    After a long and exhausting day competing in the local Nuclear Mud Run, our party of five was looking for somewhere close to our Holiday Inn hotel to relax and refuel—and The Bull didn’t disappoint. While service was initially a little slow and our drinks took a while to arrive after being seated at our pre-booked table, everything else more than made up for it. The food, especially the steaks, was excellent, beautifully presented and cooked exactly as requested. We also felt the meal offered great value. Overall, a very positive experience and a venue we would highly recommend.

    Come up here for my grandparents diamond 60th anniversary and my Nan’s birthday. Unfortunately the service was terrible, on multiple occasions when ordering drinks they never came so had to chase them up. Had to ask to order desserts 3 times after being given the menu. They did leave the desserts off the bill but still come to £280 without service charge or the desserts and the service we received was shocking. I’ve eaten in here many times before but today I was very disappointed and so was my grandparents.

    I did inform them it was a birthday treat but was offered a table right in the middle of the thoroughfare where people had to pass to be seated, so I asked for a different table. They only started to get busy when we had nearly finished anyway. The roast dinner was presented on a round soup type bowl and so full of gravy that I couldn’t see the meat at the bottom. Plenty of meat but very chewy so undercooked. I know portion size matters but there was so much I could only eat half. Just wish the dinner was on a proper dinner plate and not swamped with gravy. The bread and butter pudding had no sultanas and not made in the traditional method of slices piled on top of each other. All in all not the best experience I have had when dinning out, which is such a shame as it was my birthday and I was eighty.

    We have been to the Bull several times, why? Parking is easy The Menu has a good choices of meals The Food is well cooked and presented , and in particular the fish and chips is delicious The service is efficient, informative and friendly The cost is not cheap but it’s good value for money The only issue is verifying who I am when writing a review. It’s a real pain

    Noisy, overcrowded, average food. Service was ok but we were ignored on arrival and when I complained about the table, the waitress agreed with me that it was the worst table they had, in the middle of the restaurant, right in front of the fire. Obviously we were squeezed in and constantly disturbed by staff and customers alike. Unlikely to return.
