The Black Bull in Liverpool

Food was really good, wasn’t waiting ages for it and all food was delicious, elizah was very friendly, I highly recommend the mixed grill

Food excellent not so good service

What a lovely cosy quaint pub, so welcoming, atmosphere, ambience, warmth, and most of all excellent service. Too many staff to mention but I had the pleasure of speaking to Sue, Tia and David, above 5 stars 👌

Food was lovely. Staff were friendly. Nice, warm atmosphere in pub. Didn't wait long for service considering how busy it was.

We were a party of 6 for Xmas day lunch it's was lovely from start to finish. The atmosphere was really nice and festive and all staff were very attentive and happy. The food was great couldn't fault the whole experience.

The place was overflowing with people as it was Christmas Eve but the bar staff did incredibly well and the wait wasn’t too long. The real ale selection was great, for Liverpool. There were lots of people eating but I didn’t try the food. I will definitely go again and next time I’ll try the food.

Good pub. car park available Great food. Pleasent and efficient service. Busy on Xmas day. Nice atmosphere. Would go again.

Thoroughly enjoyed a meal at the Black Bull last night. Service and food were great. A really good atmosphere. Back again tonight with another friend. Its a great place to take family and friends for a meal and a catchup.

The food was gorgeous the service was lovely the atmosphere was fantastic really was gorg food was just delightful

Fantastic food and staff very cheerful and smiley x

Another great meal and pleasant time with dear friends. Service as always cheerful and good banter. A regular haunt for the past year along with our friends. Keep up the good work. Happy Christmas to one and all.

Excellent food, beer and service with a good atmosphere.

The English village pub is the greatest of all things on earth and the Black Bull is perhaps its apogee. Served by the two of the most friendly people I've ever met. Dave and Meghan. Both are a credit to the company.

Had a family birthday meal on Saturday and it was amazing! Every plate empty and the staff were brilliant. Well impressed!!!

Staff always friendly and food is spot on

Thoroughly enjoyable food and atmosphere. Considering the pub was very busy, the wait for meals was better than expected. The staff were very attentive.

It's a lovely place but price's are expensive plus there's no WiFi as we normally take pictures, so no pictures were taken.

Service was excellent and the pub was well maintained

Brilliant food tonight amazing staff Sue.

Lovely restaurant with great staff and nice food. Sue was great and singing and was very pleasant.

Lovely pub, great food, nice staff. Sue was very pleasant and a great singer.

We have been here a few times and had good service ect Unfortunately even when I had called the Black Bull to ask for a low table to accommodate older family members was spoken to very abruptly and then the phone hung up on me ! On the day of the meal the wrong starter came out and the pub manager was extremely rude and really not happy about changing the dish to what was wanted! It was extremely orkward and we where so pleased when another member of staff who was extremely helpful served us ! Will not be returning!

Great fun at Breakfast with Santa, breakfast was really nice and Santa was great with my 1 year old.

A gorgeous time at Breakfast with Santa, thank you to Sue and the team for making us feel so welcome.

Grrat service even in a busy periord

Breakfast with Santa was a fantastic experience as always, food,service and Santa were great. Thank you!

9 of us met up for early Christmas Dinner. We were seated in the back room, it was lovely very cosy, fire burning, with all the original features of this lovely pub. The food couldn't be faulted, the service was brilliant , staff very pleasant and happy nothing too much trouble, not that we had any issues. I highly recommend this pub I've used for the past 15 years a d never been disappointed.

Lovely food, Jenny was pure waitress she went above and beyond to make us comfortable, of there was more than 5 stars she would get it.

The staff were great, the food was great and the open fire was excellent. It gave the Xmas vibes I was craving on Dec 1st.

Hideous and ghastly. Unfriendly old bar staff. Avoid at all costs

Good range of well kept beers. Food served with a friendly smile. What more could you ask for.

David, Jen and sue were lovely staff, very friendly and accommodating. The food was lovely too. Overall great experience

Fabulous value for money , staff superb would highly recommend

Lovely snug with open fire Beautiful Christmas decorations Friendly staff Good food at great prices Lovely wine reasonably priced We had three meals and a bottle of wine for £55 without any discounts - great value for money

All the staff are polite and helpful the food was served at an adequate pace and it was delicious

Good pub, great atmosphere and lovely staff. Beers not bad either 🙂

Just popped in to share a bottle of wine with friends.

Brilliant food and great service

Had a lovely meal tonight - sea bass and chickpea curry and mixed grill - highly recommended. The staff were all lovely and really helpful which made our evening very pleasant.

Very chilled atmosphere and excellent service. The staff are a credit to the pub

Was decent, had a fun time, would recommend the cider, the food is delicious.

Had a pleasant experience, staff are lovely and food is great! Good range of ales and casks. Would highly recommend!

This place is amazing clean warm and welcoming with great food and service highly recommended don and the team make this place one you want to return to time and time again

Refused to accept a stonehouse gift card when it is part of the dining out and can be used at any Mitchell and butler venue? Obviously staff and management need to check terms on all cards used as none seem to know the conditions. Had sirloin steak but was very fatty, but the refusal of a valid gift card topped the expectations.

Went for lunch today had a lovely time. Staff were fab couldn’t do anymore for us. Jenny was especially lovely great customer service and so helpful. Will return again soon ❤️

We had a roast on Sunday, it was delicious. The staff were very friendly, we really enjoyed our afternoon. Thank you

Love this cosy pub to chill out in. It has great vibes

great food and cosy vibes. excellent deals on food

Went along for lunch with friends was very busy with kids and adults, as they were having a kids day due to Halloween, staff seemed very rushed and not approachable due to this, waited half an hr for food and wasn’t impressed with presentation, just looked like burger and chips had been thrown on a plate , not even with any salad as garnish, the fish dinner was ok but fish was undercooked, ordered a brûlée with biscoff for pudding, wasn’t impressed at all as it came in a small old cup , 2 inches deep, tasted like tinned ambrosea custard with a bit of burnt sugar on the top with 2 biscoff biscuits for £6.00 ? And definitely was not brûlée, I’ve been here quite a few times as we live in the area but this was not one of my better meals , yes they were rushed , yes they’re looking for a new chef , but you can’t cut back on presentation or quantity

Didn't eat. We just had drinks, beautifully decorated, recommended

Food was delicious 😋. Greatly improved from last time .

Lovely place to eat, nothing too much trouble, staff polite and friendly. Brilliant!

Roast dinners dreadful The young man on the bar was very helpful, otherwise it would have been 1star for service due to dinners taking 45min to arrive

I visited this pub on Saturday with my wife, and we loved it. The place is nice, the food is good, the staff is friendly, and the prices are fair. We’ll definitely come back again. Highly recommend!

very nice pub good food portions a bit on the small side

A decent pub that defies it's chain status by having excellent and friendly staff. It's let down slightly by inconsistent food, occasionally poor choice of, or poorly kept real beer, but on a good day, it is very good indeed. The beer garden is adequate, the menu is good and the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly.

Amazing service by Sue. Would highly recommend

Great place to come and have food with the kids. Staff are great (especially Sue). Really nice food and nice atmosphere.

Got the fixed menue and the food was superb. It's clear they are focusing on quality food. Staff really friendly and helpful. A very enjoyable afternoon. Dog friendly too which meant we could take our doggy too.

Absolutely lovely staff, service is amazing and food is lovely too. Wonderful place to eat atmosphere is great

Had a great experience here, the food was amazing and everybody working there was very polite and welcoming. Will definitely come again soon!

Generally, great. But two of our party ordered the avocado and mixed grain salad which according to the menu should have been 'Bulgur wheat, giant couscous, butternut squash, red onion and cranberries, mixed with little gem lettuce, fresh sliced tomato, cucumber and ripe avocado tossed in a zesty pineapple & ginger dressing.' and received basic salad - lettuce, tomato, cucumber, avocado, red onion. Very disappointed. Shame to pay £9 for basically a large side salad

Went here with my husband and daughter on Wednesday evening, nice atmosphere, had starters mains and a huge desert. Food was served quickly and very hot, enjoyed by all 3 of us. Will be in again as we are local.

Sue was very attentive and the food was lovely

Had a lovely meal with family for my husbands Birthday. Food was beautiful and staff were amazing. Would definitely recommend.

Nice location - good outside seating and a pretty pub. Beer selection was ok. I'd return if I lived in the village, but not sure it's worth a trip out especially.

Lovely staff very friendly and make my visit a pleasure

Came yesterday for a Sunday roast with my family staff where really friendly and made use feel welcome food was delicious and service was fast we will be coming back

Great Service & Very tasty New Menu

Great service, lovely food and a nice atmosphere for a party of 5.

Had roast beef Sunday dinner it was delicious, will definitely be returning.

The staff were lovely and friendly and the food was cooked beautifully. Very good value.

Great service and good reasonably priced food

We had a very nice time,also the food was great.We have been to the Black Bull numerous times.

Went along for 70s night and had a great night. Singer was very good and the atmosphere was great! Would recommend a visit.

What a smashing pub! Different rooms & tables to choose to sit at. Love the decor. The beers were great and the food was fresh, delicious & wrll price. Staff were great & very friendly too. Will be back very soon!

Great time had by all. Food was lovely and well presented. Don and the Staff were very friendly. Service was spot on. Would highly recommend. We will be back

Great visit as always! Made the most of the last week with the 25% off drinks voucher. It’s great you can scan your loyalty too now, the rewards just keep stacking up in our wallet on the app. Which gives away how often we visit the pub. Always a lovely time had, the staff are fantastic

Visited this evening for food with my family - ordered the Shepherds Pie. It looked lovely on the plate but was disappointed to find no actual lamb inside the pie (lots of veg and gravy just no meat). I returned it and was told they come pre made so not worth ordering a new one as that would be the same. I then ordered a lasagna- this too was disappointing, with very little meat and gluppy, soggy pasta. I gave up to be honest at this point as my family had by then finished their meals. I won’t go back again for food. The young man serving was very polite though.

Nice beet garden in the back with heat lamps. Would recommend to get a drink in the back with the heat lamps.

Lovely pub, well kept beer and great service. Highly recommended. Thanks Don 👍

Good old fashioned pub with a modern, welcoming interior. Food was good and staff attentive and pleasant

We called in on a Friday late afternoon. I saw on the website kids could eat for £1 so we thought we would give it a try. Partner had a mixed grill, sausage and mash for my son, I had the curry the veg one and the youngest had chicken burger and chips. All were cooked well no complaints really. My son didn’t like the chicken burger as it was a chicken fillet in a bun and not in breadcrumbs (just incase your kids can be fussy like mine) Staff work hard here but they are still efficient, friendly and on the ball. Service was good. Starters were good, nachos,chicken wings and potato samosas. We had deserts too which were nice and a decent sized portion. There was a bit of a problem with the kids eat for £1, something about me making it a meal deal because i ordered starter and a desert with it so ask before you order. The manager sorted it out for us so it worked out ok. Also download the app before you order and sign up so you can access the other offers like a free drink or 25% off a round of drinks. Also ensure you put your car registration in when you arrive. We would visit here again.

Good atmosphere as usual. Good selection of meals. Nice food. Katsu chicken lovely. Nice and warm. Would recommend.

Disappointed. Having visited my local Ember I decided to give this one a go whilst visiting my parents. Usually I am very happy with the food received but in this case the wife's gammon was chewy and peas undercooked . Dad's chicken pie was tough, it's associated veg cold and undercooked. My own burger was dry and over cooked whilst Mums fish and chips was only just 'acceptable' Very disappointed and doubt we'll be attending again.

We’ve just had a lovely lunch in the Black Bull, We were served by Jenny who was lovely , Iasked her if I could have had a finger bowl with my chicken wings and bbq sauce and she said she would ask.

Just been for a nice lunch in the black bull gateacre, lovely food, fantastic service, brilliant staff always make you feel welcome .Dave , elisher thank you for today ... just one bad thing to say is the men's toilets are disgusting / disgrace

Came here for my dinner had a lovely server named Kara who really smashed it out of the park and we had a good laugh about how we have the same name! I would suggest getting the ultimate burger. It’s not called ultimate for nothing!

Really good service in a lovely environment. Would come again.

lovely afternoon with the family, kid eat everything. Great service

On the nicest day so far this year we sat outside and had a lovely lunch.

Great atmosphere, lovely staff and excellent food.
