About This Pub

Ah, The Black Bull Inn, what a delightful spot it is! From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, this place really shines with its warm and welcoming staff who make every visit feel like catching up with old friends. The drinks are spot on too – think excellent real ales and a great range of beers and spirits that keep things interesting without breaking the bank. It's got that classic pub charm with a pool table and card games, making it a fun hangout for a laugh and a game after work. On the flip side, it's a shame they don't do food, so if you're peckish, you might need to plan ahead or pop to a nearby spot first. Also, with hours that often wrap up by mid-afternoon, it might not be the best for late-night sessions, but for a relaxed daytime or early evening pint, it's absolutely brilliant. Overall, it's a solid choice for anyone in the area looking for a friendly local with a cracking atmosphere, though it's worth noting those little niggles to keep expectations realistic.
