A local public house is looking to ring the changes with plans to change the use of the premises to create an eatery.

Bow Hospitality lodged an application with Falkirk Council on July 24, looking to change the use of the Black Bull Inn, in Main Street, Polmont.

The company wants to turn the public house into a “class 3 food and drink” establishment.

Class 3 in Scottish planning law defines the use of a building or land for the sale of food and drink for consumption on the premises and include cafes and coffee shops, restaurants and dining rooms and snack bars and tearooms.

According to the Bow Hospitality website the Black Bull is currently a “go-to for hearty pub food” which already offers meals, including a “Sunday roast”.

The site states: “The Black Bull is more than just a local — it’s a gathering place for the whole community.”

Earlier this year the former Black Bull restaurant was transformed into Salentinos Italian.
