The Black Bull

Chef Owner Nina’s cooking style is focused on using the very best seasonal produce available to her, taking what is at its best and cooking it in the most sympathetic way to showcase the potential of every element of the produce she uses. Taste, texture and balance are the fundamental ingredients in her cooking… Drawing inspiration from her heritage, Nina builds on the Japanese philosophies of seasonality and locality, elevating them to new heights. Additionally, she incorporates the principles of regional German cooking, which emphasises wholesome, hearty dishes made with vegetables. All of which has led to her distinctive and innovative culinary style.

Our daily menu has produce at the heart, led by Nina’s passion to share seasonal, British ingredients to create an honest menu . A slightly more relaxed affair, with just as much emphasis on quality and flavour.

Seasonal Menus and Special Events need to be booked in advance.

The Black Bull’s Sunday Lunch is something rather special – so much so it’s been recognised as one of the Top 50 in the UK by the Good Food Guide, and we’re justifiably proud of that.

Sunday Lunch

Sunday, at the Black Bull, is all the about the roasts, and Nina and her team put as much passion, and care into it as the rest of the week. As with all our menu we use local meat, sourced direct from the farm, and regional, seasonal produce to serve alongside it. Recently we were awarded a place in the Good Food Guide’s Top 50 Sunday Roasts, we hope you agree.

Breakfast

At breakfast, as with the rest of the day, you’ll find local & British produce at the heart of what we do. A great selection of classic dishes that should provide something for everyone. At the heart of the menu is Nina’s bread, baked daily alongside local pork sausages & bacon, Isle of Wight tomatoes, Cacklebean & local eggs, Northumberland honey, wild mushrooms, Lancashire Greek Style Yoghurt & fresh or preserved fruit & a whole lot more.
