   Fantastic meal. It was the best meal we had whilst staying for a week in the Ribble Valley Best sword fish meal I have had outside Mediterranean. Staff were excellent. Would heartily recommend the Black Bull

   This was our first time visiting The Black Bull after friends recommended and we watched Dan on master chef, albeit he wasn’t there. The location, atmosphere and friendliness of the staff, were fabulous and the food was great and reasonably priced. We’ll be back 😁👍

   Nice food but you have to have at least 2 courses on a Sunday and it's £34 ability expensive for cheese pie and a dessert

   Was given a gift voucher as a present so was really looking forward to it. Sadly I was disappointed. The noise in the bar area initially was so loud we couldnt talk to each other. Quietened down later. Was packed out. Service excellent I ordered the jalfrezi which was a mistake. Served on a board with curry, rice and chicken all seperate. Couldnt mix it together and each dish was very dry. Left most of it Husband ordered beef pot pie which he said was delicious. Glad we had a voucher or would have been an expensive night out for a meal I couldnt eat

   I was expecting a great Sunday lunch . Sorry to say we didn’t get one. We Was seated at the worst table in the pub . Next to the bar . Next to the front door. So was off to a bad start. No alcohol Guinness available. Had run out. How can this be it comes in cans and you have A beer cellar to store it. Starters was nice . 2 roast beef dinners ordered. Maybe 4:30 was too late . Roast beef lacked flavour and was to fatty. My wife’s cauliflower was not cooked . My cauliflower Was fine? All warm and not hot . The dessert was great too. All this good points was lost on this table that Should be for bar snacks and drinks only . If I am paying £34 for a two course Sunday lunch I expect it to be hot not warm. Very disappointed .

    Went for a Shared platter Sunday lunch and it was absolutely delicious. Staff were very friendly and would definitely recommend this , the only slight this disappointment was some of the food was just warm which we passed onto the Staff. Great place to have a hearty Sunday lunch.
