   1. Dark like in blacks armpit. 2. Almost one hour waiting for main meal. 3. Beef burgers thick but dry and rather tasteless. 4. Onion ring dripping with oil on chicken burger. 5. Waitress looked like fell off Christmas tree and doesn't know what's going on. 6. Very poor menu

   Food was nice but the older lady that was serving us had a serious attitude problem and would not return again,it’s a pity as the food was good

   A rib-eye steak cooked to perfection, I ordered it rare and expected it to be medium rare because that’s what I’m kinda used to elsewhere ...but that will not be necessary at Blackbull! Next time I'll just order it medium rare knowing that’s what I'll get 🤗

   The staff were beyond accommodating to us. We ended up being a large table and they went out of their way to facilitate us. The level of friendless is excellent and the service was outstanding. A1

    Seems to have changed from previous visits. Menu is disappointing but what we ordered was nice. Chips were only ok though. Very expensive. I had a 10oz steak, small portion of mash, pepper sauce and onion rings and 2 diet cokes (mixer bottles 250ml, which irritates me as they are meant to be a mixer and are not a drink) and it cost me around 55 euro. Staff were lovely and attentive.

    The menu is quite varied but limited in choice .The value is good & the food on offer is also very good . What might be of interest to their customers might be a greater variety of food on offer . Over all we had a very good experience , good food served very professionally

    For the first time in coming here for 15 years we left disappointed. Didn't like the new format of the Sunday roast. The Yorkshire was soggy and flat and there were no roast potatoes. Deserts were adequate but expected better for 7.50 Euro, had to wait a long time for them to be served. We weren't charged for the coffees as recompense but it did spoil the overall experience.

    Forgot our spoons with the soup, waited a few minutes then had to get them ourselves. Mashed potato came out cold & chicken burger was burnt around the edges.

    Very disappointing food and expect a lot more from the blackbull. A plate of Eastern European slop was served, soup was sour and the special lamb dish was mince, the waitress explained a completely different dish and was not very pleasant.

    The Black Bull was a wonderful surprise! The building, to a visitor, does not have great curb appeal, BUT it’s a fantastic spot to have a great meal. The meal was excellent and the service was second to none. We would recommend The Black Bull to everyone.

    Waited awhile to be asked for drinks. We understand it was a Saturday evening but felt it was too long. The food was nice but also felt it took too long to get to us. Maybe 10mins more the food would had been cold. The restaurant is nice but maybe some improvement on service.

    Service was just terribly slow, that’s why we left it a while before going back again. Didn’t seem like a shortness of staff just not attentive enough.

    Food was absolutely incredible last night. Starters and mains just delicious. The child didn’t even leave a chip behind he said he can’t wait to go back and it’s his new favourite. Steaks were unreal!! Already can’t wait for the next

    Not the staff fault - when they could be found in order to ask for something - but the 12 ounce steak was like rubber and a mass load of fat. I ended up with half of it put back on the plate after trying to get through it all. Spent ages just looking for parts I could eat. Ordered it medium to well done - but center was anything but! Near rare. Had to keep going looking for staff. Having to get up from the table to look for them at one point just for more drink. After 8.15+ they vast majority appeared to have mass vanished. Swoosh... Gone. They we had to go looking for them again to get desert - waited another 15 minutes. No show. When it finally arrived, the apple crumble was barely warm at all. Within three minutes, utterly stone cold and uneatable. The wife was drinking Malibu and coke. The bar completely ran out of Malibu. what sort of setup is this place? Would I recommend it to others as a place to visit? Absolutely not at the way it's being run at the moment. We spent €150+ and totally feel we were robbed.
