About The Black Boy

There has been a public house on this spot, with its prime canalside location in Knowle, since 1793. Now under new ownership, The Black Boy has built a solid reputation for good food and hearty portions. It seats 120 inside and another 350 in the beer garden adjoining the Grand Union Canal. The menu is as substantial as the portions with 80 main courses on offer, primarily traditional pub fare but including a selection of Chinese and Indian food. Open all day, every day from noon until 10pm and the NEC is just 15 minutes away.

Great sunny day sat outside enjoying the beautiful surroundings. My choice today was a long cold pimms and a Caesar salad. No wait really 20 mins even though was busy. Great pub. They have definitely got it right .

I like the Black Boy, I have special needs, and every time I go the staff always look after me. I like to sit next to the window and look out onto the canal, I like canals. The food is very nice and the gravy on the chill con carne is especially good. The price of the food is very good. I am not allowed alcohol any more but the drinks are good value, they make me a big glass of lime squash for 25p Will be going back shortly I hope Please

Yanks here to visit family for 2nd time. Great meals on both occasions. Right on the canal. Must be great in the summer.

Excellent size portions, hearty well made meals with lots of options. Good prices and nice setting, especially in the summer. Advise visiting here more so than those chain restaurants for that little bit extra.

We have eaten at the Black Boy many times and have always come away feeling content. Great food and good service, ideal for families and couples. Pleasant walks near by.
