Had the complete misfortune to call here for lunch one day...If you are Vegetarian..just forget it! The staff think that being a vegetarian means that you will still eat fish! They did have an old mouldy vegetable kiev lurking about in the freezer that was left from when it was on the old menu..but we declined that kind offer! We settled for mushroom soup which didn't taste of mushrooms at all but of bovril!,,then apple and blackberry crumble which was served upside down...we weren't sure if they were trying to do things differently here..but I don't think we were that lucky..they just couldn't be bothered to get it on the dish the right way up! The coke we had to drink was flat!..and we wondered why the carpark was empty! NEVER AGAIN!

after deciding to eat out on Friday 22/01/10 at the black bull midgley i must stress how disappointed we was at the service and quality of food on offer there.we ordered our starter which was supposed to be homemade wild mushroom soup and 20 minutes later we got two dishes of what i can only describe as pond water with a few bits of dark stuff in it which was trying to pass as mushrooms that soup as never seen homemade it was just add water. after our plates was cleared we was still waiting 40 minutes later for our main course which was a supposed to be a steak and a sweet and sour chicken. at this point my husband was getting a bit impatient about waiting so long as there was only twelve people in the pub which i found hard to believe on a Friday night at that particular pub,he approached the bar to ask when our meal was to be served as he did so a pint of larger and a glass of wine was ordered the landlord as i now know him as was not happy with the cleanliness of the glass so he decided to wipe it on his shirt then continued to pour the wine this was the same shirt he was wearing to clear the dirty plates away in how disgusting is that. my husband asked how long our meal would be and the man just kept saying they was busy and it wouldn't be long after a short while 40 mins after our soup the man came out with our main courses when i pointed out to him that i thought the service was very poor and that homemade soup was out of a packet and not fresh he just kept saying they was busy i also pointed out that there was only twelve people in the pub and i was a cook he just turned and walked away no apologies or anything then when i looked at my food i noticed that my sweet and sour sauce was probably out of a jar aswell we have had many a meal out and have never had to complain before until now i do hope that this respond will be helpful in the future and i will not be recommending this pub to anyone whatsoever we was still talking about it on the sunday and will be telling everyone at work on monday about our bad experience there. also the landlord needs to go on basic health and hygiene course and an up selling course to encourage good custom and not bad as he is getting now as all the good comments was from 2008 not recent didnt he have the pub then.

Got to thank Tony and his team for their great pub, quality food and friendliness. I run away travel for football supporters and we've been feed and watered three times on our travels up north from Milton Keynes in the last year. Excellent food and service every time for up to 100 of us, they even laid on a full carvery at 10am on our trip to Hartlepool and we've got three more trips to The Black Bull coming up this season. We can't wait as it really adds to our day out. We stop all over the country on our travels and we've made it our pub of the year.

Very good surroundings and a pleasant manner from the Staff. However our last meal here was not upto the normal standard, items missing it looked as though not a lot of thought had gone into the meal preparation and was somewhat rushed with little pride.If you like your steak charcoal Burnt then this is the place to go. We have had some good food here in the past but the meal we had today was not upto scratch, we informed the waitress but we never received a apology. We will be back but will be giving the steak a miss next time

Just had a meal, and was lovely. Was my mums b'day party and we turned all 25 of us and we were treat really well. The pub was actually quite busy, but they coped well and all our food arrived at the same time. I had delicious barnsley chops. Yummy indeed, most of the party went for the 'all you can eat' carvery which I am told was lovely.

10 out of 10. Good pub food, in a clean and lovely pun environment. The place is lovely and spotlessly clean, the service was crisp and correct amount of attentive the food was lovely. Ate on a Monday night and the place was thriving. Definitely coming again, probably this weekend.
