    Friendly but discreet staff. Instantly a jug of iced water placed on table without our asking ( it’s been a hot day) Discussed menu Dishes with us. Lovely cosy dining

    Had the Sunday roast lunch - chose the chicken option . The chicken and roast potatoes were lovely but everything else very disappointing. Greasy Yorkshire puddings , runny sweet potato etc. A British ‘standard’ - this isn't hard to get right

    Important Update:

    Quandoo is closing down. This is a planned, phased process and our platform remains available until 30 September 2026.

    Unfortunately the website menu is out of date so our choices were not available at the venue. However what we did order was very good and we would go again.

    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.

    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
