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.","diningStyle":"Casual Dining","publicTransit":"Our nearest train station is Old Langho, which is an easy 20 min walk through country roads to our door.","executiveChef":null,"entertainment":null,"cateringDetails":null,"website":"http://www.blackbulloldlangho.co.uk/","hoursOfOperation":"Mon–Sat 12:00 pm–11:00 pm\n
