I used to come to this pub quite regularly but haven't been for a while so was eager to see how it had changed. It is still a good lively pub but after ordering 2 bottles of Sierra Nevada I got the bill - £4.60 for a bottle is absolutely ridiculous! A pint is a pricey £5 at other pubs but at least it's a full pint. When I asked the guy who served me how can they charge that much (even in Waitrose it's only £1.80 a bottle) he told me 'We've got such a cool pub so we can charge those prices'

Shocking

Not really a pub. Food is good but jesus, you pay for it. Agree with sidneyh about the clientele - straight out of a Boden catalogue or just back from a gap yah. Staff mixed - some nice, some think they're too cool to serve. Drinks pricey to match the grub but ale was in good condition. Come for dinner (if someone else is paying) but for a proper pub head down the hill to the Southampton Arms, if there's room.

full of porky middle aged suburbanites, pink socks and brown suede loafers. nice pub, shame about the clientele. Anyone local, as they say? No, thought not.

The Bull and Last succeeds brilliantly as a restaurant with really interesting ingredients and high quality preparation. It's always full although as far as I know the recession isn't over yet. But I agree that it's not the best pub qua pub in the area - even as a gastropub. I went in at 10.30 the other night hoping for a pint and a scotch egg but because the kitchen was closed they had no bar snacks. Still, this is where I would book for a really memorable meal out at a reasonable price for the quality. The rest of the time I can be found in the Southampton Arms....

I visited on a Friday night. There were two ales on: Mad Goose and Hooky Bitter, both in very good condition, £3.50 per pint. Pay attention to the prices on the wine list as the glass price rises steeply. It's a very food oriented pub: most tables downstairs are set for dining and only a couple of tables and some bar stools remain for non-diners. There's another dining room upstairs. Reasonable range of malts and bourbons.

I didn't think the food was particularly over-priced, and it was certainly good stuff! We had three starters: trotter wontons; crispy pigs' ears; duck hearts on toast. All three were very tasty and between £5 and £6.50, which I thought was OK given the quality. For main courses we had wood pigeon and beef bourguignon (£15), both very good. Service was good at bar and table.

It's more restaurant than pub, and not the best choice if you just want to drink, but if you want good grub with a nice pint, it fits the bill.
