Absolutely amazing meal today at the Black Bull. Fish pie was amazing. I'm so glad it's on the main menu. My husband had the special burger, and he said it's the best burger he has ever had. Hospitality was excellent, as always, thanks to a perfect ending to our long weekend Xxx

This pub just delivers every time we visit. The food is just incredible and there is loads of it and they are so welcoming. I had been thinking of stroganoff all day so it was an easy choice and my mates steak in a pot was nearly overflowing. Best chips around!

Always guaranteed great home cooked food & generous portions at The Black Bill. Our second visit of the month & second Turkey dinner as it was so good on the first visit I had to have it again! Followed by a mince pie cheesecake ‘cakeaway’ kindly boxed up for taking home. Friendly service as always, more than value for money.

Superb as always. Friendly service & a great choice of real ales on the pumps. Eaten here many times, excellent food. Huge portions, smaller portions available on quite a few meals, still very filling. I opted for the home made Steak & ale pie, generous portion with fresh veg & chips ..delicious. Husband chose Beef Stroganoff with chips, he said it was superb. Looked really nice, my choice next time 🤔 Definitely recommend eating here, great food at very reasonable prices. Dog friendly 🐾

These are "small plates for lighter eaters". Plus a drink each, Bill was £21:95! Great value for money, good quality, Bargain! Steak in a Pot with home cut chips and vegetables, and Lasagne accompanied by home cut chips and a side salad. Very tasty and plenty on the plate. You will not be disappointed if you eat here.

From the lovely attentive staff, right down to the truly wonderful meals, this was a tasty experience! Hubby had the butterfly chicken with Diane sauce, and chips, with an extra side of onion rings, and said if was really good! Son had the mince beef pie with mash, carrots and peas, and said it was the best he’s tasted! Daughter in law had the lasagne, with chips and salad, which she said was excellent. And I had the chicken carbonara (the lighter bite) which was fantastic! If you have a big appetite, go for the big serving, otherwise, the lighter bite is great, I couldn’t even finish it all!! There were so many onion rings, we all got to taste them, and they were wonderful! We all wished we could have had room for dessert, they looked great, and were a decent price too! We will certainly be returning to the Black Bull, there are so many different choices to try! Loved the booth where we sat too! The gentleman who served us was VERY nice too!

This Gastro pub was virtually next door to our accommodation and we visited on Friday 14th with iur hists and very good friends who live in Preesall.What a meal. Substantial and full of flavours. My wife had the Black Pudding starter while I, a traditionalist, went for the Prawn Cocktail. My wife hasn't yet stopped talking about her starter some 3 days later. For the mains, I had the Haddock and chips and she had the steak and ale pie. Both were delicious and the portion size would fill even the most ravenous guest.I didn't have to pay for this meal as it was covered by our over-generous hosts (thank you) but I noted the prices on the menu and can confirm that the meal represents excellent value for money.We'll be back

We have had two meals here, lunch which was excellent and the Christmas menu which was disappointing. The lunch was superb and was our first visit, we had baguettes with salad and chips and they were delicious with plenty of filling. the pub is a proper pub with tables tucked away and very cosy. We booked christmas lunch of this basis and brought some friends and were disappointed. Not with the standard of the food which was good but that half of the menu was not available, specifically the bits we wanted!!

Within half an hour we were sat at our table drinks in hand waiting for our meal.Food was excellent as always and Anthony even got my wife's favourite dish which was not on the specials board that day. All the family agreed that this made our day special.

We went to celebrate my Dads ninety fourth birthday. Although born in Walsall in the midlands he moved to Preesall as a youngster and grew up there until moving to Blackpool in the 1940's so there was a lot of nostalgia involved.The pub so I'm told was closed and empty for a time and then refurbished and returned to its former glory as an old world hostelry,low ceilings with roof beams and sash windows, old photographs and all the genuine paraphernalia that you might expect. A good selection beers,wines and spirits on offer and a great meal was had. Pork chops for me and my partner Alice with all the trimmings, fish and chips for my mum & dad all served piping hot, cooked in a traditional way. You have to wait but its worth it whilst soaking up the atmosphere of the place.The price is a little more than some other places but only pence and is well recommended. Everybody with our party enjoyed it and by the looks of things so did everybody in the pub.A word of caution though about the roads over Wyre. There seems to be quite a lot of 21st century boy racers and motorcyclists in the area on 19th century designed roads so keep your eyes peeled, also the car park at the rear of the pub can be a bit awkward but don't let it stop you having a great visit .

lived in the area for 12 years, often called in for a drink or two. Have no idea why we have not eaten here for some time. There is a good selection of dishes and we ( and friends ) have recently tried half of them. Every dish has been good, plentiful and tasty. Their prices are also very reasonable. Service is friendly and we have always received a warm welcome. Would definitely recommend. Tip: if more than 2 in your party I would definitely recommend reserving a table, it quickly gets booked up at the weekends, mid week you will probably be ok

Been aaay so went to see parents and they took me for a bit of lunch. It's only down the road for us so very convenient. The food was fantastic for the money. It's not gourmet and didn't expect so nor did I wish for. Just good pub grub at a decent price and it delivered that perfectly. I had steak and ale pie. Decent portion and upon asking for a little more gravey they obliged no problem. Veg was just carrots and peas. Not sliced in a fancy way that means they can charge the earth just cooked and put on the plate next to a nice piece of home made steak pie (good chunks of meat) and home cooked chips. It was a very good portion size all for £8.50. Dad had Gannon £11 which he says was every bit as nice as the place they usually go but was £2 cheaper. Mum had lagsange £8 which she said was a bit lacking in tomato but was happy enough.

Having recently moved into the village of Preesall and having heard good things about The Black Bull my wife and I decided to pay a visit. We had passed a number of times and the car park and parking outside appeared to be full which was a good sign. Rather than take the car we walked along The Wyre Way to Hambleton and round to The Black Bull. We were certainly ready for lunch. There certainly was plenty of it, Scampi and Chicken/Black Pudding in mustard sauce. Both meals were cooked well but the overall feeling was one of disappointment. Somehow they weren't what we were expecting. 'Dirty Chips' - fries with melted cheese and bacon bits. The chips weren't cooked properly, pale and limp. I wasn't expecting half a dozen small pieces of bacon and a tiny amount of grated cheese melted on top of the chips for the extra £2.50. Staff were friendly and attentive. Beer was good.

We came to The Black Bull for tea after it was recommended by our Airbnb host in Preesall. The pub was really full with plenty of people eating which we always interpret as the sign of a good pub. We were seated in a quiet back room and the waitress even came and took our order at the table rather than having to note a table number and order at the bar. My wife went to the bar and ended up chatting to the landlady for about 10 minutes, my wife is a chatter but it shows how friendly it was.

We were called to celebrate my husbands birthday. We thought we would try it after reading the 5* reviews, and I’m pleased to say we were not disappointed. We started with the soup of the day which was Leek and Potato, and delicious. We both ordered the Steak for the main meal and I can honestly say it was the nicest Steak weve had for a long time. We like our steak well done and it can some times be quite tough if cooked to long but the steak we had at the Black Bull was lovely and tender and juicy. We were greeted by the lovely resident black Labrador who is very nosy and cute. We will definitely be going back the next time we have something to celebrate, if not before.

I love this little pub. Usually greeted first by the resident Labrador so what could be better than that? It looks the part with its quirky interior which is a mix of tiny little rooms so beware if you are tall, lots of head ducking required! But you are rewarded with a fabulously friendly atmosphere. Always busy for dining, which in my book is a very good sign, so if yours is a large party I would recommend reserving a table. The food is excellent, something for everyone, and there are always specials on the board. Portions are big so you most certainly won't leave feeling hungry. Service is also excellent and there's never a long wait for food or bar service. Parking can be a bit tricky at busy times as its a small village but if you're anywhere near here it is definitely worth visiting.

Visited the black bull this Sunday lunchtime with family, I ordered the cheese and onion pie, it was the best, the portions were brilliant, we all enjoyed our meals and the service was great, lovely, tasty, affordable food in a welcoming setting.. Highly recommended.

As always the food was great and the atmosphere very welcoming. The pub was busy as it usually is which is a good indicator of a well run and popular establishment. The food, as always was of the highest standard and the guest beers excellent. Top marks for a very well run pub.

We went today for our Christmas meal. Absolutely lovely. We go regularly to The Black Bull and the service is always excellent and friendly. The food is always great.I'm a vegetarian coeliac and the staff are so good and they were great about arranging a three course Christmas meal for me. Compliments to chef Laura for a fabulous meal and I haven't been 'glutened'! It is very difficult to get a vegetarian, gluten free option in most places but they are great here and don't make it a problem and don't make me feel awkward.Great place. Highly recommend.Heather and Kev

Food tastes great and the staff are really friendly but the place is a dump. Doesnt seem like the restaurant is ever cleaned... there was food and dirty dishes left on other tables and not cleared the whole time we were there (no one was even sat at those tables when we arrived). Upon searching the food hygiene score they have only scored 2. So no surprise that 24hrs after eating there we all have food poisoning.

**Update** Have just been back for Breakfast and it wasn't that great I'm afraid to say, so downgraded to a 3* now. My date had pancakes with strawberries and it looked like roadkill, and tasted very Mehhhhh, is all we could say. Panicked super thick and bland, like a cake almost. The only highlight was the delicious FroCo (frozen custard). I had the XXL muffin stack, which looked huge in the picture, but in reality no bigger than a Mac's one. Again just mehhhh. The only highlight was the magic dusted tater tots, nice. Photos attached for reference. Service still about the same, but as they'd just opened I got a bit of that 'justbwoken up' vibe from the young staff. Also, they seasonally change the menus so didn't have what I'd gone for, the French Toast which is heavenly. Real let down today really. **Previous review: Wow, the Burnt bacon ends in Bourbon sauce were stunning. So we're the battered Gherkins, yum. Fajitas also great. The only letdown was my friends Bird and Beast Burger, the chicken was lovely but the beef burger part tasted like something out of a freezer from Iceland. Shouldn't be served it's that poor. Didn't ruin the night though, good service and a great meal overall
