The Black Bull - Carta

Met friends for dinner, food was really good, excellent service really friendly staff, landlady and landlord really lovely! Would definitely go again

As a visiting publican I can honestly say that Iain and Jo really care for their pub. Good selection of drinks and lovely atmosphere. Although a pub for locals it's really well worth a visit.

We enjoy calling in local Lancashire pubs to have a drink and today was the turn of blackbull ribchester, its an old pub dating back to the 1700,s, parking across the road in car park, very friendly pub and does a small menu of food. We just had a drink and some crisps. Ver carta

Wonderfully warm and welcoming The Black Bull is well worth a visit . The food is excellent and the Landlady is a lovely woman and made us feel at home . We had Ham and Tomato Sandwich with Salad , and I had Strawberry ice cream and my husband sticky toffee pudding with custard well presented and delicious, We will certainly be returning

Went for the first time and used eat out to help out. There was a warm welcome very friendly. The menu was mainly “pub grub”. We ordered and the service was very quick. The food looked ok but the taste was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed our mains. Our chosen dessert was jam rolypoly. Again it was delicious. Well done and thanks to all.

We visited for the second time for a mother’s day celebration. It was as fabulous as our previous visit! The ladies who serve bar and restaurant are so friendly and helpful. The food is delightful and hearty. Perfect ‘pub food’ a quality that is getting harder to find. I can wholeheartedly recommend the lamb shank and rib of beef. I cannot wait for the next time we can visit! Ver carta

My wife and I visited Ribchester in our motorhome and the first eating establishment we bumped into was The Black Bull. Popped in to have a drink and browse the menu and was given a warm welcome by all the staff and regulars. My wife chose gammon and I opted for the roast pork in cider gravy. Both were served nice and fresh and hot. The chips were the best we've had in a long time. We highly recommend The Black Bull for food or just for an evening drinking. We'll definitely be back.

We had a really friendly welcome from the owners and locals, the pub was comfortbly and traditionally furnished nd the beer excellent. The menu was not extensive but still offered good choice. We both had the steak and kidney pud with mash and veg which was excellent and (beware) enormous. My regret was that I was too full for the puddings which presumably would have been equally good. This was our first visit to the area and also brief so we were unable to return. It was a bit quiet when we arrived but really lively when we left. I can thoroughly recommend the black bull and we hope to return soon. Almost forgot. Excellent value for money

The staff here must be the most friendly I've ever come across in a pub. Me, my wife, 2 kids our dog entered the pub and went through to the garden. We sat down and a lady brought water for the dog and tidied up and toys that were around our table. They had games out for the kids and a member of staff was playing with some of the kids doing the limbo. We had some soft drinks and ordered some food off the BBQ which was a nice touch on a sunny day. The food was brilliant and it was surprisingly cheap! The staff couldn't do enough for us in this pub and it was very child and dog friendly. It was our first time ribchester since childhood and I think we will definitely be back Ver carta
