    We had my sons christening here. We provided the decorations in which I dropped of the day before and the locker manager set it all up for me so once the church service was done we walked in and oh my she did a fab job!! It looked so beautiful the food layout was delicious so much variety the atmosphere where was. It was lovely that it was sectioned off from the main bit so we wasn’t bothering the locals to much. The bar staff where quick to serve and super friendly. The venue hire is FREE !!! We had to pay £50 deposit to secure the date and paid the rest on the day which was for the food per head which was around £9.50, I would definitely recommend this lovely little pub for any venue hire, There is a bit outside for children to play in unfortunately the slide had been broken so wasn’t much for the children to do apart from Climb up and down the climbing frame but this will soon be fixed. We had the best time so thank you so much. To you and your wonderful friendly team.

    Popped in the Black Bull Pub on for a drink and received warm welcome from the young lady, on my own so we had a little chat, which was nice. The front bar look like a sports bar with large TV showing sports and a pool table. Could do with a little make over. Outside the is a garden full of seating and a play area for the children. Dogs welcome. Have speaker in the garden playing music, while I was there nice selection. They have events on, open mic, clairvoyant, etc There is a car park to the right but bring your small car, little on the small side. Service a couple of real ales, the one I choose, sorry forgot which was £4.90 a pint.

    What a brilliant venue for a function! This past weekend we hired the function area of the pub for a surprise baby shower for my sister and we cannot fault the pub in the slightest!! They went above and beyond in decorating the area to look incredible! The food was a buffet and they catered amazingly for the vegan and gluten free attendees which was definitely appreciated! The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly throughout and made us feel extremely welcomed there! The pub was clean, and the food was fresh and perfect for what we asked for! Literally cannot fault the Black bull pub at all! Perfect venue for any function!

    A massive thank you to Black Bull Chelmsford for helping us celebrate our mum and dad’s 50th wedding anniversary to say they were surprised was an understatement. Thank you to Rachel and staff for helping setting up last min and making the place look amazing and to my sis (who is one of the staff too) for the cake, buffet, decorations and being an all round superstar ⭐️ everything was way above what we ever expected. Awesome night thank you again x
