At The Black Bull you can be sure that you’ll leave having enjoyed the finest seasonal and locally sourced produce, drawing inspiration from the unique blend of Nina Matsunaga's German and Japanese heritage. Here, there is a real dedication to quality which is evident in the team’s sourcing practices, primarily focusing on the abundant regions of Cumbria, Yorkshire, Lancashire, and Northumbria — what the restaurant believes is the crème de la crème of the UK's offerings.
The Black Bull gets their meat directly from the farm, ensuring that the entire animal contributes to the plate, guaranteeing unparalleled quality and also the least amount of waste. The restaurant’s seafood comes from the spectacular coasts on either side of the restaurant’s location, while the fruits and vegetables flourish in the fertile fields of Lancashire and Yorkshire, complemented by various other local products. This great quality produce serves as the foundation for each of the dishes, which bear a distinctive twist — a harmonious fusion of Nina's Japanese heritage and James's upbringing in the scenic Dales.
Immerse yourself in a culinary experience that beautifully intertwines diverse cultural influences with the best flavours the region has to offer. A heartfelt greeting awaits you at the Black Bull in Sedbergh, from a friendly team who know a thing or two about professionalism without the stuffiness, and are wholly committed to ensuring that your visit becomes a cherished and unforgettable experience.
