The Black Bull - Speisekarte

Sunday Lunch was superb and the pub very friendly. We stayed in their room for one night, no complaints, yes, the room could do with a refurbishment, but it was clean and I slept really well. Breakfast was good and service very friendly.

Just had a superb traditional Sunday lunch. Black bull offers a great choice of roasts, including a lovely nut roast. In addition there is a wonderful full menu for those who do not wish to have the roast! A friendly welcoming traditional pub. Great food, great staff and great value .

We absolutely love this pub whether it's for a quick pint or evening meal. The food is always fantastic, the service is friendly and speedy, and the general atmosphere is always welcoming and relaxed. Sunday roasts in particular are excellent and the takeaway menu regularly makes our Friday night

The hospitality from the staff was horrendous went in for family meal and was spoken to by multiple staff especially the girl behind the bar very rude i was not served food and was told to leave as I wasn't from the village would advise anyone to just drive past and not even go to there most terrible service and was not served another drink as I was not from the village disgraceful

My husband and I popped in for lunch for the first time and this will certainly not be our last . Service from the moment we sat down was excellent and such a friendly team on hand to assist . We both had rump steak with chips and salad . The steak was absolutely amazing and cooked to perfection. We both said it was one of the nicest steaks we have had . The chips were home cooked and also delicious. We highly recommend this place and can’t wait to go back.

Booked for an early Saturday dinner for 3 adults and 2 children, there was something for everyone, and well priced, a very cosy pub/restaurant. A nice environment not to formal but certainly not spit and sawdust either. We arrived on Game Night, which if you are not local might mean something else! They had a good selection of game specials which given location in a small village in rural Rutland was nice (though not a fan personally, but i 'm a fussy so and so).

Sorry to say that we were disappointed. We went for Sunday lunch. The bread with balsamic vinegar was stale. The meat and potatoes were nice, but apart from that, the vegetables were undercooked and hard ,even though we like veg that is lightly cooked, this was too much. The Yorkshire pudding was not fresh and tasted like it had been around for some time. I see that this has been mentioned in a previous review but not taken on board. The owner was pleasant enough.

We shared starters of Whitebait and crispy king prawns with sweet chilli sauce, freshly cooked and delicious. Lots of choice for mains too, with us choosing steak and Stilton pie with mash and vegetables plus one pie with ‘skinny fries’ (triple cooked chips are also available). I had the chicken supreme and it was amazing. A very generous portion of tender chicken with very creamy mash and a gorgeous red wine jus. Dessert menu is also very good, again we shared, choosing Churros with chocolate sauce, and a crème brûlée. A very good meal at a reasonable price. The service was also very good.

Visited last Sunday for lunch, and I have to say going out during the cold snap was of concern as past experiences had taken us to places that were very chilly and uncomfortable. Well we arrived early, the pub log burner was roaring away and the bar area was nice and warm. We ordered 2 roast dinners, turkey and beef and portions were generous. They came with a selection of well cooked and presented vegetables and really tasty gravy. The pub had a great pre Christmas feel and our Lunch experience means we will hopefully return soon. Also thanks to all the staff for the great service and Happy Christmas!
