The White Bull Hotel Ribchester

About The White Bull Hotel Ribchester

The White Bull at Ribchester has been a fixture of this picturesque Lancashire village since 1707. A former coaching inn, it's named after the indigenous white bulls that were bred here in the Ribble Valley by local monks. The outside of the pub is one of the most attractive in Lancashire with a portico built using genuine Roman pillars that were dredged out of the River Ribble. Inside, the pub is full of olde worlde charm with beams and real fires and there’s a beautiful walled garden area to the rear with seating for up to 90 people. The White Bull’s seasonal menu is supported by specials with a focus on regional and local produce from nearby suppliers. In addition, there are weekday offers on Wednesday to Friday and a fantastic Sunday lunch. Bestsellers include Homemade cheese & onion pie using Inglewhite buffalo cheese from Caron Lodge and a fantastic Ribble Valley fishboard to share. The pub always has a good selection of vegetarian and plant-based dishes available and the bar always offers a great drinks selection including local cask ales, speciality local gins, a range of cocktails and a well-balanced wine list. In addition, there’s a selection of quality non-alcoholic drinks and speciality teas, hot chocolate and coffee from the local roaster Exchange Coffee. Dog-friendly and family-friendly too and parties are catered for with separate areas to accommodate groups. The White Bull has three letting rooms above the old stable block with separate access and are all en-suite. And of course if you're at all interested in Roman history, this is the pub -- and the village -- for you.
