Just what one expects from a classic English pub. And I think I might have possibly had the most amazing cut of venison I've ever had here and the wine selection made the meal perfection. Our group ordered several main dishes - cod, steak & ale pie, and lamb shoulder. We also ordered way too many starters good grief, but I think the terrine was an absolute dream so it was worth it. Basically you can't go wrong here. Ask for the waiter's suggestion if you're unsure what to order. I'd also suggest coming with a big party since there's a lot of room.

Black Sheep was the cask beer, well kept and served by friendly bar staff. A glance at the locally inspired menu convinced me that we'll back soon to try the food. Starters include Bury black pudding & Chorizo with poached egg, hollandaise sauce and rocket and chorizo salad; Goosnargh Chicken Liver and Port Pate; and Morecambe Bay shrimps. Mains include 28 day hung Rib Eye steak, Lancashire Hotpot and Home made Beef and Guinness pie. Quiz night on Thursdays and live music on Fridays. Years ago this pub was truly awful but a complete refurbishment and new ownership a couple of years ago (ish) has completely transformed it. Lucky Elswick!

We were keen on ordering something traditional. I got the rag pudding and my friend ordered a steak pie. The food was delicious. I would have preferred that they not cover my fries in gravy, but it was still really good. We sat at the bar, and within a few minutes of opening the bar was crowded with the locals on their lunch hour. We got our first taste of a traditional bitter, and enjoyed it with our meals. Again, the bartender and staff were delightful, and we were happy with our brief stop there.

As soon as I made the bar man aware I was homosexuel, he started making inappropriate comments, one of the comments was along the lines of "you aren't my type" I immediately sat away from the bat as I started feeling like he was being difficult. The bar Man stated that I was "not his type" even though I hadn't mentioned anything like this, the security then appeared at my table telling me I had to leave, I had whiteness and there is also cctv to look into this, obviously I was upset as I feel I've been targeted. I asked for the bar staff name but was reserved, I then asked for the security name and was told "mike", I do not understand why I was removed I had caused no issue except telling the bar man he was not my type. The security approached me and then I told him I would leave immediately, when I asked him why he could not explain. There is no reason I can see that I was removed from.the bar, apart from the bar barmans own issues and any cctv or recordings from the night would prove it, I have no idea why I was kicked out and intend to complain on every level untill I have been addressed properly.

The dancers are polite and friendly yet pretty girls approaching ME (in underwear) rather than vice versa will take a while to get used to! :-D Though of course it's in their interests to. ;-) The piped music was a little intrusive and made the chit chat with dancers harder to make out. Thankfully it was peaceful in the enclosed box booths downstairs with a bead curtain, if a little dark to see where I was! The brunette dancer, C, named after an upmarket district in London treated me warmly, politely and smelled all girly lovely and snuggly - rather intoxicating to the senses :) It was £65. The door charge was £5. It may have been 30-mins to 45mins but the dance felt like an hour. I liked that she's a keen horsewoman like myself so we had something to talk about, that's if I managed to being so distracted by her gyrations :-) The staff were super and even were kind enough to accommodate my error in invoicing for dances - it is cash only. I wanted to upgrade for another, longer dance to £200. I think it's a private room with more plush furnishings and maybe they take more clothes off I don't know. However I had to reluctantly be on my way as I was getting slightly fatigued.
