About The Black Bull Hotel
The Black Bull Hotel is a bar and grill on Hull Rd in York, with the front of the building strung with fairy lights.

Dogs are welcome, and food comes out quickly from the kitchen. Discount email codes go out to customers, and the venue is listed as a bar and grill alongside pub and family restaurant categories.

“Great food at reasonable prices. They even email me with discount codes.”

“We were pleasantly surprised with our our meals here. We both enjoyed them. I ordered the kung pao prawn sizzler and my partner ordered a burger. Mine didn't taste much of the sweet chilli stiry fry sauce, which turned out to be because they ran out of it so they should have told me this before making the dish. Anyway, they were able to offer me another sauce instead and I chose the hot honey which does have more spice than I was expecting but it was quite nice. We would eat here again and it was definitely a satisfying meal but not a stuffing meal which is also good. The atmosphere was nice and it looked lovely out the front with the fairy lights. The waitress, Michelle, was very friendly and checked everything was okay with our meals.”

“I had the 8-ounce Sirloin, and I am told it was QUINN who cooked it to perfection. Bravo Quinn, and thank you for a delicious steak!”

“4 of us came for lunch. 2 of us had the mac and cheese. It was v rich and creamy.”
- Rob Dog
“Minging food. Gravy was freezing cold and tasted sour, sausages weren't even cooked, when I took a bite it was freezing and raw. Half of order was wrong. The table they reserved for me was dirty and refused to clean it. Staff were rude and miserable. So unprofessional here only come if you want to feel ill the next day. Wouldn't even give it a rating if there was an option. Even the guy who was cleaning was useless, no proper supplies to clean and picked up a scrunched up piece of kitchen paper which was on one of the tables with dirty plates on to clean the tables with. Just tissue no antibacterial stuff. Terrible all together. Avoid”
