About this restaurant

Charming
Good for special occasions
Neighborhood gem

Welcome to the Black Bull.
Tucked away in rural Lancashire, between cloud topped hills, green fields, rolling pastures, and lots of cows... sits The Black Bull Inn.
Nestled in the picturesque village of Old Langho, our stone building has been here since the 1500s. Steeped in history it has it's own warm welcome to travellers from far and wide.
Our menu is fresh, local and has a nice balance of those "pub classics" but brought up to date in modern and inventive ways.
Dog friendly in the bar area or garden, and plenty of cosy seating available in front of our roaring fires, in The Library, or in our gorgeous, beamed, renovated Fire Barn.

A fabulous lunch. First class food and service. We shared a starter and a dessert and had a main each. The starter was delicious - asparagus with a deep friend hens egg. The treacle pudding dessert was a real treat and the custard was out of this world! We will be back
