I have been to the black bull for food many time and my daughter would be up there about 2/3 times a month with her Dad. I find the food is quite nice but desert a bit of a rip off. My Daughter was 13 on St.Stephen Day and wanted to go for a meal with her friends and cousin, witch in age ranged from 13 to 16. I rang the Black Bull on the day of her Birthday to ask was it ok if a group of 6 teenagers would get served about 8 o' clock if they were to go in on there own. I got told on the phone by a member of staff that it would be no problem at all. I droped the girls up to the Black Bull myself and waited outside for a few minutes to make sure they were ok and to make sure they were going to get served. I rang my Daughter just before I letf the car park to make sure they got a table, she said they had been seated and everything was ok. That was at about 8.15pm and my Daughter rang me at 10pm to collect them all. The girls gave me a few minutes and then went outside into the carpark to wait for me. As I arrived into the car park the girls were all waiting under the smoking shelter. When we were going down the road in the car they told me that the door man that was on ask them to leave the area and not to be hanging around. My Daughter told him that they weren't hanging around as they were just after being in there for a meal and that they were waiting on there lift home. He then went on to say that they weren't in having a meal as if they had been he would have seen them and he wouldn't let them back into go the toilet or wait inside the door as it was so cold out. I was so mad that when I got home I rang the Black Bull and asked to speck to a manager. I explained to the manager that I had rang that day to make sure it was ok for them to go up and all was fine, so I asked why where they told to leave the area when they were after telling the door man they werer waiting on there lift home as they had just been in for a meal. Thw manager went on to say that they had problems in the past with kids hanging around the area and that the door man was trying to keep them away. I went onto tell him that my kids were all dressed up and they weren't causing any trouble at all but all the manager was interested in was defending the door man. I am very mad that this happened as no matter what age they were they were still paying customers and should never have been spoken to like that. After all they were out for a few hours to just enjoy a nice meal and have a laugh. I would never eat in the Black Bull again and anyone that has teenagers and want to go out for a meal there I would advise you choose another restaurant for your kids to go too. They were happy to take the kids money while inside the door but once they were outside the door man wouldn't even give the kids the time of day. So to the door man on duty that night hope you enjoyed your nights work as you ruined my Daughter's 13th Birthday.
