We experienced delicious food in a lovely atmosphere. We would definitely return to try more of the menu as there were so many great options.

Been here many times and usually really good but this is a venture that is rapidly going downhill. Ordered 2 starters and two steaks. Was informed that the steak didn't come with any sides... this has to be a recent change as they used to come with chips... The mains arrived before the starters, and when the starters did arrive one was missing. Sirloin was ordered medium rare, arrived without a hint of blood and only a little pink... i.e. overdone. It was very quiet considering it was a Sunday afternoon but service was slow to the point we ended up going down to the bar to get the bill. The menu has been whittled down considerably with only a narrow choice of dishes available these days. Genuinely used to love this place but we won't be back.

Service good, decor impressive, food average. We had ribs (dry but sauce tasty) & prawns to start. Chicken burger & chefs burger for mains. The burgers were dry and not that tasty, the chips and coleslaw were good. Also the toilets could do with renovation - there are broken & missing wall tiles & the seat was chipped. With 1 beer each the bill was over £50, which I thought was a bit pricey.

Brilliant food and atmosphere however the food was slow to arrive even though there weren't many covers waiting. Will definitely be back to try more dishes. And an added bonus you can use your taste card

First of all I love your pigs in blankets. They are the best BUT the food always comes slightly cold and the ribs which I have had on 2 occasions have been cold and hard and chewy (not soft and tender). The chateaubriand that I have had on 2 occasions now has also come slightly cold. Such a shame as I really like this place.

Had the pigs in blankets & meatballs for starters, burgers for mains with chips & slaw & topped off with a cornflake tart to share. All very tasty. Good service by our attentive waitress. Couple of items were not available on the menu, which I think is quite limited anyway. Overall nice evening.

After a slow service the time before visiting B & B we avoided going for a while to see if service improved. A half full top floor we thought was ideal for a decent service. Unfortunately service and quality had both diminished. After a 30 minute wait for a Chateaubriand, the waiter informed us that it would be another 10 minutes wait. Fobbed off, another 25 minutes later we were served a small, dry cut of beef along with boiled broccoli rather than the chargrilled that it was supposed to be served with. After I explained not minding waiting a whole 55 minutes if what we ordered was half decent but it was not, then it could have restored my faith. The waiter kept asking if there was anything that could be done for us to stay to eat the disappointing food and make up for the bad service but unfortunately when you wait that long for poor quality and badly cooked food - when it's presented like that it completely kills an appetite. Also it was very cold upstairs.

Fantastic food, service and value. Great starters (Prawns & Meatballs and Ribs to die for. We used a taste card which makes it even greater value.

Food arrived very quickly. Nice atmosphere. Very friendly staff. Delicious food! Would definitely recommend! Only issue was the table we were sat at at the top of the stairs was annoying because the table vibrated everytime someone walked up or down the stairs.

Great service, great food and great atmosphere! The food arrived promptly and the servers were attentive. No mistakes were made and they even let me order multiple sides/starters in a tapas style instead of my main. The upstairs is beautiful and I'd definitely request sitting up there again. I'd recommend Bourbon & Black to anyone.

The food was beautiful - we had he tomahawk steak to share and was divine and the staff were great. The reason for the marks down are quite a few things out of stock on an already small menu - the chicken I'd originally wanted wasn't there and we waited an hour for the steak - although worth the wait!

Nicely done up inside, however the food was very average and the service could have been a whole lot better, not what you would expect the prices they charge - wouldn't go back.

Was just a tad quiet for a Tuesday night. Had dinner then moved on. Food was nice though! Ordered cod with sweet potatoes. Was really looking forward to dessert but was out of stock.
