Black Dog Inn

This is the local CAMRA pub of the year for ²⁰⁰⁹⁄₁₀ so no surprise that there are at least six real ales on sale as well as draught cider. You could spend a pleasant evening here just working your way across the pumps.
This is a popular local country pub, for although its address is Dalton it is actually on the road from Dalton to Ireleth and near the Wild Animal Park. The interior has exposed beams, a bar in the corner and a split level room. Also seating outside, nice place to while away the time on a sunny day.
The pub is popular with both eaters and drinkers. There is an extensive menu and the food is well cooked and good pub grub. The only minus point is if you are a veggie there seems to be only one choice on the menu but on the plus side it wasn’t the usual boring choice but a beautifully cooked baked aubergine with crumble and sweet potatoes, but I couldn’t understand why it was a pound dearer than the beer battered fish, chips and mushy peas.
