    A meal for my sisters 60th was blighted by the fact the menu didn’t have any ribs left which a few of us wanted. They also forgot my brothers meal and the rest of us had all finished our meals by the time his arrived. We were not charged for his meal.

    I haven’t been to the Bull for a few months. There is a great improvement in the quality of the food, especially the fries.

    Lovely food, good service. Shame we were the only ones in the restaurant so no atmosphere. We did enjoy the live music in the bar but also catching up with friends and being able to hear each other!

    Food was lovely. My only issue was disabled access. The “wheelchair” entry still had a ridge to get over in the doorway and the toilets were up 3 steps. If someone was an exclusive wheelchair user, they would not have been able to access the toilets. No issues with the food and no concerns with the allergy a guest had. All handled perfectly and service was great.
