The Black Bull

13/09/2026

September has arrived, the evenings are drawing in, the air is getting cooler and we’re starting to look for those cosy plans that make going out in the cold feel worth it.

A table for two, or four, or more…

Our 7-course tasting menu at Tsuchi is made for evenings like these.

Whether it’s a date night, a catch-up or simply an excuse to do something a little special on a September evening, we’ll see you at the table.
