The Black Bull Inn in Leeds

Had Sunday lunch here. Service was good. Food is excellent. The roast beef melts in the mouth 😋 with vegetables and yorkshire pudding and the gravy was very tasty. Great value and worth the little wait as it was very busy. Definitely recommend 👌

Decided to try here for lunch and pleased we did. The menu I would describe as 'homely' food with pies burgers, roasts and sandwiches etc. Thankfully they do small plates options which for myself was perfect. I decided on the steak and potato pie which was lovely and I would say 90% chunky beef ! Son had the burger of which he is a connessuir and he said it was up there with the best and served with lovely chips. Hubby had a ham and cheese ciabatta that was served warm and came with a gammon type ham? It did become a bit soggy though so I think they could improve the bread or cooking method? Everything was very reasonably priced and service was good

Lovely pub friendly welcome good choice of drinks worth a visit if you're in the town

Went in early doors for a pint nobody in so no atmosphere music being played either wasnt good on that visit alone i would have to go back later in the day to say if i would return a 3rd time

Lady at the bar was really abrupt, rude & unhelpful - not sure if customer service was the right job choice. If you're thinking of getting food, don't bother. Bland, obviously frozen, poor quality. Only redeeming feature was the sausages.

Unfortunately a very noisy crowd which I assume was a rarity in there. Lovely pub, amazing food and very obliging staff....shame about these unruly people.

called in for lunch while in Otley,both had same sandwich which while enjoying I personally thought was overpriced. Cheese & Pickle with a bit of salad,expensive for what ìt was. Might call again,might not!!

Nice traditional pub Stopped for a drink and the service was very good

Historic pub. Good beer. Great atmosphere

Me and the wife had a beef and onion ciabatta each and it was lovely. Less than £7 each. Tender beef and nice bread. Couple of pints to wash down. Good selection of beers and a nice courtyard to the rear with plenty of seating. Will come here again in the future.

Lovely old pub with nice features. Food menu looked very appealing so went to the bar to order. Lady behind the bar had no customer service skills whatsoever, didn’t raise a smile and was very abrupt in her manner, leaving me feeling not welcome. Food took a short while to come, we ordered the giant Yorkshire Puddings with chips and beef. The edges of one Yorkshire pudding was that burnt that the taste lingered throughout the meal. Homemade chips were nice however and beef was nice thick slices. Strangely though the meals came without gravy and we had to ask for gravy which was then brought in one small gravy boat for two people and still wasn’t enough so was a bit dry. Everything was ok but a bit bland. Not sure I would return.

Called here for a pint and a cold sandwich while waiting for the bus it was all good

Absolutely beautiful. ❤️ the pub its self is so cute,lovely atmosphere when you walk in. little brasses hung up, clean, the staff were friendly, I had the chicken salad my partner had a burger, both cooked and presented really well. Good selection of beer, and spirits. Very well priced. Will definitely be going back in there if we go back to Otley.

Very nice food staff fantastic it's a must visit

Meal was very bland wudnt eat here again

As visitors to Otley we were attracted to this old pub by the location and the traditional exterior. As it was a Saturday evening the place was busy, but we managed to find a couple of seats and were made welcome to share a table with some regulars. There was a good mix of customers which created a nice ambience. We did not eat but there was a good range of drinks at reasonable prices. Staff were friendly and I quite understand why so many people would make this their local, we will certainly return in the future.

Had a few pints and got told to leave due to lighting up a cigarette in the door way before smoking it outside the premises , I feel that was very rude and very isolating. Avoid if you don't know the owner.

Hospitable friendly pub with a great atmosphere ty

Took my elderly Mother out for lunch.( travelled 70 miles).We had roast pork sandwiches. They may as well have been called roast fat sandwiches.!! Absolutely disgusting! The waitress was miserable but the barman delightful. Will never return or could not recommend to anybody.

Excellent good old fashioned British pub with really nice beer to boot!

What I call a pub. Quality beer, true unpretentious food, smiling service, what more could you ask for?

Very nice old character pub comfy clean and gret for meeting up in Central otley very reasonable prices for both drinks and food good menu choice and good quality meals staff friendly and will always go out of their way to make your visit a great time

A fantastic pub , excellent beers and extremely friendly and welcoming staff.Always a great atmosphere

Wonderfully atmosphere. Steeped in history. Freezing cold outside with big open fire inside. Great beer. Need I say more!

Excellent value Sunday roast. Lovely by the fire. Perfect welcoming pub with a great selection of drinks.

Spitfire is pretty good. Chilled, cozy pub.

Difficult to get served at the bar on account of the management holding court around the service hatch with friends and a number of dogs whilst ignoring customers queuing to get served. In contrast, the guy working the bar was very pleasant. However, overall I did not feel welcome as the management were more concerned with their clique and smoking cigarettes out back than providing an hospitable environment

Nice little pub. Well priced and friendly staff.

Beautiful home cooked traditional English pub food. The liver & bacon was delicious. Cozy atmosphere with little tables, in a traditionally decorated pub as if going back in time. No bells and whistles, just good basic food.

Third pub of the day. Cozy pub. Nothing good on tap so we both had gins. No real complaints.

Ver friendly place food brilliant not expensive staff are brilliant my favourite pub in otley

Nathan pulls the best pint I've had for years. Known him a few years now, and he's transferred here recently. Top man! Top pub!

The home cooked food is well worth the wait. I can now see why the place is busy.

Very disappointed with the food, looks great from the outside and in need of a refurb inside. Woman behind the bar was rude and didn't listen. Giant yorkshire was burnt and dripping in fat. Chips were soggy and beef chewy. Food is very dated and basic. Veg boiled with no imagination. Will not be going back. Great if you like bland soggy food.

We called in for a quick drink. The pub is old and charming. The beer garden is lovely and the drinks were affordable. Would visit again.

This is a very quaint pub in the centre of Otley. It has steps down into the pub. Has a lovely beer garden. We all ate here and I had some French fires with a salad. They did have vegan salad dressing. The vegan choice wasn't massive but I didn't starve.

Rude bar staff. food was tasteless

The management have no time for the disabled,wheelchairs,prams etc. Disgusting attitude regarding those less able .terrible

All four of us got a drink each, the glasses were filthy, my husband returned his beer as there was dirt floating on top. Got it exchanged. The new beer glass had a chip on the rim. Returned it again for a third pint. Left our drinks and walked out won’t be going back. Really grotty place!

Good food and great ales and larger.excellent value for money

Great place for a drink and a dance

Really nice food landlord and staff so helpful went out of there way to make everything perfect definitely be going back when in Otley

Not been for a while great place full and busy by the end of the night staff friendly and quick not a bad price and will be going back

Great Beer and atmosphere. A lovely traditional old dog friendly pub.

Good beer not over expensive along with lovely pub grub!

Very interesting old pub with lots of history, and a lovely real fire. Food was good value, and as well as the usual pub food like burgers, there was home made pie, liver and bacon, and 'old fashioned' food you don't find often these days. Pleasant staff, very clean, and highly recommended!

Spot on service and a hot beef and onion sarnie to die for, would recommend all day long

1 nice staff 2 nice food 3 nice and clean 4 nice staff 5 stars

Good pub, not many in, but good service and friendly. Would go again!!

Cosy little pub. Served absolutely lovely home cooked food. We will definitely be back x

The oldest pub in Otley which is quite something in this town. Welcoming and friendly. Resident DJ on Friday and Saturday always popular.

Lovely little pub and the bar man was so friendly and funny lovely experience all round highly recommended

Not Otley's best pub, but worth a visit. Beer was good, but not a lot of choices.

Reasonably priced decent pint good pub

Very charming olde worlde public house in the interesting town of Otley West Yorkshire.Very well kept real ales, I particularly like the small plate lunches.Try the Meat and Potato pie.

Nice pint and lovely scampi music on but not so loud you couldn't have a conversation would come again

Fabulous little traditional pub

Have now called in to Bull a few times and always frendily welcome and the meals are value for money as well as tasty and well cooked. The drinks are also value the John Smith also spot on. Seven of us call in and 5 of us had different meals and all of us enjoyed what we had terrific pub which we will be calling into again.

Food was very mediocre, barmaid no people skills, i was wrong when she got my order wrong she wouldn't listen telling everybody she was doing 3 jobs at once would not recommend or go again wetherspoons is just round the corner and that would have been better.

On a trip to the town we popped in the black bull as I remember seeing the pub on heartbeat it looked exactly the same very nice classic looking pub would recommend 👍

We visited today, we had a roast beef dinner, absolutely fantastic, I would of liked roast potatoes though 😋 . For dessert the lemon sponge and custard was amazing. I smiled at the first spoonful. Great staff, great food, and great atmosphere.

We visited Otley at lunchtime and walked into the first pub we came across for a bite to eat. Just by chance we’d found The Black Bull and as it was a Sunday we chose the Sunday roast beef off the menu. We sat outside in the summer sun and enjoyed the most tender roast beef dinner imaginable, with 3 different vegetables and roasties and mashed potatoes with a large Yorkshire pud and gravy. Well priced and delicious. Thoroughly recommend.

Food and staff brilliant.steak pie chips yum yum

Great food and great service ,friendly staff

Great place. Beer was spot on and the food was outstanding. Highly recommended!

Food was awful homemade meat pie worst pie I have ever tasted sausage were tough could not cut through them would never go agsin

Nice olde world boozer with character

Lovely warm atmosphere & nice people, grub was lovely as well

Our first stop every time when arriving in Otley, good beer and fair pricing another old style pub .

Wonderful old fashioned pub serving good food & fine ales, at reasonable prices.

Wonderful old British pub. Real Yorkshire welcome good food and beer 🍺 friendly staff and good service 😋

Had a great day in Otley but not this pub . Dick behind the bar asked my nephew aggressively for ID before he had asked for a drink . He was drinking coke . Pulled me a pint of Ghost Ship which looked so cloudy it was like gravy and refused to give me a new one . Lots of great pubs in Otley but avoid this one as they appear to have forgotten what customer service is all about

Lovely old pub with decent beers on tap and friendly staff. We really enjoyed sitting with the open fire warming us through.

As usual fab staff & fab grub 💖💖

This is a really traditional pub right in the heart of Otley which, being market day, on a February Friday lunchtime was packed with both locals (and their dogs!). The blazing fire was very welcoming and the whole place had a great buzzing atmosphere. Sadly, however, the food was a disappointment. My partner's sausages (served in a giant yorkshire) looked and apparently tasted mass produced (a pity when there are so many excellent butchers in the area) and my leek and potato soup whilst certainly chunky and hearty was curiously tasteless. The staff were very friendly but unfortunately whilst I might well return for a drink next time we're in Otley, I would probably choose to eat elsewhere.

brill food and customer services.

Good atmosphere food served good choice of drinks prices ok .

Nicest pub meal I have had in a long time, pleasant staff as well.

Open fire warm welcome Just what you need on a cold day

A great market town pub with bags if character. Food looks good too.

Cosiest of pubs....historic old building in the very centre of Otley, low beamed ceiling etc. Very atmospheric!
