The Black Bull in Preston

Really great! As a team of staff, we keep returning to the Black Bull Inn Fulwood as we always have a great time. The buffets are great for a large group of people, lots of choice and generous too. It was great to see the same cheerful staff who really looked after us - thank you to all the team.

Always a pleasure to go to the Blackbull. Always helpful, and accommodating. Lovely food as always. Hope to see you again soon.

Another good night at the Bull.

I was traveling back from Fleetwood near blackpool. It was a lovely drive home with family. 100%

Great staff, good environment, completely let down by the dismal chain pub standard of the food, such a shame

We go for the quiz. It’s brilliant being able to book a table in that end of the pub so you can hear it and people aren’t shouting over it. We also asked if it was possible to have a specific table, and the amazing staff arranged this.

Great Customer Service from Gemma and Dayle, see you again soon

Great local pub and really enjoy the weekly Wednesday night pub quiz. Good good and friendly staff.

Food is very good, with very good staff

Watch out for the parking charges. I went for one pint and got a £100 fine.

Had a double chicken burger, it was lovely

Took 20 minutes to get service and got a £100 parking ticket 3 days later 🙃

Just had a meal with a drink with my family, great pub, excellent food and service we will definitely be back the ultimate burger was very nice.

What a lovely place! Uber eats delivered wrong order, so rang and explained what happened very fast to sort it out and fix the issue, manager delivering for me, absolute legends! Definitely recommend this place ❤️

We were made to feel so comfortable today I have a son with profound special needs who pushed over some chips a member of staff possibly the manager was amazing not used to that level of service thank you

My 4 yr old enjoyed his all day breakfast and the real fire, saying he had never been in before but want to go back again this sunday, the three adults all enjoyed the food and experience, well worth visiting

Food arrived promptly, was reasonably priced, tasty and my steak was cooked as ordered, not a ton of interaction with staff as we ordered online but they were polite when they dropped off cutlery and our drinks. Bathrooms were clean and tidy and the atmosphere was pleasant and not overly loud.

Went for a celebration 14 of us excellent food good service. We will be going back soon no doubt.

Myself and my partner only moved to the area in April this pub is only round the corner from us and we absolutely love it! Everyone is so friendly and we will happily talk to anyone. We love how busy it is! Proper British pub, which exceptional food.

Poor communication, food was 45 late but not explained this at time of ordering or until I complained about the time I was waiting to receive my paid for meal.

Great service and staff Dayle always happy to help, always friendly and the place is always clean and tidy. Staff all friendly. Great atmosphere at all times. Toliets always clean and tidy. The best ember in pub in Preston 🥰

Visited the Black Bull with colleagues after work and it was a gorgeous day so sat outside in the beer garden enjoying the sun. Unfortunately I hadn’t seen the signs to enter your car registration in the pub to avoid a parking fine and received a fine in the post. However I rang the pub and spoke to a member of staff and they cancelled it for me. They couldn’t have been more helpful. Top notch customer service.

Friendly professional staff, food was lovely.

Had the fish and chips, the fries were too soft for my taste. Digital self-service is not my thing.

Been coming here for years, always a good visit

Well what can I say, it is one thing to win a free meal, but another to actually get a great meal, atmosphere and service. Myself and my partner would usually go to places like Lane Ends with it being closer to where we live, but after visiting the Black bull, we will certainly be back. Service was great by both the bar staff and the manager, the quality of the food was much better than most other pubs I have been to previously in the area and reasonably priced as well. We won this meal as it was a donated prize by the pub to our company then placed in a raffle with all proceeds going to Derian House Children's Hospice. So thank you to Dayle who looked after us, for both the service and for donating the prize that we were lucky enough to win and claim last night!!!

Brilliant food . I had the lasagne and it was awesome. Really good choice of food with value for money deals on in the day , really friendly service and go above and beyond to make you have a good meal . Honestly this place is a little gem ! Salad was really fresh too . Ample parking too

Very nice pub with, lovely attentive staff and a nice atmosphere. The food was top notch and very reasonable in price. First time visit but won't be the last.

Very friendly staff serving delicious food at reasonable price. Highly recommended.

Ordered a takeaway on the app. Sharing hot wings 2 x fish & chips 1 x chicken pie & chips. Upon collecting we were a little early so we enjoyed a nice cold drink in their beer garden after being greeted by the friendly attentive host / bar person. Food was ready at the requested time. We only live around the corner so it was still piping hot when we arrived home. Perfect for when you're fancying pub grub in the comfort of your own home 👌🏼 5⭐️'s from us!

Just spent an afternoon at the Black Bull Preston ....while waiting for our sister to be discharged from hospital... The food was excellent...the pudding s Yummy and service friendly ...highly recommend ... Just remember to put your car reg into the machine so that you don't pay car parking charges

2nd time with over an hour wait for some mediocre food. It wasn't especially busy, everyone working just seemed to be going through the motions. Shame really

Really good pint of wainwright's.

Food is average at best. Kids menu ( kids eat for £1) is misleading, when purchasing a meal deal (starter and a main) the main is £1 yet they charge full price for the starter. Almost £9 for 6 chicken wings, is steep especially when they look like pigeon wings rather than chicken wings. Sausages were anaemic looking at best, representing fingers, rather than sausages. Staff are lovely but food needs reviewing.

Very friendly and chatty bar staff and good well priced beer. Quiz night is highly recommended

We had a very nice meal here this evening. It was Friday Curry night. Delicious. Our very charming waitress Phoebe and chef Antony Mike Homs made our experience even more special. Thanks to you both and also the team at The Black Bull. We definitely will return again.

So welcoming staff are friendly and attentive nothing to much trouble . Food is good and the manager dayle is on hand straight away should any issues arise

Really nice meals at a reasonable price. Will definitely return.

Whenever we have visited the black bull before we have loved it but this time we were thoroughly disappointed. All of the food bar the wings and burger were overcooked/burnt. The naan bread was rock hard, The soup was like tomato flavoured water and bland I couldn't taste the pepper like I normally can. The thick-cut gammon was thin and bland. The beans were dried out with no sauce at all. It also took at least 45mins -1 hour for the food to arrive at our table from ordering which we wouldn't have minded if it was of the normal quality. We will give them the benefit of the doubt as they are normally great and try again at some point but it wont be in a hurry.

Food is always good, fresh and flavourful, even greater with food and drinks coupons. Always a great atmosphere and diverse age groups

Thank you to the chefs for an excellent Open Steak Ciabatta for lunch. Fast service. Lovely food and atmosphere. Others in the party were eating and all enjoyed.

Had lunch on 1st July with my son following an appointment at Royal Preston Hospital. Lunch was excellent. However 10 days later received a parking fine for £100 even though a disabled badge was displayed. It would have been more helpful if a staff member could have warned us about car parking charges. As strangers to the area and having to negotiate a very busy junction it is not acceptable to expect a driver to stop on the pavement to read what I presume to be parking information on an entry gatepost.. As 77year old who is already very stressed about having to do a 130 mile round trip and facing surgery in the near future I can honestly say you did not make my day. I find it disgusting that hospitality venues, such as pubs, now allow Parking companies to profit from unsuspecting clients.

Popped in for lunch and didn't regret. Had the fish and chips with a bread and butter extra. Fish was delicious and the bread was lovely and fresh. My wife had the Chicken and Avocado salad and was extremely happy with her meal. Had to top it with an Eton Mess, all I can say is wow. Looking forward to my next visit when I'm in the area. Great food and great service,.what more can you ask for

Came for the quiz, a very enjoyable night. But I must say you should bring back the two large round tables as they are very much missed by us quizers.

Noisy on a Friday night and food got and nurse. Husband had fish and chips which he enjoyed, I had the roasted veg side which was dried and tasteless. The sticky chicken starter was OK.

First time I'd been here after many years. Special mention to a lady called Dayle. She was so attentive to us and make our ladies gathering ultra special. What an amazing service and world class delivery. We will be back again. Hope to have Dayle serving us again.

Only stopped for drink in the Sunshine, lovely setup outside.

We are not from the area and needed a place to meet up with old friends. Found the Black Bull on the internet. It looked OK and the reviews were good so it seemed a good option. We were there yesterday. It soon became clear that we made the right decision. From the moment you step inside, everything feels just right. It's a big place but it feels like a real pub. They have a great selection of beer, ales, etc. The service was friendly and efficient. It was a weekday afternoon and there were many guests. Quite rare nowadays. At the end of our visit we understood even better why. We found a table somewhere in a quiet corner where the four of us could catch up. We looked at the menu to choose something to eat. They offer something to suit everyone. The prices for the food (and drinks) are more than reasonable. Good value for money. We liked our food. Actually, all of us liked the Black Bull. We spent quite a few hours in there and enjoyed every minute of it. That's why they have so many guests on a weekday afternoon - and they deserve that.

Fantastic afternoon on the 9/06/24 for our mum and dads 80th birthday celebration, thanks to Dayle and the team, especially Mike the chef for preparing the buffet, great food! Can’t recommend it enough!!!

Had to attend a special do at the black bull, lots of people, I must say the food was amazing and the entire venue spotless and in order.

Absolutely love this pub, always a fantastic atmosphere, great food, friendly bar staff what more do you want, it’s become our Friday night treat 🙌 keep up the good work team Black Bull 👌

Excellent atmosphere and great staff. The drinks are excellent with a great choice. Ideal for people watching with a welcoming feeling

Such a great buzzy pub, with excellent customer service, in particular the manager Dayle, who’s Customer service, I have found to be exceptional!

Good food at affordable price 👌

Fab food, great toilets! So sick of tiny toilets, Black Bull's are fab and spacious 👌

Lovely food. Staff were very friendly and helpful

Fabulous new menu, fresh ingredients. I had the tandoori chicken skewer. It was so light and fresh with a good kick of spice. My friend had half chicken and said it was delicious. Highly recommended

Friendly and cosy pub. Good bar staff. Great lighting and often busy. Car parking space attached on site. Outdoor seating and smoking sheds provided. This pub has got a good vibe and plenty of room to accommodate.

After being disappointed on a previous visit the Black Bull excelled this evening with excellent service and tasty food served hot

Very nice pub excellent service and food. Pleasant atmosphere for a Wednesday lunch

FUNCTION ROOM FOR MUM AND DADS GOLDEN WEDDING STAFF WERE AMAZING COULD NOT DO ENOUGH FOR US AND ALTHOUGH PART OF THE PUB IT FELT PRIVATE AND WORKED PERFECTLY. THE ATMOSPHERE FOOD AND STAFF CAN'T BE FAULTED. THANK YOU

It was mine and my husband's Golden Wedding Anniversary and my daughter had arranged a surprise gathering of many of our friends which was fantastic but the food the staff at the Black Bull put on was out of this world. I can't speak highly enough of the staff who attended to us nothing was too much trouble. It is a thumbs up all round for the room, the food and the staff. A huge thank you.

Amazing new menu the food was fab. Dayle was amazing couldn’t be more helpful. The pub was busy but the staff were still helpful

1st experience of the Friday night curry night, and it definitely won’t be our last, fantastic food, service & atmosphere nicely washed down with the best Sauvignon Blanc 🥂😊highly recommend 🙌

New curry night on a Friday. The food was excellent it was busy with a great atmosphere

We had a 40th birthday dinner it was lovely couldn't have asked for better service food came quick even though the pub was really busy. Phil looked after us he was efficient very friendly and couldn't do enough to make our day special. Thank you

Just want to say a massive Thank you to all the team at The Black Bull Fulwood. Myself and Fiancé were in Royal Preston Hospital for the birth of our first child and I can’t thank you enough for looking after me for the 6 days I came in for tea. You’re all amazing! We popped back over today to bring our new baby in to have dinner. Pic attached!! Thank you once again and see you again soon.

Excellent food and service. Great pub

It's a great place concerning Preston! Nice food , good selection of beers,It took a while for the food to arrive but in general it's a nice place with outdoor seats and a car park. The food was great.

Brilliant food at a very reasonable price and the customer service was fantastic - Brilliant team and couldn’t help enough during multiple meals and a bit of aftercare 😅 Great pub

Me and my family came for dinner without booking staff very helpful and managed to find a table service and food top notch Thankyou JP and staff we will be visiting again

Lovely pub, great atmosphere. Service good. The staff know most of the locals by name which is great. Food lovely. Defiantly recomended

Great place and staff. Products are fairly priced. Use Ember app for extra deals. Very welcoming. Lots of parking and ideal location

Not the first time we've frequented this place, definitely not the last, first class service from Dayle and her team so welcoming! Pay this place a visit! You will not be disappointed.

Absolutely brilliant pub , excellent food and service , great atmosphere. the staff Dayle and her team were lovely helpful and nothing was too much trouble. This pub is a little gem an asset to Preston I highly recommend a visit

I have just recently (8th April) been involved in a training course at The Black Bull, they let us in before their normal opening hours so that we could all get set up. The staff were amazing with us, not too pushy but always there for when we needed drinks! we ordered our food in the morning for our dinner break which was at 12pm. The food was all brought out within 5 minutes of 12pm which you could tell was freshly cooked due to still being hot! The food was also amazing, highly recommend the Crispy Chicken Ciabatta! Overall an amazing experience, thank you all at The Black Bull.

This is Great pub to stop off on the Motorway, and any parking problem Are not an issue if you do have the misfortune to get a parking notice a single call to them will sort it out. I highly recommend a visit Regards Tony...

Brilliant place, staff, food and drink! Would definitely recommend. Always a friendly face behind the bar, great foe adults and kids alike. 5*

My husband and I love eating at The Black Bull for a number of reasons. The staff are always so very attentive. Superb car-parking facilities. The food is served promptly and always boasts a wide choice of menu. Each delicious serving always represents SUPERB value for money. Often, we are also emailed with special offers and ALWAYS at our birthdays. How good is that! We cannot fault the place. We even have to compliment the hostelry’s after-care. On our last visit, we mistakenly failed to enter our vehicle registration number into the required logging machine. Some 14 days later, we received an invoice from Euro Car Parks requesting payment. However, one quick call to ‘Dayle’ at the Black Bull and the problem was instantly solved. Thank you Dayle, customer service at its very best. Thank you also for one of the most delicious desserts my husband has ever tasted during his EIGHTY long years. Your Chocolate Munchies Sundae was pure heaven! From our home here within the Ribble Valley, we’ll have to visit Preston much more often! Our sincere thanks again to you all.

went for lunch with family, good choice off food on menu the staff was friendly and helpful. The food we had was well presented and hot. no complaints.

Good food Friendly staff Reasonable prices Plenty of parking

Excellent covid rules. Very clean. Order on ember Inn app for food and drink. Good food and service.

Our food took an hour to arrive despite it not being very busy when we arrived. The food itself was mediocre, mixed grill was poor quality, overcooked and dry. The children's meals were small and disappointing, only 4 pieces of scampi for one of them, not enough for a hungry 8 year old. The child's cheese burger was wafer thin, overcooked, served in a stale bun and only had a tiny square of cheese on it. The curry was okay, probably the only thing worthwhile in the whole meal. We decided to order pudding but we're disappointed to be told two of the options we wanted weren't available. It then took a further 45 minutes for the puddings to arrive, insane considering it was only a portion of ice-cream, an Eton mess and a waffle. The Eaton mess was completely melted and had no cream, the ice cream consisted of three tiny scoops. Overall we were very disappointed and won't be returning or recommending eating here to anyone.

There is not much to say…. The gammon was tough, the service was rubbish and the atmosphere was terrible. Won’t be coming here soon in a rush!

Thank you to Dale, assistant manager, for chatting to my elderly Dad and making our visit a real pleasure. The food is quick and delicious, the staff are brilliant and the whole pub is fabulous. Good to see the Black Bull is still such an...

Quite possibly the worst experience I have ever witnessed from a pub and staff member Dom in particular. Avoid if you wish to be belittled and ignored three times when next in a queue politely waiting. Disgraceful staff!!

Been going in here for many years. Never have I ever felt so degraded and belittled. A certain bar staff member called DOM was extremely dismissive, Rude and arrogant. My friend and I had been waiting in the queue for a while whilst he look passed and served everyone else before us. When confronted, he said “you’ve got your drinks so just allow it” couldnt have been more unprofessional if he tried. Terrible attitude and wont be returning. Ashame because its always been a great local pub

We entered an overcrowded pub with only three staff members working at the busy bar. After waiting for approximately 10 minutes, a staff member finally approached us. We informed them that we had reserved a table 12 hours prior, but they claimed we weren't registered and initially couldn't accommodate us. However, after some discussion, a table became available in the bar area where we intended to dine. Unfortunately, the table was dirty. The manager promised to send someone to clean it and provide additional menus, but nobody came. After informing the manager of the issue, she wiped down the table with a dry cloth and gave us a few more menus. The QR code on the table didn't work, so we couldn't order online. After waiting for a long time at the bar, we eventually ordered our dinner. One of our party members required a gluten-free option, but the choices were limited, leaving them disappointed. Despite being informed by the manager that there was no wait for food, we waited approximately an hour for our meals, only to find them served cold. The gammon was tough and overcooked. While we acknowledge that the pub may have been busy due to a previous football match, our experience at the Black Bull was disappointing. We are unlikely to return in the future.

Good food and good service when there, but did receive a £100 parking fine from euro car parks for parking in The Black bull's car park but contacted The Black Bull and spoke to Daly the manager who was brilliant and she cancelled the fine...
