   I am always doubtful about going to restaurants on my own and at 81 I think I stand out a bit, I didn't get that feeling at the Black Bull. All the staff I came into contact with were quite sociable. Starter was perfection, Halloumi Fries, and I've never had Roast Lamb for a long time but I got a big plateful of food which for my appetite was a bit too much, nothing wrong with that it was good and at £34 for 2 courses reasonable but £8 for a large glass of Merlot, that was a lot, but I enjoyed so what the hell Used to go in the Bull over 60yrs ago when I worked at the then Brockhall hospital, obviously it has changed since then and is now a quality restaurant,

   Thoroughly enjoyed the sharing platter and desserts for Sunday lunch. The atmosphere was buzzing as it was busy, but the service did not suffer as a result. You pay a little more, but it is worth it for a treat. Masterchef connection won’t do this place any harm!

    We had a lunch with business colleagues and the venue was perfect- we could hear each other easily and it was not overly busy that we could hear other tables talking. The food was well prepared and served promptly and we all enjoyed it immensely. The draught beer was good but equally Guinness zero was also available, so we didn't feel the need finish our conversations quickly nor fearful of driving back to the office/home. Would encourage anyone to enjoy this gem on the edge of the Trough of Bowland.
