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

BEef a little tough. My companion requested well done beef but it was still pink. Plates far too small. Gravy didn't taste of much. Nice cabbage and roast potatoes . Mashed sweet potatoes have no place on a Sunday lunch!

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.

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

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.

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!
