Our menus
While some restaurants follow fads and trip themselves up trying to set trends, The Black Bull has had the strength of character to stay true to its Anglo-French roots for over 40 years. The result is a loyal following of passionate regulars that grows with each new visitor!
The Black Bull is famously well regarded as a great place for seafood, no doubt in part because of the ingenuity of the late former owner who devised a system of salt water tanks that allowed the kitchen to stock live lobsters, prawns and oysters. Of course, it’s also very much thanks to the talents of our head chef and their team, who effortlessly turn out beautifully created dishes.
