WELCOME To BLACK BULL INN

Black Bull Harden's 2010 - Commended
The new owner of this long-popular fish restaurant "Has really got his act together" - the food is "sublime", the staff ("some ex-Sharrow Bay"!) are "very good", and the unusual setting (a former Pullman railway carriage) is very "intimate".

For over forty years The Black Bull Inn has enjoyed tremendous success
with a fantastic reputation for great food, friendly service and good times. Known for its consistently brilliant classic Anglo-French menu, with a strong emphasis on seafood, it attracts discerning diners from far and wide – whether that be locals dropping in for their regular treat, tourists glad to add this wonderful pit-stop to their itinerary or gourmets making the pilgrimage to this much-respected, must-visit restaurant. It’s also played host to a famous name or two, with Prince Charles, Ian Botham, Andrew Lloyd Webber and William Hague all having dined there.

New owner Philip Barker purchased the property from Audrey Pagendam. The Pagendam family originally purchased the one-room pub in 1963, and then extended the property into the adjoining cottages making way for a bustling restaurant. Further extensions continued with the additions of the Black Bull ‘Fish Bar’, conservatory and three private dining rooms, not to mention the unique vintage train carriage ‘Hazel’.

Lovingly developed by its owners, the Black Bull has grown from a one-room pub to a sprawling restaurant with lots of inviting nooks and crannies, some real surprises, and bagfuls of charm and character.

From the unique charms of dining in an authentic First Class Pullman train carriage to the cosy private rooms, or from the bright conservatory to the vibrant, no-need-to-book Fish Bar, the Black Bull has a lot to offer. Whatever you’re looking for you can be sure of a warm welcome and a cracking meal.
