The Bull Inn - West Berkshire

First visit to the Bull in five years or so. Found the interior now a bit strange with bright lights around the bar and Xmas decorations on the beams. I am the first to admit that pubs have changed but it was a weird mixture of a country and a town pub. The menu had a good choice but Ploughman is no more. The scampi and chips meal was very good but it was served up with multiple pots all of which had to be emptied onto the plate the make a meal. Service was attentive and welcoming.

Went to The Bull recently with family and had one of the best Sunday roasts I have had at a pub. Normally I think you can cook a better roast at home than at a pub but the Sunday roast at The Bull is excellent. Beef was excellent quality and served pink, the pork was also very tasty. Very good quality sides, especially cauliflower cheese. Puddings were also excellent, I had rhubarb and apple crumble which was delicious. Service was very quick and efficient, especially given how busy the pub was. Thank you!

Over-hyped food which revealed itself, at best, as disappointing and served up on “vintage” 1970s platters complete with all the unnecessary baskets, buckets and other tweeness including jumble sale cutlery, waiting staff lost without front-of-house management and direction, slow service, rubbish table in effectively a corridor, affected quasi-artisan décor… needs stripping back with a smaller and better executed menu, sharper service and lose the silly frills including that ghastly loo seat in the ladies.

Had lunch here yesterday, what a beautiful place. Friendly and welcoming staff. Great menu... and the food was amazing. Was lovely walking in on a rainy day. To the fire being on. 5 stars

We have dined at the newly refurbished Bull a few times since it t was reopened, and cannot recommend it highly enough. Fabulous food, fantastic service and an overall superb experience.
