Cozy pub, large selection of drinks and well attended. Seems to be very popular with the locals.

Excellent pub with something for everyone, great atmosphere, indoor and covered/uncovered outdoor seating areas, pool tables, darts & sports on the TVs. Always plenty of staff on so no waiting to be served and excellent drinks. Best pub in the village 👍🏻

It's a traditional country pub but with a clear age divide whereby the young tend to be around the pool table area at the back and the 'experienced' have the front of the pub! Sounds strange but it works well. And the Guinness is always 100%, which is a good indication of a well run bar, for my reckoning...

First time I'd visited, mainly to watch the rugby league on sky. The atmosphere was very good, reasonably busy and the staff were very helpful. Didn't have any food but a really nice village pub will be going again that's for sure.

Lovely pub to go for a few drinks with a good selection to choose from. Plenty of seats indoors and out with tables at the front and a decent size beer garden at the back. There are also two Pool tables one inside and the other outside under cover. Staff are always friendly and the facilities are kept clean. Great place to visit when in the area.

Been here twice now. First time was really nice. We played pool outside with the kids and had cocktails and cider. The staff were really friendly and it was a nice afternoon out. Second time we went for food but the atmosphere was totally different. Not family friendly really. Lots of drunk men and colourful language so not appropriate for kids. I was hoping early afternoon was going to be ok. I'd suggest it's more of a sports bar type set up.

Very nice pub. Plenty of comfortable seating with a mix of benches, sofas, and comfortable armchairs (the one by the open fire is my favourite) with a well stocked bar with efficient and helpful staff, and also it's not overly loud. Pool table in the back, clean toilet, and smart phone quiz on Wednesday evenings. I will definitely go again and would recommend a visit.

A bit over priced Prosecco is overpriced £18 £14:50 at Red Lion across the road A big difference if there is a group If you like dark mild that is also cheaper & better at Red Lion where there is a really good atmosphere

This is my favourite pub in Longton, much improved (especially the draft beers) since the new owner took over. Last night the Wainwright was not up to the usual standard. Not wanting to waste it, my friend insisted on drinking my pint, otherwise I would have returned it to the bar. Otherwise, this remains the best pub in the area. Update, following response from Black Bull: Thank you for your reassurance; I look forward to my next visit.

Since the new Landlady took over The Black Bull has gone from a mangy clique pub. It's transformed into the best pub in Longton with the best selection of beer and one of the best atmospheres going.
