Now serving food! New management has brought this pub back to life at last! I had salt and pepper chicken sizzler (set smoke alarm off lol) which was delicious! Only thing I wasn't keen on was oven chips(which keeps the prices down but I would pay more for home cooked chips or skin in fries.) Usual pub type menu most dishes a bargain at ยฃ7.95. I like real ales and they had 3 on tap(Wainwright's, Doombar and Black sheep.) I had black sheep and it was a decent pint and just over ยฃ3 a pint. I would definitely now recommend this place, the staff are extremely friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere has definitely improved, also becoming more popular again. Will definitely be going again!
Absolutely Amazing David the landlord is one of a kind nothing is to much trouble bar staff are so lovely highly recommend this place Food is to die for Atmosphere is outstanding one of the best pubs around ๐ ๐

Oct 2023 - New owners - have eaten here 3 times ๐๐๐ I'm not one to often have burger, it was THE BEST I've eaten, simples, well cooked, great quality, great prices - keep it up @ the Black ๐ค
2022 - Went in over a week ago, was going to eat a White Bull, their loss was my gain, chicken Caesar wrap perfect and with fries Inc not extra very happy with price, pleasant service from Amy, I will visit again for eats, ๐ถrock TV was great change and differing usp from other pubs ..... Would excel as a pop/rock music venue, nothing round here ๐ถ
Really good...landlady is super friendly and works really hard...I have noticed this a number of times when I have been in..Nice wine ..Good real ale ...food was good pub food
Stopped off in this lovely little village & went for lunch here.
The staff member was very welcoming to us & helpful.
They had a board with specials on along with a menu.
Although the pub was empty of people we really enjoyed our lunch as the food was delicious and was very good value for what we had. Do try the cheese nachos as gorgeous, loads of cheese & salsa sauce.
Chicken wraps were delicious as lots of chicken in them and the chips were really good.
Credit to the pub.
Just moved up this way and like to call in for a pint at the weekends! Very dog friendly and the Staff are very obliging, not had a meal yet but they do look very good. Nice choice beers. My only criticism is the beer garden at the rear of the pub could do with some tidying up and some grass cutting and nice plant pots around would make it more respectable and if it was I would have given full marks.
Fantastic food..and good service
Intended eating at Owd Nels. It was shambolic so headed home. Pulled in to Gt Eccleston. White bull was packed and beer garden closed so went over to the black bull. Our two dogs were welcomed. Extremely helpful and friendly staff on duty. Ordered food. Chilli chicken wrap, burritos, 2club sandwiches. Absolutely beautiful. Could not fault the food, the service or the venue. Well worth the money. All in came to under ยฃ40. Will definitely be visiting again
Great pub with great staff and now very clean food excellent
Can't recommend this place highly enough and honestly check out my other reviews I'm always honest it was lovely and clean the staff were very attentive the food was served very fast and was hot and delicious it's dog friendly as well which is brilliant because the area is very dog and walkers friendly the local people are very lucky to have this on their door step but honestly I would driver the distance again just to eat their again and again well done everyone it's not easy to please me but you did it lol
Fabulous proper pub food, really friendly accommodating staff, amazing price and value. Will be a regular there from now on!
