Been here on a number of times over the years , good pub food and good choice of lager , ale and wine . Family and adult areas . Went once with someone in a wheelchair and it was no problem . If you don't like sports the TV's can be a little bit loud....... June and the hanging baskets are looking lovely , jus uset called in for bacon buttys very nice 😋........ January 2024 had a lovely meal staff good and...... helpful, service prompt. Nice atmosphere. The only thing letting this place down are the toilets, clean but definitely need up grading..... another update been in a number of times for a drink over the last couple of months everything good except for the toilets. The actual loo is clean but the door in and the walls and around the edges do need cleaning. Or even a complete overhaul, The radiator under the hand dryer definitely needs replacing

We came for dinner on bank holiday Monday. The pub was really lively and a good busy atmosphere. Staff were professional and friendly, informing us there may be a 50 minute wait for food, which was to be expected judging by the amount of people there. We have visited here a number of times and will keep on returning as you can’t fault the place at all, such good value for money and a wide range of food on the menu to cater for all tastes. We’ll certainly be back! A****

The food was okay and the service good but the kitchen closed around 9 pm (on a Saturday) and it would have been preferable if we had been informed of this. We tried to order dessert and were informed that the kitchen had closed 20 minutes ago. A bit disappointing

I just wanted to leave a review after visiting The Black Bull this afternoon with my husband and 3 children. Our eldest daughter has multiple food allergies and recently been told she’s coeliac therefore makes eating out very difficult. The staff at The Black Bull were amazing !! They made her feel so safe and she told them what food she likes and dislikes so they could make her up a meal. She really enjoyed being able to eat out. As parents it’s always nerve racking especially as she carries epi pens. We will definitely be bringing her back. I wish all places were as accommodating as The Black Bull.

Have been here a few times and the food is always excellent. We all had different steak combo's tonight and every one was cooked perfectly. It's one thing to get the same meal right but to get all three meals cooked perfectly and served together is a real testament to the skills of the kitchen team. The rest of the service was equally amazing, friendly quick, checked we were happy with the meals. Would definitely recommend trying the Black Bull, reasonable prices, a good few offers and excellent service from Shell and her team.

I was there today with a table of 6. The service was excellent, very efficient. The atmosphere was great, even my young children enjoyed their visit. The food was second to none. I ordered the mega mixed grill and with a very particular way of liking my steak the chef James nailed it. I'm known for sending it back but couldn't find anything to complain about. Would definitely recommend and be returning soon. 👍

A really nice pub with a good atmosphere and excellent service, particularly from Lottie and Kerry! We arrived shortly after 21:00 so unfortunately couldn't get any food but we'll definitely be going back a bit earlier next time! The toilets were nice and clean which is always a bonus for pubs and very reasonable prices, so I'd definitely recommend for anyone in the area who fancies a pint but doesn't want to trek all the way into town. The weather wasn't great so we couldn't use the garden but from a glance it looks in line with the excellent quality of the rest of the pub.

What to say about this pub🤔🤔🤔 Firstly the staff are awsome they really earn their money there none- stop. The food, ok let's not dance around the 40 minute wait knowone wants to wait 40 minutes but if I'm honest " and I always about food " It was worth the wait ,now I. Gonna bit a bit picky here as I was just a tad let down by the description my fries advertised the fact their dripping in HOT sauce well imagine my surprise when I realised they were not !!!!! Note ( The menu didn't actually advertise "dripping" that's a food critiques artistic flair so to sum up Table 1 had good food served by friendly staff

Just went in for dinner and ordered a medium rare sirloin steak. Came out pretty much well done, was hard and chewy. So only had a couple of bites of it. Nobody even came to check if it wa OK, or even approached me to ask why I hadn't eaten it when I had left it. It's not exactly hard to cook a steak. The other stuff with it was fine.

Driving home through York and decided being a sizzler pub let's try the black bull . Well the sausage and mash apart from some charing were as white as snow and cold . The sizzling tandoori chicken was sizzling but looked and tasted like a reheated microwave dinner . Sack the cook or retrain him because that was the worst food I have had in ages . If we see ill tomorrow you will get a call

Phoned up and booked a table on Thursday for the quiz. Was told by the man on the phone that we should book it for 8:15pm to make it in time for the quiz. We arrived at 8:15pm and asked someone about our table reservation as it was quite busy. We were told that we were late and that our table had been given away as they only hold it for 30 mins. We were confused as we were on time. We then got told that we were mistaken and that we’d booked in for 6:45pm which was completely incorrect as we’d explicitly said over the phone that we wanted to book for the quiz. We were then simply told there was nothing they could do. Very disappointing as we’d wasted the time to come here for the quiz and had already bought drinks

Awful. Seated with my family inc x2 children at 5pm next to a 15 party of mixed couples absolutely off their faces. Aggressive and swearing, banging into chairs. Requested to be moved and it couldn’t be accommodated. Service was awful, waited 30 minutes for drinks to be taken. 45 mins until they arrived. Ruined our day.
