We rang the day before & asked if it was alright to park car then walk around the reservoir, to later pop in have lunch no problems & very polite over the phone.
After a lovely walk sunny with lovely breeze we ordered our food with a tab just the right portions delicious food & reasonable menu . All the staff very attentive smiling & checking fantastic. Reasonable parking with 2 disabled bays
I had cheifs starter also 4 mains 5 pints , 2 still waters with lemon 2 cranberry juice between us,for just over £60:00 very reasonable.
The reservoir walk is well worth the effort, there are some muddy patches & steep stretches ,uneven stones great for dogs also pub is dog friendly. 🐕
Lovely cosy pub, perfect blend of traditional with modern touches. Stopped for lunch after a walk on a chilly day and sat by the open fire with the dog. Great food (best fries I’ve ever had in a pub) and absolutely lovely staff!
Cracking pud drop in after having a ramble round the lodge!! Service some great draft beer 🍺 an some good quialty grub!!.
Deffently recommended an been more than several times now!!
Would recommend making booking ahead. On good day! Place is rather popular an can get busy 🌞..
My best friend took me to this place for my birthday back in June. Amazing place in and out and the scenery 😍 loved it all food and the walk. If you're in Bolton would highly recommend
What a way to start your day. Fantastic breakfast with amazing views over the Wayoh. Don’t forget the award winning ales. Could of stayed all day. I would highly recommend the black bull to everyone.
Best mixed sharing platter around / Butchers looked just as good, spoilt for choice menu.
Great food, haven't been in for many many years. Called in as passing on a Friday evening and very busy with must tracked full, but they squeezed us in. Staff all lovely and working very hard. Food was delicious! My 9yr old asked if it was possible to just have a poached egg as a starter and they accommodated her request 🥰🤩 one very happy child 🤣
All of our meals were lovely, no complaints at all, veg cooked well, fries wedges and sauteed potatoes across three meals were all perfectly cooked. Desserts were super tasty.
Three people, three courses with drinks, £60! Great price and great quality food, really can't complain at all. Many thanks, we'll definitely be back!
My food was perfect. Two others would have preferred theirs to have been warmer.
The waitresses were very pleasant and smiley, despite appearing to be very busy.
My favourite local pub for great food with well kept ale. Very attentive service from the staff is the proverbial icing on the cake.
However, along with many a pub these days, allowing pets inside is not good and becoming an epidemic. Barking dogs indoors is not my idea of enjoyment. hence star loss for atmosphere.
A great find. Super efficient pub with jolly staff members. Super clean and a great menu on offer for those who chose to walk the very nearby reservoirs and hills beyond.
Love coming here after I have been out for a walk around the reservoir for some food and drink. Lovely atmosphere and the girl with the blonde hair behind the bar is always very friendly and helpful.
Good selection of ales, fantastic view and great staff. Visiting during day so can't speak for an evening but seems like a decent pub.
Did not eat, but food looked amazing. Staff are really friendly and has a good atmosphere.
Great food and service. Very enjoyable lunch and lovely walk afterwards.
Food was lovely, delicious & tasty!
Friendly staff and lovely views from seating area.
Just wish there had been more on the dessert menu on the day I came.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Black Bull Inn for a pub lunch, and I must say, it was an absolute delight! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm and friendly service by the staff.
The ambiance of the pub was cozy and inviting, with a rustic charm that made me feel right at home. The food was simply delicious - I ordered the fish and chips and it was cooked to perfection, with a crispy and golden exterior and a tender and flavorful interior. The portion size was generous, and I left feeling completely satisfied.
But what really made the experience stand out was the exceptional service. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable, making sure we had everything we needed and offering recommendations for drinks and dishes. The entire staff seemed to go above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful time.
Overall, I highly recommend the Black Bull Inn for a delicious pub lunch. The food and service were top-notch, and I will definitely be returning in the future. Thank you for a memorable experience!
