Lovely surroundings, attentive staff. We had Chorizo Sausage, Nachos and my husband had the Ribeye. He said the steak could have had more flavour but overall we had a great meal. Thank you

We had a great staff Christmas party in the small private dining room. The wine list is extremely interesting & not your usual choices of wines & labels so for anyone who loves their wines this is a must. The service was unobtrusive, professional & knowledgeable. The food was all served in shallow bowls rather than plates which meant main courses looked a bit cramped and the cheese plate was very crowded. However, it all tasted really good - particularly the soup, turkey, ox cheek & cherry chocolate dishes. The sorbets needed taking out of the freezer a bit earlier before service. The bar afterwards was welcoming & the coal fire fabulously cosy. Everything was lovely & clean including the toilet facilities.

Another fantastic visit to the Bull. Staff are brilliant and attentive, but never intrusive. Food was superb, the Sunday roast is one of the best we've had in a pub, those little smoked new potatoes are to die for and the pork belly just fell apart. Will be back soon hopefully.

Thank you very much. Yes, you are right, those potato's are simply the bomb !!
