Lovely cosy pub with friendly staff and very good homemade food. The only disappointment was the breakfast as this was only continental with no option for a cooked breakfast.

Although the food was excellent I felt the overall restaurant side lacked some ambience especially with the bright lighting, service was ok. nice fireside area for the cold nights.

John and Gillian are doing a fantastic job at the Black bull. I had the most amazing Beef Curry. The staff were all very friendly which made our evening all the more enjoyable. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Very nice meal, good service. The only down side was last orders at 9.50 pm. It was a Thursday night so not sure if this is the same over the weekend.

The restaurant looks like a cosy pub, the food was excellent and the longer waiting time at least meant it was cooked fresh from scratch.

we dined on a busy night and all the tables were in use. staff were very busy and this impacted slightly on wait times between courses. very good portion sizes hence good value rating. no issues regarding quality or taste. I had fish pie from the specials list which was quite creamy but the highlight was the quality of the accompanying vegetables. great parsnips! pleasant décor in the dining area.

This was our 4th visit and we had always enjoyed the food, but this time we had to send the starters back as they were burnt and the main course was only ok. but even worse the service very poor, and on top of that when the bill came we had items to the value of over £20 on that we didn't have. Very disappointing.

Very friendly staff, great service and food. Only criticism is that we were seated next to the bar where lots of people were moving around close to us through the course of the meal.

Excellent food, service and value. Quiet time when we arrived early Sunday evening but there was a steady stream of customers coming in, some for food and some for a refreshing drink on a very hot day.

Everything was OK, average pub food at average pub prices, service was good, bar prices a little on the high side, very quiet so lacked a bit of atmosphere (Sunday evening). Would eat there again.
