Stopped in for food. Staff were very friendly, and the inn was clean and well done inside. Both of us had the pie, and to be honest, it wasn't the best.

Have stayed here before and find the rooms really good, comfortable,clean and decent value for money. However other parts of our stay not so good. When we arrived at 4.30 bar area was full of people and dogs,smell of dogs was over powering. Maybe people with dogs don't notice but boy oh boy it was pretty strong. Food was also not as good as previously, starters,cheese soufle and goats cheese excellent but the mains just ordinary nothing special. Pie not a pie, stew with a pastry lid. Expensive for pub food.

Ate here, as the accomodation we stayed at wasn't serving food. Food not the cheapest, but boy was it good. Fresh produce, cooked to perfection!. I would never normally have a burger at a restaurant, but this was superb!!!!
Food and drinks: Good quality

Nice food but quite expensive and could have done without the drunk at the bar who continued to be served even when obliterated

A waste of £79.60 + £15 for Morrisons Meal Deals
Was excited to have a Sunday Lunch and a get together with my 3 grown up children. Booked a table for 2 pm and asked for the bill at 2.35 pm! Looked nice on entering but was quite cold. Noticed other patrons still had their coats and jackets on and some were eating. First red flag. Young waitress took our drinks order while we looked at menu. We ordered 2 roast beef, 1 chicken and 1 mixed meat. Food was served within 10 minutes. 2nd red flag. One of my sons food was cold as was my mashed potatoes and vegetables. The gravy was like water. The roast potatoes were anaemic. No flavour, no crispness whatsoever. My eldest said they were frozen potatoes as they are like the ones he gets at his work. Definitely not homemade in meat juices! My other two said their meals were ok but I knew they were trying to not upset me. Then when we looked at the 2 slices of beef on our plates, I nearly threw up! There was gristly fat around the outside, but the worst was the HUGE slab of uncooked, white, slimy fat in the middle of the slices. There was more fat than meat. My sons said their meat was the same. You wouldn't serve it to your dog! I have never in my 60 years been served such a horrid meal. I have had so much better at a Toby Carvery! I could not eat it. When the waitress came to the table she asked if the meal was ok, I said no, it was inedible and explained why. She said that she would speak to the kitchen. She came back with the bill but no apology, nothing. Just says it all really. We drove away hungry and I was upset. We went to Morrisons on the way back and I bought them all a meal deal. I filled in a survey online, but yet again, have never had a reply.

Was underwhelmed by the food - lacked finesse although the cooking of the game meats was great. Restaurant lacked atmosphere.

We had a dog-friendly table in the bar. Fabulous in every way. Friendly efficient staff, varied menu and top quality food.

Great service, food came hot and within 10 minutes of ordering. I would recommend the venison pie, meat is sourced locally and is delicious. Fish and chips are also huge and with chunky homecooked chips. Very cosy atmosphere inside and you can even bring your dogs in as long as you eat in the bar area. Will be returning to try the burger.

Beautiful pub in a picturesque location.
Room are decorated to a very high standard, are clean and well equipped with tea making facilities, TV, shower, iron etc.
The food is unbelievable. Every dish on the menu looks delicious, and over our two nights there, we got to enjoy four of the dishes and four breakfasts.
Hand on heart, each and every meal was above expectation (and we have high expectations).
Best part of our entire experience were the lovely staff. Nothings better than to hear happy staff. Loved to hear the chuckles from the kitchen in a morning.
Keep doing what you're doing guys n gals, because it's working.... with bells on. ?

We had the venison pie, fantastic choice. Tons of succulent meat, super tender. My wife had some lush white wine. Booking is a must, it does get very busy.

We visited the Black Bull on Sunday and had the Sunday lunch. It was delicious, a good portion of meat which was so tender, and a good selection of veg. We booked again for yesterday, it didn't disappoint. I had the venison dish and my husband had the pork loin dish, both of which were beautifully presented and tasted divine. Very high end and excellent chefs. All the staff were very accommodating, nothing was too much trouble. They even brought our dog a bowl of water (dogs are allowed in the bar area). We shall definitely eat there again if we're in the area.?
