This venue was booked weeks ago by my daughter for my birthday.we have been here lots of times with no problems. Tonight we are very disappointed with the service if fact we were a party of 5. We ordered drinks then 20 minutes later we ordered our food, so far so good 4 meals we ok but my daughter’s burger was raw inside. We called over a member of staff who said she change it. Bear in mind 4 of us had our meals , we finished our meals before her replacement burger meal came. The attitude of this one woman staff changed she refunded the burger meal but we wanted to order puddings another 25 minutes wait. I nearly got up and left. When the puddings arrived she basically slammed them on the table. We paid the bill over £100 but sad to say it will be a while before we return.

No es lo que yo llamaría un pub de canal tradicional, más bien un pub de cadena. Pasé por mi barco por una pinta o dos, el bar era confuso, no se puede pedir una cerveza en el bar, tienes que hacer cola para pedir comida y bebidas en un extremo del bar, ya que era un domingo a la hora del almuerzo que está esperando a un montón de personas en frente pidiendo comida antes de que pueda simplemente conseguir una cerveza, los verdaderos ales en oferta consistía en una opción. Sí, el lugar estaba ocupado, pero me sentí como si estuviera siendo arreado a través de un sistema, no exactamente una experiencia amistosa, la cerveza también era de £ 1. 00 una pinta más caro de lo que he estado pagando en cualquier otro lugar en las últimas semanas. Sentí como si estuviera en un pub de la cadena Greene King o Marstons. La comida parecía bastante caro también (aunque mientras estaba sentado en el jardín olía delicioso). No dejo a menudo una crítica negativa y los propietarios pueden estar a la defensiva en su respuesta, pero no es un pub tradicional junto al canal, es un pub moderno junto al canal, ya sea que tenga unos siglos de antigüedad o no.

The service is very slow but after a complaint and a 56-minute wait, the starters arrived. The lettuce in mother's starter looked dirty and one of the chips had a hair on it . However, it has nice surroundings and a good range of choices on the menu.

Love the Black Boy, I’ve been a regular for years! Good wholesome food at very affordable prices, great country pub vibe, great in the summer for the whole family with a large rear garden with a play area for the kids. Backs onto the canal and is the perfect location for a sunset stroll after your meal.

Realmente estábamos deseando nuestra comida, pero desafortunadamente la comida era horrible, esperamos 3 / 4 de una hora para nuestra comida, el pastel de carne estaba bien, el pollo estaba seco en el pollo cazadores, la lasaña se quemó y fue enviado de vuelta, me preguntaron si quería otro de otra cosa, pero me negué ya que estábamos en un límite de tiempo. Desafortunadamente, no volveremos a El Niño Negro.

Fui aquí con un viejo colega de trabajo al que no había visto en veintisiete años para ponerme al día. Tomamos una cerveza cada uno y dos platos principales. Tenía panza de cerdo que estaba bien. Mi viejo amigo tenía pastel de carne y verduras. Dijo que su pastel (cazuela con tapa de hojaldre) estaba bien. Volvería a cenar si pasara, pero no haría un viaje especial allí.

Booked a table for 5 @2pm , after an hour or so wait we was asked to move tables , another hour and half later we received our food , the front of house Michelle was extremely lovely lady, we all felt sorry for the staff!! If the management think it's a good idea, to dump please at there table , and basically say no table service for food or drink is ridiculous! Stood in the queue to get drinks whilst waiting for our other family members, back in the queue for more drinks when they arrived, back in the queue to order food , NOT A VERY GOOD EXPERIENCE AT ALL!! The queue was literally going out to the canal Such a shame Just shambles

Tables can be very close together and being a family pub, with play area, it was noisy. Service was very average and needed frequent summoning which was an irritation for one member of the staff but most were willing and smiling The exterior gave the impression of a lovely country pub, which was misleading. Menu was extensive with nothing exceptional plus three specials located on a small chalkboard on the bar but not offered by the waitress.

very dissapointing experience, we were sat with empty plates and drinks for over half an hour after our meal with 4 people in the restaurant including us, let down a very nice meal would be hesitant to return as i can imagine the service would be even worse at a busier period of time, as we had to ask for our plates to be taken away, now having to go elsewhere for desert because of the poor service

My husband booked a Sunday lunch for both of us to celebrate my 60th birthday 🎈. On arrival we were shown to a reserved table Nunber 5 and asked to wait for waiting staff to come to us. A waitress soon came along and asked for our drinks order, she took it and went and soon returned with the drinks. As she was leaving, we heard singing of a “ happy birthday “ on a different table. Myself and my husband looked at each other and then at the waitress and we said to her “ oh you have got quite a few birthday celebrations today then”. The waitress looked at us quizzically and said, no we’ve only got just the one, to which I said to her that my husband had booked this lunch here today to celebrate my birthday. My husband looking at the waiting staff, nodded his head in agreement. Oh of course it’s your birthday too so happy birthday, the staff uttered nonchalantly as she walked away. Then our food arrived. My minted lamb shank, but served with out the mint. When asked why the lamb shank was plain, the waiting staff retorted rather aggressively, this is minted lamb shank. The gluten free gravy was gloopy and thick enough to paste up wallpapers. Then, we were asked if we would like some dessert 🍨 to which we said yes. I’ll be back with the menu and away he went. We waited fifteen minutes for him to return with the dessert menu, but never did. At this point, we decided to pay for our meals and leave. My husband was sad on my behalf and kept apologising for the terrible experience to which I reassured him that I was ok. 👌. Granted for sure , we’ll not be going back there. In the past, we had enjoyed some good fish and chips. 🍟.

WOW and not in a good way. The food we had was so standard and cheap. I can't believe they charge the prices they do. We were looking forward to a nice country pub style lunch, I ordered the faggots and mushy peas for £10.45 and my friend the slow cooked belly for £19.90 and opted to have it as a roast. It was awful, the faggots seemed to be Mr Brains, the mash out of a packet and the mushy peas out of a tin, this meal is easily a £3 meal. The pork wasn't pork belly more like a slab of pork covered in an overwhelming taste of rosemary, yet the rest of the food was very bland, the potatos not very nice at all the stuffing uncooked. We were asked quite early into our meal if everything was ok. At this point, we had not tasted everything on the plate, so we hesitantly said yes. As my friend continued to taste the food, it was then she realised how bad it was, I tried all the food on her plate and I agreed. I ate my faggots and mash, it was bog standard but a meal I have eaten many times at home. We don't like to complain, but it was impossible not to, especially with the amount of food left. As we were asked early on if our meal was ok and we said yes, apparently you can't change your mind and my friend was charged the full amount (she would have been happy with any gesture of a discount) but was given a compliments card and told to email the team. We were looking forward to eating, but can safely we won't be returning.

Unfortunately a disappointing experience for us. Myself and another person ordered the lamb shank. We found it tough and usually the meat would fall off the bone. I think This item was overpriced for what it was. Another person ordered the beef and asked before hand if it was fatty, of which they were told no. On arrival it was incredibly fatty and they could not eat it. Somebody else orders the trio of meats, but found pork was missing. When they told the server, the server went back to get the meat and came back with turkey. The dessert was great and redeemed part of the experience. I'm not sure I will return in the future.

We stopped there for a pint mid way in a country walk. Weather was excellent so we sat outside; they have loads of tables in a large patio by the canal. Quite a nice place to sit with a pint or two in the autumn sun. Despite all of us having ordered drinks, and some of us ordered nibbles, a bloke made a fuss about some of the group having a sandwich they brought with them. Because of this, I may consider a different place to stop when we walk in the area.

Nuestras sucursales familiares norte y sur eligen a The Black Boy como nuestro punto de encuentro a medio camino. Siempre hemos disfrutado de buena comida y servicio en un ambiente agradable, y el almuerzo de hoy no fue la excepción. El filete estofado (uno salpimentado) , el salmón, y el bistec y el pastel de cerveza eran excelentes, y se compartían los pudines (esponja del tratado; pastel de queso). La hora del almuerzo estaba ocupada, pero no hubo retraso significativo en el servicio (nos advirtieron de la posibilidad). Cuando llegué a casa, me di cuenta de que había dejado mi teléfono. Mi esposa llamó por teléfono y le aseguraron que mi teléfono se mantenía seguro y que podría hablar con alguien mañana sobre la recolección o publicación. Gracias a todo el equipo de Black Boy.

Everything about the Black Boy is excellent - location, facilities, service, food, atmosphere. It is the preferred half-way meeting place for our northern and southern family members. Today (26Oct2024) we enjoyed lunch: braised beef (one peppered), steak pie, and salmon. Puddings (cheesecake and treacle sponge) were shared. Lunchtime was busy, but there was only a short wait for meals to be served, and no rush to free our table. It worked to our advantage - longer to chat. We have visited a few times and will do so again. Thank you to all the team at The Black Boy. I managed to leave my phone behind. A quick call from home assured me that it had been found and was being kept safe for collection or posting. Good service.

Always incredible food when we visit The Black boy. Russ and the family are so friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Nothing is ever too much. We have 3 children, 2 of whom have special needs. One can become very loud in public places and gets a bit overwhelmed. She started to get impatient waiting for her meal ( although we had only waited about 20 minutes, may I add), so they rushed our order through, and she was so happy. Sat and ate all her food and thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you so much to all the Team. These little things make a massive difference to family's experiences.

Otras personas que entraban subían al bar para que les dijeran su servicio de mesa y esperaban algún momento a que les tomaran las órdenes. Pedimos la factura solo para esperar otros 15 minutos, luego fuimos al bar a pedir nuestra factura.

Walking the canal towpath, I stopped for some lunch. There was no real ale available. There was a pump for Tribute but that was off. Surely a pub this size should have a decent ale on sale; and one from the Midlands, not Cornwall! My tuna mayo baguette was a good size with plenty of filling. Unfortunately the bread itself was tasteless white pap with no crispness to the crust.

Staff were really friendly and helpful. The lady behind the bar who took the order and the man who brought it over were genuinely great. The food was okay and had good portion sizes. The vinegar looked like it could do with cleaning out though. Also a suggestion to maybe put signs on the bins in the beer garden saying "no dog waste" as a lady came off the canal and put her dogs waste in the bins in your garden whilst we were eating just a short distance away. Obviously not the pubs fault but just a suggestion. All in all, a great pub in a great location with brilliant staff would definitely visit again👍

Nice canalside setting. Clean and pleasant inside. The staff were friendly and helpful. Husband’s steak was very good and he thoroughly enjoyed it. I ordered the chicken Caesar salad and sweet potato fries. The Caesar salad was definitely not to my taste at all. The chicken was rubberised slices of processed something but nothing like chicken. The salad (how can you go wrong with a salad) had massive chunks of raw onion throughout. The taste of which pervaded everything. For my taste it was inedible and was sadly returned. Only the second time I’ve ever returned food in my life. Deserts were lotus sundae and lotus cheesecake. Both of which were delicious. I wasn’t charged for the salad but it had to be pointed out that it had been returned.

I came here with my daughter for lunch have been before but not been for a while the staff are really lovely and friendly but the e food has gone down hill I believe I had a roast dinner and had turkey and when it came there were lots of it but it was processed Turkey from a packet i suppose that’s what you should expect if your not at a Carvery I did end up leaving it because I got swarmed by wasps and flies but that was a fault of mine because was outside on a warm day
