The Bull Inn Pub

What a shame! This beautiful country pub has completely changed since our last visit. We used to live fairly locally and often visited The Bull over the years and were never disappointed with the food, service and friendly professionalism. Unfortunately when we took our Mothers there last week for an early Mothers Day lunch we didn't realise it had changed hands since our last visit and has really gone downhill. On arrival at our table we all had to sweep crumbs off our grubby chairs and underneath the table was filthy. Our waitress was unenthusiastic and seemed very bored and preoccupied with her phone between service. We had all made an effort to dress up a bit as this has always been a smart country pub. Our waitress was in flip flops! The food was just awful and barely edible. Such a disappointing experience that we put on brave faces for so as not to completely ruin our Mothers Day out.

I had my birthday party in the Bull last week and it was wonderful. A gorgeous country pub in a beautiful village. All of the staff were friendly, attentive and wonderful. The food was delicious and the wine flowing and everyone made us feel so welcome. It was great value for money and a fabulous, memorable night. Thank you all so soooo much.

7 of us attended for Christmas Day lunch. We all agreed the dinner was excellent. All very well presented and served. Lovely Christmas atmosphere with an open fire. 2 very minor things I would like to point out is....A bit more toast with the parfait. Homemade mince pies and coffee were on the menu but the waitress didn't know when I questioned, and we were not offered. However they are very minor points in the wider scale as the food service and ambience was exceptional. We thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas Day experience. WELL DONE 👏 see you next year 😊

We stumbled upon this fabulous place quite by accident but we’re so glad we did. Great pub and we ended up staying for dinner and getting 3 rooms for the night. The food was fabulous Fantastic value and the team were brilliant , especially Dominic and Anastasia. Already looking forward to returning one day very soon! Highly recommend if you like country pubs and picturesque walks

Great location, lovely bar staff, comfy bed, the perfect stay! Would recommend anyone to come and stay here. The food was also lovely and the wait wasn’t long! Great selection of pints and wine cannot wait to go again. Thanks so much to the lovely staff!

The Bull have begun serving their Christmas menus quite early and we decided to try out their 3 courses for £25 deal. It was excellent! Complementary glass of mulled wine to start which was perfect on such a chilly day. Generous and tasty starters - we had soup and prawn cocktail. I don’t normally choose soup as it’s quite filling but it was really delicious! Then traditional roast turkey for the mains; the meat was succulent with plenty of veg to accompany, including a side dish of cauliflower & broccoli cheese. The desserts were beautifully presented and a good size to end the meal. Service was attentive and friendly and the bar/restaurant area had a nice atmosphere with a log burning stove & pretty Christmas decorations. Definitely really good value. The only thing I would change was the music which didn’t really add to the atmosphere - something more subtle would be good, although we were glad the Christmas songs haven’t started yet!
