Great pub, eaten here before. Sadly the Sunday lunch didn’t hit the mark for us. The roast chicken was well cooked but short on vegetables choices or flair. The vegetarian offering was poor - vegetarian sausages made elsewhere. I tried the onion Tart Tatin instead. Just onions and pastry so not balanced or nutritious. Probably best to say you don’t cater for vegetarians on Sundays.

Excellent and really tasty food, vegetarian choice was a bit limited, with only 1 vegetarian main meal available. However I had this and it was delicious. Also we really enjoyed the atmosphere, including the live music which was not too loud to be intrusive, but made for a very pleasant evening.

Very poor roast, bland & greasy. Used to love this place but being going down hill for a while & looks tired inside. Needs a good luck of paint & refurbish the busted bar stools & ripped sofas… Lamb over cooked for the second time eating there in a few weeks, roast potatoes were bland, barely peeled, tasted old like they had been cooked the day before & reheated. The gravy was tasteless, greasy & like water.. I really don’t know what has happened to this place. Service was slow but that is standard here & the food used to make up for it. We were there an hour & a half from 12-1.30 & only one other table came in before we left. Being there early the food should be the freshest & best & attentive service as there we no other costumers in there! We will not be back for a long time if at all…

Friendly welcome. Limited lunch menu. Starter of chicken thighs in a crunchy bread crumb was very tasty. We waited a long time but the main course of fish and chips for two of us and ham with egg, onion and pineapple with chips were all vsry good, although the batter shattered and eas a little dry. Would definitely recommend.

Beautifully cooked Sunday lunch with a twist. The roast sirloin of beef was the best we've had for a very long time. Clotted cream mash and pork shoulder stuffing! Different but delicious.

We had not been before, mainly because of limited parking. However, we got a spot right outside the door! We eat out most Sundays and the food at the Black Bull was by far the best we’ve had. It was high quality, cooked well and, importantly, nice and hot. The service was also excellent. We shall be returning very soon.

Was nice, just nowhere near as good as it usually is. The beef was well done even though I was told it would be medium rare & the chicken was dry & over cooked also. We had both finished our meals before anyone had come over to mention anything.
