Blackbull, Camposol - The stakes were high but did the steaks smash it?

So, I've been dying to try out the steak night at The Blackbull, Camposol B and recently I finally got round to it...

Steak is probably one of the most hit and miss meats here in Spain and often I avoid ordering it in restaurants for fear of disappointment. Booking in for steak night at the Blackbull however, was one of the best decisions ever!

A group of us booked in, ordered almost the entire menu between us and had a fabulous evening!

For starters we ordered paté and garlic mushrooms. All was nicely presented, tasty and the fact extra warm toast was bought to the table for the paté (without having to ask) was just one example of their great customer service.  At 3€ per starter the value was incredible.

When it came to ordering our main courses, for a moment we feared we'd hit a snag.  As the words 'we've run out of fillets' rang out, a number of faces around the table dropped but our waitress picked up on the disappointment immediately. She went back to the kitchen and came back to tell us someone had gone out to get us some.  They had arranged to borrow the steaks from another local bar for us (a great example of businesses supporting one another on Camposol) and our good cheer was soon restored - at the end of the day, these things happen from time to time but to deal with the situation so promptly and ensure all members of our party were happy was yet another example of going that extra mile for their customers.

When our main courses arrived there was a moment of silence, quite a rarity when us lot get together but everyone was lost for words at the presentation of our food and the portion sizes! Everyone promptly took their phones out and started taking snaps of their plates to share with friends.

With a selection of fillets, rump, surf and turf and a burger sampled, there was not a single criticism exchanged on our table. The meals were severed with home made chips or jacket potato, onion rings, mushrooms, tomato and salad and a choice of sauce. Ranging in price from 12.95€ to 16€ we were a table of very full, very happy customers.

Once our plates were cleared away the barman bought us over a round of complimentary shots to apologies for the wait, whilst they ran out and got us the fillet steaks - a wait that none of us had considered unreasonable but we certainly appreciated the gesture. 

All in all, I honestly don't think I could find one fault with our evening. The service was spot on, the value incredible and the food of a standard that surpassed our expectations.

Michelle and Aaron work exceptionally hard, market their business well, have a fab team and bend over backwards for their customers. 

Would we visit again? Please can I book a table for next week Michelle McKenzie!
