The White Bull at Ribchester in Blackburn with Darwen

THE best pub in Ribchester! Fabulous freshly prepared home cooked food, great size portions and so delicious. All the staff are friendly and bend over backwards to make you feel welcome. The restaurant is clean and inviting. The main bar is comfortable, child and dog friendly as is the more “pub like” bar and you can eat in both. The “champagne lounge” is a beautiful multifunctional room. We love the White Bull, Julie and her team so much we decided to hold our small wedding reception there. Our expectations were surpassed by the attentiveness and attention to detail Julie, Dipak and Jeanette afforded us. The food was awesome and was served by the most amazing team of staff. We stayed in the hotel the night before and the night of the wedding, the rooms are comfortable and pristinely clean. Nothing was too much trouble. We loved every second of our family meal the night before the wedding, the day and the night of the wedding and even returned two nights later for another meal with friends.

Food was absolutely unbelievable, one of the best roast dinners I have ever had. Staff were extremely friendly also. Can’t fault this place.

15 of us for a Sunday tea. Surroundings very nice and staff couldn’t be more friendly and welcoming, nothing was too much trouble. We had a variety of meals and everyone commented on the quality and presentation of the food. What a little hidden gem 11/10 Will deffo return

Went on a Sunday and had a mix of children’s meals , Sunday roasts and a la carte menu . Everything was lovely , service good and friendly and fab surroundings . Wine reasonably priced. Chocolate brownie deserves a special mention ! Was quite quiet and we couldn’t work out why as we think it’s by far the best eatery in the village !

What a beautiful bar/restaurant. We were in the area attending an evening wedding and popped into The White Bull for a drink. We were so impressed with the friendly staff, delicious menu and cosy atmosphere that we just had to come back for dinner. The meal was exquisite, fresh prodice and so tasty. Staff were lovely and the history of the pub and Roman ruins were amazing! I would definitely come back! Thank you to everyone at The White Bull Ribchester. Everything was first class 🥰

We came for a drink and ended up with two drinks and three lots of starters! Great food, the best being the Salt and Pepper chips! Lovely environment with great outside seating area. Clean and professional.

What a find!! Beautiful village pub with lovely friendly staff. Julie and her team made us feel very welcome. Amazing food and great service. If you are in Ribchester, please call in, you won’t be disappointed. Thank you, we will be back to visit again soon.

My husband and I were attending a Birthday party in the area and The White Bull was recommended to us for accommodation. We booked an en-suite room for one night and we were very comfortable and slept well. I ate lunch in the restaurant and thoroughly enjoyed gluten-free fish and chips. It was a huge portion and the fish was very fresh. I would recommend it for a short stay but also for a nice meal.

Came for a meal, service was OK, no real issues, but food was mediocre, turns out the chef is not a chef? Why do they charge their prices for an un qualified person, but the lady with blonde hair wasn't interested

We had lunch here the day after a wedding with a huge party, and they did excellent to accommodate us. So friendly, and the food was absolutely outstanding. Highly recommend the gyros (so delicious) and fish and chips. Will definitely come back if the opportunity arises. Thank you so much!

On a short 3 day break, we came across this old, characterful and recently refurbished pub in Ribchester and enjoyed a drink and a chat to the locals. We enjoyed the warmth of the welcome and the overall ambience so much, we decided to book the restaurant for the following evening. Again we spent a very enjoyable time and highly recommend the food offering from the extensive but reasonably priced menu. Thank you particularly to Ginette and Julie for your friendliness and hospitality. We hope that we will one day return and visit again and have no hesitation in recommending this establishment to anyone visiting this beautiful part of the Ribble valley.

An excellent gem, hidden in Ribchester. The restaurant was busy, the service great, the food was really delicious. I would highly recommend this place. The only problem was an extremely rude customer, who was giving the staff a hard time, for having the audacity to serve them efficiently. He told the entire restaurant how he wanted a 15 minute break between starter and main course. The staff handled him with great courtesy.

The White Bull was recommended to us and they did not disappoint!! We chose here for a Friday lunch after a family walk with our dogs and they were so friendly and accommodating. We book prior and gave our food orders and from sitting down with our drinks, the food was out within 10 minutes. The food was delicious, all 11 of us really enjoyed it. We will definitely be returning!

Our daughter bought us a voucher for Xmas, so we visited the white bull for the first time today. It was quiet when we arrived which gave us time to talk to our lovely hostess Jeanette. We both ordered the pheasant & bacon pin wheel which came with piccalilli, really delicious. We followed up with the rabbit stew which was sensational, one of the best dishes we've had in years ( it was a tad too salty). Will spread the word to friends & family about this great eating place, with a few unique dishes we haven't come across before.

Very friendly welcome from all staff Great range of food on menu and very tasty Would definitely go again and recommend highly Thank you 🌻

Excellent all round. Great friendly service and 4 delicious starters and main meals. It was a Mother’s Day menu, the mushroom starter and lamb shank main I chose couldn’t be faulted. A favourite pub of mine on and off over the years and it’s definitely right back up there at the top again. Will be back soon. Thanks for a lovely meal.

I had the steak and blue cheese sandwich, it came with a side salad, coleslaw and hand cut crisp for £10. Great value and the setting and staff were wonderful. Can’t wait to come back for their famous Sunday Dinner

Went with my Mum & my brother. New manager, new menus, and such a new wine supplier they hadn’t got their wine list printed yet. Exceptionally good pub grub! We all had a pheasant & bacon pinwheel - like a roulade - in puff pastry as a starter which came with a sharp and crunchy piccalilli and hit the spot perfectly. I had a very good beef & ale pie, followed by Eton mess and my brother enjoyed his rabbit stew. A couple of glasses of Pendleside and a nice bottle of Malbec washed it all down. Friendly service. Full dining room. Good Saturday evening buzz. Loved it!

Food stunning, atmosphere great, and staff amazing - we were staying nearby and came for food first night - it was so good we came back the next night too - we were only here for two nights and after the food and service the first night, it was a no trainer to return. Pie, lamb shank, chicken gyros, sticky pork tenderloin and stroganoff all 100% recommended

Visited today with Mim and Dad and a couple of our friends. Waited quite a while before a drinks order were taken and menus provided. When the Sunday beef roasts arrived they were all very good. We then had the rolly polly pudding and STP also very nice too. We then had to ask for the bill 3 times. So overall a 4 out of 5 as I am afraid the service let us down a little but well done to the chef/s for the food. We will be back

My husband called at the White Bull last week with friends for a quick lunch whilst out walking and enjoyed it so much we visited today with my husband’s sister. We received a very warm welcome and the food was both delicious and generous portions. Every dish we had was superb. We sat in the bar area next to a lovely log fire. All the staff who served us were friendly and efficient. We enjoyed a leisurely lunch in a relaxed atmosphere. We will definitely return. I understand the White Bull is under new management and we wish them all the best for the future. Based on our experience they deserve to have a thriving business. Thankyou

The best meal we have all had for a long time. Very reasonably priced and they don't skimp on the food either, plenty to eat. The favourite starter was the seafood pancake which was amazing. Would be a good main course too with veg. Kids meals were good too and plenty of it. The staff were very friendly and couldn't do enough for us. I had to pre order as there were alot of us and mistakenly missed 3 mushroom starters. They made them us and were lovely. Everything about this place was very good and will definitely be back.

Such a lovely family run business. Since Julie has taken over there has been some amazing small changes. The staff look so smart and it’s such an inviting pub. The food was fresh and they were generous portions. Thank you to Julie & D for always welcoming us

We visit this pub every Christmas and it has always been lovely. Today we decided to try the food and were very glad we did. They not only accommodated 13 people at very short notice, but offered a warm and welcoming service to all. The food was delicious and had a great variety for the Christmas season. The desserts were also a hit, especially with the younger ones! We love this pub and would recommend to anyone seeking a reprieve in this gloomy winter weather, and we’re sure it’s just as wonderful in the summer. Thank you to everyone at the White Bull for a great meal and welcome!

Been today 15/12/23 for lunch with friends. Met up with new owner Julie and her lovely colleagues who made us very very welcome. Had the full Christmas lunch - turkey with all the trimmings, Christmas puddings etc all of which was excellent and at a good price. It’s not the first time we have been here but it’s now under the ownership of Julie and we certainly feel she will make this place even better. We have already booked to go again . The White Bull has rooms for overnight stay and the welcome for people I’m sure will be as good as it is for lunch visitors. . Ribchester is a lovely place for walking and a stay here with dinner after a walk would be a great treat.

A good Sunday lunch for me and in laws. Cauliflower cheese was the best I've ever had. Couldn't ask for better food or better service, it was very busy but the staff were friendly and there when we needed them. We did have to wait a while to get food but we were told this before we ordered as we hadn't booked a table. A credit to the new owners. Keep up the good work.

We had such a disappointing experience at the White Bull after reading great reviews. When we arrived the lady behind the bar was cleaning glasses. She didn’t acknowledge us even though she saw that we were there and then walked away from the bar. A simple hello and acknowledgement would’ve been fine, a hello or please bear with me would've been great! After we’d been stood for a while we were finally acknowledged and our table pointed out to us. We sat for a good 5-10 minutes before someone asked if we’d been offered a menu, we hadn’t! Apologies were made. The menu came and the food was nice, I had the cheese pie which was very tasty and my partner had the burger. All nicely presented and well made. When it came time to pay the bill my partner asked two separate staff members and we sat and waited for a further 10 minutes before he approached someone at the bar and was told to go round to the other side of the bar to pay. It didn’t seem particularly busy just an average Sunday afternoon so I’m not sure why the service was so slow or the customer service so poor but all in all, for us it wasn’t a great lunch out with regards to service and experience.

We both chose sea bass for our meal and it was superb! We were looked after very well by Grace. A lovely evening.

We are on holiday in the area and chose this pub/restaurant for our last night. From the moment we walked in, both members of staff on duty were really friendly. However, Grace was our waitress for the evening and we couldn't have asked for better. Thank you! We booked online and Grace had chosen the perfect table for us in the restaurant (you could also choose to eat in the bar area). It's a proper pub, and the restaurant is a good size and very nicely done. The menu had a great variety. Some of what you'd expect/hope for (fish & chips for me!😁) and others a nice surprise. Pictures of food can't always tell you how good the meals are, but ours were plentiful, delicious and piping hot!

The food was gorgeous and the plates were huge. service was fab too and a lovely place. Well definitely be going again

What a great night. The food was so delicious 😋 best beef strogonoff I have ever had. Great service, great atmosphere and happy smiling staff made the night for our friends birthday. Thank you Yvette & Kevin Browne

Visited twice whilst we were on holiday in the area …. I had a steak both times . Cooked exactly as requested, accompaniments were great and peppercorn sauce was seriously good 😋 brownie is to die for too ! Good varied menu and specials … Great service too - my little boy loved the bbq sauce on our first visit . Unfortunately they’d run out on our second visit but our waitress went back and found some for him which made his meal. All six of us thoroughly enjoyed both meals , thank you 😊

An impromptu lunch in Ribchester - wanted a proper meal for lunch, and we were not disappointed. Lots of choice on the menu, and when it came the food was cooked to perfection (and was generous in size of portion). Would readily recommend to anyone!

Nice friendly pub, great atmosphere. Probably one step up from pub grub, Good food but overpriced £17 for cheese and onion pie with chips is over the top. Nice cask beers.

Just had an Asian fusion dinner at the white bull. Amazing tastes of India and Asia all on one plate. This Asian fusion menu is every Wednesday and changes weekly. It was delicious

Called in for lunch a wet Saturday and we’re warmly welcomed. What an amazing friendly team. A really cosy pub, with a welcoming atmosphere. Local beers on tap great selection of spirits, the staff know what they are talking about. The food is local sourced and caters for every taste and the portions are good too. You won’t leave hungry. As we were staying in Ribchester we came back for Sunday lunch and we’re not disappointed either. What a fabulous pub.

Amazing place. Every single member of staff was friendly and welcoming, the pub is very oldy worldy and the atmosphere is one that I would return time and time to experience.Food was excellent (pie day Wednesday) but what made this so special for us is that the sign "dogs and muddy boots welcome" isn't just a statement- my dog was made to feel really welcome with fuss, treats and waterIf youre in the area, especially if exploring with dogs - do not miss this place

From start to finish. A great menu. Great service. Friendly staff.We had steak and salad, beautifully cooked and balanced according to requirements.Haddock and chips. With a lovely batter. Well cooked chips. No silly ramekins packed with peas. A bloody great ramekin filled with great tartare sauce. Just lovely. Thank you all.

We ate here over the weekend, the staff were exceptional, friendly, informative and helpful.I would have given it 5 star if the wine was a bit more reasonably priced. £8.49 for a large Chardonnay I think is expensive. The food was excellent, tasty and reasonably priced. Would I return?100% YES Keep up the good work, the barman is an excellent ambassador for your business

We were staying with family in Ribchester. Had dinner on Saturday night and had delicious food. Liked it so much we came back the next day for Sunday lunch! Staff were very helpful and friendly.

Had many a cracking Sunday lunch here in the last few months since Lockdown ended. The staff are extremely professional and Tom, Rachel and Chris deserve special mention - all the staff are excellently trained. Love the burgers and the Whale and chips. Plenty of other options available. Best to book in advance but are happy with walk ins.

This was our 5th visit to the White Bull in the last 2 years and it was as good as every other time, service on point, I mean if you run a pub you should actually visit here just to see how it should be done, the staff are amazing, they actually look like they love working here and it shows. Food was once again amazing, consistent and at a very high level. Can’t wait for our next visit, we’ll done to Chris, family and team, how every pub should be!

I can’t say enough about the service we received from this place. All the staff couldn’t do enough for us. We had a late booking for 16 as it emerged that our original booking wasn’t as dog friendly as they initially said they were. The pub accommodated 16 of us plus 4 dogs and we had our own private area. The food was spot on for lunch, the desserts were great but the service was fantastic. They also accommodated one of the children’s birthdays. Great place highly recommended.

We attended her for sunday lunch we were a large party of 11 they had kindly reserved a large area for us all to be seated together. The menu is amazing something for all taste buds we settled for the Sunday lunch and we were not disappointed. The owner Chris served us and full of knowledge, friendly and reprsents his business fantastcally. This is a MUST visit for anyone visiting the area as i guarantee you will return again. We enjoyed it so much that we will be staying here next time as they have 3 rooms available.

We visited The White Bull yesterday. The staff were really friendly and helpful and the atmosphere was great. One of the best things was the lovely landlord, he has a great sense of humour and was just the right side of friendly without being intrusive. The meal was absolutely delicious, better than the usual pub grub! Definitely recommend and will make a return visit!

Opened up early in a down pour for us - lovely friendly service, great beer and nice food we grabbed for the kids. Lovely venue.

Came on an early dinner booking, we had a friendly welcome and straight to the table. All waiting staff were excellent, read the room well and were efficient. Manager was visible and involved. Happy staff, excellent service and superb food. Soup, pate, beef pie, Thai chicken, cheesecake and Eton mess. Place was bustling when we left. Compliments to the chef and all the team. Definitely will be back.

Just stayed for a lovely 2 day break. Staff fantastic an very friendly. Food excellent all round great service. Stayed in the one of the 3 rooms they have an couldn’t fault anything. Well worth a visit

We were made to feel so welcome, all Covid precautions in place, the service was second to none, happy, pleasant staff and the food was amazing, huge portions and just gorgeous. Thank you from the females from Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

We visited twice over the weekend and the service and food was second to none !Portion sizes are fabulous ( you won't be hungry ) and the food is delicious . The staff are so friendly and nothing is too much trouble .We were a lively hen party and sat outside in the beer garden on Saturday afternoon in the gorgeous sunshine .We then visited again on Sunday for a fabulous Roast and sat inside .Highly recommended. We hope to be back next year

We visited today and had an excellent lunch which was great value for money. The real ale was well kept and the wine was nice too. The service was particularly good with extremely friendly hosts. We will definitely visit again soon.

We visited the restaurant for an evening meal while staying in ribchester with friends for a first night away from home in 18 months. This place was fantastic. social distancing was done well, the staff and landlord were very friendly and could not do enough for you. I had the seafood pancake starter which was very good huge portion and loads of sauce could not fault it. We all had steaks for main course, Ribeye steak me was cooked perfectly. All in all highly recommend this will not be our last visit to this little gem

Out of the four of us three opted for the spicy chicken gyros. For the price £8.95 we got a huge wrap with a miserly amount of chicken in it. This was perhaps a god send as none of us enjoyed it. The chicken was grisly and fatty. The salad was small with no dressing and the added portion of chips came after I had finished my meal.Nice friendly staff, nice pub but food & service was not good.Would go back for a drink but not to eat.

The white bull hosted my brother’s wedding recently, and everything was quite literally perfect. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, but also professional and hard working. Everything was extremely organised and efficient, but they also helped create a friendly, warm atmosphere.The reception and food were fantastic. I would describe the food as modern British; familiar favourites, done very well, with some of their own personal touches. Also, they source their produce from local suppliers, and in the Ribble Valley there are is some wonderful, locally sourced produce to be found.For drinks, they have a great selection of beers, ranging from contemporary craft beers to some great traditional cask ales, lagers and ciders. They’ve got a great gin selection, bespoke cocktails and the staff are very knowledgeable and more than happy to help you out.Overall, I really don’t think you’ll be disappointed. If you’re just looking for a pint of good ale in good company, celebrating with family or looking for great food, you can’t go wrong.

We visit Ribchester regularly for walks with the family & dog. Passed the White Bull many of times and always said we need to pay a visit. Our visit today did not disappoint, the staff are so friendly and welcoming, the beer garden at the back was great, even though the weather was patchy it was very well accommodated to any unpredictable weather! Food, absolutely awesome. My roast beef was beautiful, husband's chicken burger was brilliant (best he's ever had) and the kids enjoyed their meals. We will be returning in the future. Thank you.

We had a wonderful lunch, couldn't fault the food or service! Even though we were outside (obviously according to the rules) it didn't take away from the experience. Chris and Rachel were amazing. Thankyou for a great afternoon!

Not one staff member whore a mask tonight. What the heck is going on? Who cares what the food is like?
