The Black Bull Hotel, Coniston

We have just been back to Coniston after a short break and how things have changed at the Blackbull !!!! We used to eat regularly there but never again ! My wife and I ordered half roast chicken one with chips, peas and gravy and the other with chips and salad, fairly straight forward I would have thought...what we got was chicken and chips with three lots of salad chips peas and gravy...not a great combo ! When we complained that the order was obviously wrong the waitress blamed us for ordering wrongly...they did give us our money back but it was the smallest piece of chicken on a very small oval plate more like a Childs portion but with a �10 price tag each !!!!! RUBBISH !!! Have had better in our local Morrisons for less than half that price ! Beer was very good though but again way over priced at above �3.00 a pint !!! We have a local real ale pub near us at home in Sheffield The Nags Head at Bradfield where all ales are �1.80 a pint and just as good if not better !!! THINK ON BLACKBULL !!!!
