Since the new manager Phil took over, the Royal Oak now serves food. Not a big selection of menu,…read morebut the menu board changes every week depends on the availability. I had lovely seabass with freshly cooked vegetables and my husband had steak, cooked to perfection. There is a good selection of desserts to choose for. Very friendly staff especially the manager Phil is very welcoming. We will definitely come back.

Despite calling itself an 'ale and wine bar', Muse is foremost a restaurant, and it's rare that…read moreyou'll see drinkers in here who aren't waiting for food, eating or just having eaten. That's a shame really, as the bar here features the same good selection of ales and continental beers present in Arcadia and Bar T'at, the other Leeds pubs in this small local chain, and it's full of nooks and crannies ideal for curling up in with a pint. Considering however that they do seem to market themselves as more restaurant than pub, I found it quite shocking that on a recent visit not one of the eight sandwiches and paninis on offer on the lunch menu were vegetarian. Not even a cheese and pickle in sight. When I asked, the staff were more than happy to put something together for me, but I feel that in this day and age we should have moved beyond the point where non meat eaters have to ask before their dietary requirements are taken into consideration.

Great little resturant to have a nice quiet meal with your partner. my hubby and i went there for…read moreour anniversary a couple of months ago. i had the special tagliatellie which was soooo nice and creamy! my hubby had steak diane which he said was gorgous too. the beers arent too pricey and the staff are always rushed off their feet but bery friendly! all in all a very nice litle place.

The Black Bull in Wetherby is by far one of the best Public Houses I've been to this side of Leeds…read more I say "Best by far" for three reasons. The first, is that the whole character of this place is genuine, nostalgic and well presented around the rest of the stone buildings. Second, from entering the main entrance from across the way from the Wetherby Town Hall, the atmosphere hits your senses: Music in particular, which is lacking in many pubs across Yorkshire. And, third, as well as the music selection, the choice of beers and other beverages is not lacking in variety. The pub is big (self notable as to maintain upwards of 150 or more) with adequate seating, both comfortable and relaxing. The Pool table is a good touch (£1 per game) and never fails to entertain. And, with a large outside area (beer garden) where those who smoke can go out and socialise happily, it is these main factors that give The Black Bull, Wetherby, my 5* Rating. Having been here a few times (regrettably only visiting for the first time a year ago) I found the staff exceptional, warm and friendly. Socially speaking, the customers are (who I, myself interacted with) were also warm and friendly, happy to converse and socially active in blending with the atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone coming to Wetherby from either Leeds or the Harrogate area's, if only to experience the way that pubs should be - and were before the big change.

We've stopped off here twice for food now, before a long drive home from Harrogate. Right in the…read morecentre of the pretty North Yorkshire town of Wetherby, the Black Bull is a charming old double-fronted pub with parking nigh-on-impossible nearby. When you first walk in, it looks tiny ... but as you get round to the bar, you realise it goes much deeper and has a cute beer garden too. Food is a mixed bag. Their Black Bull pie is definitely worth a go (steak pie), very tasty 'tho their veggies are not always cooked to perfection. Scampi came out nice with a decent serving of chips and tartare sauce; the steak was a real let-down, very tough and you could have used it as a replacement sole for your shoe. We've never had time for puddings but they have some 'proper' puddings on the menu, like sticky toffee pud and custard. Wide selection of draught beers as you'd expect from a pub in this beautiful part of the country, they also serve a few different alcopops, wine and ciders. Prices aren't too unreasonable - average £6 for a main course and you do get a plateful of food, no skimping on portions. They also have pool tables and Sky TV's dotted throughout the bar and dining areas. Nice, relaxed and informal - and no-one looks at you strangely if they suss you're not a local. Staff are pleasant and it's an all-round nice pub for a quick drink and a bite to eat.
