What an amazing restaurant! The food was delightful, so flavoursome, well presented and great portion sizes. The service was second to none, so attentive, checking in, developing rapport. We took our lovely dog Rosie and they brought her a bed and offered her treats and water. Such excellent value for money and so great to see some less common dishes on the menu which turned out to be great. We will definitely be back when visiting Sedbergh in the future!

Food and service were excellent. My only criticism is that the wines are over priced.

Mains are slightly overpriced, pudding was a little disappointing, seating was too close together - I felt like the couple next to us were sitting at our table! Wine was lovely and service excellent.

Really, really great time at The Black Bull as always. Possibly our favourite pub in the world. Food, staff, interior, location - all stunning. We ate there 4 times over the weekend! Will be back again soon for sure.
