Lovely atmosphere and the waitress was very efficient and attentive. The Liver Parfait was absolutely amazing, the mixture of the liver and sweet onions was really different, well done chef. We will be re-visiting to try other options on the menu !

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.

Great service, lovely place! We had the fish & chips and the pork belly. Both mains were really good; non greasy and very tasty. Staff was attentive and friendly at all times. We all felt at home - even our Labrador dog!

We dined at The Black Bull on Saturday 2 February 2019. We had duck parfait and coronation chicken pate followed by pork belly with hassleback potatoes and apple sauce and chicken and ham suet pudding with dauphinoise potatoes and green vegetables. The meal was absolutely gorgeous.

It was an ok experience, just not a great experience. The food was good, atmosphere awful. The waitresses abrupt. The restaurant had no ambience. No music, no candles just an overwhelming loud 60th Birthday party in the next room. They would have done better to close the restaurant if they are going to host that kind of event. I think with 30% more effort, it could be a gem. Rather than little more than average.

Fabulous place, lovely food but the steak was half fat which was disappointing as the starters were amazing. Steak was taken off the bill. Will definitely return. Good service. Overall with a little more attention to detail it would be faultless.

Booked a table for 5:45, got there early so we could have a couple of drinks, only to be told that the restuarant doesnt open till 6pm. I had indicated that my wife couldnt have dairy and they had not made a note of that and every meal contained dairy. They couldnt even do a vegan pizza. Very disapointed, normal the fodd is amazing and the service is great, not this time. Shan't be in a hurry to book again.

Screaming child seated nearby ruining atmosphere. Music playing was not suited to setting. Service good and food nice. More parking required for customers. Goon gin selection.
