The Black Bull Inn - Berwick-upon-Tweed

Had a lovely Christmas dinner with the family. Everyone enjoyed their dishes, but the best part was the lovely and warm service of the staff. Justice provided us with many laughs and made us feel at home. The owner popped in and was a real cool Dutch guy. Will definitely be back any time I’m in lowick!

Beautiful pub in a picturesque location.

Room are decorated to a very high standard, are clean and well equipped with tea making facilities, TV, shower, iron etc.

The food is unbelievable. Every dish on the menu looks delicious, and over our two nights there, we got to enjoy four of the dishes and four breakfasts.
Hand on heart, each and every meal was above expectation (and we have high expectations).

Best part of our entire experience were the lovely staff. Nothings better than to hear happy staff. Loved to hear the chuckles from the kitchen in a morning.

Keep doing what you're doing guys n gals, because it's working.... with bells on. ?

We visited the Black Bull on Sunday and had the Sunday lunch. It was delicious, a good portion of meat which was so tender, and a good selection of veg. We booked again for yesterday, it didn't disappoint. I had the venison dish and my husband had the pork loin dish, both of which were beautifully presented and tasted divine. Very high end and excellent chefs. All the staff were very accommodating, nothing was too much trouble. They even brought our dog a bowl of water (dogs are allowed in the bar area). We shall definitely eat there again if we're in the area.?

A gem of an Inn near to so many places of interest. Lovely large room with everything you need. Great menu with good cookery and great breakfast. Staff were lovely too. A fab stay for us!

We dined a the Inn on 8th of September and the food was excellent BUT where I was seated it could just as well have been a public loo. The room was dimly lit, fine, and totally unnecessary background music, cold, until I turned on the heating. The wall I was facing was dull blue/grey with some old black and white photos of the inn to my left. The pictures might have been interesting if one could see them but they were behind a table and in the dark. It is a great pity as with a bit of thought the aspect could have been SO much better. Anyway we enjoyed the food.

A waste of £79.60 + £15 for Morrisons Meal Deals
Was excited to have a Sunday Lunch and a get together with my 3 grown up children. Booked a table for 2 pm and asked for the bill at 2.35 pm! Looked nice on entering but was quite cold. Noticed other patrons still had their coats and jackets on and some were eating. First red flag. Young waitress took our drinks order while we looked at menu. We ordered 2 roast beef, 1 chicken and 1 mixed meat. Food was served within 10 minutes. 2nd red flag. One of my sons food was cold as was my mashed potatoes and vegetables. The gravy was like water. The roast potatoes were anaemic. No flavour, no crispness whatsoever. My eldest said they were frozen potatoes as they are like the ones he gets at his work. Definitely not homemade in meat juices! My other two said their meals were ok but I knew they were trying to not upset me. Then when we looked at the 2 slices of beef on our plates, I nearly threw up! There was gristly fat around the outside, but the worst was the HUGE slab of uncooked, white, slimy fat in the middle of the slices. There was more fat than meat. My sons said their meat was the same. You wouldn't serve it to your dog! I have never in my 60 years been served such a horrid meal. I have had so much better at a Toby Carvery! I could not eat it. When the waitress came to the table she asked if the meal was ok, I said no, it was inedible and explained why. She said that she would speak to the kitchen. She came back with the bill but no apology, nothing. Just says it all really. We drove away hungry and I was upset. We went to Morrisons on the way back and I bought them all a meal deal. I filled in a survey online, but yet again, have never had a reply.

Great service, food came hot and within 10 minutes of ordering. I would recommend the venison pie, meat is sourced locally and is delicious. Fish and chips are also huge and with chunky homecooked chips. Very cosy atmosphere inside and you can even bring your dogs in as long as you eat in the bar area. Will be returning to try the burger.

We had the venison pie, fantastic choice. Tons of succulent meat, super tender. My wife had some lush white wine. Booking is a must, it does get very busy.
