Welcome to the Black Bull.
Tucked away in rural Lancashire, between cloud topped hills, green fields, rolling pastures, and lots of cows... sits The Black Bull Inn.
Nestled in the picturesque village of Old Langho, our stone building has been here since the 1500s. Steeped in history it has it's own warm welcome to travellers from far and wide.
Our menu is fresh, local and has a nice balance of those "pub classics" but brought up to date in modern and inventive ways.
Dog friendly in the bar area or garden, and plenty of cosy seating available in front of our roaring fires, in The Library, or in our gorgeous, beamed, renovated Fire Barn.

    I am still thrilled to have 'found' the Black Bull almost four years ago... I have recommended to many, including to JJ Watt, and will continue to recommend! Well managed, great service and food quality is amazing!!

    The 2 course menu at £34 per person is expensive for a soup and Sunday roast, especially when it's luke warm, Yorkshire pudding burnt and the meat tasted very dry. Lovely place and staff but disappointed in the quality and temperature of the food.

    Second time visiting after the first time was so good we decided to try their Sunday menu.I had prawn cocktail to start which was just prawns with lettuce and a slice of bread with no butter. The lamb was beautiful and the veg was lovely, unfortunately the roast potatoes were very hard and the gravy was watery, I was not told about ham being an option until I heard another customer being told it was an option.
