The Black Bull Inn, Boroughbridge, North Yorkshire

A North Yorkshire Inn, near the A1, that you will never forget......

...... not for another 750+ years

A North Yorkshire Welcome.

Welcome to the Home Page of the Black Bull Inn, a famous North Yorkshire Hotel. I hope that you will enjoy your visit to our small corner of Olde Worlde England.

(Tony Burgess - Landlord)

If you are a tourist from another part of the world, be it East or West, you will find that this sublime part of rural England epitomises everything that you have ever heard about the English Countryside.

Alternatively, if you are from the United Kingdom, and new to these parts, you will undoubtedly find our market town, and this establishment in particular, most friendly. After all, we have been looking after visitors for over 750 years!

A North Yorkshire Coaching Inn, but a Hotel, in essence, dating back 755 years - to the year 1258 - and steeped in history.

In a quiet corner of the Market Square in the attractive town of Boroughbridge, and only a very short distance to the A1 Motorway, but still far enough away to be thoroughly rural.

If your journey is from the South of England to, say, Scotland, or vice versa, the town of Boroughbridge is the ideal stopping place for an overnight stay, being roughly midway between the starting point and the destination. With delightful walks in every direction, including the banks of the very pretty River Ure, with its weir and host of wildlife.

Whether you happen to be in the area on business, or maybe taking a few days well earned break, the Black Bull has everything to offer -

6 very comfortable En Suite Bedrooms
First class selection of draft beers
Plentiful supply of wines & spirits
Characters galore in the 3 bars
The best prices around
An excellent Landlord
Delicious cuisine
Log Fires

And we are a Free House!

You will always be made very welcome.

A few quotes from regular customers -

Chris Horner - " There are a lot of chaps who come to the Black Bull wearing a cravat, but I really can't understand why Pete the Post does. That's Pete, I suppose".

Lise, from Bellingham, Washington, USA - "Just wanted to say, in 2009 we were driving around in our rental car, totally lost, in a rain storm late at night. We stopped at the Black Bull not knowing it was an Inn... and asked if you knew of a place nearby where we could sleep.... to which you replied "we've got a room in the back". Best relief ever. Thank you very much. Your kindness has not been forgotten and our stay was very pleasant- and warm!"

Martin Henry -" I live in Saudi now, a very big country. There’s not a single pub half as good as the Bull!"

Pete the Post - "It's hard work that makes any business successful, and Tony is proof of that".

Whitey - "It's a long walk from Roecliffe, but worth every step".

Dave Lowther - "I came to live nearby because the Black Bull is only a short drive from home".

"Cobbler" Paul (*) - " Having lived Down Under for many years, I certainly believe that the Black Bull is the best pub/inn within 6,000 miles".

Gary Watts - "It's a reet good pub, chuck"

* Paul's Mum, Flo, has complained that his real nickname is "Cobber", not Cobbler, so we must say how sorry we are, Flo, for this mistake. Next time you are Oop North you will get a free drink.
