   I would have gave this place a 10 out of 10. Everything with the food was brilliant apart from one minor detail and the service wasn’t up to scratch on the night for me. Firstly the meal was good apart from the beef (main part of my Sunday dinner) was tough to chew. It ruined the meal as it’s the best part. If it wasn’t for the lamb being 10/10 I would have complained on the spot (not a complainer) For service overall excellent. What didn’t allow me to give 5 stars was because when I entered no one was there to great us or even a sign to say where to go. I ended up going to bar and waiting for 10 minutes before the bar staff asked what I wanted. Poor service this you need to make people feel welcome. Other than this the waiter was brilliant with us. This none perfect experience hasn’t put me off trying again. I may try again in the future and hopefully they serve me good beef.

   I am always doubtful about going to restaurants on my own and at 81 I think I stand out a bit, I didn't get that feeling at the Black Bull. All the staff I came into contact with were quite sociable. Starter was perfection, Halloumi Fries, and I've never had Roast Lamb for a long time but I got a big plateful of food which for my appetite was a bit too much, nothing wrong with that it was good and at £34 for 2 courses reasonable but £8 for a large glass of Merlot, that was a lot, but I enjoyed so what the hell Used to go in the Bull over 60yrs ago when I worked at the then Brockhall hospital, obviously it has changed since then and is now a quality restaurant,

   Great place, staff attentive and friendly. Very classy decor. Food was to a very high standard, though I do think charging an extra £7 to only receive 3 prawns on my curry was a bit excessive.

    Thoroughly enjoyed the sharing platter and desserts for Sunday lunch. The atmosphere was buzzing as it was busy, but the service did not suffer as a result. You pay a little more, but it is worth it for a treat. Masterchef connection won’t do this place any harm!
