Went to the Black Boy for Fathers Day, took the family so my husband could have a day off the washing up. We had a lovely meal, the meals where large and fabulous, the steak was melt in your mouth and my sons had chicken which was lovely and tender, the side orders was large and plentiful as for the...

We visited on Wednesday 12 June party of four. We ordered the food, one of the meals was steak with Stilton sauce. When it turned up they forgot the sauce so we asked for it and it turned up fairly quickly. My boyfriend poured it all over the food on his plate then noticed there was mushrooms in it! He... More

Had a terrific meal once again 6 of us this time lovely meals we sat in the gardens for a bit it looks so pretty with all the lovely flowers , the staff were great always helpful .

I took my girlfriend and her parents here as we'd viewed the menu online and decided there was something we all liked. We arrived to find many tables reserved, we took this as a good sign that it must be popular. After ordering drinks at the bar we sat at a table to pick off the items we'd previously decided... More

After ordering and paying for the food I was only then informed that we could expect a wait of an hour for the food even though there were several empty tables inside the pub. One hour and fifteen minutes later the food finally turned up. The jacket potato was burnt, it was actually like charcoal underneath - totally black. Halfway... More

My boyfriend and I have eaten here in the past, though not very often due to the poor service often received and the less than welcoming bar/service staff. Today we visited as a 'last chance' as we were passing. We (surprisingly) found a clean table straight away, but that was the only plus point of the visit. We ordered our... More
