ザ ブラック ブル イン(The Black Bull Inn)

We really struck lucky with this gem of a place. We stayed for two nights last weekend and cannot fault the pub. All the staff were amazingly friendly and helpful, the room was comfortable and the food was wonderful, definitely quite a few notches above normal pub food. To top it all our dog was also very welcome. We hope to make a return trip next year.

The very wet conditions were a disadvantage to an otherwise fabulous location

Lovely country pub. Log fire to warm you up after a chilly walk. The food is exceptional. On our first night I had venison cooked to perfection, my wife had fish and chips, similarly very good. We had pheasant last night of Michelin star quality. The staff we super friendly with particular thanks to Luke and Rob. They have a small number of rooms which are basic but comfortable. Only very minor problem was the towels were a little small. A hearty recommendation.

Amazing food - spectacular starters, Goat’s cheese and pear, and grilled watermelon with a chilli pineapple jam and avocado - followed by delicious beef burgers and the best fries. I never photograph my food, but I did this time! Great beer too.

Rob came up trumps again when he served Mike with a fantastic pork chop. According to Mike it was better than any he’s had in The Chop House, and he’s had a few! An incredibly busy weekend at the Black Bull last week but the kitchen was on top form and turned out some amazing food while the front of house staff were amazing as always, great service couldn’t ask for more.

Four of us booked for a meal to celebrate my wife's birthday and we had a lovely time. All the staff were friendly and professional. Food was excellent and nothing was too much trouble. Well worth the fairly lengthy drive - shame we don't live nearer :-) Thank you!

Been here years ago and went back over the weekend. Delicious mains in a lovely setting. The best pannacotta I have had in a restaurant in the UK- perfect texture. Highly recommend their Spring menu if you get the chance to go soon!

My partner, a friend and I have just had a prize-winning supper at the Black Bull. The staff were welcoming, smiley and attentive, and the food was fantastic. We’d hoped for a “good” pub meal, but this was outstanding. Imaginative menu, beautifully presented food, and - most important - it all tasted delicious. They even got the serving sizes right! It’s not cheap, but it’s worth the money and we’d happily go back when we’re next in the area.

A huge thank-you to Alex, Rob, Liz, Kitty, Bernice, Luke and the rest of the team at the Black Bull. Amazing food and service for my dinner party. Everyone loved it. If you’ve not been - you need to go…. Thank-you so much
