I rang first, to see if they served food all day. And they did. The lady who was serving (Mandy) was really friendly and had a great sense of humour. The food was cooked well and wasn't too long in being served. The portions were good too. And the boeuf bourgignon was absolutely beautiful, with tasty creamy mash and great veg. If it wasn't 2½hrs from home, I'd come here often!
We found this online when looking for somewhere to eat near where we were staying for a night. On arrival were greeted by friendly staff and given our pick of tables. Not busy but a few tables of people and it was a winter Monday night. We chose to sit by the fire which was lovely. Also lovely to see dogs are welcome. We were asked if there were any dietary requirements and when we told them my husband's no dairy (but eats meat and fish so not vegan) there was an instant check with the kitchen to check what was suitable, even offering modified desserts. He had the banana blossom (vegan alternative to fish and chips) because he'd never tried it before. It was tasty and portion size of the large was very generous. I ordered the cheese and onion pie which is made to order. Oh. My. God! The side veg and mash were perfectly prepared and delicious but the pie was probably one of the best pies I've ever had. Rich and complex filling - think the best Welsh rarebit amped up and you're getting close! Unfortunately, we were too full for a dessert but choices looked lovely. Wide selection of ales on tap and well stocked bar (pity I was driving). Shout out to Mandy for her perfect, friendly service and banter (good luck with the welding)! 10/10 would recommend and will be sure to visit when we are in the area again.
This is our third time staying and dining at the White Bull, when we stayed in December last year it was pretty run down, terrible service, ran out of drinks and the rooms were manky. Things are very different now due to the new owners. We had dinner there and it was beautiful, I had the beef bourguignon which was melt in the mouth, the service was also excellent. The room was the same as we've previously had (Henrietta) but a lot cleaner than before - it does need a new TV though as it's tiny and the remotes don't work. The breakfast was amazing - we had the large full English breakfast which was piping hot; the bacon and fried bread were especially good! They had freshly squeezed orange and apple juice as well. All in all a wonderful stay!
We have travelled from Liverpool and was able to get a last minute table. Absolutely stunning food. The biggest credit to this place though, is the staff - friendly, attentive and polite. Massive shout out to the lad in the blue shirt, we think he was the manager. Nice to see him get stuck in with the rest of the staff running a tightly run ship ensuring us table guests had our food and drinks delivered promptly. He communicated well with his staff - nice to see a team work so well without front of house staff getting shouted at which we have seen many of times. They were all a credit to this place; sometimes we get judged by our accent but honestly we felt at home and well looked after. Give these guys a raise! Side note - That sticky toffee pudding was what actual dreams are made of.
We had a great night at our local enjoying the wine tasting night. What a treat. The food was amazing, as was the service, and indeed the wine. I would HIGHLY recommend the White bull for their entertainment evenings as well as their food menus and drinks. It is wonderful to see this pub being turned back to the truly great pub it is. Well done all. What a great team.

Situated by the River Ribble, near Gisburn, the Buck Inn is a real village pub. Set in the quiet hamlet of Paythorne. This charming 18th Century pub is not only attractive both inside and outside, but it is also known locally for the excellence of it
