The Old Black Bull in Preston

Delicious food. Lovely staff. Excellent atmosphere. I would definitely recommend a visit to this wonderful country pub.

Early Saturday tea after a walk at Staveley. Hadn't booked but the staff were able to fit us in. A fabulous meal and great beer. Lovely atmosphere in this quaint village pub.

Found this pub by chance. It was steak night and they had bookings but they made room for us. The landlord Kevin and his staff were most welcoming. The food was top quality and plenty. Would recommend this pub to everyone. One of the best we have ever visited.

I Booked a meal for my self and my girlfriend, the food was amazing,the staff are amazing very friendly and happy to help with anything. I would definitely say they serve one of the best steaks round here! Definitely recommend!!

Amazing Yorkshire puddings, everything beautifully cooked and seasoned.Friendly staff, memorable Sunday lunch.We will be back

Wow! A wonderful experience. The service was so warm and attentive and the food was FANTASTIC. I had the duck and it was perfectly cooked and the sides were amazing. The carrots were so well executed! And the owner provided a great wine recommendation. Everyone else’s food looked fantastic but I was too focused on my plate to try anyone else’s. Cannot recommend enough. Come in for a truly lovely dinner and very friendly service.

A repeat visit to this gem of a pub . Kevin and his team offer proper hospitality. We went as a family of 6 to eat and as usual the food did not disappoint. Two of us had the slow cooked short ribs ( melt in the mouth ) Two had the 8oz burgers with all the trimmings , a Cajun Salmon steak and a Lamb shank . We couldn’t fault any of it . Large portions and reasonably priced , food worthy of a restaurant with out a doubt , We are very lucky to have food of this quality in a local pub . Highly recommend but booking advised !

Excellent Sunday lunch, without doubt one of the best in the area. Extremely tasty food perfectly cooked. Great to see good quality local ingredients on the menu. Service is efficient and friendly without being too fussy. Will definitely be returning to sample the other items on the menu (and the Sunday lunch again!).

Visited the Old Black Bull on a Sunday lunch to celebrate my wife's 60th Birthday with our family party of 9. The landlord was very friendly and had set a room to one side for our party. The atmosphere and friendliness of the staff was great from start to finish. The food is high end restaurant quality at pub prices. Nothing was a problem and we were allowed to bring a birthday cake into the pub. The landlord and staff made it a day to remember for all the family and I would definitely recommend a visit.

What a beautiful place! Staff friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is wonderful and despite being busy, the staff and owner were attentive. I highly recommend the steak! Cooked to perfection and melts in your mouth. Home cut chips, so chunky and again perfectly cooked. Crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. I couldn't eat all my meal and they happily wrapped for me to take home. A wide range of deserts and home made. I will definitely be back here!

Absolutely brilliant food, great atmosphere and wonderful service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we were well looked after. Highly, highly recommend!

Yet again a wonderful meal. Can’t fault this lovely North Yorkshire pub. Lots of atmosphere and Kevin and his team work tirelessly to ensure our every need is catered for. Treated ourselves to Châteaubriand which was superb and cooked to perfection.

We had a lovely meal at the old black bull raskelf credit to Kev and his team the food and service were both excellent would highly recommend

My two children had a chicken burger and the other had a lamb shank, they both said it was a 10/10 and absolutely loved it, my chateaubriand was A M A Z I N G the filet tenderloin was absolutely amazing, cooked to perfection and the sides that came with it were absolutely lovely. the pub itself is lovely and atmospheric, the landlord is friendly and the staff were attentive and great at pulling pints. made us feel very very welcome and at home. can't wait to come back!!

Was greeted by landlord in a very friendly welcoming manner. Shown to table and had a chat. The Sunday lunch was well worth the trip.Packed house too all ages.We can highly recommend to all. Dog friendly too.

We both had the specials starters scallops and pork belly bites both were great, the steak pie and homade burger were really good . Would definitely recommend and will return for Sunday lunch.

Went for Sunday dinner last week had a great meal nice atmosphere good portions very attentive staff nothing was a trouble. Five stars!

Went here with my parents who were visiting for the weekend. They both love a roast, but we've previously been a little disappointed with various other places, so thought we'd give this a try. I'm glad to say we weren't disappointed. Friendly service. Good hearty food, with the option of a smaller portion if you want. GF options too. Not cheap, but well worth it. We'll be going here again

Delicious, traditional bistro pub food with a great variety of choice for all the family. Service from Kevin and his staff was exceptional throughout the evening. Kevin was attentive, friendly and helpful to our group of 14. Would highly recommend this fabulous pub for couples, families and small groups!

Simply Amazing for a birthday meal!!! The staff, menu and atmosphere was brilliant!!! Another fantastic meal. Food was sooo delicious.!!! I recommend the Calamari and the Creme brulee!! It was my birthday and the staff and host came out with a pyrotechnic display that was so fab and something I have never experienced before !! We are coming back with my family who are visiting from USA!! I have recommended this place to my colleagues at work?! So look forward to my return. 5 stars all around!!¡

5 stars all around!!!!!! The ambience here, with the cosy open fire was so relaxing and delightful. My daughter and I thought the food was delicious . Staff professional as well as friendly and attentive, This was my second visit and my daughters third. A little gem in the midst of beautiful Yorkshire.

I’ve been coming to this pub for many a year, always top notch food and a great atmosphere. There aren’t my places like this left. Can’t recommend a visit enough. You must book.

We came for lunch today with friends. The food and service was exceptional. Sticky pigs in blankets to start followed by lamb shank. Superb!

This is the third time we have been to the Old Black Bull Inn. We travel from Durham and meet our friends who travel up from Doncaster. Its over an hour drive for both of us, but it is so worth it. The pub itself...

Had the best vegetarian Sunday lunch at the Old Black Bull in Raskelf. Fantastic welcome from the owner, as well as lovely, cosy surroundings. The food was beautifully presented, plentiful and absolutely delicious. We were in a group where most people had the meat options...

Group of 8 for Sunday roast, delicious! Beef superb, huge portions, 2 vegetarians with us also really enjoyed their nut roast. Lovely atmosphere, obviously a locals pub not a tourist trap, where drinkers and dinners have their own space, perfect.

Great Christmas menu We came for a family birthday celebration and were the first to sample the Christmas menu. We would really recommend it. The food was fantastic, perfectly cooked and tasted great. Kevin is a great host and can't do enough for all guests....

Went with my sister and friend. Fantastic welcome and atmosphere. Sunday lunch was the best. 100% recommended.

Omgoodness!!! Chateaubriand was out of this world. I've travelled to many countries in my life time and enjoyed food from around the world. The food, service and atmosphere in this pub/restaurant beats the rest hands down.

Organised a family lunch for 15 people and had an absolutely fabulous meal. Kevin, the publican could not have done enough for us. Quality of food outstanding, with locally sourced produce. Would definitely recommend.

Food, staff, and atmosphere is absolutely incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well done, I’ve never tasted food so good

Excellent service from the whole team. I had mussels followed by a lamb shank both excellent, washed down with a couple of finely kept hand pulled ale. Definitely want to work my way through the whole menu.

We visited for the second time, it was Parmo night! On both our visits we have had meals which have been very very good, and the landlord and staff are super friendly. Looking forward to our 3rd visit..

Had lunch here last Sunday whilst on holiday from the North East. Second visit for Sunday lunch, the best roast I've ever had in my life! Amazing. Kevin is the best host ever, fantastic team & wonderful place. Can't wait to be back....

Went here for dinner during our stay in a cottage at a local farm. The atmosphere was warm and friendly and the host, Kevin, was very helpful with the menu and even took the time to chat about the local area and give tips on where to go to make the most of our trip. The food was lovely and all home made and, given the quality of the food, very reasonable. The addition of "Pint For The Chef" on the dessert menu was very amusing. Would definitely recommend a visit here if you're in the area.

Absolutely the best please I have eaten I a long time. Kevin the landlord was amazing got us a table even though they were full booked for a Wednesday night. Steak well hell that was the best steak I have had for a long time. Chips were amazing and blue cheese sauce to die for. Going back next week for another. Bonus 20% off steaks on a Wednesday night

My parents and I had the Sunday lunch at the Old Black Bull today. It was absolutely fantastic and we all agreed it was the tastiest roast dinner we've had eating out. Everything was delicious and locally sourced. The atmosphere is great, service was brilliant and Kevin and his team very friendly. We'll definitely be returning 🙂
