The Black Bull Bar and Bistro

Good service, but food was over cooked and a bit greasy

Excellent food and service in very pleasant surroundings. Very happy

The food was fantastic and the service was very pleasant

First timer service was prompt very polite all aspects were lovely food was great will definitely return

Fantastic food and lovely friendly staff. Plenty of room with tables not close together. A great dining experience in every way

Celebrating a birthday on a cold wet March evening. When shown to our table we felt a little cold and after my husband adjusted the radiator valve we felt relief that the radiator warmed. Unfortunately this lasted for only 20 mins. Had a nice steak but the lettuce was loaded with far too much blue cheese and the chips were very salty. We were glad of the complementary water The onion rings lacked onion, like eating 99% batter. Nice beer and wine and good coffee. Good service.

We didn’t eat here as there were no vegan options on the menu

Food was good as always. A bit disappointed with Tiramisu, they changed the recipe, I loved the one they had a while ago more. Overall the experience was good

Great waitress and fabulous food! Definitely will visit again soon!

Food excellent quality with great presentation and service good , thoroughly enjoyable atmosphere.

The best food and pub in Notts. You wont be disappointed.

Superb food. The waitress was also superb and so efficient and friendly

Good food, good service, enjoyed the atmosphere. Will definitely come back

Amazing high quality food as always. This kitchen has two AA rosettes and it shows. Just brilliant!! Well done everyone. Consistent food and service always!

Lovely breakfast ,service great and Monika super .Thanks see you soon.

This was our first time eating here and the good was amazing. Perfect portion size and great value. We fell lucky that there was also a short play on and a band practising in the dining area which was fantastic!! I have already made a date to return.

Lovely food as usual staff friendly and polite think it needs a bit of a revamp now though as we had to swop chairs as dirty

Our first visit for food wow was really nice service was great too.be back soon.

A little disappointed with the standard of food, and also the dessert was a frozen block of ice!!

The front of the pub was beautifully presented but it is a struggle to find any suitable parking should the 5-6 spaces infront of the pub is taken. The neighbouring pubs all had a dedicated car park so it’s a little off putting. There’s supposed to be an overspill car park but we certainly couldn’t see one. We came with empty stomachs for the highly anticipated AA rosette food and left with stomachs fairly full but maybe a little less fulfilled than we hoped. We shared a hog roast sausage roll for a starter and had a tiramisu dessert on top which we usually seldom have room for after a good Sunday lunch. We both opted

Fabulous food, friendly staff Nice relaxing atmosphere really enjoyed it

Amazing food, so well done and presented. Tasted incredible. Like it that it's not too big and service was very good.

Tastiest and most flavoursome Sunday dinner we have ever had…and we’ve had a few! Staff were lovely too.

The food is amazing. We'll definitely be back to sample the evening menu.

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.

Staff were polite and friendly, efficient service, good range of drinks and food was of excellent quality and standard.

Food quality is fantastic, full of flavour and good quality ingredients. Decent drink selection, including wine menu. Fairly priced, this is one of our favourite places to visit!

Good service and great breakfast in a nice environment. Recommended.

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…

Sunday dinner was nice, could have done with more and the gravy was tasteless.

Excellent food and service in great surroundings Would highly recommend

Amazing food, lovely staff and a great visit for girlfriends birthday

Lovely freshly cooked breakfast for my husband's 60th. Lots of choice for everyone there

Great food and friendly service. Nice relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Great atmosphere, good service and delicious food. Would recommend to friends

Very enjoyable visit, prompt service and food was great, thankyou!

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.

Lovely food and great service. Will definitely recommend to friends!

Always fantastic. Great service, great value and great food. Superb.

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.

Great visit all round,food was excellent. We shall return very shortly

Great food that was well presented, and excellent quality. The beef just melted in your mouth. Good atmosphere, and staff went out of their way to ensure that we were happy with the meals .

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.

Always lovely food, friendly service, and spot-on Sunday dinners :)

Food is amazing and the staff went the extra mile for my wife’s birthday even though I never asked. Overall we were very, very impressed with the food, service and price. We will definitely be back

Great food and great service. We enjoyed a delicious Sunday Lunch.
