We were recommended to visit the Black Bull by a FB group RAT 's who said of the place and not your normal pub It has great beer but the food is excellent not the run of the mill pub grub and they are not wrong. We were well please not only with the normal menu but the specials board was well worth a look at. The food was freshly cooked using fresh produce and all served with a frendly smile. It may be worth giving them a call if you are going at the week-end to book a table to avoid disappointment . If using your Sat Nav follow the directions and don 't confuse the Pub on the corner called The Bull as it would be the wrong one. We will be visiting again in the not so distant future .
Visited here whilst staying with my daughter and her boyfriend who have recently moved to Launton. We were greeted with a smile and a hello from the chef and got ourselves seated. Really nice old pub, no blaring music or loud background noise. Between us we had steaks, scampi , gammon and lasagne. Food was fantastic. Tasty, hot and excellent quality.Just one point, a goodbye and a thank you from our hosts would have been nice, we’d spent a considerable amount and it would just have topped off the evening rather than them having their backs to us.
My friends and I came to this restaurant for lunch the other day, but we were informed that the previous customers had already left. The staff told us that they would not be serving any food until December. It seems we will have to wait until new management is in place and they have hired kitchen staff before we can form an opinion. We decided to go to the Bull down the road instead, where the food was just okay, nothing special, but the staff was very friendly.
Now this restaurant does seem to be a hidden gem, its tucked away down West End in Launton near Bicester and some people get it confused with the pub at the top of the road. I have eaten here so many times and generally I order the Wild Boar Chorizo Burger which is incredible. Excellent choice of Deserts and a great bar selection make this a real gem. Staff are always really nice.

My partner and I visited this restaurant one evening last week. We opted to dine indoors and ordered two pizzas - one vegetarian and the other with meat. Both pizzas were incredibly fresh and delicious. We definitely plan on returning the next time we are passing through.
We visited the Black Bull after a tank driving experience in Bicester. Such a lovely pub, cosy and friendly. The food was lovely can highly recommend the lasagne and the chips are fantastic!! Good service and plenty of parking. You really should go!
The lunch was enjoyable with very good service from friendly staff. The restaurant was very clean and had a comfortable atmosphere. I loved it, and there was parking available.
New management enjoyed the Sunday lunch and was pleased at the choices. Family friendly place and the surroundings are pleasant.

Disappointed they weren’t serving food on a Saturday evening. Went here on a recommendation . Went to The Bull instead.
Just had a really nice (good value) sunday lunch let me know if you agree? New landlady gave us a good welcome.
