Relax by the fire, enjoy hearty food, or call in for a pint after exploring the village and the surrounding Dales. The Bull is a very old traditional country inn set on the banks of the River Ure in the picturesque village of West Tanfield which lies just north of the ancient Cathedral City of Ripon. Restored in 1699, parts of the inn are formed from what was once the ferryman’s cottage and the ar

tist JMW Turner drew scenes of the nearby ancient Marmion Tower on one of his many tours of Yorkshire.

☀️ A little menu update during the hot weather ☀️

With the temperatures being so high at the moment, we’ve temporarily taken a few dishes off our menu to help keep the temperature in our kitchen manageable for our chefs.

There’s still plenty to choose from, and we’ll bring the full menu back as soon as the weather cools down a little.

Thanks for your understanding, and a massive thank you to our kitchen team for keeping things going in this heat! 🍻
