my partner and i had a meal there on saturday night and we will not be going back it was awful, first we had to wait 20 minutes before i went and found a waitress to get a menu then we were told that we would have to wait 45 minutes for our meal and to be fair there were not that many people in the pub, when it arived we were served with cream of vegetable soup that looked and tatsted like dish water, and the prawn cocktail was warm? the main came ,my partner ordered rump steak more like shoe leather that had been picked up off the floor, and the whole meal was cold, i orded the gammon ,it looked like someone had sent it back and i had the left overs, we didn't complain we just couldn't get out there quick enough, and it cost us 30.00 pounds to boot, never ever again.

me an my partner went to view the place as a venue for our wedding reception and were met by a lady called faye. very pleasant when showing us around and said they could cater for pretty much anything we wanted regarding food for our do. we took a list of options up in person for her to look at and quote on. after 3 weeks we called to see if she'd come up with any prices and got nothing from her apart from it'll be done in a few days. 2 weeks later rang again and got told similar thing. we then went up again and left a phone number in case she'd lost ours. 2 weeks later still no response from them. if any body is considering a function here i would seriously think twice because if they cant even be bothered to post a quote out for the function then what chance is there of them being bothered to put on a good function for you. we first went up in june 2010 by the way and its now november.

Stayed at the Bubble Inn for a few days while we attended the Download festival and couldn't rate it highly enough. The room was of an outstanding standard and the staff were very attentive and friendly and went the extra mile to ensure our stay was as comfortable as possible. Great location, food and drink were excellent (especially the £3.50 carvery which was delicious and superb value!!). I would not hesitate to reccommend this place and would love to visit again in the future.

Excellent choice of beer with the odd guest alongside the Pedi and Bass.

Has been given a lick of paint and looks quite smart.

Although my visit wasn't as bas as the previous poster - the food was average at best. It is a fair price at £3.50 for a carvery and is better than most at this price.

Worth a visit but the car park is often rammed during sunny weekends.

Without doubt the most disgusting food I have eaten (or not eaten because I refused both offerings yetsreday) within 10 miles of Stenson. I moved to the area recently and have sampled the eateries locally. This was the worst. The staff were aplogetic about my rib eye steak smelling off and were happy enough to replace it with a pie (no cash difference refund offered though, nor even a complimentary drink(. I will never patronise this pub again for food or a drink as I was so disgusted with the food. This is a genuine complaint and not one from a local hostelry. Really sickened me that a pub can try and pass rubbish off at these prices. I came home from The Bubble hungry yet unable to eat as my appetite was ruined by this pub food experience.

The lady serving our table was faultlessand even offered to get the chef to our table but considering he served two inedible meals to our table I thought it pointless to discuss anything with anyone incompetant after two failed attempts.

There are much better eateries within a mile of The Bubble, choose carefully.

If you are the chef at The Bubble and you read this please take notice because I am quite happy to spread the word of my discontent.
