Welcome to the Black Bull.
Tucked away in rural Lancashire, between cloud topped hills, green fields, rolling pastures, and lots of cows... sits The Black Bull Inn.
Nestled in the picturesque village of Old Langho, our stone building has been here since the 1500s. Steeped in history it has it's own warm welcome to travellers from far and wide.
Our menu is fresh, local and has a nice balance of those "pub classics" but brought up to date in modern and inventive ways.
Dog friendly in the bar area or garden, and plenty of cosy seating available in front of our roaring fires, in The Library, or in our gorgeous, beamed, renovated Fire Barn.

    I’m so glad we were able to get a table for lunch with friends on my birthday. Couldn’t believe how beautiful the Fire Barn was all decorated for Xmas! Wonderful food, really lovely staff, and best of all - Dan Merriman, MasterChef Professionals champion this year came out to chat with us - what a privilege to meet this amazing chef and great gentleman.

    Very nice restaurant and food , the wine was a little over priced , and there were a few things unavailable from the menu . We were very well looked after by all of the staff however the Service from start to finish was very slow (without any explanation why) , even though the restaurant was fairly quiet .
