The Black Bull - Menu

Our group of 12 walkers came here for lunch after walking around the local countryside.

Excellent food, good service and a great atmosphere.It is slightly tucked away but easily seen on your way back from the church, Roman museum or the river

We discovered that this local pub is incredibly welcoming, with delicious food, great beer, and friendly company. Unfortunately, on our second visit, we had already eaten and were too full to try the homemade cheese and onion pie straight from the oven.

I visit here quite regularily for food and never left dissatisfied. Its nothing gourmet, but thats not the aim. Its good, home-style, pub grub! Great value, aswell. Service, Great. It just proves you can get good food for cheap, nowadays. Well recomended

Went in the black bull one day last week after reading the good review's, we found a seat and sat looking at the menu, it felt very cold inside, I went to the toilet and there was sick in the sink from the night before, I soon changed my mind we drank up and got out.

We are a Living History Group of 16 people visiting Ribchester for the annual Roman Festival. It was a Saturday evening on the hottest day of the year, and England was playing in the World Cup, so we sensibly ordered our food in advance. The staff worked efficiently and we were seated and served quickly. Food excellent. We will definitely visit again.

We visited for a quick drink and bite to eat , the pub seemed much more appealing , fresh , clean and welcoming, food could do with some improvement ... the soup we had was tasteless , thick and gloopy and tasted of veg bullion paste and not much else , the fish pie we received was not as expected, over cooked fish and a blob of mashed potato sat on top with some cheese melted on top of it , pretty poor ... !service on the other hand from the front of house staff were lovely , attentive met all our needs . Will return again soon !!

After a nice walk in the nearby countryside, my companions and I stopped by the Black Bull Pub where we were warmly welcomed by the manager. I sipped on a couple of pints of the Spitting Feathers beer, which I enjoyed. However, I was disappointed with the hot beef and onion sandwich I ordered. The pre-sliced beef appeared to be store-bought and the sandwich overall lacked creativity. Even with a side of homemade chips, it didn't stand out to me. I have had better beef sandwiches for the same price at other places. This visit left me feeling like the standards at the pub had declined since my previous visits. Some more innovative sandwich options would be appreciated.

I heard that the Black Bull Pub was serving Fish and Chips on a Friday night, so my family and I decided to give it a try instead of our usual spot at the Longridge Chip Shop. The girl who took our order over the phone and greeted us in person was extremely polite and welcoming. I had to call ahead to let them know I would be running a bit late, and the girl on the phone was very understanding and friendly. However, when we arrived, we were met with a cold reception from another bar lady who seemed annoyed that we were late. She questioned my earlier phone call in a rude manner, which made my sons uncomfortable. This type of customer service was disappointing, especially for a first-time cus...
