Visited with a group of friends and a dog intending to just have a few drinks knowing how busy pubs get so close to Christmas, the bar was a little busy but waited no more than a few minutes to get a full round and treats and a bowl of water were swiftly provided by eagle eyed manager Steve.
After a few and seeing the food others around had ordered we decided to order a selection of the small plates and some sides, we were advised there may be a short wait due to the level of customers in but again we were pleasantly surprised when these were delivered piping hot to the table about 15 minutes later. Not a single complaint from any of us, it was lovely food and worked out very good value for money. The bar staff were all very friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back again soon.

Steve is always really welcoming when we come in, explained the different drinks available to my friend who hadn’t been here before, always super helpful and the bar is a great place for students to get lunch as it’s just up the road from the university. Food is lovely and atmosphere is great whether on a quiet Monday afternoon or a busy match day.

I only went into the car park, to collect my drunken wife. It was dark but it was easy to find a space. The surface is remarkably good and the smell of food coming from the premises was really nice. I don't drink alcohol but if I did I would have a drink here.

Richard Fream
Went in for the 1st time yesterday after a mate recommended it, what a great place. Had a lovely meal with the wife, great service and made to feel very welcome even though dripping wet after a walk
Graeme Topping
Natalie served a perfect pint as per usual 😊
Burgers, chips, onion rings, the whole lot was lush and quickly demolished 😊 Plus the fact it's buy one get one free makes it fantastic value for money 😊

Someone who says ‘are you ok’ when I just lost may dad …. Outstanding customer service. And then to bring napkins when upset is exceptional… Jack then embraced me and made me feel so comfortable. Star employee x
Dawn Roberts
Working close by Ive been here a few time over the years 😁.

Lovely local pub, a place we can basically call our 2nd home (spend a lot of time here) as we’re welcomed on each and every visit by staff, friends and locals in the pub we now call friends. Food is spot on, burgers and chips for our son and Katsu curry is heaven. Feel so comfortable here, never any bad atmosphere or experiences, happy pub to go to and will continue to visit. Thanks to all the Black Bull team - you’ve been amazing x
Andrea Reilly

Black Bull is a great pub! The food is always spot on & lots of choices for drinks. The staff make you feel welcome every time you go. Excellent service!

When Mal from footy suggested going to the black bull I admit I wasn't keen.
I remember the meat raffles and tap best scotch of the old black bull.
But fair play, they've given it a lick of paint and a refurb from p7 of the Greene King pub design catalogue and...its perfectly pleasant. Staff were friendly, beer was grand and there were plenty of tables outside.
Not going to win uniquest pub in Britain any time some but a perfectly nice place to have a couple of pints.
Ellie Smith
Great pub great staff! Louise Emma and Natalie made us feel very welcome! Would definitely recommend.
Christine Patterson
First time there. Very open, spacious and bright. Staff really lovely and helpful. Food so tasty. Portion sizes really good. Didnt have to wait very long. Ery clean. all covid precautions in place.
We went for our anniversary. We had heard about the government half price but didnt know if it was on here. We were really surprised as it was. This is our new local. Recommended.

Popped in for a few drinks with some mates over Christmas an had a great time. Staff are lovely and welcoming will definitely be coming back.
Carly Norris
Me and a friend came to the black bull and the staff couldn't be more helpful, the food was amazing as usual and the coffee was just right, the atmosphere was calm and the price was at good value
Samuel Clarke
Great food, great staff & great atmosphere. Came here for our football teams Christmas meal and had a lovely time.
Sarah Spence
Poor service at the black bull this evening. A group of us ordered food, admitantly in separate transactions, but still one after the other. The first plate arrived probably within 20 minutes the rest at various times later and the last dish, a Cajun pasta took 50+ minutes.
After waiting probably 3/4 of an hour we tried to enquire and complain but the waitress was very dismissive and rude and simply said it's only been half an hour which was not correct.
Items ordered as sides were not available but this was only mentioned and refunded 5 minutes before the dish was served, would have been good to be told this when ordering.
Please give your staff some customer service training.

Thought would give this a go, sadly wouldnt eat there again. 1st choice of yorkie wrap was not available so opted for a burger, hardly any chips and what was there were clearly cheap, over fried frozen fries and looked lost on the plate, the burger was full of gristle and tasted greasy with no flavour. They had ran out of eggs - 2nd night after their grand opening, was given the choice of something extra in its place but if the 5 mushrooms was 'an extra portion' the 2.5 that would have been there is pathetic. Glad it came with gravy as it needed something to help swallowing! When taking our plates the manager didnt even ask if everything was ok just took in silence. Disappointed is an understatement.
Joe Duddin
Well went today and smashed the Pun on a platter, great place for food and a drink also staff are great
Catherine Winship
Ate there yesterday, great food, great service from staff all friendly and really helpful! Would recommend!
Robert Knox
Got a starter Lad came to take away dish, asked if all was good, said no told him wat was up, reply was just the way it comes out. Like it came out of a packed. Main meal wasn’t that great when it came out. Good for drinks, but food n service has gone down hill.
Carly Robson
We really enjoyed our mother's day meal and drinks , staff provided table service even though it was very busy that day. Free prossecco and Box of chocs were delicious � my family really enjoyed the food the Lamb just fell off the bone. Defo be going back. ��� Thankyou team Blackbull.
Keith McSherry
Great night to everyone involved last night for the re-opening. The Black Bull had it all. A girl spitting fire, a girl walking around on stilts to an entertaining singer and smiley staff with a great atmosphere. Well done. All that was needed to top the night off was Hugh Jackman singing its the greatest show ��
Beka Jane
What an amazing place. It's so beautifully decorated and all the staff and people are so friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be back ! X
John Baxter
I had fish & chips which there was hardly any white fish inside and the outside was hard and burned, my fiancée had the steak & ale pie which she left half of it as the pastry was rock hard, we will never eat there again.
Graeme Garrett
had afternoon drinks, wanted something easy to eat like a bowl of chips with a couple pieces of chicken.. they said they could not do that order.. ended up having to order a meal, which was very poor and not worth the money..
Al Walker
Signature Dbl dipped rib eye, worth every penny. Recommend you drop a "how do you like it cooked" because that sizzling plate is HOT HOT HOT.
Sam Vernon
Fantastic venue, great food and friendly staff! Shout out to the bearded lad with the glasses really friendly and quick to serve �
Sharon Baldwin
