The Black Bull Hotel in Wyre

Valentines night absolutely 💯 💓 fab food and very affordable brilliant dave Sam and team are fantastic 👏 😀 👍 we will be back very soon what a transformation we'll done everyone

This wasn't our first visit so was surprised it had Been taken over and sadly the food standards for us had dropped the staff were friendly enough and their was a few people in the place was clean and fresh which is good it's just ashame the food let it down their not enough choice on the main menu but the special board was selling well we just didn't find anything we liked on it so sadly had to pick from a few things on the menu their are to many lovely food places to go in the area so we will not be calling again but wish the new management all the best

Food good tea nice no hot water ? Wide screen tv no not required during the day and load a bit of a chat would have been nice will go back and ask for sky to be turned off

I find it difficult to believe that the pub we went to is the same one referred to in these wonderful reviews. I lacked any atmosphere at all, There were about 6 people in the bar area and one female behind the bar with one appering now and then, i irdered steak pudding off a grimey menu and waited anout half an hour. When it appeared it comprised dried up peas and a steak pudding with the consistency of MDF . It was the worst "meal" I have ever encountered, Avoid it at all costs!

We had a few drinks this evening, a lovely atmosphere and great, polite staff. We had a really enjoyable evening.

We visited last week and was lovely food and lovely staff but visited this week and it’s different staff but the same chef first off everytime I went to the bar the chef was on his phone WHILST cooking peoples food! So that is a big no to food hygiene, ordered 4 meals both steaks were over cooked and my fiancé found 2-3 hairs in his food brushed them off then found another 3-4 hairs and had to take back as it’s unacceptable and find it a coincidence how one of the barmaids is called levi and is an ex girlfriend of my fiancés ex and he found approx 7 hairs in just his food no one else and his food plate was the last to come out and never saw a smile to her face needs to learn about customer service as I’m a manager in a pub myself so I know the standards of food and customer service should come to as the other barmaid was lovely with polite manners, thought this was our new favourite local but now we won’t be returning again big let down.

Sunday lunch was really good, hot food, home made Yorkshire puds (not too bad) and very nice roast beef. The plates were large and portions very generous and prices were reasonable. The only thing that spoiled the experience was that the TV was playing the match, it was very loud. Too loud for us to have a conversation, or we may have stayed a little longer for another drink. There were more people eating dinner than watching the football, so maybe this should be considered more, shame as the food was very enjoyable.

6 adults and 3 children celebrating a birthday Very helpful staff, Poppy and her team did us proud, even to the point of serving the children first without us even asking . Beer was excellent ( wainwright's) Friendly village atmosphere, all in all a good tea time experience

We visited the black bull with friends last night, over the past few weeks the quality of the beer has deteriorated. John Smiths is very flat and does not taste right. This has been mentioned to bar staff to no avail!

Went for Sunday lunch great food plenty of it and good service best bit was the bill excellent value for money decent pint of bitter would definitely recommend it as worth a visit for no nonsense decent food

Fantastic food and great value for money. Will definitely be returning again. The staff were very friendly and nothing was too much for them to do a great experience all round

returning from a visit to blackpool i called at the black bull for maybe a sandwich .on entering we were welcomed and went through the necessary precautions and were shown to a table in the garden. we were given a menu and asked for a drink which was promptly served we ordered 2 fish chips and mushy peas First class food and service .

Staff friendly & couldn’t do enough. Food excellent quality & worth the wait. Also my dads gluten in tolerant & was well catered for in these hard times.

Just had a mid afternoon buffet at the pub and honestly they couldn't do anymore they are so friendly and welcoming Marrianne the land lady is so nice love coming too this village give the Black Bull a visit , car parking too the rear thank you too the Black Bull for a memorable birthday Chris ( the walkers)

Came in the black bull with my family adults and kids on a Wednesday afternoon the bar staff was lovely! We ordered food your typical pub grub, burgers, chips, wraps etc and all i can say is it was fantastic! Kids ate every bit of the food which they hardly ever do and the adults really enjoyed theres! I can say we will be definitely retuning again and recommending this place! Amazing!

As I was in the area and had some time to use up while waiting about I decided to give this pub a try.Inside it was well presented and comfortable with a friendly crowd and pleasant staff.There was a good selection of beers/lagers etc and it looks like it is very sporty at weekends or when major matches are on.Overall it was a good impression as I pass here many times and now had the opportunity to call in. There are many places I pass as I travel the country but cannot visit them all, but I am glad that I have identified what this place is.It will definitely be worth visiting when passing if I have the time.

Called in here for a light lunch whilst passing. We were the only ones in the bar so atmosphere not paricularly good. Decent beers available. The barlady was friendly and the cook helpful. Our food was fine without being special. No complaints.

Originally did not go in for lunch as we were confused by the extensive Indian menu and no other options but after eating lunch across the road came in for a drink. My husband had a nice pint of a blonde beer, something sunset he says ha. I had a cup of tea and was impressed even though there was only one person behind the bar and a few people to serve, he went to the trouble of serving the tea at the table on a tray in a teapot with milk jug etc., decent cup of tea too for one who is very fussy. The staff and locals were very friendly and polite and engaged us in conversation. Lovely local pub, will definitely return and worked out whilst in there they possibly have an Indian chef and that is why they have the Indian menu and offer a take out service too for the community. Excellent idea.

My first time ever eating at The Black Bull, whilst I've been a customer for quite some time. I had the Singapori Chicken with rice and beer. Simple, right?Firstly, epic taste, just EPIC. Everything cooked to perfection, hot and presented delightfully. Spices and chilies give you something to think about but balanced beautifully. Then you get to the Chicken. How on this God's earth do you make chicken melt in your mouth like chocolate? I'm sure Ali, the charismatic head chef, will take that to his grave. And Okra? I've had Okra before as a main meal accompaniment but in a curry? I've learned something new today, Okre is utterly delicious in a curry. And you taste it too, like all the ingredients, you taste every one - gotta be fresh.The pub itself is friendly with attentive staff. Prices are very competitive but the food, oh, the food is just outstanding. Going to be eating here again and again. Highly recommended. Five stars just isn't enough.

The curry house we normally visit had closed down, so the Black Bull was a shot in the dark.In an ordinary pub with an Indian chef, the food was extremely good. The service was friendly and efficient. The chef came to check that everything was OK.When I paid the bill, I was astonished to find how reasonable the price was - a third of the curry house price!

With so many pubs closing every week it says something that somewhere as small as Great Eccleston (alright, it's not as small as neighbouring Little Eccleston!) still boasts two similar sounding ones (The Black Bull and The White Bull) almost opposite each other on its high street (or its "Square").Diversity is the name of the game and we'd heard good things about the BB's homemade pizzas and it's its extensive Indian food menu - not to mention its well kept real ale selection.Having been disappointed by an over priced and non too friendly nearby "proper" Indian restaurant we decided to give the BB a whirl and we were extremely satisfied with what we got.Somehow it combines being a local pub (though it has had a makeover) with serving much better than average food at very decent prices. The service is friendly - even for non locals - though early doors parking can be a problem - especially when there's a rush for the takeaway service.The well kept real ales come in at around £3.20 a pint which means a beer, a large wine and two substantial main courses with sides and extras will only set you back around £30. Excellent value for the quality on offer. There's weekend karaoke too - though that should probably be curryoke in this pub?

We had a drink while waiting for our Indian take-out. The pub was quite busy and there was a really friendly atmosphere. The service was nice and welcoming. We went home and ate our take-away and it was so good. The dishes tasted very different and the naan bread was one of the best I've had. Really good fresh tasting food.Thank you

From the moment you enter to the moment you leave, this quintessential British pub just amazes. The staff notice you immediately, give you a warm welcome then leave you to make up your mind. An excellent selection of popular and CMRA beers served with a smile. The place is deceptively huge, with both lounge and 'local' area with a quality pool table and a good space for darts. Down to earth staff that couldn't care less what you're wearing, they just want you to feel welcome. Chris, the boss, is always out drinking tea with his customers, always keen to listen. Then you have the live entertainment every week, and the 'preference-based' opening hours, the large car park and heated smoking area. And if that wasn't enough to make this pub head and shoulders above the competition, you can get a quality curry or a selection of restaurant quality indian food from an award winning chef. Sit in or take away.It just doesn't get any better than this. Take whatever detour you need to take to visit this outstanding establishment.I struggle to believe that this place is in a tiny village called Great Eccleston instead of the center of Manchester or London.

Four of us booked an Indian meal with various assortments of food.The service was excellent and the food was the best indian food that we have ever had,and we have eaten at several restaurants.The price was easonable and there was a good atmosphere.We will be attending again in the near future.

The food is excellent,all the staff are superb.Ali is the main man in the kitchen and he will always go out of his way to help as will all the staff.Well worth a visit

What a curry! Well done! Tasty , when we came it was a Friday and karaokes was on, quite quiet night not busy in any of the village pubs , but was good to see the people and staff enjoy the night , the karaoke was working his socks off on such a quiet night. I will be back to see and sample more food and ale in the new year and listen to some of the other entertainment too.

Great food made to feel very welcome not over charged on the beer definitely recommend the Black Bull

My pal tells me the locals were extremely friendly and he settled in really well. Food is available from here and my pal tells it was very good.

A first class lunch , cooked to perfection and plenty of it, washed down with a pint of real ale , we will be back .

We went on a Sunday and had the curry deal. The curries were lovely and good value for money, we'll definitely be going again.

Just finished a take-away from here and very impressed. Have had so many recommendations from people at work (who don't place reviews on tripadvisor) and they were all correct. Drove from Poulton to collect and will certainly be returning to pick up again unless you start deliveries? Food was fresh and very tasty especially the Chicken Tikka Vindaloo. Poppadoms superb as was the wife's Chicken Tikka Passanda. All in all excellent. Thanks.

Superb, relaxed feel to this pub. All the bar staff are both pleasant and really friendly. The Indian cuisine is exceptional and great value, there are, in my opinions, no negatives about having a good night out at The Black Bull

First Indian of the New Year and wasn't disappointed ordered meat and vegetable samosas Chicken Tikka Massala Chicken Madras with a plain and garlic naan and egg rice all for less than £20. Absolutely fantastic as always great team and great atmosphere.

My big sisters birthday! And having been everywhere else in great eccleston we ended up at the black bull! Great place to cap the evening!a loveley pub with a fab atmosphere! Apparently does fabulous indian food which i havent tried yet but definateley will be doing!!! Has to be said the bar staff dana and claire are the best!!!such good fun!!and great shot makers!!!this pub is well worth a visit!!!

Not been to Great Ecc for some time so decided to sample the local beer. The staff obliged us with some samples to choose from - it took me ages to make up my mind??

Selection of real ale and good Indian food at good prices. Often a queue for carry outs. Often music entertainment at weekends and btsports provided

Dropped in as we were staying locally. the bar staff could not be more helpful giving us tasters of the beer to find the one we preferred.

Had a great meal here on Tuesday evening, good food, good service and nice relaxed atmosphere. Will be back.

Visited the black bull last night with friends ,had the Indian Sunday special ,great value for money, the food was excellent service excellent, will definitely be visiting again. Thanks Kath,Ste, Hilary and Tagg

I have eaten in and taken away the curries from the Black Bull. The menu describes each dish well and when they come they are absolutely divine.

Monday Bank Holiday, 29th Aug - 5pm

Visited for drinks with friends. Served by the lovely Dana. She was so hospitable and friendly, looking after us making sure our drinks were never empty. Great service. Will definitely be coming back.

We arrived here to be fed and watered and that's what we got. Since we last visited it now only has an Indian menu but this was great. Definitely will be back

Had an Indian meal at the Black Bull Great Eccleston on show Saturday. The young lady who served us with drinks and menus etc was very attentive. We didn't have long to wait until we got our starters which were fine. We were just taking in he atmosphere and watching all that was going on around us so didn't notice the time going by. However our waitress must have noticed and came across to the table to check if where we were with our meal. When we said we hadn't had our main course she said she would hurry it along. We received it soon afterwards and enjoyed it, and were quite happy. When it came to the time to pay the bill we were advised that as we had had so long to wait that the cost of the starters were on the house. Excellent customer service thank you!

To be blunt the pub is not a looker, inside is OK but nothing special. So why did we try it when this pub had had so many attempts at revival? Heard in the village that local guy of Asian extraction had taken on the restaurant and there were good reports of the quality of the food. When we went they were only serving food in the main pub but there is a separate dining room upstairs which judging on our experience will need to be open more often if they can keep up the current standard of food. We started with the classic papadoms. As crisp as any we have ever had and clearly freshly heated. The pickles were the only disappointment of the meal. Only 3 choices, none of my favourite lime pickle and the mango chutney was of poor quality. The main dishes were very much English Indian fare but the way they were cooked put them way above most "Indians". The small salad with the main meal was a surprise as was fresh and crisp, but for me it should not have been on the plate for the main meal. I prefer salad to be on a side plate. Shows how good the food as I am commenting on presentation of the salad. If you want a good Indian then give this place a try for it is as good as anywhere in Poulton where they have two good Indian restaurants.

We live nearby and decided to try the Black Bull after receiving a leaflet through the door saying they now do authentic Indian food.

Really impressed by the service and quality of Food here. I had the Sag with Lamb which was exceptional ....would highly recommend for take away or sit down meal

At long last a local has been given a chance!! Great to see the pub getting back to how it should be and an added bonus of an Indian Restaurant/Take Away offering authentic Indian dishes of a quality not tasted in a long time!! Great friendly staff that are making this pub the place it should be once again nice to have the reintroduction of an artist/singer/entertainment on most Friday nights.

Recently taken over by a pleasant local fella who has had the foresight to employ a couple of authentic Indian chefs and open a smart Indian restaurant upstairs.

The Black Bull Great Eccleston has no atmosphere.

I live in Great Eccleston and in the last week we now have become lucky enough to have access to an Indian Restaurant/Take Away. Unlike most this is located in the Black Bull public house situated in the village square. Outwardly this has the appearance of a pub but the upstairs is now an Indian Restaurant that offers a Take Away menu. After receiving many recommendations I decided to try the Take Away food this evening. I telephoned an order of Chicken Tikka Masala and Vegetable Passanda. Collected twenty minutes later and served with the food by the Indian chef himself a smart friendly guy. Went home and we were treated to one of the best Indian meals we have had anywhere in the country. Can't believe our luck that we have such a little gem only a few minutes walk from our home. Gives the village another great place to eat where we will be sampling again soon, but this next time in the restaurant. Don't be put off by the location being above the pub it is a genuine Indian serving fabulous freshly made food. The extra bonus is that all meals, starters and sides are reasonably priced and take aways are offered at 20% off the menu prices!!!

Walked in and the place has a nice feel about it. Great and guest beers on tap including black sheep. The bar was full of locals which is always a good sign. One wish would be that I lived nearer!

Called in here today for a pint the pub has a nice atmosphere along with a decent pint New owners seem really nice people very welcoming and polite.

Nipped in to the black bull today for a quick drink on the way to Blackpool. Lovely staff, visited in the past and didn't think much. New owners have taken over. Sharon and Pete. Lovely people, very welcoming and very friendly. great prompt service from Courtney one of the barmaids. Will definitely be visiting in the future.

Called in on Sunday and this pub catered for both my needs, hot tasty food and watch United get beat on TV.

This pub has so much potential and it is all wasted. No atmosphere, Bad food , indifferent staff there are much better establishments in the village. This place really has Nothing to offer.

Worst place ever! Terrible food, horrible service and the staff was drunk when serving! I believe they should get better manager as the ones they have now are very rude! I heard the manager swearing at the customer and call this customer disgusting! Would NOT recommend!!

Visited on 21st March 2015. My wife and I ordered from the sandwich section on the menu. It was 14.55. We explained to the bar staff that we needed the food quickly as we had to leave at 15.30. We sat down and waited, and waited. People that ordered hot food after us were being served there food, and still no sign of our food! At 15.25 I asked the Scottish chap who was bringing food out when we will get our food as we need to leave? He said "bare with us because the barmaid is new, we can only do so much, or you can have your money back" in an abrupt and ignorant manner. We was shocked by this. We got our food at 15.35, this was another surprise! It was described on the menu as being on bloomer bread, it was actually on a cheep bread, looking a complete mess(see picture). Therefore the product was not as described on the menu!

Visited on Saturday afternoon on 21/03/15 with a group of friends on a CAMRA trip, the service was slow to say the least, 35-40 mins for a chicken sandwich when not even busy. Menu stated was on a Bloomer but was cheap sliced bread with little filling, when asked why it took so long the ignorant person serving said he would take it away and give us our money back!!! no way to treat your customers in this trade matey! you will not be getting a return visit from me or my friends, and as for my CAMRA marking, don't expect one!!!

We visited the Black Bull on Sunday for the first time and were very impressed. The Sunday lunch was excellent as was the service very friendly and welcoming and we went with the whole family it was terrific. It is family friendly and unfortunately this is not always the case even when pubs or restaurants advertise it as being. We will be making a visit again very soon.

Despite mixed reviews, this pub has changed management fairly recently and I've got to say very impressed with food, service and good atmosphere. Will Definately be eating here again.

we went in the black bull saturday late afternoon .tried the white bull cos we like it but forgot they only serve till 2.it was good we had 2 new york burgers/ and fish chips and peas.the only thing was the burger bun fell apart when you tried to pick them up.also tried cutting them and they fell apart into a million bits otherwise ok.

Was looking for a good pub with a Good selection of ales and some decent food. When i visited this pub it's exactly what I found. We walked into a very warm welcome. We sat down and was made to feel at home almost instantly, I was pleased to find the good selection of ales and the barman was quite knowledgeable as which to try and where they was made. Now to the food, one word "outstanding" after a short wait the food was delivered with a smile piping hot and very fresh. There is many a time I have paid a lot more for A lot less. Will be back most definitely when I'm in the area. Many thanks for a wonderful experience, I would highly recommend anybody to try this brilliant venue.

This was a very good meal, all things considered. this seems like a great local pubs catering for people eating & drinking and locals. All our meals were very good, no complaints and did not wait long. Would definitely come again.

Dropped in on a Saturday evening to try somewhere different (we live on the Fylde coast) for an evening meal. I had already checked out the mixed reviews via TripAdvisor and was keeping my fingers crossed. However things didn't look to promising when we arrived at 7.30pm to find the pub almost deserted. Anyway after checking out the decent offerings of Real ales I was convinced to stay. A quick glance of the menu (there was not much choice from the standard pub grub offered) and remembering a recommend from Trip Adviser for the 'Whale of a Fish' and chips, I alighted to the bar to place my double order. Duly done I returned to my wife briskly followed by a member of staff who informed us that "there's no fish!". No apology just a repeat of "there's no fish"! Silly me hadn't realised that the pub stops serving food at 8pm and this was 7.45pm. The fish must have been popular with the 3 or 4 other faces in the pub..... A hasty choice of Scampi and a Lasagne was ordered followed by a comedic farce to obtain my £3 difference in the food payment. My fault again as I'd paid by card. Sorry. Our food arrived a few minutes later and on seeing my plate my wife enquired if I had asked for a childs portion? Now I'm not a big eater but 10 pieces of Scampi, a scattering of shredded lettuce and 1/2 a small tomato plus peas and a few chips, the majority of which I'm sure came out of the freezer moments before, was not going to satisfy even my paltry appetite. As for the lasagne, microwaved to an inch of its life. All edible but that's the only positive thing I can say about the food. The waitress collected our plates and I was waiting for the usual "Was everything OK for you?" that one usually receives after eating out and I had my reply ready. But no, nothing. Perhaps the staff know they are serving less than standard pub grub and are somewhat embarrassed? If not they should be! The beer was nice though.

After a day out in Blackpool decided to travel back to Sheffield a different way and came across a lovely village, Great Eccleston which was just ten minutes away from Blackpool and on the route back home. We fancied something to eat and after deliberating our options the menu at The Black Bull was appealing and reasonably priced. We chose the "Whale of a Fish" and the "Lancashire Ham" and we were in for a surprise. The fish in beer batter just melted in your mouth and what a size! and as for the ham very succulent!. As for traditional English food this has to be the best we have ever had and to top it all the ambience of this pub/ restaurant was very welcoming and with the food being excellent finding this place was like finding a four leaf clover. Highly recommended

Had a meal here and the food was amazing. Everything about our meals was delicious, value for money aswell and excellent service, would definatly reccommend to our friends..if you are visiting great Eccleston this is the village pub reccommended by me.
