| This place has changed from being a Beefeater to a Chef and Brewer (or maybe it's the other way round). Whichever way the change is, it's for the worse. It's a soulless commercial operation, entirely food oriented - and the food, when we tried it, was poor. Sad, because it's a magnificent, historic building, and ought to be worth visiting earlydrinker - 1 Oct 2011 13:02 |
| Nice pub, good beer and excellent food but appallingly bad service! Everytime I have eaten here I have had to chase up where my food was! Tonight the first course arrived in reasonable time but the member of staff who brought it out (we were in the garden) ambled out with an "I-don't-really-want-to-do-this" attitude and toured the whole garden before he found us! We had already ordered dessert but half an hour after finishing the first course I had to go and chase it up! The same person ambled out with scalding hot crumble - fresh from the microwave - ignored the dirty crockery from our main course and ambled back to the pub empty-handed. He did this every time he brought some food out and by the time we left, several tables were loaded with dirty glasses and crocks all being ignored and the family on the next table were just about to chase up their food! aaac - it's not just at busy times you have to wait a little - I've had to wait a lot every time I've been there - and I've not been there at busy times!! Certainly wasn't busy tonight! steambeer - 30 Sep 2011 20:10 |
| The Bull has a beautiful beer garden and is a nice looking pub. But my wife and I were charged £8.75 for a pint of Kronenburg and a white wine spritzer. What a total rip off. My beer was tannic and odd tasting and the wife's wine tasted like it had been watered down slightly. They had the cheek to charge extra for the lemonade in the spritzer as well!!! I should have walked out I know but we were thirsty. Give this over priced "pub" a wide berth. The beer is awful and the prices suck. bigalfonzo - 23 May 2011 20:16 |
| Ah, but there we have it. "Very strongly led food pub". "Part of Chef &Brewer Group". It ain't a pub! It's a restaurant which happens to serve beer, which is regrettably why it appears on this site. pub_aficianado - 23 Mar 2011 20:08 |
| The Bull has gone through a few managers throughout the past which has made the pub not as stable as it could have been due to its amount of business, as not just an ordinary pub, but as a very strong led food pub (always busy!). However, being part of Chef and Brewer group with the excellent menu of both food and wine, this place has never let me down. With its roaring fire's in the winter and it's beautiful garden in the summer, this pub can never be a let down! You may have to wait a little in extreme circumstances when busy, but hey! who doesn't these days when you find a decent place to dine in. The building has recently been refurbished to be a lighter and fresher pub but still keeping the character of the building and my gosh, the menu is to die for, but being at the same time competitive value for money. We go there regulary and would recommend for both families and couples aaac - 28 Jan 2011 00:09 |
