The food and service excellent however probably due to the age of the premises not disabled friendly. Carpark is pebbles making it very difficult to manage on two sticks. Two steps to get in. And no accessible toilets. Very difficult.

Been here twice, both times after a funeral. Which when you think about it is a bit strange. Both times, the food and service were excellent. It's a lovely pub that we'll have to return to soon.

Another lovely Sunday afternoon meal at The Black Boy. We love that our four legged friend is welcome and the food is always good. We had a super salmon & prawn starter and then a Halloumi salad and a Scampi. One day I will save some room for dessert as the home made cheesecake looked amazing!

Sorry to have to say, but today's visit was very much unexpected, I ordered garlic bread with my meal, I never knew so much mold came with it. More mold than bread, I would have expected the person prepping the food to notice or the server. Sadly that was not the case. And I was served this. Just to say. Unlikely Inwill be back there.

We popped in for lunch as we were in the area on holiday. The menu is quite small, but they do offer a specials board aswell. Everyone's meals were really delicious and the staff really friendly. The chips are very tasty, like little roast potatoes, definitely worth getting some of those as a side. Loads of off road parking and also an outside seating area to sit on warmer days

Buffet looked great, tasted great and lasted for those of us there. Hot drinks were available and other drinks were well priced. Even had a garden for the few kids in attendance to be able to go out and have a run around. Maybe next time we are in the area, we'll try having a meal.

As out of towners we we're hoping for a bit of traditional home cooked pub grub this afternoon. That's exactly what we got and was blown away by the quality. Best fish and chips I've had at a pub, huge portions and freshly cooked. The amazing bar staff even went out they're way to get me some take away ice!! A real gem this place, don't drive past pop in you won't be disappointed.

We held a wake here and my wife had lunch. The food was well prepared and there was a good selection of dishes. Staff were friendly and helpful. The pub is close to Weeley crematorium, so they are well organised for wakes. There is plenty of parking. Clean toilets. My wife enjoyed her lunch, though she thought it was a little expensive. Unfortunately, the restaurant closes at 6:00 pm.

We stopped in on our way to the coast. Very welcoming locals, and visitors, pub. Dogs welcome too: our Jack Russell was spoilt rotten - received her own personal drinking bowl and some biscuits from our lovely friendly waitress. Food options are what I'd describe as standard traditional pub food options. We chose fish n chips with mushy peas - incredibly fresh fish which flaked with your fork in a crisp tasty batter. Very naughty but nice chunky chips. Plenty of parking and garden if you want to sit outside. So, if you're looking for somewhere to have a 'local' welcome break, try The Black Boy.
