The Black Boy

Absolutely great place to visit. The location is great, right on the canal. I could imagine when it is busy the waiting time may increase, but the meals are worth waiting for

Came here for a family meal after Christmas, food was really nice and staff were very helpful. I ordered the roast chicken and chips.

Would definitely like to come back here in the summer.

Visited mid-week with friends, great atmosphere, great food and super friendly staff. Drinks seemed a bit pricey but the food was good value. Thank you.

Not having been to The Black Boy for several years, we were happy that we were pleasantly welcomed and the menu looked interesting.

We ordered drinks from a nice variety (we had Tribute) whilst deciding in the end to all go for the posh finger sandwiches.

Despite having 2 different parties of 10 arriving at the same time, our food arrived within 10 minutes - very nicely presented - sitting in the winter sun looking down the canal to the boatyard. Filling and cooked to perfection as well as being waring on a cold day.

I cannot compliment the staff enough and note that, having been to the "posh pub" in Knowle, the toilets were much cleaner and pleasant to use.

It was a nice walk, made more so by the pub lunch, and we will definitely be going back.

Had a great t-bone steak. My friend had a sausage and big Yorkshire pudding. The food is great. Great service.

We haven't been here since before COVID and all we can say is that it was fantastic from the minute we came through the door and we were greeted by Emma who we found out was actually part of the family that owns The Black Boy. The food, atmosphere and friendlyness was outstanding,we would recommend anybody to visit here young or old.

One of my favourite pubs in the country. The food is always impeccable and leaves me feeling full and satisfied, the staff are always very friendly and welcoming and the place always has a lovely and comfy atmosphere. Bonus points cause its right by the canal where you can have a nice walk and they always have some good music choices

18 friends had a lovely meal. Very impressive diverse menu. All meals were hot and tasty and reasonable prices. Very polite staff. I will definitely return. Most 2 courses were under approx £20.

Stayed overnight in the campervan in the large car park. Absolutely. Brilliant! Superb food - very busy pub/restaurant - quiet stopover and would highly recommend!

Great location, great food, friendly staff, been here on many occasions throughout the years and it never dissapoints. Yes sometimes there can be a wait for food but it's worth it. Lovely in summer to sit out and watch the barges go by. Cosy in winter with good hearty food always.

Breakfast with Santa was magical. Food delicious and the staff were brilliant. My grandchildren had the best morning, so did I if I’m honest. Fabulous atmosphere 💖💖💖 thank you to all at The Black Boy

Great pint of Guinness here and the staff were in good spirits and pleasant despite it being a very busy warm day. Outdoor area by the canal is a great little spot to enjoy the sunshine and a play area keeps the kids busy. Food looked great too but I'd already eaten. Would definitely go back.

The pub was lovely and the food was decent. Staff were a good laugh and friendly. Will be heading back.

We went for a birthday meal with family. The staff were very friendly and our food was really nice. Would definitely go back to enjoy the canal view with a beer on a sunny day.

Lovely lunch on Sunday, the food was amazing we had a great time. We will definatly return.

Really nice, had the braised steak with chips bang on, not small portions got plenty on the plate, can get busy here so would book first, well worth it, 👍

Such a lovely place to have a meal, the staff are very friendly and helpful.
The food was sooo nice and I can see why you have to book in advance to guarantee a table.

Booked a table for 4 on new year's day,on arrival we was shown our table straight away it was quite busy but staff were coping,Didn't have to Wait long for our food which was tasty nice and hot and plentiful.The staff were friendly and efficient at all times,will be returning A ++++

1st time visit eat and drank in the beer garden.
The food choice is excellent and very tasty plus good play area for children although we could take our dog into the garden I wish there was a small area indoors to take her in the winter when we can't sit outdoors.
While the weather is nice we will definitely visit again.

First time here today all I can is WOW!!! What an amazing setting for a country pub, one of the best . Also the menu caters to anyone from pub classics to homemade selection even curry's , you name it they have it. I opted for homemade steak ale and mushroom pie which was one of the best I've tried and my wife had scampi which she really enjoyed . The staff are super friendly even the poor girl who was suffering with a bit of a sore throat was happy to chat away with us. Highly recommend and will 100% be returning here .
