What people say, in short
Butter chicken is the clearest recurring reason to choose Black Pepper in Astley Hall. Several diners also describe it as a long-standing favourite, recalling family dinners and live music in earlier years rather than promising music now. One diner says the portions help justify the higher cost. Another commenter praises the dal makhani, while a separate recommendation cautions that the setting is not especially fancy.
