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.

    Nice venue on a busy Saturday night. Bar seating only available. Nice cocktails, lovely desserts (Choc Hazelnut Cheesecake was very nice!). Partner had Crab salad which he said was delicious, I made a poor choice as the Cheese Pie was just OK, lacked seasoning as did the very bland Mashed Potato. Will return but not for the Pie!

    Fabulous bar and restaurant. Beautifully decorated. Staff were attentive and looked after us very well. Menu had lots of choice and food was well presented and very tasty. I am coeliac and was very well catered for. I even had desert which is not the norm and it was tremendous. Definitely worth a visit.

    Fabulous food but not made to feel welcome or valued as customers. Much friendlier a couple of years ago.

    Food and ambience fabulous. Could have done with another staff member waiting on as it got rather busy … Valentines Day and increased customers could have been predicted. Wonderful experience nonetheless. But £13.50 for a glass of wine! 😱

    My hubby and i had an absolutely fantastic ‘lunch date’ for Valentine’s day. The food was fabulous and the staff couldn’t do enough for us. We thoroughly enjoyed it.

    First time at the Black Bull. At first look, you might think the prices were a little high for gastropub food. Fear not, when the food arrives you realise the quality of the food is on another level. Had a steak and ale pot pie and if its not the best pie I've ever eaten its definitely in the top 3. My Mother had the chicken supreme which was presented beautifully and apparently was excellent. The pub itself is lovely, lighting prefect, service exceptional. There was a fine dining event on later in the evening and was set up in the dining room which is also very tastefully done. With the masterchef winning chef in the kitchen I expected it to be good but it exceeded my expectations.

    Fantastic lovely pub. Manager was welcoming and very smartly dressed he was lovely. Loved the wooden menu holders, nice to go into a place that you can tell the owners care about spending money on the venue maintaining it to a high standard. Would definitely return The food was exceptionally good
