Best Bar None Platinum award winning pub with lounge bar serving meals, public bar, where dogs are welcome, a function room for any event and a lovely beer garden. Established in the small village of Mid Calder in 1747, this pub is one of the busiest meeting places in the area. Black Bull Inn is at the heart of the community, and enjoys a prime location, sitting snugly in the shadow of its new town neighbour, Livingston, close to nearby rail links. Uphall & Livingston South Stations are the nearest railway stations with access to and from Glasgow and Edinburgh. Regular public transport is available in and out of Edinburgh as well as locally around the Calders and Livingston. Lothian Bus operate the X27 & X28 services, with First Bus also running the 23 service, all of which go between Edinburgh and Bathgate stopping in Mid Calder.

Reviews
Sunday at the Black Bull Inn

9 of us were seated together at the Black Bull inn at the last minute on a Sunday. Food and service was excellent as was the TL. Very reasonable prices and we couldn’t fault the place.
