The Bull Inn, West Tanfield

The Bull Inn is a historic pub in West Tanfield, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.

The pub was probably built in 1699; a reset datestone is to the left of one of the doors.^[1] It is believed to be on the site of a former ferryman's cottage.^[2] It was altered in the early 19th century, and was grade II listed in 1966.^[1] In 2016, it was voted as Yorkshire's favourite pub, in a Welcome to Yorkshire contest. At the time, it was under the same ownership as the village's other pub, The Bruce Arms,^[3] but its lease was sold to other tenants in 2025.^[4] In 2023, The Times named it as having one of Britain's best riverside beer gardens.^[5]

The pub is built of stone stone, with quoins, and a pantile roof with stone coping. It has two storeys and is four bays wide, the left two bays lower, recessed and smaller. On the second bay is a doorway, to its left is a re-set dated stone, and the windows are horizontally sliding sashes.^[1] Inside, it has wooden ceiling beams, slate flooring and a fireplace in the main bar, a separate dining area, and five rooms to let.^[2]
