We didn't stay at this hotel we only had Christmas lunch. The service is superb, but it was let down by the tradional Christmas turkey, which was more of a rolled turkey and the swede (I think it was swede) was a mushy liquid on the side of the plate. The gravy didnt go with any of the meat on... More

My husband and I went here for my birthday in November. Got a great deal for two nights bed and breakfast with one night's dinner included for a very small amount through a deal website. We absolutely loved it! All the staff looked after us well and every meal with delicious. Dinner was wonderful- we had all three courses and... More

I have been to the Black Bull a few times over the last couple of years and stopped going when it was under the old management as the service was dreadful, food below average and staff very unwelcoming. However - now it is a different place! The menu is really interesting and different, the food delicious and the staff are... More

Stopped here for lunch one day last week, had burgers which definitely didn't taste homemade and were rather unpleasant. The girl serving was cheery but she was on her own so service was slow. More

I heard the Black Bull was under new management and was eager to see how things had changed. I visited last Wednesday with the family and was delighted with the food and the service. We have two children under 5 which can be stressful, especially in such a nice establishment, but the staff (and manager) were adept in making us... More

My Boyfriend and I travelled to Lauder recently and popped into the Black bull for Dinner. It's been recently renovated and re -opened and so has a really friendly, buzzing atmosphere. We were seated quickly in a cosy corner and were promtly served our drinks in a very professional manner. The staff are all very friendly and welcoming. The menu... More

We arrived on Friday after a long drive up from London, a little skeptical of what we were going to find as we entered the sleepy village of Lauder. We were attending a wedding, and to our horror found we were the only wedding guests staying at the Black Bull, with most of the other guests staying at an hotel... More

The Bull has been truly awful for the past year or so but thankfully the owners have moved on this summer. New management has improved things a fair bit....you now get a welcome and although a bit too expensive, the food is pretty good. Again, service is fine but maybe needs some refining. More

The Black Bull has been through more than it should for such an important part of the Lauder landscape. However, Chris and Andrew need to be complemented for their ambition to bring the Bull back to what it should be . Today it's part traditional pub with a range of cask ales (yum!), part 'gentlemen's club' with leather arm chairs,... More
