🏴⚽🐾 TARA'S CALLING ALL ENGLAND FANS! 🐾⚽🏴

Hi, it's Tara here... The Black Bull's official pub dog and England's biggest supporter. 🐶

I've checked the fixtures.

I've inspected the beer.

I've approved the atmosphere.

And I'm happy to confirm we're READY for England v Croatia! 🍺🏆

Join me at The Black Bull, Ripon for England's opening World Cup match and experience the best football atmosphere in town.

🏴 England flags everywhere
📺 Big screens throughout the pub
🍺 Ice-cold pints waiting at the bar
⚽ Every kick, tackle and goal LIVE
🐾 Free tail wags from yours truly

I've been practicing my goal celebrations all week and I can't wait to cheer on Kane, Bellingham and the Three Lions with all of you.

Bring your mates.

Bring your voice.

Bring your belief.

Let's fill The Black Bull with noise and show Croatia what Ripon support sounds like.

🐂🍻 PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT 🍻🐂

The Black Bull, Ripon, has once again been named a major cause of abandoned housework, postponed DIY projects, and messages that begin with:

"Are you still at the pub?!" 😂

Recent reports suggest innocent visitors arrive for "just the one" and are later found several hours deep into great conversation, laughing with friends old and new, and somehow holding a fresh pint they have no recollection of ordering. 🍺🤣

Symptoms include: ✅ Losing track of time
✅ Making unexpected new friends
✅ Saying "I'll be leaving in 10 minutes" at least four times
✅ Returning home with a smile that won't disappear

Many have entered.

Very few have left when they originally intended.

Proceed with caution... and maybe let your other half know you'll be "a little late." 😜🍻🐂❤️

🍺🤣🐂

🍻 WE’RE HIRING AT THE BLACK BULL, RIPON 🍻

Think you can handle the heat of the bar, the late-night laughs, and the occasional “just one more pint”? We’re on the hunt for a Manager / Assistant Manager depending on experience (and willingness to survive a busy Saturday service 👀).

✨ What’s in it for you?
• Pay negotiable for the right candidate
• Staff accommodation possible after probation
• Staff discounts 🍔🍺
• Paid holidays
• Team gatherings
• A genuinely brilliant team to work alongside

⚠️ The catch?
It’s pub life. Long hours, late finishes… and probably knowing more of our product descriptions than your own family birthdays.

📅 Interviews starting week commencing 09/06

If you fancy joining the madness at The Black Bull, drop us a message, email [email protected] or pop in with your CV.

🍺 Work hard. Laugh harder. Repeat.
