All of the locals were friendly, staff was great, the signs behind the bath were a good laugh and the pints were perfect.

Not Disabled friendly. Due to a Stroke my Dad cant get about well finds it hard to get in and out of the car. so when he is out its easiler to stay in the car. All the pubs we have been in have always been friendly and help fully and even lets my dad stay sat in his car seat so he can have a pint or two. But not here i went in asked and was told ok but please park in the car park so your on are property, Which i did. I go back in and im told that the Manager has said no and refused my Dad a drink unless he gets out and sits on there furniture in the garden or inside pub. This is disgusting and discrimination.

This is like a hidden gem, especially the terrace, so beautiful and relaxing. Friendly staff, spent a couple of hours and the energy, the vibes, just made my day. The food ship looks so cool, car parking, plenty of tables outside and the indoor looks spot on, even has a pool 🎱, darts which are great. Good for parties. Reasonable prices on pints, also couple of tv's, the spaces between the tables are good, so you don't knock other chairs. Toilets impeccable. I don't know what else to say, I don't live locally, but I wish. The Black Pearl has got something that makes you fell in love with and gather all of your friends, family. Usually when I pop in for a drink somewhere randomly, I don't pay to much attention to every detail, but this place has gotten all my attention, it captivating me, so I know here is something special, that's why I'm gonna call it my favourite gem and I would highly recommend it! I would definitely come back here.

I spent this morning back and forth on the phone to the bank and searching for the Management group who own these sites. The Black Bull had popped up a number of times on my bank statement and I've never been to Peterborough. Turns out I had been in another of Stonegate Groups pubs in Worthing on the south coast called The Rose & Crown but the card payments I'd made show as this site which is part of the same group. A bit confusing at first but not fraudulent so don't cancel your card like I nearly did :)

Although we have been to this venue before I haven't reviewed so thought it was about time I did. We have always been well looked after here by all of the staff who have always been friendly, chatty and accomodating. Doesn't have the largest car park but there is on street parking close by, a functional smoking area and outside table are available to the rear of the property adjacent to the car park. We have always had food provided for our group and on this occasion it was a choice of bangers and mash or chilli and rice. Now I'm not a chill fan but I do like my bangers :-) and these were excellent and came with the added bonus of onion gravy. If you like chilli with a bit of bite then maybe it is worth a visit because I understand from one of our group that it was a bit 'lively' lol. Tea and coffee, draft and cask ales available. The Doombar being quite exceptional. All in all highly recommended.

Rose, is the driving force behind this restaurant when it is open, at the moment she is ill and therefore the business is not firing on all cylinders as far as opening days are concerned. The food is fantastic and don't worry about the "portion control" there isn't any. In other words its enormous and can defeat a timid person, but for sure they will not go away hungry.

We have wanted to go for a while after hearing great reviews of their food. The food was very good, very fresh and hot and very good value. The service was also very good as was the restaurant area.

You have to book this meal or you are highly unlikely to get in, Served 12 till 5, the traditional lunch is meat and 32 veg! You get 3 grett slices of meat and about a stone of veg each, gallons of gravy available, £7.95, and they give you containers to take home the veg you can't ( possibly ) eat, my relations know some locals who go every week and get 3 meals in total from the lunch! Good wholesome British grub at it's best. Cannot recommend it highly enough.

If you want good pub grub then The food in this place is better than anywhere in the local area! A month ago my wife and I decided to try the food after the pub changing hands. We had the burgers 🍔 and the dirty fries 🍟 we have been residents of Coates village for 30 years and both grew up in Whittlesey. What you get here is the only thing within 40 miles that would rival anything decent burger and fries from London (I mean, American style)! I’ve severed some hi end establishments over my time with meat as I was a butchery manager that worked for jimmy Doherty (Jamie Oliver’s mate) for a number of years and I’m ecstatic that I have this 200m up the road! The service was spot too!! Hats off too chef at the vine!! This guy know what he is doing 🎩👍🍔🍟

We had booked for a party of 20, though had a few drop out through illness. After drinks in the very friendly bar we were asked to make our way to the restaurant. Wow!! The pub had really pulled out all the stops for us. Decorated tables and everything. Food and service was fantastic. The two minor complaints were dealt with very quickly and satisfactory. Well done the Elm Tree, Rock Choir will be back I'm sure.

Went with family and friends. Sunday roast was decent, lovely lamb, beef and chicken. Massive Yorkshire’s with loads of gravy with more offered. Scent roast potatoes which is always good at a pub and decent fresh cooked veg. Even the Brussels sprouts were good which was excellent. Staff generally very friendly, manageress seemed faulty stern but clearly runs a tight ship. Prices competitive. Difference between this and 5 stars is nothing to do with food and service. Down to fact that if you have a baby or toddler the changing facilities are less than basic! Something they really could do with sorting.
