The Black Bull - Speisekarte

Group of five recently ate here on a Sunday lunch. Great atmosphere and very good service, reasonably priced food and drink's The food was brilliant and this is the second time we have eaten here.

A traditional village pub full of character and interest. We were there for the Tuesday pie night and I was served with probably the best steak and ale pie I have ever had! Lovely staff, well worth a visit!

I spent a week at the Black Bull. My room was great and Sue's breakfasts are wonderful. In fact all the food is wonderful. Ian knows how to keep his beer too. I felt completely spoiled throughout my stay. Should I find myself in Rutland... Speisekarte ansehen

We only discovered this wonderful pub earlier this year but we love it so much, despite being over an hour away, we visit it regularly. The food is fantastic, every single course of every meal has been a real treat. The menu has regular changes...

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).

The whole experience from booking to paying was very professional. The meal, real ale and Merlot were all excellent. The ChateauBriand was cooked to perfection- medium rare with peppercorn sauce, sprouting broccoli and triple cooked chips. The dish is normally served with a different dish of potatoes but we felt the chips complimented the dish far better. To further emphasis our enjoyment is to say, there was not a scrap of food left. We look forward to a return visit. Speisekarte ansehen

We had a fantastic meal with a warm welcome at this restaurant. The Black Sheep bitter was excellent. It was wonderful to see our local pub bustling with activity again. Despite dining early, there were many people socializing around us. The waitress was cheerful despite being busy, and our main courses arrived quickly and hot. The portions were generous, my venison cottage pie could have easily fed both of us. We wish the new management success and look forward to returning next week for the Game Week menu.

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!

I do not like leaving a negative review, but I 'm afraid we were disappointed with the food we had today. I had been wanting to come and try this pub as it always seems so well supported. I understand that there was an order that had to be seen to, and that was possibly the reason for our poor experience. We ordered roast pork: two very thick slices arrived with no sign of any crackling. The enormous Yorkshire puddings seemed to have been reheated somehow. They did not have the freshly baked taste at all. Some of the potatoes were hard in the middle too. The vegetables were fine! The apple sauce didn 't look homemade. I 'm so sorry that we were disappointed with our meal as I had been lookin... Speisekarte ansehen
