We had been before for lunch several times and the food was really good with the choice of starters, mains and desserts. This time the menu was a big disappointment although the food was cooked really nicely. Only brunch or fish and chips and light bites. No desserts. The evening menu looked very good.

Starter was tasty but took an hour to be served, main course taste was very acidic in the red cabbage and other veg, roast potatoes overcooked, turkey was tasty as was the sausage, desert was ok but overall would not recommend the Christmas dinner and the 2.5 hours taken to complete…sorry.

It was our first time visiting The Black Bull. They had gluten free options available so make sure you check with the waiting staff as they can adapt menu options for you. The food really was delicious and I can see why they are award winning. The restaurant was nice but it could do with a bit more decor as it was sparce and could be made much cosier. I’m not sure if they’d just cleared away the Halloween decorations. We live locally so will definitely be back and will recommend to all our GF family and friends.

We had the pizza specials and they were delicious. The pizza bases are really nice and crisp, not soggy in the middle like some local rustic places. Lovely pub, best around. Helpful, welcoming and friendly staff. Thank you!

Initially I was a little stumped as the menu online is not what was available on the day. And for someone who likes to know what options are available to me before I go this threw me off. However, I thoroughly enjoyed the food and they were kind enough to do me a side salad even though this was not on the options. I have to say, this was the tastiest salad I have ever eaten out. The food tasted fresh and was packed full of character in every dish. Everything tasted homemade and the service was fantastic. Friendly waitress who ensured we had everything we needed.

The meals were lovely and the staff attentive. However, we were disappointed to discover that their website is inaccurate. We reserved this restaurant because the website said that it still served meals from its pub classic menu on Sundays. This isn’t the case. One of our party has a dairy allergy and the restaurant could only offer a portion of mango sorbet (their last) for pudding. We had booked stating that one of the party was allergic to diary and I telephoned the restaurant well in advance so this was disappointing. We went to another restaurant for our desserts.

Had the Sunday roast lunch - chose the chicken option . The chicken and roast potatoes were lovely but everything else very disappointing. Greasy Yorkshire puddings , runny sweet potato etc. A British ‘standard’ - this isn't hard to get right

Beautiful food, only issue was for me is the fact that all my food had yoghurt/mayonnaise or whatever on it, I have issues with dairy products so this amount was to rich for me, the dessert was far to rich and far to big for one person

It's was OK, the staff were cheerful, We were disappointed that the roast beef, wasn't actually roasted beef,but a thin sirloin steak, it doesn't taste like roast beef, Understand why they do it,but better to run a shorter schedule for the Sunday Roast option, and serve a piece of roasted meat, then take the roast off once sold, and have pie, other specials to fill the gap Wouldn't go back

We visited the Black Bull on a recommendation from friends for breakfast and we were not disappointed. We both had the full English which was delicious. Full of flavour and fresh, with 2 fantastic good-sized coffees. The waitress was lovely and very helpful. We will definately return
