    Champagne was not cold, pasta was overdone, lettuce and tomato in salad were cold and not at all reflective of price. It was also stone quiet on at 8:30 on a Thursday. Staff was friendly and ambience (besides lack of other customers) was good but nothing else to recommend this place.

    Hi Subham, Thank you for your feedback - we're constantly trying to improve at The Bull, so it is all invaluable! Our sincere apologies for your experience with us not being on par with what we usually offer our guests. We react as best we can if ever this is the case (the bubbly and the pasta being removed from the bill), and rest assured the kitchen team will be offering a much improved version of the ravioli dish, in the future! We hope to see you again soon! All the best, The Bull team

    We had very enjoyable Sunday roasts, well cooked and large portions. Imaginative desserts. Very agreeable and efficient service. The upstairs area has great period charm, and there is plenty of space between the tables.

    My wife and I came from Chichester to meet my son and daughter in law for lunch. On a cold inclement day the welcome from the staff at The bull was first rate. My son and his wife had the roast beef, which on arrival, was attractively displayed. And they both enjoyed their lunch. My wife had sea bass, which she enjoyed; albeit she felt the portion was a touch small. I had fish and chips, which was not exceptional. In summary I felt the roast was over priced, the Sea Bass portion was too small, hence, also, not good value for money, and the fish and chips was very ordinary. Again, though, I would just underline the point that the staff were first rate and created a very good atmosphere In conclusion I would not wish to provide an overall negative impression of The Bull and I can understand why, in London, the pub it is held in high regard

    Hi Hugh, Thank you for you invaluable feedback and apologies for not being able to provide the standard of experience that we customarily to at The Bull. I'm afraid our price point is conditioned by a great many factors - a fair share of them beyond our control. What we can control and improve upon is the quality of the dishes we serve and the manner in which we serve them, so we'll be looking at those that you mentioned and consider how to better them. They'll be much better, next time you visit us! Best regards, Nick
