The Black Bull in West Lindsey - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Been here today with a group of friends, the food was amazing, the staff were so friendly and accommodating… I would recommend this pub to anyone 😊

Fantastic Sunday lunch. Great food , great service, great venue , great prices. Would definitely recommend. Lovely beer garden.

We went here for Sunday lunch and had a fabulous experience. We were a large party of 15 and were served very promptly by the lovely staff. The food was delicious I would definitely recommend it.

Since moving to the village in November I have frequented the pub multiple times, sometimes for food and sometimes for drinks and I can say with absolute certainty it is one of if not the nicest pubs I’ve been too in a long time. The food is incredible, everything on the menu is always cooked brilliantly and presented beautifully and there is lots of choice - the bar staff are always happy, welcoming and chatty and the atmosphere is amazing. The beer garden is also a credit to the pub, lots of space, pretty setting & lovely in the sun! Can’t recommend the black bull & it’s food enough!

Sunday Lunch is Awesome … Excellent value for multiple courses menu. Cooked to perfection, lean and tasty. Well presented served by wonderful staff, who are so helpful and friendly. Delicious applies to every course. Comfortable surroundings, for us it was well worth a 50 minute drive, see you again soon 👏👍

Just had Sunday lunch here. The meat was tender and well cooked. All the trimmings were delicious. I wouldn’t usually have sugar snap peas but they worked fine as part of the mixed veg. The cauliflower cheese was great. Only criticism, the meat and roast potato portion was quite small. We ordered an extra serving of roasties. The staff team was pleasant and helpful. We arrived very early for our table but they let us order earlier even though every table was booked. We would happily go back.

17 of us went for lunch. The service was outstanding and the food was amazing. Considering how many there was of us we didn't have to wait to long

Firstly would like to thank Harvey ( and young lady with glasses ) for a very pleasant experience from start to finish considering the pub was very busy .. Sunday lunch was excellent we opted for all 3 courses , very fresh and the gravy was the main talking point of our table. Will return with regards Tim

paulson family of 10, great food all meals came at once, good value, friendly helpful staff, nice atmosphere, good disabled access, much to be recommended will come again.

Beautiful pub with beautiful food and a beautiful atmosphere I would recommend this place to anyone.

Go to lunch regularly at the pub as I work nearby. Always exceptional service and very good prices, especially for what you get! Shoutout to Jack (head chef) for the food, especially the omlettes and baguettes!! Highly recommend :)

Terrific Sunday lunch in family friendly country pub: really friendly service, delicious food and reasonably priced. Would highly recommend

Can not thank the black bull enough for a fabulous meal. 19 of us and 19 really happy people, empty plates all round superb, I personally had the steak and WOW , thank you again. Lovely selection of gins too!!

Continued… Two gravy boats of hot gravy was brought to our table which warmed and softened the food. We were treating our family so it was really disappointing that there was no treat and it cost us upwards of £170!! We all come from West Yorkshire were the food is always well cooked and plenty of it! I guess we have been spoilt! Ps… my husband used the men’s toilet and after washing his hands, used the dryer in which you have to place your hands down into the machine. He said it was so dirty inside he had to wash his hands again! On a positive note ~ the pub was incredibly busy, so it is obviously a popular place to dine! We obviously caught them on an off day!

Beautiful little pub. Spacious inside. Our first time visiting, due to the poor weather we couldn't appreciate their lovely rear garden area. Buffet was all homemade and very very tasty plenty of different options also... (Vegetarian etc). Think we may have to make the trip and re visit here for an evening meal.

Fantastic full English breakfast would highly recommend !!! Food was hot cooked to perfection and presentation great .

Visited here twice, whilst staying nearby, staff were really friendly and couldn’t do enough for us, food was very good, tasty and plentiful. We really enjoyed our visits and will definitely return.

I live local and had the Sunday roast here before (lovely) but in three occasions phoning to book at table, phone goes unanswered and no one calls back until leaving an arsy message that is. Went last Thursday and what a shambles. The food was vile, place was understaffed and the bar / wait staff was over worked. People queuing at bar just to order food or to inform staff of their arrival. Glasses dirty. Tables dirty. People screaming at football match. Place needs a complete revamp is it a sports bar or a restaurant … or an extension like the carps at fiskerton to separate the two, which is stunning and would recommend.

There were 5 of us dining - parents, grandparents and son. Very busy! The landlady (or front of house) was very friendly, with a delightful bubbly personality and efficient too at taking our order and checking we had drinks etc. We all really enjoyed our meals but from my point of view, I have to single out the "Poke" bowl as being superb! A lovely range of different items, served with rice with a choice of different options to choose (I had the King prawn with chilli and ginger) The puddings sounded wonderful but alas we were too full! Would definitely visit again!

Booked a few days ago for three Adults and my 18 Month Old Grand Daughter. Good job i did, otherwise i would have missed this real treat. Staff on our visit- spot on. The whole experience was very good, almost a pity that we could not have booked nearer to Christmas when i am sure it will be even more magical. The Service was great. The Food , Brilliant, quality first class. The Blade of beef, a must have again if available. Beautifully cooked to perfection, and so flavoursome, i could have eaten it three times over. The unusual combination of Bubble & Squeak with Red Cabbage works very well. Nothing left on our plates.The crispy shreds of ??? possibly parsnips were also good and unusual. The whole availability of Specials, starters and Main menus would provide for everyone`s tastes. We all enjoyed the short time we spent today, and from the brief time in the area, we very much like Welton. We live quite some distance away in Mablethorpe, but will return when we can to sample more Timothy Taylor Landlord once more. Thanks to Rebecca Walton for her attention to us.

Where to start? Called in the black bull for Sunday lunch with the family service was first class instantly, as for the food, the portions were spot on hot and very well presented, all round perfection, would highly recommend a visit

We booked to have a meal for a large group of us celebrating a big birthday as we were staying locally (there were 11 of us in total including 4 kids) Our waitress was brilliant and nothing was too much trouble. We were a tad worried when she said there was no Fish & Chips (gutted as I was going to have that!!) nor mash!! We proceeded to make our orders and looked forward to tucking in to our feast!! We needn’t have worried…very generous starter portions were presented (we’d highly recommend the salt & pepper chicken strips or the mushrooms on toast). We all polished them off and anticipated our mains. YUM!! The steak was done to perfection, the fries were excellent and there was plenty of homemade tartar sauce for our scampi!! We had such a lovely meal, we’ve booked up for lunch on our check-out day. Thank you

Lovely Sunday lunch for 6 including excellent sticky toffee pudding as dessert. Returned on Thursday and the main courses were good. However the sticky toffee pudding was neither sticky nor toffee pudding. It was sooooo disappointing. Completely different. The reaction of the staff was indifferent saying they were too busy although the restaurant was not full. No apology was given. Poor customer relations.

This is a handy location for us being close to Lincoln and on our way back home. We have eaten here a couple of times. The first was fabulous back in the summer of 2021 when there were still restrictions due to covid and we were happy to be able to eat outside. We had tried again a few months ago but found it closed with no notice to explain why. This had put us off and we didn’t try again until today. I enjoyed my avocado and poached egg on flatbread with hollandaise sauce, although I struggled to cut through the bread with the knife provided. My 90-year-old mum had the same and eventually had to admit defeat and just ate the topping. A great shame as it was tasty. I suspect the avocado wasn’t fresh but the eggs were poached to perfection and the sauce was good. My husband had scampi and chips and was very disappointed. The chips were overcooked and almost impossible to eat and the scampi was similar. It is a shame because it has such good potential. I hope it improves again.

Came here for business and thoroughly enjoyed it. Staff were very friendly and the Mexican burger was great value for money! Recommend if you’re in the area for a light bite.

We had lunch at this pretty country pub yesterday. Unfortunately the fish delivery was late, so we couldn’t have fish and chips for lunch. Instead we chose pie (with chips and mushy peas), panini (with chips and salad), and avocado on toast with poached eggs, served with salad. We enjoyed our meal choices but thought that the menu was rather limited. There is a pretty outside garden which would be lovely on a summer day, and there is a good sized car park. In summary, a nice country pub serving decent food.

Popped in with my family, (2 adults, 2s small children) midweek lunchtime. Very friendly bar staff, wide ranging menu and childrens menu. Loaded fries were excellent. Only way to improve would have been to have a local ale on draft.

Being a chef myself I know how tough it is to execute large bookings whilst serving other tables as well. With only 2 chefs in the kitchen they did an amazing job serving 21 of us. Georgia our waitress was fantastic nothing was too much...

We ordered the homemade burgers with handcooked chips at this busy, village pub. Friendly staff and generous portions of food.

Great place. Staff very friendly. Visited here for a funeral. Food provided was greatly laid out and looked very presentable with lots of choices not just sandwiches. Drinks reasonably priced. Was very busy with everyone from the funeral but what I could see was well...

Excellent service Thursday 23 /01 food and beer up to the usual good standard but service was 5 stars.

We have eaten here twice in the last two months. First time was good, with good pub food and service. However on our second visit we were massively disappointed. The worst part was that they served my 72 year old mum undercooked chicken, it was still pink and raw in the middle of the breast. When we flagged it, they apologised and got my mum a fresh, properly cooked meal. This meant we’d all finished way before my mum which is always annoying but we let it go. They offered us free desserts by way of apology but when we got the bill they only gave us one dessert, not all four, for free. When we questioned it we were told WE had ALL misunderstood!!! And they stuck to just the one dessert free. As it was meant to be a nice evening out when my mum had come to visit we didn’t push it but I feel compelled to review it here to warn others as we just didn’t feel they took it seriously enough, given that undercooked chicken can give you salmonella, E. coli and other awful, potentially lethal illnesses! The chef apparently claimed he checked the temperature of it with a probe but clearly didn’t, or didn’t do it properly, so it would be good to hear they’re improving their food safety standards as who knows what else they are doing/not doing?!The service was friendly but incredibly slow and we had to chase for every service needed which was also disappointing.Such a shame that a lovely pub in a great village treats its locals this way, don’t think we’ll be visiting again and will be warning everyone we know in the village.

What a shame - such a beautiful village- you’d expect a warm welcoming atmosphere and reliable standard of food. Young staff nice enough but older management come across as disinterested. Been a few times before - find food hit and miss as is the atmosphere- given it enough chances, shan’t be going back.

Dropped in today hoping to eat. As soon as we walked through the door we were hit by a terrible smell, decided to have a drink only as we could not face eating in the place. Drank outside in the fresh air instead. Would definitely not visit again. Would rate lower than 1 star if I could.

Went to the pub for a few drinks.

Always meet here as a family. My sister lives in Oxford and we live in Birmingham. My nephew is at the nearby hospital. Lovely Easter Sunday, lovely food and a welcoming atmosphere.

Easter Sunday lunch at my local village pub. All the family are home, Sunny day, table booked, stroll to our local.

Reading previous reviews we must be just unlucky. We haven't visited the pub for some 18 months and were surprised how tired it was looking,. However it was full and busy and our table reserved for the meal we booked. No mats on the sticky tables, dirty glasses and the sea bass was off. The young waitress was excellent as we didn't wish to make any fuss and an alternative meal was ordered and was tasty. It was a busy Friday night and obviously locals were in enjoying their start to the weekend. However we will not be returning. Reading the other reviews perhaps we were just unfortunate but this doesn't excuse the lack of sparkle.

Smelt of fish when we walked in the door. Unusual on steak night.

No consistency in the host Chips during half time interval are raw Anyone younger than 60 won’t be able to answer half the questions

We came here tonight for a last minute meal. We hadn't booked but the staff were more than happy to accommodate us. Me and my husband ordered pizzas from the specials menu. And it was amazing! Non greasy,fresh ingredients. Absolutely delicious. We would highly recommend and definitely coming back!

First time visit today. Had a table for 6. Friendly staff and good service. Lovely selection of food. The special fish and chips was lovely. Very happy to go back again next time we're visiting.

Popped in over the festive period around 14/15th December only just got round to leaving a trip advisor. Table of 4 Thursday evening. Food was delightful jam packed full of flavour, I’ve also seen a comment saying the sea bass was un edible??? My partner had this and she said that it was probably one of the tastiest dishes she’d ever eaten and we eat out a lot! Nice village pub friendly staff and excellent food

Came with some friends for a Christmas meal prior to coming earlier on in the week for some lunch at this lovely village pub with a cosy fire. The food was to die for 2 had sea bass. 3 of us has blade of beef and the other 2 had turkey, every single one of us was blown away with how amazing the food was. Delicious. We all enjoyed 3 courses of high quality food with brilliant presentation. Hidden Gem? Definitely highly recommended.

Could not fault it. Party of 8 and we was all delighted with, food, friendly staff and other customers. We highly recommend and will certainly visit again. Thank you for a most enjoyable family get together. For those that complain about the small portion of chips maybe you should go to a carvery where you can eat as much you want.

Visited ‘The Black bull’ for their well known steak night and the food was absolutely amazing! I Will definitely recommend this pub to everyone.

I had the lamb rump special last week. It was to die for.... lovely pub, great atmosphere. Jam packed full of really happy customers all round. This place will be up there with the best.

Fuimos el sábado por la noche con un pequeño grupo de amigos y familiares. No hay muchas opciones en el menú, pero dos de nuestro grupo pidieron lubina con fideos orientales. Ambos dijeron que el pescado era pequeño y demasiado cocido, mientras que los fideos tenían tanta salsa de soja que apenas eran comestibles. Cuando se le informó de esto, la camarera dijo que informaría al chef, pero no recibimos ninguna disculpa u oferta de una alternativa. La comida tardó años en llegar y la factura se calculó incorrectamente.

Family of around 20 had booked for a meal. The pub was very busy, but the service was excellent. We all got our meals at the same time. The staff did a great job of delivering everyone a superb meal.Very popular pub.Also a good atmosphere.

Had a decent lunch and good draft pint - parking is easy outside the pub, friendly employees - infamous red arrows train nearby and have framed pictures on the walls

For pub grub the food was not bad. The menu left a bit to be desired as it was very sparce, roasts or burgers.

Meal out with friends. Cosy and warm setting, food atmosphere and busy. We shared a nacho and Camembert starter which was ideal between 3/4 of us to nibble on while we waited on mains. I had the black bull burger which was advertised with Cajun fries but actually came with plain fries but overall it was nice. The blade of beef looked and smelled really good. None of us had room for desert. Nice to see a village pub well supported and busy on a Tuesday night

Excellent. Had a family meal out. Pre booked menu. Staff were totally friendly from arriving. Brilliant table position. Party age range fron 4 weeks to 64yrs. All food was on time, cooked to perfection. Great range of desserts. Prices were very reasonable. Toilets were clean and non smelly. All in all had a fantastic meam and definitely worth another visit.

Having visited this pub for a meal , I was not to happy when ithe meal they put in front of me.arrived.

really nice pub. We had a table reserved which was just as well, early evening and it was very busy! Nice setting, it has been extended at some point, my partner had been there many years ago! Food was nicely presented and plentiful.

Great location in the village centre.

Been here a few times in the last few months and always pretty disappointed. Not that it’s awful just that the food doesn’t have much flavour especially for the price and the whole experience is just a bit drab just nothing special. Local so that’s handy at least but don’t bother traveling for it.

We enjoyed a very tasty, freshly cooked meal although It did take 45 minutes from ordering to arrival. Just a really nice country pub, friendly staff with great food in a relaxed environment, ideal! Well behaved dogs are allowed in The Tap Room Bar and there is plenty of parking, a very pleasant visit, thank you.?

Brilliant service with a brilliant meal. Village pub/restaurant at it’s best, friendly staff and reasonable prices. Can’t wait to eat there again as all meals at a very high standard

Fantastic food at reasonable pub prices in the picturesque village of Welton. The Black Bull Burger, topped with BBQ pulled pork being one of the best burgers I have ever had. Good choice of standard ales and ciders as well as alchopops and wines. Would highly recommend.

Un pequeño pub con un excelente jardín trasero y zona de juegos, el pub Black Bull tiene mucho que ofrecer al bonito pueblo de Welton. Visitamos hoy para el almuerzo y ordenados los huevos con jamón y patatas fritas dos veces. . Y tuve los cazadores de pollo que venía con patatas fritas, ensalada y col. Tanto la comida y el servicio eran muy buenos, y siempre es un placer comer decente. patatas fritas El Black Bull tiene una buena zona de barra y una zona de restaurante bien separadas. . . . Muy buena comida y servicio. . . 8 de julio. de 2017.

Todos pasamos una noche fantástica, todos veinticuatro dijeron que tenían buena comida y todo el personal era simplemente la mejor.

Comida excelente! No sirven porciones pequeñas, así que recibes lo que pagas. . Excelente relación calidad-precio y el personal encantador. Definitivamente volveremos. Recomiendo encarecidamente la tarta de queso.

What a great village pub this is. A lovely atmosphere, really nice outside space and absolutely fantastic food.

been numerous times for the steak special (2 for £20) and without exception the steaks have always been superbHave had both sirloin and ribeye (which I am a bit wary of since in other places they have varied between excellent and inedible) and they have all been consistently good - in fact I have never been to any other place more than a couple of times without getting a rough oneChoice of proper chips or french fries, proper crispy onion rings instead of those frozen monstrositiesHighly recommended - but book early on Wednesdays, it gets booked solid

Booked the Black Bull for our anniversary meal. A wonderful evening. The food was outstanding together with the service and surroundings. The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming. We will defiantly be returning.

The food at this pubis really really good and it can meet the tastes of all the family My grandson thought his chicken burger was excellent, the traditional roast beef lunches were also very good and my sea bass was done to perfection.This is a good place to go for a really good family lunch and I highly recommend it

Old style inn with no pandering to being modernised. Midway down a cobbled hill road, Cartway, with a lot of history going back to the 16th century, between High town and Low town and worth the diversion, but definitely not wheel chair friendly. Very popular with locals and visitors alike. Small inside with two back to back bars and a tiny seating and games area, darts and dominoes provided, no juke box but there is background music being played. I suspect the darts are for local tournaments as there would be no room for the three tables in there at the same time that any match may be on. Family and pet friendly with a small outside patio area overlooking the river.. A great selection of real ales. Bar food was excellent, We visited around lunchtime. Restaurant food isn't why you come here. There is a very tasty selection of homemade scotch eggs with such as chilli and garlic flavours or black pudding for example, plus homemade pork pies and the ubiquitous cheese/ham/onion/tomato cobs, made to order. Has a music night on Fridays.

Vrry expensive drinks..a glass of wine and a pint of beer in excess of 9 quid. Steak pie nowhere near as good as it used to be...and contained carrots! First pint beer slightly off. Service OK. Nice place but not the competition for Wetherspoons it used to be. Too many TVs for me...get rid of ‘em.

Enjoyed sitting outside in the beer garden having a drink. Well presented and have now got "Beech Huts" to hire outside for waitress service meals and drinks which look quite funky and fun. A novel idea to entertain. Only been in for drinks up to now but food does look and smell lovely.

Visited on Saturday afternoon with a total of 8 family members , really enjoyable afternoon , nice friendly pub with welcoming staff, this is my type of pub, looking forward to revisiting

Staff were friendly, restaurant looked tidy but won't go back. One meal was under cooked with a watery sauce, guess it was rushed, the other was so greasy it dripped back onto the plate and made a puddle. Disappointed.

Having visited this pub for a meal , I was not to happy when ithe meal they put in front of me.arrived. After complaining about the food I was served, they took it away , I thought great service and it was no problem, but when the waitress returned with a plate of food swimming in oil we asked to speak with the manager . When we tspoke to him told him of the problem he was not very helpful. We found him patronising and definitely didn't listen to what we had to say. . Having visited this pub for food several times both with family and friends I have found the food to either really good, and on the rare occasion only to be fair, but on this occasion the worst yet and I certainly will never recommend this pub to friends and family again after the way the manager spoke us today .

We had a lovely meal, Madras Chicken Curry, a vegetable curry and a steak..very good, tasty and hot! A few mix ups with the order, but rectified with a smile! Would go back again!

Tapas night at the Black Bull was excellent, the food was fresh, excellent quality and very authentic, wonderful atmosphere and great service, as always. We all enjoyed the evening and we are all looking forward to the next special themed night

We visited without booking and got a Sunday roast towards the end of their serving times, we shared a deep fried Brie, the main was delicious meat and what seemed like freshly cooked vegetables and shared a mince pie cheesecake which was also home made. My meal was washed down with a couple of pints of real ale. The table was clean and spacious. All in all it was a cracking pub meal for for a reasonable price.

The best place in the world for quizzes (Tuesday nights and BAFTA nominated - no not really). That's if you can get past Derek's cheekiness, which is extremely cheeky despite occasional rowdiness from the elders. His catchphrases will no doubt go down in history as some of the greatest. Life's biggest travesty was answered last week as the rollover jackpot was finally won at a whopping 145 pouuuuuuuuunds (imagine this in Derek's velvety tones and you're onto a winner!) 10/10, great experience. Avoid a gentleman with a blonde slick back moheecan and grey trench coat though - he likes to declare his answers, especially during the dreaded wipeout round. Good chips and cheese too.

All i want to say is what a fantastic deal they do for you on the Wednesday Night steak night offer 2meals for £20 We have the Rib Eye Steak with all the trimmings and have never yet been dissapointed.I would just point out it gets very busy so please book .

We just dropped on for a quick bite to eat. Considering it was a Saturday afternoon I thought that the place was really busy. Even though we were told that there may be a delay in our food being served I thought that we got it pretty quick. The food was fine no complaints at all. Nice comfortable seating good variety of ales. A wide range of meals to choose from.

I'll start from the beginning, booked for Sunday lunch with family. On arrival a table in the corner was pointed at by what I assume was the landlord (who having looked at me when I entered the premises the disappeared to the other side of the bar!) a very polite tho incredibly under trained (didn't know what was lager and what was bitter) waitress came to take our drinks order. We had to ask for menus when she returned with our drinks. The food was incredibly slow coming out we waited the best part of an hour! The land lady looked at our tables empty glasses about 3 times and eventually someone came to ask if we'd like some more drinks. The food was ok, but basic and I'm glad it was not anymore expensive than it was. The waitresses were very polite but I have never seen ruder, more unprofessional landlords than the two that have this place. They propped up the bar and occasionally cleared a table wasn't keen on the fact that they were drinking alcohol whilst serving etc. And to cap it off not even a thank you nor goodbye as we paid the bill and left! NEVER going back I've had better service in McDonald's!

Went there with a group of 8 - 5 adults, 3 children for my mums birthday. Not sure what to expect as only just moved to this area. Pub was friendly and a table had been set for 8 with decorations as asked for by us for the birthday girl. Drinks orders were taken at table so no going up to the bar. Only fault was the fizzy drinks were not fizzy but that was sorted out promtly so didn't mar the night. Starters came out and were delicious, a variety was chosen. Prawn cocktail was fresh and tasty, salad not limp, others had garlic bread, mozzarella sticks and they said they were nice. Main course most of us had the chicken dishes, 2 of us had the Hunters chicken, the chicken was moist and didn't taste like supermarket chicken, the chips were delicious and one of the best Hunters Chicken I have had in a long time - its one of my favourite choices on a restaurant menu and I have had a few Hunters chicken. The others had chicken burger (a piece of chicken in a brioche bun, salad) and that was enjoyed, The steak was pronounced nice and the Scampi was well received. Only a few had dessert, Chocolate brownies and they said it was lovely. A well deserved thumbs up for this place and its food. They were extremely busy that night with two large parties and others and managed to provide us with a great night. The staff brought out a cake that I supplied and we all sang happy birthday. We didn't feel rushed either. Some places you go to they want the table for other guests but not here. A place I would definitely come back to in the near future. Good value for money as well.

Arrived here for a night out for the first time.First impressions,very nice,spacious,clean.Had scampi and chips was excellent great staff,friendly and pleasant.Good choice of food and drinks.Will have to call again.No complaints.

We come to this pub on a regular basis for their steak night (Wednesday). It's great value and really good food with good service. Usually the steaks are cooked to perfection but on our last visit one of them was slightly overcooked. The staff were absolutely perfect in the way they handled us and brought us a new steak straightaway. You can add sauces and upgrade to sweet potato fries for extra money too.The drinks are also great value here 10/10 outstanding service and food.

Gone to this pub for many years for meals , always been good pub food , recently we've been a couple of times and food is microwaved , and it's rubbish . The place looks like it's run by young ones , while the landlord and lady sit drinking at the bar !!! . My meat looked and tasted like dog food , the vegetables were swimming in water and over cooked . We made a complaint , but was only offered a dessert free !! This should have been the meal for free , won't be returning after Given the benefit of the doubt twice

i went with the other helpers in my weight watcher group for a late celebration for christmas.the main meal was very nice we all thought but the desert was a bit of a disappointment to me

Booked a table for 4 of us on a Saturday night, the table we were given was very nice.Food was average and they had ran out of a few things, which we weren't told about until we came to order them! Pate and mussels for starters were nice, main meals were very average- Thai veg curry, scampi and a chicken special.Heard really great things about the food here but unfortunate all 4 of us felt a bit let down do won't be returning.

The most vile and rudest landlord I have ever met in my life ! I wasn't happy with my meal, the ham tasted off. Instead of doing what a respectful landlord should do, and apologise and change it, he instead insisted there was nothing wrong with the ham, he REFUSED to offer another meal (unless I paid again might I add). Even the people next to us were astounded at his attitude and lack of customer service skills. A place I shall never be visiting again. This guy needs a lesson in manners for sure! Absolutely disgusting. I'd like to thank the lovely waitress who was very apologetic and offered us another meal, until HE stepped in!!!! The staff are friendlier than the owner it seems. What a great way to treat customers!! NOT. And sadly for him I will be taking this further. Shame there's no zero rating for these rude excuses for human beings

Dropped in here for an afternoon lunch whilst on a stag weekend. The welcome was warm and friendly. Good value beer and a decent menu. The pub has a relaxed atmosphere and the bar staff are very friendly and helpful. I went to get a round in as food arrived and was told that the beers would be brought over and a tab opened that I could pay later so I could enjoy my food. This is great service. Well worth a visit for a pint and meal.

Visited The Black Bull for the first time one Wednesday night after work at around 1730hrs. The pub had quite a few people in already socialising, creating a nice atmosphere. We were greeted with a friendly smile and informed the staff that we had booked. We were asked if we wanted a drink and then shown to our table. The pub was clean and tidy, and so was the restaurant area. We ordered 2 rump steaks as part of the steak night offer, these were served with onion rings, grilled tomato, mushrooms and a choice of fries or hand cut chips. One of us had a Stilton sauce and the other a Diane. The portions were a good size including the sauces. The steaks were both cooked to our liking (medium / rare ). All other food was cooked well also, Advice to others, whilst the fries were nice the hand cut chips were even better. All in all a nice looking pub in a good location, good atmosphere, warm and friendly. Great food and service.If I had to be critical and offer constructive feedback I would say we would of preferred to be seated and then offered a wine list before choosing our drinks and the chairs we were sat on may be coming to the end of their life, the padding in the seat was not the best. Non of this detracted from our pleasant experience of this pub and we will certainly be going back.
