WhiteBull At Alston in Ribble Valley

They advertised a40% reduction on food in November but the place has been closed for weeks now!!! with no explanation when you ring??? Disgraceful. Robert Fox.

There was no alcohol, no whisky, freezing cold, food for buffet couldn't have cost more than 25 quid,. Chicken nuggets for a funeral? No draft beer. The landlady was lovely, but I wouldn't recommend holding a wake there, although it was like a morgue!!!

Lovely pub, great food and friendly staff. Stopped off here on way to my daughters in Preston after a break away in Clitheroe. Look forward to a return visit soon. Thankyou ladies x

Great venue for live entertainment lovely staff and great food

Had a lovely time. Our waitress and bar tender Tory was amazing and we had a lovely time.

We popped in with our baby and daughter for lunch today and we were so glad we did. My daughter and I had the fish and chips which were so fresh and tasty, and my husband had the white bull burger with blacksticks blue which was delicious (and my baby enjoyed some chipolatas! ). The staff were very friendly and helpful. They immediately brought some colouring things for my daughter which kept her entertained whilst she waited for her food, along with the little fish tank that she was obsessed with. We will definitely be returning!

My hubby and I went there on Sunday 10th September for my birthday lunch and was pleasantly surprised. I had a lovely roast beef dinner with all the trimmings and my hubby had the roast chicken. The meat was very tender, vegies lovely and crunchy and the service was great and people very friendly! We'll definitely be back there for Sunday roast again.

Lovely pub with a very good menu. The food is excellent and the staff are very nice too

We held a private function but used the bar Staff were amazing

1st Visit and found a nice countryside pup and restaurant with good food (was at a function buffet) and friendly staff.

Closure of the M6 sent us out of our way on a long trip. We were tired and hungry and stopped at this place as we drove past. The staff are excellent and friendly and the food we ordered was delicious, honest pub grub of high quality. We had a lovely Sunday dinner each. The beef was very good indeed and the Yorkshire puddings were the best I've had in a long while. Next time I'll come here on purpose!

Went for evening meal on Sunday. Really nice choices on menu. I opted for the burger, which was really nice. My wife chose the small fish and chips, which was superb. For dessert one apple crumble (probably the best I've had) and sticky toffee pudding for my wife, which was amazing as well. Service was really good. We'll certainly go back based on this experience and would recommend to others.

I had the White Bull burger, which is really nice, and I like the fact that the ingredients are locally sourced. There is an outdoor area to have your drink in the sun. Friendly staff and a nice chilled atmosphere 👌

Only dropped in for a drink, no food, but what a great idea providing sun cream at the outdoor tables for customers. What a great idea.

Great place to go, very friendly staff, down to earth, food is beautiful and we'll presented. I went on Sunday lunch time with my sister and brother-in-law. Thankyou to all the very helpful staff and the Manageress. Would recommend the meals, drinks and great to have a chat. Chris Jackson.

A burger and a dessert turned into a lovely meal and 3 desserts to share between the two of us! A lovely open fire (there's 3 of them!) comfy sofa, made it difficult to get up and leave. Definitely a pub to revisit.

Had a lovely Sunday roast cooked to perfection they even did my partner a side dish that wasn't on the menu, service was great also, thank you very much we will definitely be back

Just had Sunday lunch, had the 2 course menu , excellent value for money at 19.99, food was hot, tasty and top quality, asked for beef as pink as possible and it certainly was, I asked if they could do cauliflower cheese as I just fancied it, chef was more than happy to do it. Staff so friendly and Gabby was such a good host. Definitely be back again as it’s on our door step.

We went for breakfast this morning to the White Bull and it was really lovely. The food was great quality and served piping hot. Couldn't do enough for you, we'll definitely be back. Thank you 👍

This is a lovely, old world style pub, serving very good pub food. Very friendly and helpful staff and a roaring log fire....what more could you ask for.

Booked this pub for an after funeral gathering. Staff were so helpful and provided excellent food.

Really nice country pub the food we had was lovely ,a decent menu and not over priced ,brilliant friendly staff that make you feel very welcome ,we will call again ,thank you .

Having viewed the menu online we decided to go and try it , unfortunately the menu online is no longer available, there was not alot of choice ( 4 mains ) , so we ended up leaving , if and when the menu is up n running again we will try again, menu is fine for a lunch or basic everyday tea .

Nice place to eat ,friendly service, good food , the ribs I had Friday lunchtime were excellent, keep up the good work.

Stopped off on way to Preston Hotel stay. Lunch time, raining and 3 hour drive. Nice welcome good lunch menue and nice beer. Good find would visit again

Food was very good and there was plenty of it

The food was really tasty and a better quality than a lot of other pubs I've visited. Inexplicably quiet on a Friday evening considering how good it was. If you've got a big appetite, get a starter or a couple of other bits as well. Very good!

Good food and atmosphere. Staff friendly and helpful

Visited twice this weekend once Friday and no chef working so they were only doing sandwiches which were really nice to be fair . And Saturday lunch time I had chicken burger ( which was a whole breast ) and my husband the Katsu chicken . Lovely salads chips and rice . I mine was tasty but bit too big for me in the burger bun husband loved his great onion rings . It was nice to sit outside with the puppy his first visit to a beer garden . Very friendly service . Interior your typical old fashioned pub . It’s on our dons door step and a good dog friendly place with a good menu .

Friendly and welcoming landlady and staff, delicious food and great prices 5 star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We were a group of six who thoroughly enjoyed our meal. We all had 3 courses which were all excellent. Friendly staff and reasonably priced.

Brilliant meal and different items on offer we had 3 courses and could not fault anything. Cheery waitresses and happy to help.

Lovely, clean and cosy pub, very friendly landlady and delicious food! Lots of choice for celiacs too, plenty of GF options available. Would definitely recommend!

Sharing platter for 2 that could of fed 4. Lovley staff and great meal. Will be back again soon.

Friendly staff and beautiful food

Went to eat there on Friday. Amazing quality and taste of food. 1st class service with outstanding staff. We are going back again next week. It was a great experience 🙂

Good food. Little choice of beer.

Nice friendly atmosphere family owned nice food at reasonable prices plenty of parking

Friendly staff, pleasant surroundings. No cask beer though.

Warm and cosy. The sandwich speaks for itself 😔

Disappointed. Was stone cold when we entered and had to ask for fire to be lit . Have had better service in the past

Such a nice, friendly, traditional pub and restaurant, serving great beers and amazing food. The staff are so friendly and couldn't do enough for you.

On entering the pub we were welcomed and shown to our table. The service was excellent and the staff were very obliging. The food was delicious and hot, although we did chance the menu a bit, chips instead of potato cake etc. The wine was very reasonable £14/15 per bottle. I would certainly return before it gets too busy.

Would definitely not recommend this pub. My partner only got half way through the starter when had to go to the toilet to be sick due to it being re-heated chicken. The waitress was very rude about the situation and looked down her nose at us. She still had the cheek to charge us for my partners starter. If I could give this place, no stars I would!!!!

Nice and friendly staff food good

Lively friendly pub, excellent standards, good food

Just had a meal here today and it was disgusting. The only thing that was decent was the warm plates the putrid food was served on.

Lovely outdoor space. Friendly staff. A great place to watch the world go by.

Great experience, new owner are really polite. Food was excellent and very tasty. We will definitely go back.

Excellent Place..Lovely Beer Garden & Staff Friendly , Food Fantastic.

Will be a cracking pub when it reopens...

Turned up and its closed on a Sunday

Popped in at last minute for lunch even though they were very busy with a funeral. we were acomadated we had fish and chip they were the best I've ever tasted thankyou

Very good buffet for a funeral reception

Went for first time valentines day. Lovely meal and great service.

Not a good experience at all. It was meant to be a well organised public house who could handle a family members sad passing but very sadly was very badly let down with the buffet and how cold it was inside the pub. At least 2 wood burning fires and neither lit!!! No gas in the kitchen for the hot side of the buffet and no sandwiches!!! Who doesn't make sandwiches for a buffet? They had changed almost the entire menu without any notice at all. Disappointed but we still gave him a good send off. 🍻🍻🍻

lovely quaint cosy log fire pub..great food ..lovely staff..best to book

When we first walked into this pub there was a man in the kitchen with no shirt on who was clearly seen by everyone and he also saw us looking at him, that instantly puts us off ordering food, a shirtless chef is an absolute no in a kitchen ...watch out for sweaty chest hair in your meal 😫😫 The beer was disgraceful and expensive, I dont think the lines get cleaned very often and all 3 of the largers I tried was flat and had a nasty smell, this place needs to be avoided , if your a regular customer then all I can say is your easily pleased and dont have a clue what beer should taste like.. I will never return and certainly do not recommend this pub to anyone👎👎👎

Would not recommend this pub to anyone beer is absolutely disgusting for somewhere that’s 4 pound for a pint nearly I’d expect a very good pint. not one that stinks and flat and also taste disgusting and as for the food they better find a chef who can actually cook and also wear a t shirt working disgusting.

Xmas day was a disaster. But think it was down to boiler not working so no hot water or heating. Food was very poor. If only they had told us when we got there . Had to give us and others a refund. Staff were good but very embarrassed

Popped into this little gem, we were welcomed by lovely staff, the food was great and the dessert was on point and even had a game of pool witch was good👌

Nice quiet and friendly place for a drink I had the fish and chips and they were very tasty

Attended a funeral lunch food was nearly 1 hour late , coffee lukewarm and very weak, tea stewed and warm not hot

It has a pungent smell, didn't stay long

Lovely food and excellent service.

The starter was ridiculously small, I would of been better getting a pack of crisp from behind the bar. Come to the mains they had very little choice due to running out of most things. We waited 45 minutes from starter to mains which I was hoping would of been worth the wait. Unfortunately it wasn’t the case as the pie was cold in the middle where they clearly just microved a slice. The chips was like eating pork scratchings as they was rock hard and not edible. I would definitely recommend people to stay away and go elsewhere.

Great food..bit pricey. The atmosphere was a little dull but we went when it was fairly quiet.

Nice food but service and atmosphere are lacking

Good but not as good as 12 months ago, quality drop, not sure why not been back to ask.

Nice food and polite staff, just no attention to detail. Waitress got the food order wrong and long waiting times for the food and bill. Will not be going back.

The food and service was brilliant

Bit quiet ,but was monday,beer good ,no meals on a Monday

So fun and relaxing good night out

Lovely food and staff, nice decor and ambiance. Really nice place I'd recommend!

Excellent welcome great staff tasty food good prices

As always class venue to visit on way into longridge.

Excellent buffet s for functions or parties

AComfortable setting to celebrate a friend's life Good food. Gluten free options

Food and staff very good. Unfortunately as our party don't drink alcohol, like most establishments, soft drinks very expensive.

Nice relaxed atmosphere and good food.only minus was having to wait about 25 mins for dessert service which had to get myself, then waited another 15mins for desserts. Maybe it was a one off! Would still recommend this pub.

Called here on spec last night. I'm glad we did, the good was gorgeous and the staff were very helpful. We were there between about 5.30 and 7pm so it wasn't too busy, the atmosphere was pleasant. We'll definitely come back again.

10/03/19 today's meal very nice cheese onion pie

EXCELLENT FOOD GOOD SERVICE AND VERY WELL MANNERED STAFF

Been just now . What to say. Very friendly ,welcome country pub. Fantastic staff ,nothing problem for them. The food is in 10 of 10 stars. Thanks again for worm welcome. Best Regards Ray, Paul , and daschund Zak xxxxxx

One of my old favourite haughts, musty smelling like an old book library and no we didn't have food,after the so called chef walked past us in black trousers and washed out white and now grey shirt,carrying the most grubby ,unheathly moist tea towel on the planet.I got the impression they are deliberately want to drive customers away. Defiantly worked with my group.

Food was very tasty , service was very good. Nice selection of wine and real ales. Was it value for money, I'm not to sure.

Chicken dry, burger dry, slaw limp & chips awful..Apple crumble sloppy. Service ok , food naff.

Visited the White Bull on a Saturday afternoon. The restaurant had a steady flow of customers but we didn't feel crowded. All areas were meticulously clean, including the toilets. The Family/Function room was being used at the time which I thought was a good idea.The customer service offered by owner Alex was second to none. Nothing was too much trouble and our every need was catered for-well done! A wide selection of meals to suit every taste was on the menu and when it arrived presentation was of a high standard, food was hot and very tasty. A fair selection of wines and beers were on offer from the bar. In summary, my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience, we would certainly recommend to others as we will definitely be visiting the White Bull again.

As always, great service and great food

Good food nice place friendly staff

Visited the White Bull a few times in a group and as a couple. Each time food as been constantly great, service as been a little less so, but always welcoming and always with a smile. Would recommend and definitely return. Thanks for everything today.

Very nice staff. We only had the Sunday roast and it was tasty and well presented.

Alex Coward (owner) gave us a really warm welcome, asked if our first visit, showed us around and to our table. His team were also friendly and very professional, and Alex dropped by twice to check all was well. Interesting menu, beautifully presented dishes. The sea bass, beef shank, and turkey were all exceptionally good. The puddings were yummy too! Strongly recommended. This team deserve their success.

Was the 1st time of me going and they was very polite and welcome and just got to say it's was the best meal I have had in years I had the 8oz burger and is by far the best burger I have ever had so much flaver the prices are reasonable but you get what you paid for I would give it more stars if I could... will be going back again....

Excellent quality and a good choice plus some unusual specials.

Great food and service at a reasonable price .

Very nice food and plenty of it

Had roast beef and asked for it slightly pink. It arrived red and almost mooing and to top it off it was cold. Roast spuds were obviously cooked earlier and warmed up to order. No atmosphere here and staff could not be bothered that we have the food back, did not apologise or offer an alternative. The menu was quite limited and don't think I'd have trusted the chef to cook me an egg. AVOID THIS PLACE.

Absolutely brilliant. Food great, service great. Couldn't fault it.

Not a good meal, very slow service. Such a difference to when we went a month ago. Wont be visiting again
