The Black Bull Lanchester,

Proper village pub with really friendly bar staff. As a real ale drinker, it was nice to have a perfect hand pulled pint of Wainwright's. Will definitely be back.

Edit: I apologise, I've transposed my own experiences of the pub which I used to work in and drawn parallels to yours during the small snapshot of time I was there, that's unfair of me. I'm glad to hear things aren't as bad as I surmised in my review, I appreciate your candor about the situation with your competition, We much preferred, and spent more time in the Black Bull than Crinnians when we visited recently and I put that down to the authenticity of your pub. I would love to come back with my family for lunch one Sunday soon to see the garden and try a few of more of your ales. Thanks for getting back to me. The beer was good as was the pool table, but the pub looks very tired and is in need of sprucing up, especially the gents toilets. When I was there at 8pm on a Saturday, there were 4 people in the bar, and 3 didn't stay long. It's a shame as it reminded me of the pub I used to work in, the potential is there. This is my first visit to the area but I think that Crinnians up the road are in danger of depleting the Black Bull's business, which is sad because a village needs more than just one successful pub. I recommend this pub, especially to the locals, for their support, if you don't use it you will lose it!
