The Best Pub, North Yorkshire, UK

Historic pub,

modern flavours

Nestled in the charming village of Raskelf, The Old Black Bull is more than just a pub—it’s a piece of North Yorkshire’s history. This 500-year-old free house has been a gathering place for locals and travellers alike, where its timbered walls and cosy corners tell stories of a bygone era.

Owned by the Hannah family, The Old Black Bull has preserved its traditional charm while evolving into a modern, welcoming spot with a reputation for excellent food, drink, and warm hospitality. The pub’s character remains true to its roots, offering a relaxed atmosphere where guests feel like part of the family.

Cask ales,

& culinary delights

Our commitment to quality extends through every aspect of the experience, from the locally brewed ales on tap to the seasonal menu featuring the freshest ingredients from the surrounding countryside. Head chef Steve Wanless and sous chef Rachel Johnson bring passion and creativity to each dish, from classic pub favourites to innovative seasonal options that celebrate the best of British flavours.

Whether you’re joining us for our famous Sunday roast, a pint of Timothy Taylor’s Landlord, or a special occasion meal, The Old Black Bull is here to make every visit memorable.
