the food is dreadful, very over priced and not for the big eaters as plates are so small you can barely fit 3 spuds on when having the carvery.Not much choice in veg and very basic but chewy options . The management barely notice your there, no smiles no welcoming no nothing, rather rude!! Considering the black bull used to be a very popular and friendly pub, its turned into a wanna be wine bar which is in desperate need of customers!!! would rather go up the road to the bird ith hand, least the landlord greets you!

The only good thing about this pub is the staff just a shame half of them don't stay there long enough to prove themselves. Same cant be said for the management who and I quote " see the customers as pound signs" (which has been said to former members of staff) ridiculously priced beer. honesty is the best policy

food is fresh home made 10/10 worth every penny + more, home feel to the pub lots of entertainment large garden and play area very family friendley (unlike the pub up the road) the previous comments which is personal and vicious abuse towards the managers and not what this website is all about!!

The Black Bull is a fantastic family pub, the food is always lovely and good value for money. Homecooked and none of that microwave rubbish. The staff and managers are wounderfull, always very friendly and officiant. The jungle fun area is great for kids and keeps them busy for hours. There is something for everyone. Pensioners two course carvery on Wednesdays for only �4.95 is always really nice. They also have monday pensioners, jazz and swing night, thursday quiz night, friday live acts, saturday night karaoke, sunday carvery, and monday to friday toddler group. The credit crunch menu is great value for money, really large portions, unlike some pubs where you may pay less but the food is terrible and the portion is pathetic. There is also a choice of real ale on draft, like theakstons and bombardier, its a real feel good old fashioned pub inkeeping with the building itself. Any bad reviews are 100% false and dont let them put you off! Myself and many others are regulars for a reason. x

Overpriced isnt the word! there "credit crunch menu" is five pound...work that one out. The managers are jokes! Nasty little people with no idea of how to run a buisness at all! chase more customers away the place is always empty.Staff are really nice but under valued. Pub is in serious need a decorating. looks like something from the 1930s. manager is a lazy eyed dwarf that wouldn't look out of place in lord of the rings & the woman needs to check into rehab as her breath is 40 per cent proof. amy winehouse watch out. she wants your title. all in all the black bull is a nice place as long as you can't see, hear or smell anything. save your money buy a ready meal at least you know its home cooked. mwha

This pub is over priced and pretentious, really tries to be something its not. The owners obviously have no idea how to run the place coz its always empty, while other pubs in the area do well. You can get a pint cheaper just about everywhere else in the area. The house wine is obviously really cheap stuff, a bit like paint stripper but still quite pricey. The food is nothing special considering they claim homecooked but obviously reheated in a microwave, lasagne was hotter than hot. Steer clear on a saints home game, too busy and you get your drink literally thrown at you in a plastic beaker. Staff are ok, always look smart and polite. Owner very moody if you catch him on the wrong day. The woman is ok but likes a drink.

it isn't all bad, but it isn't all great either. landlord and landlady aren't as bad as some of these other comments make out. always put customers first, can be really lovely and not so nice to staff. food is lovely. prices are okay for food but beer is abit overpriced. great staff :) :) :) nice and welcoming and always get the job done to a great standard. apart from lack of sky tv the only real problem this pub has. great family day out, kids love it. id recommend it :)

landlady is a alcoholic who treats staff awfully. landlord has little man syndrome and kitchen is filthy. be warned. ha biatch

This pub has changed so much in the last 4 yrs! It is now a lovely community pub - great for the whole family. In the family room due to kids without shoes - plastic glasses are used for safety reasons. In the family room there is a pool table and soft play area. A toddler group called Cheeky is held in the family room Monday to Friday term time only and kids parties are also held there. Food is fresh home cooked and may take a while at busy times esecially at weekends when it can get really busy. The beer garden is great in the summer for kids with the adventure play area. Food prices are comparable to all fresh food pubs in the area - kids meals are probably of a better quality!

Food tasteless and of poor quality (and exhorbitantly priced!). Beer average, but served in plastic glasses on Saints match days (awful!). No Sky TV although it advertises "Big Screen Sport".
Go elsewhere.

Has been going downhill for years, gets packed on matchdays, other than that you're better off going somewhere else.

Large pub with a huge beer garden to the rear incorporating a 5-a-side football pitch. In adequate supply of real ale, the John Smiths Magnet did not last far into the afternoon. Barbecue for large sport events at the close by St Helens Rugby league ground.
