After placing an order I come home (literally from longstanton to Willingham) to find it stone cold!!!! After calling to complain I was bombarded with abuse and told that food won't stay warm from there to Willingham!!!! Service terrible and the attitude even worse never will I order from there again!!!! Disgraceful

Will I never learn had bad meals from here before nothings still low quality and not very nice tasting WON'T GIVE IT ANOTHER CHANCE SAVE YOUR MONEY HAVE BEANS ON TOAST

Best Chinese food we have had in the last 5 years service excellent

I have been eating at the black bull for years the Chinese food is alright nothing special but I’m outraged to hear they no longer do pizzas. A few years ago the pizzas were the best things they did then they changed to chewy thin ones and now they’ve stopped all together very sad to hear now as lots of people would just go for the pizza without that defo not worth it as a Chinese restaurant so overall disappointed.

Your typical British Chinese, but in a good way. Have only been here for take out, but thought it was good quality food and not too expensive. You can order online and pay on pick up, which is very convenient.

Lovely pub with a Chinese awesome...must visit

Great food, lovely pub, service was excellent, ample parking.

Food can be eaten on premises or as a takeaway. The restaurant aspect of the pub is beautiful, a really nice ambience. The pub area always seems lively. The food is OK... not the best best I've had. Although not the best, I would still recommend it.

Great Food Nice to have a beer in the bar while waiting for your takeaway Staff are pleasant I usually have king prawn chow mein - I'm not going to say it's the best I've ever had! However, the ingredients seem fresh, and the prawns are huge and NOT over cooked! I would say the Black Bull is definitely worth a visit for a takeaway I've never eaten in, but plenty of people do!

Very nice food and every better waiter 5 stars, thanks 🤩

Discovered this place whilst travelling home. Kind of half pub, half Chinese Restaurant and takeaway. Wasn't sure what to expect but was pleasantly surprised. The server was really attentive and friendly, making sure our visit was top notch. The food was literally sizzling hot and really tasty. The Wonton soup was unlike any I've ever had in a good way (quite pepper spicy). Reasonably priced and very tasty. If near to Bar Hill, worth a 10 minute drive to visit.

Not the first time I have been disappointed worst pizza I've ever had won't get caught again FAROZ MUCH BETTER AND BETTER VA6

We didn't eat in. We had a take a way which was very tasty. I had the sweet and sour Hong Kong style chicken and the salt and pepper squid both of which were very good. I would definitely have a take away again. Very prompt service and food nice and hot, generous portions.

Great takeaway Chinese food. Always ready within 15 mins of ordering, piping hot and good service when paying. The chicken satay, roast duck curry, chicken curry, banana fritters and salt and pepper chips are great.

Be very careful when ordering from here if your gluten intolerant, as I ordered gluten free food the other evening, it clearly wasn’t passed on the the kitchen as my wife has been extremely ill over Christmas from being glutend , definitely won’t be ordering from here again.

Fantastic food, friendly and welcoming staff, and great value for money

Great quality, delicious Chinese food! Absolutely 5 stars take away. Fresh, tasty varied menu for a decent price. Highly recommended.

I went in with lot of expectations based on many good reviews for this PUB in May . The food is very average for the price charged . We tried few dishes on the menu but it wasn’t great as expected nor did I get a feel of a pub . Actually disappointed.

Fantastic. The food is always good with great friendly staff. They offer a range of food so good for everybody. I would defiantly recommend to anybody.

Came for a birthday meal with 8 of us, the staff were so helpful and friendly, food came out quickly, they let us bring a birthday cake and gave us a knife and napkins etc. Can't fault the service was absolutely excellent and very attentive - thank you for a lovely evening!

The food was very good, top class service, will definitely be back.

The food is delicious highly recommended give it a try you wont be disappointed.

Only went in for a pint the place was nice, clean and the beer was good. My daughter often gets take-away Chinese food from here and said that it was always good.

Can honestly say the best Chinese takeaway I've ever had! And we love Chinese....but this was completely lovely food! Fresh clean takeaway, no grease looking forward to our next one ♥️

Great Chinese tasty takeaway food, very extensive menu. Nice! And friendly folk too!

Excellent great menu very enjoyable evening nice friendly staff Will call again

I live all the way in Soham, and will drive all the way to this Chinese every time. They are the best you can get in the entire area including Cambridge city and the staff are so friendly. Always 10/10.

If having a takeaway phone first. Or you could wait around approx 20 mins or more.

The food here is amazing , so much choose even for the fussy eaters , Best spare ribs ever had Great service. friendly staff

Haven't been to The black bull in a while. Really nice re-furbished. Food excellent, service very good. We will return thank you

The restaurant is in the process of being renovated but it certainly didn't detract from the food that was one of the best Chinese meals I have eaten...and I have eaten a lot of Chinese food all over the world! I had 1/4 crispy duck with pancakes followed by sweet and sour chicken Hong Kong style while my husband had the dumplings to start followed by a delicious beef chow mein. Well worth a visit and not at all expensive. I have paid over double for a lot worse. This is a definite "go to" place!!

We ordered a meal this evening, when my husband went to collect it, while he was waiting several customers were given wrong orders, he was given the wrong order, after a wait he was given what he thought was the correct one, he opened it and it was again the wrong order, they phoned to say they had his order, they said they would refund the difference, when we arrived to collect it the manager was rude and unprofessional, we will not be going back or recommending them. What should have been an eight mile trip ended being 16, and having to reheat the meal

Food was delicious and fresh . Me and my family was delighted with the service . The best Chinese ever . Thanks a lot !!

Very greasy, not Chinese food at all. I was surprised about reviews. It is better to go Cambridge city.

We absolutely love this place for evening dinner. We generally sit in the restaurant but on this visit we were in the bar. We felt a bit isolated and had to ask for some of the services rather than them being offered but the food was amazing as usual. Next time will sit in the restaurant but other than that can't fault the place. Still a favourite.

Fabulous food. I read a couple of negative reviews.. All I can say is I don't know where they ate, but it can't have been here. The food is amazing, the service excellent 👍👍

Not bad, nothing special. Takeaway on side but nothing to post about

Great for where we were staying, within walking distance, nice food.

Good atmosphere, tasty Chinese food and very helpful staff. Thank you

Food is great and quickly available.

Go to St Ives. Go to Cambridge. Go to huntingdon. You won't find a better Chinese than this. Absolutely the go to for a decent takeaway. Never disappointed. Only downside is there's no delivery, but collection is ready in 15 mins max. Won't be buying from anywhere else

Stodgy rice, very greasy. Hardly any flavour, just tastes like oil. I’m not sure if this has become the standard for Chinese but I expected it to be a lot nicer based on these reviews.

Exellent takeaway! Fast and really good food.

I cannot lie the wait was ridiculous but they explained this was due to a fault with just eat and were very polite and did their best to deal with an Endless stream of customers. They were so busy it wS a bit mad but as a first time customer it was nice to see so many loyal customers being patient and understanding. With 1500 new houses in northstowe they must be super busy. The food was absolutely 💯 👌 fantastic! Cannot wait to order again

Take away for my sons birthday. Food very over priced. Really bland not worth the money. The chicken was that reconstituted stuff. Chicken balls were swimming in grease needed a kitchen towel it press the oil out of them and really salty not healthy a cardiac dream. I think next time if my son suggest that a place to get a take away I shall stay in my own home and have baked beans on toast.

This used to be my local Chinese until I moved away in 2014. I haven't had a decent Chinese since. It was good to return for a take-out and remind myself what I was missing.

Had a lovely family meal last week, burgers were amazing! Staff are very friendly and excellent service. Will be back for a Sunday roast very soon as it seems highly recommended. Thank you Black Bull team 😊

Best Chinese around. Always hot. Always crispy. Very quick service. Just needs a delivery option and it will be perfect

Decent portion sizes, fast efficient service. 5* every time!

Amazing for salt and pepper chips were Peng !

Good food and good looking staff!

The food was excellent 10 out of 10. The service was good and quick. The only negative was that the restaurant wasn't really active. We were the only ones in that area, they turned on the lights when we arrived. Couldn't fault the food or service though.

Take away food is always great, never had a bad dish. Unfortunately items are always missing, they recommend checking before leaving, but as nothing is labelled its difficult to see what is or isn't missing.... but not worth taking stars off though, as food is great!

Gave me the wrong order! Food was full of sugar and fat!! Staff looked unprofessionally! Prices kinda expensive for what you get!! So please people if you care about your health and money don't go there!! Just cook food by yourselves be healthy and save your hard earn money :)

Comfortable, good food and drink, friendly staff

Love this place, best nearby chinese by a long long way. we get food from here all the time, and it's always on point. Not the cheapest - for the best reason, decent potions and great quality.

This is our go to Chinese takeaway. I have several intolerances but try to take as many out as possible and they cater to that. This is affordable and yummy and a huge variety, they are also very quick and have never disappointed in what they provide. I hope to never have to find a new Chinese as this is a great local to have.

Never visit here as the locals slander, abuse and harass normal people, calling them:'loony, 'prostitute', 'mad woman','mad whore'etc. You cannot walk to the shops without being harassed by these civilly disobedient men, women and their ignorant progeny.I felt physically sick every time I went out for 6 months to the point where I did not anymore.Ironically there is a church in the area: must be for Satanists!YEUCH.DON'T ENDANGER YOUR HEALTH/EMOTIONAL WELLBEING BY SETTING FOOT IN THE PLACE.

If you order beef burger this is the quality to expect. Having said that, the Chinese food my wife ate was not much better.

Watch out for the man on the door he overcharged me!

I buy my Chinese takeaway from here as it’s the best for miles. The pub is not the best pub I have been in but the Chinese food is great. They don’t scrimp on the meat. Lovely chunks of chicken and the prawn balls are to die for. Check it out. You won’t be disappointed.

Very friendly staff good service and food there was 12 of us and the food came out all together and was hot.

Not my type of pub, but the food is cracking. Take away portions are a nice size. Would definitely recommend.

Kids like 13 or younger serving on takeaway side food has gone down hill

Never been disappointed, they give such a generous portion of food, and there spring rolls are to die for! Also a nice pub on the weekend to go sit and have a few drinks with friends, very reasonably priced!

Lovely food to take away. Singapore noodles was delicious. Had a couple of good quiz nights there in former years.

Mainly a resuaurant. With a small bar area for a drink. Lovely chinese food. Friendly staff.

Lovely owners and food nice too

Good Chinese restaurant/takeaway. The pub lacks atmosphere though

Went to the blackball pub tonight and ordered a Chinese come to £30 got it home and it was stone cold got some rips and in There was a long black hair in there made me feel sick put all the food back into a carrier bag went back spoke to the manager and got a full refund 🤮🤮🤮 never ever going back there again

Cosy village pub. Friendly staff and good service

Very good food, very fast service and food is always up to expectations. Never been let down by them and we will continue to come here for our takeaways as they offer many different dishes not just chinese!

Absolutely dreadful service waited 45 mins after the time for collection. They spent more time looking for the remote for TV we had to make our own kebab the pita wasnt even cut and it was bathed in oil. Will not be going here again I suggest people dodge this place

Excellent Chinese. Fast. Tasty.

Women in couples seen running out there tearful and asking never to go bk to their partner

Been here for a takaway chinese a long time ago... can remember thinking i wouldn't be back. Tried again tonigh and simply the food isn't up to scratch. Nothing personal here but just not anywhere near what we get elsewhere.... overall quality and taste just poor. I don't like giving negative reviews and don't take any pleasure in doing so but simply not up to scratch... temped to add photos but i think ive made my point.

Fantastic local pub and the best chinese food in the county.

Neat and clean. Very prompt service. Limited beer selection.

Yet again, last month, there was trouble at the pub and the landlord did nothing. The sooner he looses his licence the better for everyone. Not a nice place to go to at all and the food has gone seriously down hill. This is a place to be avoided unless you like the Cambridge version of the wildwest.

The food was very disappointing this barbecue spare ribs are so small Half a portion of chips it has gone downhill quite a lot I will not be using this place ever again

Just full of cokeheads looking for trouble.

I telephoned our order through £23.40 and was told 10 minutes. I arrived and the young guy at first couldn't find my order receipt after some searching he found it and he told me it wouldn't be long I sat down and several people came in for their orders and to pay, in the meantime another even younger boy was coming out of the kitchen on a regular basis bringing out bags of food, this food joined other bags of food sitting on the side. They didn't call out a number or your name and the food just sat there. The boy behind the counter was completely overwhelmed by the amount of people coming in and was in a flap the bags of food continued to sit there it was an absolute joke. After 15 minutes I asked the boy where my food was he looked at the receipts and said this bag I said but it's been sitting there 15 minutes I felt it didn't feel cold but not hot the boy just shook his head he was out of his depth I asked to see the manager who had been out previously to sort out someone else's order which they had lost she came over to me with a unfriendly face and I said my food has been sitting there for 15 minutes and no one has bothered to tell me that was my order was ready she put her hand in the bag and said I've been busy and it's not cold that was it. I'm sorry but the fact that she's been busy isn't my problem and not even a sorry, she took the bag and said I will re cook it well five minutes later she brought the bag out again so no way was it cooked again she passed me the bag with a look of thunder no sorry no smile no nothing. I live 5 minutes down the road and when I got home and opened it just luke warmNo way am I spending my money there again complete disorganisation and very rude manager

Once again superb. Delicious food. This is our local Chinese restaurant and it is consistently great

Always extremely fast, and great quality food.

Nice restaurant,nice drinks, nice stadff smd a superb karaoke

Good service nice Chinese takeaway.

My aunt was treat like a ANIMAL by this pub!!she went to this pub for a meal but felt uneasy as some people were staring at her so first asked if she could use their loo, as she came out she heard a man make a nasty remark about her weight “check if she hasn’t broken the toilet” so with that she walked out in tears. To whoever you are - get cleaning your loos because they were filthy

Pub with Chinese food and take away. Very fast and pleasant service. Good is cheap and good, we were very stratified.

Good friendly family pub very good food

Love the food here; really nice, tasty Chinese food and friendly service for a good price. Nice to eat in the restaurant, but a little lacking in atmosphere. It's our favourite takeaway for miles around though!

What can I say. The food is ok, but quite expensive.

Food okay used to be better just convenient that's about it

For a scrummy Chinese meal, you can't beat this place. The portions are always on the large side & the food is always nice & hot. The service is very good also. They have live bands playing sometimes which is great entertainment. They do a takeaway service aswell. This place is just around the corner from my dads & I go there often. Its nice to just sit there on Friday night after work & enjoy good grub at good prices.

I am not local to the area but I had been told this was the best takeaway Chinese restaurant in the area. I can only imagine it is the only one!

Courteous bar staff.dog friendly.Interior decoration seen better days.Chinese Takeaway on site too.Restaurant inside bar area.

Best pub and Chinese around by far the greatest.

Great food and lovely service. Best Chinese for miles around

My friend recommended this and forwarned me that although the food excellent at this pub, which had been massively extended, it has a social club feel and is work-in-progress.
