| Stayed here for 2 nights for my 50th and whilst the back bar is a cosy good place to have a drink, overall the experience was a little disappointing. The beers were in good condition and the room - Melford Suite - was comfortable, but it was above the bar and you can literally hear every word people are saying below. The food was expensive for what it is and I would not choose to eat there again because it just was not worth the money. meland - 21 Mar 2011 12:55 |
| This place has improved greatly from a couple of years ago. The back bar is probably the best place in Melford for a drink at the moment and grows more popular all the time. Always a good guest ale. Service friendly and attentive. Lots of comfy armchairs and a wonderful roaring log fire. No complaints. Stallywag - 15 Feb 2010 10:58 |
| Not really a pub. Cosy little bar though. Beer was good, not just GK. Worth a visit if you want to chill in relaxed surroundings. tommyn11685 - 18 Mar 2009 16:55 |
| Having said that... been popping in here recently now that Autumn has arrived and it has perked up a bit. Well, the bar area anyway. Nice roaring fire. Try to avoid Greene King IPA, but they've recently been selling St Austell's Tribune which is very flavorsome. The place certainly has a little more life about it... Will keep tabs...

| The Bull really should be the flagship pub/hotel of the village. It's a fabulous and famous old building and is well worth dropping into if only to have a little nose around all the nooks and crannies. Unfortunately as a pub, restaurant or hotel it falls woefully short of the mark. For too long now it's simply been yet another managed branch of a chain network (Trust House Forte, Green King, god knows who's got it now). The place always seems under-manned and staffed by disappointed people who would sooner be doing something else somewhere else. There is absolutely no feeling of stewardship here. Just a venue going through the motions - it relies heavily on catering for wedding parties at the weekends. So it makes it's money without worrying whether any of the customers will come back. The locals by and large avoid it. Hate to be so negative because it is a beautiful building and something of a landmark, but it is so complacently run and should do so much better. I doubt this will happen unless it falls into private hands. Stallywag - 30 Mar 2008 22:29 |
