Food was excellent. Fish and chips was a large portion and nice and hot. They do a gluten free option. Salmon and cauliflower rice was delicious. The staff were very helpful and all the staff in the pub were friendly. I went on a Tuesday lunchtime and it was busy so don’t forget to book.

this is the second time recently that I have visited The Bull and I have found value for money it to be really really good. The Bull Burger is so good and both times the service has been really good. We would return and do feel that other restaurants recently have charged way too much for dinner but The Bull has been really good value with good presentation. Thank you.

The service was really slow - it took 1 hour 26 mins to get our mains and only after I chased. The eggs (yolk) in ham and eggs was hard and the chicken in hunters chicken was small and dry
