Was asked to provide details of 3 stars: Staff super lovely and friendly but food was not up to scratch for the price. Went for the Christmas set menu. The starter of the paté was so delicious but the turkey main was so over/undercooked, never had to work so hard to cut into a roast before, turkey/roasties tough and veggies hard and crunchy. Someone on my table got a stew of some sort, looked exactly like something I'd make at home, even came in a large bowl with some mash slapped on and some broccoli. Not festive at all. Drinks good. Barely any parking as well, car park was loaded with vans and trucks.

After driving past this little pub numerous times we decided to stop off for some lunch , and I’m glad we did ! We were greeted by a super friendly member of staff who showed us to our table, gave us five ins for drinks and then took our order. We had scampi and ham egg and chips , both were really tasty and the ham used in the ham egg and chips was delicious. For desert we shared a cheesecake , which came out as an individual portion with banana ice cream, again this was to die for!!! Well done to all the staff at the bull ….. we will definitely be returning, next time for Sunday roast

Have been here twice in the last few weeks and me and my family have had great meals and a lovely time. Staff are very good and food has been lovely. Will be visiting here a lot more. Thanks guys

Great restaurant! Staff are really friendly and welcoming. Food is even better! Highly recommended

Update on review - no response to this review - no remedial action taken - manager should be concerned but clearly not. Will take up with your head office! TERRIBLE!!! I used to love visiting The Bull, especially sitting in the garden, enjoying the beautiful scenery. However, my recent experiences have been very disappointing. A month ago, I took my parents, who had travelled up to visit, for lunch. The food was okay, but the atmosphere was ruined by a group of loud workmen, led by one particularly obnoxious individual. His voice was painfully loud, like a megaphone, and completely ruined our afternoon. At the time, I assumed it was just bad luck. This past weekend, a friend came to visit, so I suggested a river walk with a stop at The Bull. Unfortunately, the same unpleasant person was there again, this time with even more of his loud-mouthed crew. While we were at the bar, they were making blatant homophobic comments, which was absolutely unacceptable. Their behavior was appalling, and once again, it completely destroyed the pub's atmosphere. It got to the point where I had to leave my drink behind because I could no longer bear the loud voice giving me a headache. Aside from them, the pub was nearly empty, and I can see why. Unless something is done about this group—especially banning this obnoxious individual—I'm afraid you'll continue losing customers. It's a shame, because The Bull used to be a lovely place.

Visited friends and they booked a table at this establishment. Had the pie, nice and tasty, good size, together with a good size portion of mash and veg. Other people all had good sized portions. The two staff members that dealt with us were very friendly and attentive. Will definitely return when visiting our friends again.

The 'Check Back' was perfect... Unfortunately, it was for the replacement adults meal... "Is everything alright with your meal, sir? Can I get you anything, apple sauce?" When I said, "Everythings fine." I was actually saying I was now eating alone as my food was returned because you served it with cold gravy. I wanted to say the potatoes tasted as if they were cooked last week and had been kept warm since... (The skill of making roast potatoes with hard centres without a crispy skin is applaudable...) The leeks were gritty and far too chewy... Though the 'replacement' meal was flooded with 'hot' gravy, it didn't hide the carrot and parsnip I had bitten when they were first served. Finally, I was passing with my daughter to stay in Kent for the night and decided to pick you over a Chef & Brewer... The fact you served my meal cold and then left me to eat alone will never be good in anyone's book. BTW, the child's meal, though a good concept, it definitely was not worth £7.50. The Adults Roast Pork at £16.95, could have been worth it if it had been cooked properly and initially served hot. The overall service was not good... I was only offered apple sauce on the returned meal with no 'Check Back' on the initial meal or my daughters meal...

We stopped here whilst passing through and ordered a sharing platter with side salad. There was a good selection of ales and the food was very high quality. We will be back if we pass through again!

Took my family here for a celebratory birthday meal and had a great time. Nice clean pub with friendly attentive staff, good food and pretty reasonable prices. The fries here alone are reason for coming - best I’ve ever had. Only thing I’d say is the desserts could be a bit more generously portioned, but still delicious all the same. Really appreciate the clarity on the menu in terms of providing for gluten free and vegetarian/ vegan customers. Definitely will come again!

Great venue for traditional pub food and interesting selection of small plates. Strikes a good balance between those who want to come simply for drinks and those who are dining. Also plenty of outside seating for the summer. Service was good. Pub is starting to look a little tired in places - could do with a bit of TLC but not bad. Plenty of parking at the front and side of the building.
