The Black Bull in Escrick

great value. devilled whitebait great but not sure if they do it now

The did not receive the Quandoo booking but luckily it didn’t matter as it wasn’t busy. The food and experience was as good as ever.

Our previous visits have been excellent but the Bull has changed hands. Our meal was a little slow in arriving. Yet it duly did four vegetarian dishes and one chicken all with "onions" rings. These all turned put to be Calamari rings. One of our group has a seafood allergy. On complaint to staff, only 1 meal was replaced. When paying for the meal, no apology was made until we mentioned the mistake and then it didn't seem very sincere. Shame, this was one of our favourite restaurants.

We wondered what it would be like under new management, we found the new bar manager very friendly and helpful, food was just as good.

Went for Sunday lunch. Had booked a table and they were expecting us. Very friendly front of house Jennifer as was Manager Kris who introduced himself. Recently changed hands and as we knew the previous owner well we expected some changes. However we were pleasantly surprised. Food was lovely and piping hot. If they don't 'fix it' we'll go again. Puds were super!

Great food at an okay cost. Limited parking so bare this in mind. Lighting is very bright in there and could do with having the spotlights dialled down!

Service was OK but I think there was a lady training with a guy and they were 'hovering' round us a bit. I had lasagne which again was OK but a bit stodgy. Nice surroundings.

Excellent staff, food and atmosphere. Steak pie and. Lasagne was lovely. Staff were attentive and not too in your face. Offered extras, like jug of gravy for the steak pie.

Had a lovely evening with friends. Service excellent, food good. A little more varied menu would be nice, especially for vegeterians. Parking not very good, had to park on the road quite a distance from the restaurant. No street lighting.

Very nice person behind the bar, friendly waitress, good food and reasonable price. The only thing I didn't like (not their fault) were the pesky flies that were buzzing around the food.

Lovely Sunday lunch. The duck and bread and butter pudding were delicious. Lovely, friendly staff, knew what they were doing and nothing was too much trouble. ( extra custard) . My only negative comment.... the lighting was a little bit too bright! X

The restaurant was lovely, the staff were very friendly and accommodating and the food was beautiful. For a Monday night it was busy but we were served promptly and efficiently - would definitely recommend.

The food was excellent, the overall ambience was very good and the waitress service was good as well! The only downfall is the very small car park!

Food tasty, good waiter service. Nice atmosphere. Highly recommend. Parking a little difficult, as small car park. Caters for vegetarians, which is good. Facilities extremely clean and tidy.

Enjoyable meal in pleasant and cosy dining room. Good service. The food was lovely and well presented. The vegetables were particularly well cooked, crisp and fresh.

The food was lovely and the staff were friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the cleanliness of the room let them down. It was dirty. Very dkssapointing.

We really enjoyed our meal at the Black Bull. Which was quality food and very well presented. We will look forward to calling again in the near future.

Lovely Sunday lunch with great yorkshire puddings galena well kept and welcoming , it was a chilly day in End of April and the fire was on. Friendly staff .

Great food with lots of selection on the menu. attentive staff and great selection of drinks. Lovely meal out with the family for a birthday.

Brilliant hot food from large enough menu plus specials board Good selection of Beers and wine, not to forget the fantastic service from the owner and staff

The Sunday Lunch was outstanding and great value. A friendly warm village pub atmosphere with great beer choice. Once in you don't want to leave.

The food was excellent good sized portions. It was very busy so staff were working flat out and did a superb job. It was our 2nd visit and we particulrly love the devilled whitebait

Very helpful and friendly staff, one of the best lamb meals I have ever had. We have visited this restaurant before and never been disappointed.

We were looked after very well at The Black Bull Escrick. One of our party is gluten free and the waitress double checked ingredients. Everyone’s meals were excellent. Would recommend.

Lovely country pub in a beautiful little village outside York. Efficient, friendly service and good food. Open fire a bonus in Winter! Can't comment on the drinks as was driving.

We had Amazing food, really good selection on the menu. The ambience was really good with no rush to leave. Makes a refeeshing change from the hussle of a carvery

Food, service and atmosphere was excellent. Only down point was the size and layout of the parking attached to the venue . Will visit again.

Food and service was fine but suspect more expensive and abbreviated menu for Mothers Day. We were charged and paid for a dessert we didn't have so do check your bill.

We were seated quickly, the food was gorgeous and the staff were friendly. We enjoyed the little messages of inspiration around the pub. We would definitely return.

Booked online, last minute, whilst on a weekend visit to York based on Trip advisor reviews. We were NOT dissappointed. Friendly staff. The food we ordered arrived promptly and I've never had so much steak in a pie, it was delicious, very tender and tasty. And the chips, lol, best I've had in a very long time. Hope to visit again 😊

We’ve eaten here a few times and each time the food has been fantastic. The staff are very friendly and attentive. Will definitely go back again

Great home cooked food served with a friendly service. Good choice of drinks and the sweets were cleaned right in front of our eyes. Amazing!

The food was excellent but service was awful, booked in early so had a drink while we waited after 2nd drink had to ask if our table was ready we were pointed towards a table not shown after another 15-20mins had to ask at the bar where we ordered, told someone would come order was taken had to chase starter then had to chase main meals they arrived then had to ask about veg and chips these arrived a good 5mins after main meals very disappointed as we had taken friends

The food was very good and well presented.The lady who served us was very friendly and helpful.Would definatly recommend it to friends and family.Also a lovely fire was burning making it very cosy.

Good food and pleasant staff, but quite a long wait for the food to arrive with both courses. The room temperature was a little cold.

The food was delicious, the staff are very friendly staff but nothing on the menu is marked as Gluten Free and we didn't get offered a dessert menu

Very Slow service despite not being busy. Food warm at the best and the chips and halloumi burger actually dripping in fat. Would never eat there again, ever.

Warm welcome with a Great roaring fire. Service was prompt and timely. The food was great. It is well worth a visit. A great country pub.

Very poor bar service. We stood at the bar and were ignored for at a minute on arrival. After that the food was very mediocre so all in all not a great experience.

Menu full of promise but shame it didn't deliver on the eating. A very burnt burger that was attempted to be disguised just insulted the intelligence and was totally inedible.
