What beltar682017 doesn't like about The Black Bull Inn:
Flash was a heated frozen fillet and chips were bland. For the location and cost I was expecting much more. The back pub was filled with locals and would not pass a health inspection. They need to be reported especially the disgusting state of the toilets. Avoid at all costs View all feedback. What User likes about The Black Bull Inn:
A large group of us came in last Friday 13th. The lady behind the bar could not have been more accommodating and friendly. The chef had food for all of us out in double time so we could catch the next ferry. Thanks for looking after us all! View all feedback.

Nice place for a drink but restaurant hours so variable difficult to know if the kitchen will be open. Shame especially during tourist season.

Great pub very friendly and welcoming. Great pub grub too but check and book as not serving food every day and night and it’s in demand so it’s best to book.
