I often visit the Black Bull, the staff are extremely friendly especially Hayley and Katie. The food is always perfect, service is spot on. They offer real ale at very reasonable prices. No other pub in Duns comes close to competing with the high quality service, ingredients and atmosphere. Highly recommended - a hidden gem.

The blonde barmaid was such good banter I enjoyed my pints at the bar and would definitely return. Such a charming you g lady. Such a friendly atmosphere, not a fan of other pubs in duns they are rather dull and depressing in my opinion.

We had a family lunch in this quaint hostelry food was good Plenty on the plate Value for money. We had no complaints. Service was slow but the food was hot and it was home cooking. We would go back for another lunch. We will try dinner. I have heard good reports from the locals

Well, it had good reviews, so in we went for lunch. For the best part of £15 each we had one course apiece. Mine - lamb with potato and vegetables. Lamb undercooked, no flavour, lumpy gravy, lumpy mash, no sauces offered, small plate, nervous characterless lad who was doubling up as waiter and barman. In the bar itself, children's cartoon...

Went in a party of four. 3 courses all round and a couple of drinks for just over £100. Food was good ( I had the chicken breast stuffed with haggis ), service was spot on and the music was at what I would class an appropriate level for this type of eaterie. No complaints would definately consider going back... More

Our last stay was in 2010 but the date list on this web site doesn't go that far back. This is only because the venue has been fully booked when we have wanted to stay since then. We have stayed at the Black Bull in Duns many times and have always enjoyed the visit. This is a typical Scottish pub... More
