The Black Bull Inn & Restaurant is an award-winning, independently owned gastro pub in the heart of the Ribble Valley, proudly serving the community since 1555. While our history gives us classic countryside charm, what we offer is anything but ordinary. Think city-style plates with local soul, cocktails that spark conversation, and a welcoming atmosphere that feels like home – perfect for solo diners, families, and groups alike.

Our seasonal menu blends pub classics with chef specials, all crafted from the finest locally sourced ingredients, and is complemented by artisan wines, craft beers, and premium spirits. We’re dog-friendly, with a beautiful outdoor space and plenty of parking. A favourite stop for walkers, we’re perfectly placed on one of the Ribble Valley’s 15 recommended trails.

But The Black Bull is more than a great pub – it’s a venue of choice for weddings, celebrations, and all kinds of special occasions. With our stunning barn, versatile spaces, and stretch tent for alfresco drinks, we can host events of any size against the breathtaking Ribble Valley backdrop. Our award-winning team takes care of every detail, ensuring every occasion is effortless, memorable, and uniquely yours – and we can’t wait to introduce you to the people who make it all happen.
