Gorgeous food... very Heston Blumenthal which makes it all the more fun. you never know how your food will look but always tastes amazing. we only went for lunch and it's not that filling even for 3 courses but the whole experience of not knowing what's coming out on your plate is amazing x

This was our first time eating here and we live on the doorstep. The food was absolutely amazing, and the staff were extremely friendly and polite. We didn’t have to wait long to be served either. We will definitely be coming back here on a regular basis.

Beautiful food, lovingly prepared and beautifully presented. with the benefit of very knowledgable serving staff to guide you through the menu. The Black Bull is a gem of a restaurant with a friendly, cosy pub if you just want to stop by for drinks or snacks. Compliments to everyone involved. Excellent!

A fabulous food experience over all. The starter of quail was stunning, the hoggert was flavoursome and robust. I wasn't keen on my beetroot and gin tart but o admire the ambition. Eat here now! A small note to the owner - the experience overall would be improved by updating the dining room which doesn't match the food in any way.

Amazing food extremely reasonable. We love to go here and the menu is different every time. You cant beat the Sunday roasts and the starters, desserts are amazing.

Our meal at the Black Bull was absolutely excellent. There wasn't one item on the Tasting menu that I wouldn't have again! The girl who served us was really knowledgeable, clearly explaining what each dish was when she brought it out. The Chefs are extremely talented and creative. Why on earth haven't they been awarded a Michelin star yet?!
