The Black Bull, Huntingdon

The entrance of the Black Bull opens into a laminate floored seating area that is faced by a serving counter that supports Fosters alongside premium and mainstream craft keg, as well as three hand pumps, two of which were on drawing Black Sheep’s Best and Fuller’s Red Fox. In this bar area, that was being manned by the friendly governor, a muted television was airing Sky Sports while some low background music played. At the right-hand side of the counter some steps descend into a herringbone floored seating area to the right rear where there’s an impressive inglenook that includes a little window, they don’t make things like that anymore. Nearly all the tables were reserved from 19:00 for the weekly Tuesday evening quiz that kicks off an hour later. The pub was starting to fill up, so after a quick nose around where I noted another seating area, with a dartboard, to the far right, I decided to slosh down the decent pint of Fullers before making my way to the next pub.
