A former multiroomed pub now made into one larger room, but quite tastefully done with some retention of original features, or something that looks like it might be, and a feeling of two or three distinct areas. There's a solid fuel stove, racing on TV and a pleasant atmosphere that is only slightly spoilt by a smell of stale cigarette smoke, which I can only assume was coming from the clothing of some lads who were celebrating the end of their working week at the next table, still in the clothes they'd worked in. There are three hand pumps on the bar (see photo); I had the Bradfield Steel Cow, which was in good condition but not a terribly tasty beer, it has to be said.

The Black Boy is a decent looking three storey pub that is just off the middle of Retford.
When i first went in this pub it had a few different rooms inside and the pub was a Wards tied house with two real ales on the bar,i had a drink of Wards bitter which was a very nice drink,the other beer was Wards mild.
I dont know what beers this pub now has on the bar.
