Black Bull Bellingham

Have just popped in for Sunday dinner in the evening. We did ring to check what time it was served until and although the Sunday roast normally was all gone earlier in the day they kindly kept some saved for us . Very much a local pub we were made to feel very welcome and my young daughter was treated wonderfully , will definitely stop by again if we are in the area .

We had a great time visiting this pub, the food is great! they served 12pm till 9pm all day which is ideal as the other pub in the village stops serving for a few hours before dinner service. The food was all freshly made and good quality. They had the fire on with some Fleetwood mack playing which made the atmosphere really laidback and cozy. We found the selection of drinks great and the price was reasonable. They had live music on the following weekend which we would have went to however we were returning back home the following day. We would definitely make a trip back to the area specifically to stay in the Black Bull's hotel.

We had an amazing night at Black Bull Hotel Bellingham last night for our Christmas meal. Food was amazing! And service and atmosphere was brilliant. Thank you so much to Cayley, Marcus and their fantastic staff. Would highly recommend it to anyone looking for somewhere nice and friendly to go for a meal

Beautiful food and good portion sizes. Very tasty . We had the black bull beef burger and chicken burger. Both came with homemade chips,onion rings and coleslaw. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Lovely cosy pub. Would highly recommend it you are passing or in the area.

Lovely pub with a nice atmosphere, great food and drinks. We stayed one night in the hotel. The rooms were spotless, clean and had everything we needed. An amazing open fire down in the pub, could have sat there for hours will defiantly be returning!

Having read the reviews I wasn’t sure but we thought we would give it a go. I rang at 4pm to ask what time they were serving food until. We were told it was 7.30pm. So we arrived at 6.40pm to an almost empty pub. There were people at two other tables. There was no one at the bar with 2 customers waiting and another customer had to go and find the bar staff. Once we got to order drinks, we were told they may not be serving food as they had a darts match (this seems to be a recurring theme from the other reviews). The bar staff asked the kitchen and told they already had an order for 8 people so couldn’t accommodate our order. So we had to leave. I did say to the bar staff that this seemed a recurring theme from previous reviews and she said they had just taken over. Looks like not much has changed. We ended up going to The Cheviot across the road for a much more pleasant welcome. It also is a lot nicer inside and we were a lot happier to be eating there. We plan to return to the village for future holidays but will not be attempting a meal at the Black Bull. They are just not reliable, particularly when we rang to check times of service.
