  “First time coming here we sat outside since it was a sunny day. Their outdoor seating is nice, some have little roofs over the table. The food has a decent amount of options and everything we ordered was lovely, my family mostly ordered little dishes to share. I was looking forward to trying shiitake mushrooms taco (vegan) however they sadly forgot to order the mushrooms so was unable. I instead got the hummus starter with spring rolls. When ordering at the bar they gave me a tablet to view my items to ensure they had no milk in due to me being lactose intolerant.”

  “Very disappointed with the service recieved. We booked a table for 8 people well in advance for a world cup fixture, and called today to confirm it (there wasn't anything to suggest that it wasn't confirmed). For some reason, they gave every excuse under the sun as to why we couldn't have the reserved table. First, they could only accommodate 6 - fine we will make do. Next, they couldn't give us the time requested, and reduced it by a couple hours, and then they couldn't guarantee view of a TV. Still we were okay to go ahead. And then after all that, we'd have to turn up at 3pm (bearing in mind it's a weekday when most of us work) and stay on the table to be able to have the booking which was originally 8pm. At this point we could tell they clearly didn't want us there and just gave up. Why accept bookings if you can't fulfill them, and it took for us to ring up and confirm to find out. We have friends visiting from out of town and had we turned up on the day it'd have been a major disappointment. Used to be a great local and recently it's clearly absolutely filled beyond capacity to the point table bookings are irrelivent.”

  “Six of us enjoyed an excellent afternoon of food and drinks at the locally renowned Black Bull in Yarm. The atmosphere was relaxed, the service was friendly, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals. I’d definitely recommend taking advantage of the Mon–Fri 12–6 deal, which offers great value without compromising on quality. A great spot for food, drinks, and a catch-up with friends — no doubt we’ll be returning.”

  “OK so we come here every now and again for the tapas selection! Today we ordered 30oz chicken wing extra crispy platter with buffalo x2 and bbq Chorizo and halloumi Cheesy garlic bread Hummus and flatbread 2 chicken tenders Awesome as always with pints of Jubel. This is a great bar inside and out with some great staff. If you have neve tried the wings you need to, ask for them extra crispy they are fabulous!”

  “I don’t usually leave reviews, but I wanted to compliment the pub on their recent art exhibition! I saw the signs out front over the weekend and decided to pop in to have a look. Saw some wonderful works in the marquee and had a great chat with the exceptional artist, Harriet. I ended up staying for some lunch. I hope to see more exhibitions in the future and love to see a local pub supporting local people. Bravo, black bull!”

  “Disappointing visit for the first time on a Sunday. The two young girls on the bar (didn’t see any name tags etc sorry) were consistently woeful to customers at the bar; I’ve never been served here before like this, with what other people described as open contempt. Honestly for such a great pub normally you need to train these members properly or not have them work in services. Disappointing experience when normally it’s exceptional.”

  “This was my second time having bottomless brunch and both views were fantastic. Millie looked after us all night and was so helpful and you felt no pressure unlike other places I've been for bottomless brunch.”

  “Lovely food and good portion size. Review update: Revisited on 19th Dec whilst away with work. Pub was sooo busy & loud being that time of year, managed to find one spare small table. Amazing food again and good service despite how busy they were. Revisited on 11th Sept 24, pub very busy as it was quiz night but luckily found a table. Food took around 50mins to be served, server apologised for the long wait, as apparently a large order after mine came in and mine got pushed back in the queue 🙁 Fish tasted good and was served hot. Fries & peas were Luke warm unfortunately and egg could have been cooked better, plus it was hard yolk not runny, which was a shame.”
