Black Bull Bellingham

Beautiful food and good portion sizes. Very tasty . We had the black bull beef burger and chicken burger. Both came with homemade chips,onion rings and coleslaw. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Lovely cosy pub. Would highly recommend it you are passing or in the area.

Having read the reviews I wasn’t sure but we thought we would give it a go. I rang at 4pm to ask what time they were serving food until. We were told it was 7.30pm. So we arrived at 6.40pm to an almost empty pub. There were people at two other tables. There was no one at the bar with 2 customers waiting and another customer had to go and find the bar staff. Once we got to order drinks, we were told they may not be serving food as they had a darts match (this seems to be a recurring theme from the other reviews). The bar staff asked the kitchen and told they already had an order for 8 people so couldn’t accommodate our order. So we had to leave. I did say to the bar staff that this seemed a recurring theme from previous reviews and she said they had just taken over. Looks like not much has changed. We ended up going to The Cheviot across the road for a much more pleasant welcome. It also is a lot nicer inside and we were a lot happier to be eating there. We plan to return to the village for future holidays but will not be attempting a meal at the Black Bull. They are just not reliable, particularly when we rang to check times of service.

This place was amazing I had fishcakes and halloumi, lovely, with a very tasty salad Hubby had steak pie and chips and was well impressed The staff are very friendly and super helpful. The place is clean and has a modern but traditional feel to it
