The Black Bull

We booked a meal on Saturday night. We waited on the car park until our dinner booked time when we tried to enter the pub. All was in darkness with a locked door. I phoned the the pub at 6.05 only to be told that they wouldn’t be opening due to staff shortage. I appreciate current problems with covid difficulties but a phone call/ email would have enabled us to make other arrangements,

Really enjoyed our Monday evening meal; a limited menu but very good burgers and great chips. New management, still settling in during their first week; we wish you well and enjoyed chatting with you and the chef :)

On arrival in Escrick this evening, my husband and I decided upon a walk round the village to find somewhere for food. We came across the Black Bull Inn, tucked away on Main Street. On entering we received a very warm welcome from the Landlord; Rich and the Landlady, whose name I am sorry to say I did not get. We ordered our food which took a little while to come but boy was it worth the wait?! Everything was cooked from scratch and was served piping hot and perfectly cooked and presented. My Fish Pie was absolutely delicious and my husband’s Roast Beef dinner was beautifully cooked with a great selection of freshly cooked vegetables. The Inn is beautifully decorated and the ambience was fabulous. I cannot recommend it highly enough! If only we lived closer - we’d be there every night of the week! You won’t be disappointed.
