The White Bull, Oswaldtwistle in Hyndburn

Hello all...following a terrible heartbreaking thing happening to me lately and was so upset.... The management of the White Bull have become friends of mine and messaged me showing love and support . Today I decided to go up for a late breakfast knowing I was amongst lovely people and the best food around which was greatly received after what I'd been through. My son and his girlfriend joined me for breakfast. Just as I was thinking of leaving some friends came in so I stayed a little longer chatting away. I'm so very happy The White Bull is near where I live as I have the best time here... around the best people. Also to add to my fabulous day booked in for Christmas Day at their sister pub The Brittania Tap and Grill.....

Another brilliant meal by white bull oswaldtwistle, food was outstanding service impeccable charlie has tended to our every need topping up our drinks keeping the fire going and serving food thank you

Always such a brilliant meal out. Had a lovely table next to the open fire for Sunday dinner, and we’re always made to feel so welcome by Erika (and this time Ollie) who can’t do enough for you. Best restaurant in East Lancashire for me!

Absolutely love The White Bull. My husband and I went for a meal for my birthday. Always a great menu. The food was delicious. Highly recommend the steak. At the end of the meal the waitress brought me a birthday dessert. I took it home as I had already ordered a dessert . . . Both were amazing 😍 finished the meal with the best gingerbread cocktail 🍹 This is by far my favourite restaurant. Love the actual restaurant, it is really cosy. I have to say both the waiter and waitress were really lovely too! Thank you for a really lovely meal, great service and evening ❤️

Beautiful food, very friendly, attentive staff who give excellent service! The atmosphere is relaxed and cozy… especially when the fire is lit. It’s definitely our favourite local to wine and dine… never fails!!!

we wanted a quiet anniversary dinner. Lovely food, good wine and service we were well looked after - no rush and we will definitely be back xx

We’ve been waiting to visit this pub for some time, particularly given the great reviews. On arrival we were warmly welcomed and shown to our table with drinks being ordered soon after. The starters were excellent … potted shrimp and salmon and duck liver pate. Mains not so great sadly. The fish was meaty and well cooked, but incredibly bland; the chips had potential, but they were not freshly cooked, they tasted like they’d been warmed up, not at all crispy. I dislike minted peas (personal taste). I wish I’d gone for the pork now! The lamb was well cooked and tasted good as did the roasted garlic sauce, but the whole ensemble didn’t work well together, too much going on … again personal taste. Overall I don’t think it lived up to high expectation, but it wasn’t all bad. The staff were lovely and very efficient and the place itself seemed a lovely and we will give it another chance at some point.

Lovely lunch with amazing service! Great overall experience, staff very attentive, food incredibly made and beautifully presented. Went for a birthday and had a lovely surprise at the end. Will definitely be back. Thank you.

One of my favourite restaurants. Just been for a Sunday lunch and as always it was excellent. Had the scallops to start which were amazing followed by roast beef dinner which was fabulous. Hubby had the prawn pil pil followed by steak then the berry crumble and he really enjoyed them. Lovely staff and excellent service. Hopefully be back soon. Thanks guys

Very average food, been several times before and probably will give it a miss in the future. Staff very lapse and inattentive, had to ask for things over and over again. You could certainly tell owners weren’t on site. Very disappointed to say the least.

Regular customers and always had a fantastic experience. I contacted the White Bull, regarding a dear friends 50th birthday meal celebrations. Sean replied and was so accommodating in prepping and putting on an absolutely fantastic birthday taster menu dinner to celebrate a 50th birthday. It was everything my friend wanted and more. I cannot thank them enough and as always we will continue to enjoy eating at the white bull. Thank you for a fantastic evening and thank you for being so accommodating.

Lovely place, really nice food and varied menu. Good value.Cannot fault the friendly service. Would recommend highly.

The food was very good value for money. We both had 3 courses each, plus drinks and coffees. The Halibut was cooked just right and everything on my plate was very tasty, I will definitely be having it again. My husband said the steak and ale pie is one of the best he’s tasted. Very friendly staff (Callum) and the pub has a relaxed atmosphere.

Received vouchers as a Christmas present, just as well as we may not have discovered this gem. I'll not spoil the suprise as to how fantastic this place is, go and find out for yourselves.

Lovely pub food cooked by a chef. Everything well seasoned and very tasty. Menu is well designed offering plenty of choice. Good team working in the bar

Superb chef & front of house. Utterly refreshing to taste & behold. Family friendly, unpretentious & worth the visit. We went as a family with grandparents. Everyone ordered a different meal. The pie was the best I HAVE EVER had! I ordered the chicken, succulent & yummy veg & mash. The cheese pie looked like the sort of food I wished I’d never seen bc I’d want one at least twice a week. All presented beautifully. The service was excellent & the Hungarian lady in charge was brilliant at communicating. It was busy. I went to shake the chef - Sean’s hand. Anyone who cooks & presents food like that is outstanding.

Fantastic meal, can't decide which course was my favourite! Hope they do this again next year. We'll done to the fab chef and staff

We had lunch here today and it really good. This is a pub rather than a restaurant and menu is effectively a pub menu - fish and chips, pie and mash - but it’s all really good all done in a “homemade” style. There’s plenty of parking across the street at the church and nothing on the menu is expensive. I recommend a visit and while it was relatively quiet when we went I understand it does get busy so I think booking would be wise.

No enthusiasm,sat with food on floor which they were in no rush to clear up Food v good but not enough juice with the pork dish.

Five stars all round. Quality, delicious food, atmosphere and service. Always a great experience. Never disappoints

Excellent service, lovely staff, and food quick and tasty. I definitely recommend coming here! Thank you so much! Happy New year!

My son and I had the most amazing food and experience yet again at the White Bull, we were made so welcome as always even though it was very busy

Great food and hospitality. The quality of the food was excellent, the staff were were friendly informative and unobtrusive while serving our meal. Ollie was a star.

I arrived 15 minutes before my booking time and was met with wonderful helpful staff, we where quickly taken to our table where we looked over the fantastic and creative menu, after they took the food orders, there was about a ten minute wait for our stater. We all ordered off the Christmas menu and I am glad I did the parfait was fantastic, well sized portions and very well thought out flavours. after about 25 more minutes our main meal arrived I ordered the turkey it was one of the best pieces of turkey I have ever had, I usually shy away from turkey but I'm thankful that didn't. the portions of veg and roast potatoes was just right, there was the perfect amount of red wine gravy, to round up my fantastic dinning experience I ordered tiramisu which was the perfect blend of coffee and alcohol, all in all my experience at the white bull was outstanding and out ways any of the other local restaurants, I will definitely visit again.

We visited the White Bull last night and the entire experience was faultless. The staff are amazing, friendly and professional. Isaac is lovely. The food… again, amazing! We ate from the festive menu, duck liver parfait, sea bass and tiramisu, every course was delicious but the sea bass was the best I’ve ever had. Lovely cosy pub with open fires, lovely meal followed by a lovely cocktail! Can’t wait to return and try the rest of the menu 😊

I visited The White Bull for the first time this week, as it has been recommended by serval friends. We received a warm welcome by Callam and Erika who looked after us throughout our visit. The menu had a great variety including a festive menu...

Nice surroundings to to enjoy a meal. Food quality was excellent and well presented. Roast beef looked amazing, all three of my companions had that but I wasn't disappointed with my roast duck. Delicious and ample servings. Service was very friendly and professional.

Great food, lovely and relaxed atmosphere. Service was very good. Can't wait to visit again. We were very impressed.

We wanted to try a different place to eat and found this small, unassuming, award winning pub online and decided to give it a try. We were not disappointed. We were greeted within seconds of arrival by friendly staff, who showed us to our table...

10/10 excellent service excellent food lovely atmosphere will defo be returning too try the cheese pie next time thankyou best roast I've had in a long time

The food was Amazing, Service also,We Will be Returning, Lovely and warm with a roaring real fire on a cold November Night. Well done 👏

What a fantastic place! How very romantic and perfect! The food was exceptional! Service brilliant! We will be back!

4 of us visited yesterday as the pub had been highly recommended. We loved everything about the place, cosy interior, log fire burning & staff who were polite & efficient The Sunday lunch was honestly one of the best ever, beautifully presented on very hot...

Some of the food was good (steak pie, broccoli soup for example) and some not so good (sirloin steak was particularly disappointing) but non of it was worth the higher than average price being charged Add to this the fact that the décor and feel...

What a lovely little gem, food service and atmosphere brilliant. We will definitely be back. Price was good for the quality of the food, portion sizes excellent . Well done white bull for making the end of my birthday week special. Sorry didn't get a...

I felt very let down with the white Bull considering the amazing reviews . We had the sunday dinner and felt the whole experience was a bit of a let down. The place was busy ish but had a lot of eco so very noisy...

Excellent food, presentation and friendly professional service as usual, and an excellent Verdejo to boot.

A last minute drop in for dinner. We were greeted by a smiley host who took us to a table and took a drink order a brought a set of menus. The food arrived promptly and was fantastic. The homemade cheese pie was amazing. Service...

We have been visiting the White Bull most weeks, for the past 12 months due to a work project in Blackburn. We've had the specials, starters, mains, desserts, coffee, beer, wine, steak, chicken, fish..... You name it, we've tried it. Everything is 5*, staff, food,...

The most delicious pub or restaurant Roast Beef Sunday lunch we’ve eaten in a long time. Often the beef is nice but the vegetables not, or the other way round but every mouthful was delicious, from the generous portion of tender beef to the tasty...

Been meaning to visit for ages, so we made the effort for my son’s birthday Welcoming from start to finish… The most welcoming staff who all seem happy in their work… rare these days … As we were sat close to a speaker we were even asked if we would like it turned down… Couldn’t fault the food, service or price.. I now must go back to experience the Sunday roasts!

Beautiful food, very tasty would definitely return, first class service, very friendly and helpful staff Really enjoyed the whole experience, get yourself to the White Bull, you won’t be disappointed ❤️😊❤️

We were 10 minutes late arriving because of traffic holdups and oh boy were we punished for it. We got our drinks then we waited. We ordered. I am shellfish allergic and was told I couldn’t have chips because prawns were fried in the same pan as the chips. I settled for burger with mashed potato. The mash was obviously a scooped out baked potato. Only two staff waiting at tables and they were both very slow. So disappointed as this was supposedly to be a treat from my son and his partner. Never again.

Again a very nice intimate place for a spot of lunch and catch up with friends or family. A well stocked bar and the sandwiches were excellent all served chips and salad. The steak tea cake was scrumptious.

What a great place staff so nice very welcoming food excellent would definitely recommend and would go again 👍

Excellent food and ambiance. Great service from Beth, Viktoria and Callum. We travel 20 miles to The White Bull and it is definitely worth it

Visited due to staying nearby for our anniversary and by god what a find!!!! Really nice venue, nice music in background. Staff very friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. The food was absolutely unreal, I would recommend people to visit this place you would not...

Wonderful food. Had the Sunday lunch and really enjoyed it. Staff are so friendly and welcoming. Service is great.

Absolutley outstanding , the food is without doubt beautiful, the service amazing , the staff exemplary, and no doubt the cheese board hands down beats all. Thank you for yet another amazing meal. We love you guys.x

We went for Saturday lunch without a booking. Inside is nicely decorated in a modern traditional pub style (if that’s possible) and clean and spacious. All the staff were friendly and attentive to just the right level. And all the food was excellent. Great flavoured...

Disappointed had been looking forward to visiting due reviews. Staff and service were lovely and efficient. Limited choice of starters chose hummus which was served with Foccia bread very odd choice of bread for hummus and then three oil soaked dishes sun-dried Tom's, olives and...

This is the fifth time we’ve visited the White Bull since we moved to the area early May and as usual the food was flavoursome, high quality and amazing. The ‘special’ starter of black pudding and scallops was truly divine and worthy and of a...

This is a beautiful place to eat, drink and spend time in. The starters and mains were a delight and the service a joy, so I would highly recommend this fantastic place to anyone. Will definitely be back.

Excellent Birthday Meal , first time visit & def will be back , i had the 10oz Sirloin cooked on the bone a real plateful & excellent value for money , my wife had the seafood Ravioli off the specials which was also excellent

Find me a better place to eat! Unreal food and staff! Cracking pint of Guinness also. Great hospitality x
