On the pumps were Wychwood Hobgoblin, Wychwood Bountiful & Brakspears Bitter. The place has nice olde-worlde decor but dining room empty and barmaid resorted to sitting on public side of bar reading the paper, it was that quiet. Wychwood Bountiful was well kept but not a place with atmosphere. Real shame.

We had am evening meal with wine and received friendly and quick service. The pub had a nice atmosphere with the period features giving a different feel to usual pub restaurants. Would recommend the Bull and would like to try it when the log fire is roaring

Wargrave was our stop on a Twyford - Wargrave - Twyford walk so we had four pubs to choose from. The St. George and Dragon and White Hart had wine glasses on the table when we looked through the window so we felt they were not for us. We chose the Bull over the Greyhound merely on alphabetical order.

We were there fairly early on at lunchtime and it was quiet ( 2 other folk ) but it improved a little later, no mean feat in itself as Wargrave appears to be a ghost town, full of closed down shops and For Sale boards. Brakspears Bitter and Hobgoblin were available and both were fine. Half a dozen specials augmented the standard menu. We had fish and Chips, a curry (CTM) and 2 brunches and these certainly kept the wolf from the door.

We were served by a pleasant young lady with distinctive cleavage and flip flops.

The gents toilet, hidden away at the back of the pub, contains a painting of a naked lady, in fairly graphic detail. An unusual feature, but I suppose you might as well hang it here as anywhere else !

A pleasant enough hostelry, nothing outstanding but nothing rotten either. I'd happily return for a drink, but wouldn't lose any sleep if I didn't.

We stayed for four nights prior to returning to Sydney. The room was fine apart from the mini-fridge not working and the "do no disturb" sign being ignored. The host was fine but his partner was less than friendly. Breakfast was the pits-we only tried it once and then went elsewhere or smuggled yoghurt in (to the non functioing room fridge).

Parking was non existant except at the Council car park down the road.

Dinner was on a different plateau. Wonderful!!! Beer garden was a delight.

To summarise, fix the attitudinal problem of the host's partner, fix the room fridges, fix breakfast and you'll havew a winner. 4/10.

The other reviews on this site are out of date. The pub is now under new management. It has bags of atmosphere, wonderful old world charm and is now run by Gerry Brennan. Most definitely worth a winter visit, just to stand by the lovely fire with a warming drink!
