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.

    Had never been before but were recommended to it; really enjoyed it though the seats were very tightly packed ( a move of a xmas decoration would have left more space!) Service was very pleasant and courteous and the food was very good and tasty. The environment was very good indeed with a lovely ambience. Nice beer garden though it was too cold the day we visited. -Overall : definitely a place to check out and enjoy!

    Accept it was a busy service but we had long waits for the food. Those having a main and a pudding had at least an hour wait before they got anything to eat. Perhaps warning about the delays enables people to order a starter if they are hungry.

    Lovely cosy pub with open fires and beautifully set out for the festive season. Welcomed and shown to our table where the staff were helpful and friendly.
