shows football... themed nights and karaoke. 🎤

We came here for food to try the new menu, I have to say it’s lovely. I had the mixed grill which is huge!!!!! Everyone else had burgers, all the food came in good time and was delicious! Really nice to see the pub so busy again, keep it up guys.💪💪

Nice place to drink and good atmosphere kids welcome

I can't vouch for the food I only drank here but the drinks, service and atmosphere was 100%

We ordered bangers and mash with large Yorkshire pudding and gravy. Sounded fine we thought. After paying for our order we were informed that they were out of Yorkshire puddings so there would be a wait for fresh ones to be cooked. What we eventually got was bangers and mash with gelatinous gravy that was thicker than thick custard and two small piles of stuff each - ‘Yorkshire pudding’ - that were small, raw in the middle and inedible. According to the barman that served our meal it was cooked by someone who had ‘never cooked Yorkshires from scratch before’. I would rather have been told that there were no puddings, or perhaps that the ‘chef’ would just have to nip to Lidl to buy some rather than be presented with that stuff. Not even a starving macaque monkey would have been attracted to the Yorkshire puddings that we were presented with!! We declined the two complementary Cokes offered - too little too late. We will not be back

Me my daughter granddaughter and friend visited last week to try the new food menu which was all homemade meals i had lasagne and my daughter and friend both had the burgers the portions were great and the food was really good the manager and bar staff are very friendly and welcoming can't wait to try more food from the menu

Tried the new food last week all homemade meals it was all very good did not disappoint can't wait to go back and try some more

Plastic glasses not good one drink then moved on

Great atmosphere on Thursday evenings. Will come to try the food one day as it looks sooooo good

Friendly staff, good atmosphere, good deals on Thursday nights

Lovely traditional style pub, enjoyed my time here, the staff where very friendly. Would definitely recommend to family and friends.

Lovely staff, amazing atmosphere cheap drinks and overall a great place to to have a chilled drink/food, or a good night for the weekends and Thursdays for thirsty Thursday. Would definitely recommend 100%

martine is amazing, customer service is great. manager is fabulous !!!

We had been recommended this pub by a friend, having come down to the area for anniversary treat, we rang the pub to book ahead after looking online at the delicious menu. HOWEVER on ringing was met with very curt response..”we don’t do food anymore” but your website says.. “well wedon’t anymore” and was hung up on. Didn’t even bother calling for a drink after that

Brilliant pub, lovely atmosphere, the landlord is a great guy!

Nice pub, the staff are great, drinks are always nice.

Brilliant pub, definitely the best place in Grantham, the staff are very welcoming and I always feel safe in the pub, lovely atmosphere too.

Lovely atmosphere, good options on the drinks, I’d recommend a visit.

Lovely old fashioned pub, lots of drinks to choose from, nice staff too.

Nice pub, good options on the drinks, really nice atmosphere.

Great atmosphere here, the Thirsty Thursday night is the best night in Grantham. Give it a go guys.👌🏼👌🏼

Nice pub! Had a lovely pie with chips. Would love to visit again

Caught norovirus from some dirty ice cubes last night (17 August 2023) but I will 100% come on a night out here all the time as often as possible.

Absolutely love eating here! Great food and great prices. Amazing service and friendly staff.

Normal pub ok atmosphere good if you want a late drink

What is the make of hand dryer in disabled toilet were thinking about coming here but my freinds don't like some dryers? It looks a good pub I'm visiting soon

Food was lovely, disappointed by the facilities, which needed restocking with toilet roll in the ladies and the gents were in such a state, my husband chose not to use them. However, the dog received a warm welcome and bowl of water was offered and provided quickly

Nice pub, good atmosphere, worth a visit.

Really nice pub, lovely atmosphere, Chris the landlord runs a good ship.

Nice old fashioned pub with good staff.

Nice pub, always enjoy the banter.

Great pub for darts, Thirsty Thursdays are always a laugh with the karaoke.

A nice welcoming pub, lovely food at a good price

Lack of real ale on tap to start. Ordered one starter and two mains. The starter came with the mains. The prawn cocktail was poor and my husband asked for no butter on the bread but got no bread at all. The roast turkey dinner was swimming in gravy - why not put the gravy in a jug for the person to pour on themselves? The roast potatoes were deep fried ? The steak was tough and uncooked. It was rear when we asked for medium. No steak knife either. The salad was poor The place was empty and it is proper down to the poor external and poor food Not waste your money - avoid at all cost

Asked to remove something from my meal, gave it to me with what I didn’t want on it. I said I didn’t want it and they took it back, scraped it off the top and gave it back. I could have had a severe allergy, that’s not acceptable for overpriced mac and cheese. Inside is dark and dingy in the middle of the day and cutlery, dishes and cups were dirty and grimy.

Huge sandwich board outside advertising food served all day i arrived at 5.30 after paying for parking to be told that they had stopped serving. Absolute joke and false advertising.

Btilliant pub, the food is always great, Chris the landlord is a great guy.

Great pub, nice food, the staff and landlord Chris are really good, always try to help out.

We love this place! Myself, my partner and our friend regularly visit here on a Saturday afternoon when we visit Grantham, sometimes we have food and we cannot complain one bit especially as they let our mate have an extra portion of mash, thank you for putting up with us, we are very greatful.

Best place in Grantham and Paul is wicked !

Great pub with good staff, always a nice atmosphere.

Good atmosphere but had to ask for my drink to be topped up when 1/4 was just head

No real beer. Staff made feel like I was putting them out.

Nice pub, lovely food, nice atmosphere. I'd definitely recommend a visit.

Decently priced beer, friendly staff, pool table and plenty of tv’s

Interesting and historical looking building, decent selection of drinks at the bar, beer garden and pool table available inside

Food and service is amazing staff are really warm and welcoming polite food looks like it does on the menu

Fantastic staff and very welcoming with great beer.

Had a fantastic experience here. The staff where very friendly, the food was great and a very good selection of drinks too.

Nov 2022 and changed my review Came in after new land lord terrible beer flat pint and when I asked about it I was told that's how it is ...

Friendly staff. No real ale or food.

No food available and sky sports off today despite one of the biggest matches of the year being on. Pub was empty. I've been going in the dog over 20 years and never seen it as bad as it is under the new management

Usually my go to pub to watch football, but went in to watch the LIV vs MANU game, when went it, was told there’s no skysports (even thou signs up saying skysports) also told no food, flat coke for kids, just an absolutely terrible pub now!

I've been visiting this place for years, staff are friendly and the food is very tasty

Excellent bar staff and friendly pub.

Fun happy lively pub that you could enjoy with friends and family

Food was lovely, staff welcoming. Nice environment.

Food generally quite nice atmosphere usually good.cant comment on last visit as was wasted.

The black dog is very reasonably priced with excellent food. My husband and I both got burgers and enjoyed them.

This is not a place to go for food, we had scampi meal and ordered a side of onion rings £3 for 8. The meal arrived with 3 on plate, when I asked were the side was they said the 3 on plate were them, explained side order is a separate thing. Was shot down. I ordered surf and turf, steak was pure gristle, flat mushroom was just an ordinary one squashed flat size of a 50p. Will not be returning 😡😡

never disappoints, friendly staff and lovely food, recommend👍🏼 plenty of drink choices to suit everyone and has a good range of live sports

Staff could be quicker in serving especially when busy

Nice pub, great prices ,nice food.

Food was so fresh and tasty very nice and good prices

Proper pub with good pub food and friendly staff

Fabulous food, the menu choices are your standard pub grub but it's cooked really well. Friendly staff and a pleasant atmosphere.

Really just a standard pub, good sphere though and quick service at the bar

We had a really nice Sunday lunch and the only negative was the very many large screen television sets with football on. Perhaps Sunday lunch time should have at least half the pub TV free. I don't think many people in the pub were interested in the football.

Visited with my boyfriend and was given a flat, warm ale. approached to let them know keg might be gone and was mansplained to (incorrectly) from a member of staff sitting on barstools in front of the bar. no apologies, wrongly made to feel stupid in front of other customers. Very poor customer service and alongside friends who’ve visited and been approached by creepy men here, it’s a pub I’d definitely avoid. Won’t visit again.

Excellent service and very good food.

Great pub. Good atmosphere. Outside area is well covered , big space , good music. Staff very friendly. I would definitely go back when visiting Grantham again.

2nd visit here. Great food and good range of drinks

Lovely friendly staff and lovely food

Visited this pub yesterday and ordered a Carlsberg and a gin, they was going to serve the gin in a half pint glass, when I asked for a gin glass I was told there isn’t any left, I then asked for some fruit to find out they didn’t have any, it’s not hard to grab some lemons and limes is it!? We was going to stay for food until my husband when to the toilet which was absolutely disgusting. No paper in the toilets na was absolutely filthy. You shouldn’t have to ask the barmen for more toilet roll. Who ever is running this place needs to address the points made, not a chance would I have a meal in here when they can’t get the basics right. The barmen was ok until the football was over then their attitudes seemed to change, wasn’t a pleasant experience at all.

You can't close the toilet doors, the lockers are broken, the left toilet was untidy. No softdrinks unless you drink the diet version of it (not everyone can eat / drink sweeteners). Uncomfortable chairs, hardly snacks and the kitchen was closed

Great pub. Spaceous, great vibe, music, pool table - and security guy keeping the people civil. I think I like this pub the most amongst all in Grantham. Give it a try, have a pint!

Went with wife for fish and chips

Decent place..only place open late on a Thursday and food is good and reasonably priced

They were kind enough to book us a table as we were having a long walk with the dog . It's just a town centre pub but whoever cooks the food does a great job , 4 meals all fully eaten and enjoyed . The drinks are ridiculously cheap . Its just over an hour from London and almost half price . Staff could not have been politer very characterful and made a right fuss of our dog , which he loved.
