About Us

Here is just a little info to let you get to know our pub better...

History

Here is little potted history of our pub and the local area... if you have a spare minute or two and maybe a cup of tea (or is that a G&T), we think it's well worth read.

If you'd like to put a name to a face, allow us to introduce you to the crew...

Front of house

Steven Larkin

Manager

Steve is a Lancashire lad that originally joined us back in 2014 when he opened the Aspinall Arms. After a couple of years at the Aspinall he went over to Haighton Manor in Preston and has just about come to terms with the fact that now he is going to be a Yorkshire Landlord at The Bull! Steve has a bit of a soft spot for our company as this is where he met his wife Anna. They recently tied the knot in Santorini and if you can't find Steve working you will be sure to find him in a local pub somewhere nearby enjoying married life.

Rebecca Willson

Trainee Assistant Manager

Bex as she's fondly known, loves our four-legged visitors and always welcomes them with a bowl of water and doggie treats. She has a passion for good food and often eats here with her parents (their treat of course) with Lilly her lovely Labrador in tow.

Aaron Cunliffe

Supervisor

Aaron started work here when he was 16, working part-time at weekends and throughout the holidays. After gaining his degree at Newcastle University in Business with Marketing Management, it wasn't long before he was offered a full-time role and promoted to Supervisor, and he's now set his sights on running his own pub one day! Until then, we will continue to enjoy his upbeat personality and stories of the two recent additions to his family, puppies Leela and Bean.

Louise Hooson

Bar/Waiting Staff

Louise worked at The Bull several years ago, and after a break found herself missing the camaraderie and decided to re-join the team last year, and we're so pleased she did! Never short of a smile or a laugh, she's our lovely lunch time lady

William Sullivan

Bar/Waiting Staff

Will joined our team a year ago, totally new to the area and industry (previously living in Hertfordshire). He has since gained a passion for hospitality and we all look forward to seeing him continue to grow and thrive here. When he's not working you'll often find him exploring the Yorkshire countryside with his fiance and two lovely dogs.

Kitchen

Jake Carr

Junior Sous Chef

Jake loves to keep fit and is a keen cyclist. He's probably the politest chef you'll come across and we love him for that. His spare time is spent fishing, walking his dogs and spending quality time with his girlfriend.
