Called in today for lunch as part of an organised cycle ride. Despite The Bull having been informed in advance, the chef wasn't there (and staff didn't seem to know what time he would turn up. This was 1pm). Three of the draught beers were out of action, and a fourth was off. The barmaid was lovely, but to be honest was quite embarrassed about the level of service she could provide. We had a half and a packet of crisps, and then went elsewhere.

The pub was cold when we got there around 12.30 pm. The staff very friendly, and prompt service, but our roast dinners were served up on cold plates which in a cold room became cold very quickly. The food was good, good choices and puds tooooo

Amazing service every time I'm there we order drinks when we go in then choose what we want (I suggest bacon and cheese potato skins for starters and the breaded chicken burger for main) and the starters take 10 mins with the mains taking a further 15 mins after that, the staff are super friendly and don't make a fuss about anything, food is better than some restaurants I've been to. Only real downsides are old decor, slightly more expensive food than other places (it is amazing food though) and I feel that staff are over run as the cook is the owner and its normally the barmaid as a waitress aswell (there is only 1 barmaid at a time I believe 2 are highered there)

We stopped whilst passing by, food all day was the lure as we missed lunch. As a party of four we all ordered something completely different. From roast to pizza and it was top notch. Friendly staff and good food with beer can't ask for more.

Friendly bar service with sensible drinks prices. Surprisingly there was only one lady running the bar and taking food orders, and as we discovered a little later, there was only one cook in the kitchen!!! Regrettably this meant that our food took over an hour to get to the table! When it did finally arrive it was better than the average pub meal - decent size portions, nice chips and the food was hot. As usual with pub food each plate came with the obligatory salad garnish. Not really necessary. There's a good selection of dishes on the menu but as always relatively few vegetarian options. More staff would improve the experience, but we would definitely go back again.

A good rural location, nice pub food, good service from a solitary female who was barmaid and waitress all in one. She was polite and helpful and very knowledge indeed. The drinks and food were of good value one Sunday afternoon lunch time. The pub decor was in a bit of rundown state and could do with a redecoration and repaint all round! There was damp and water ingress in the old roof. The afternoon was cold and wet but the radiators were not turned on and we had to have lunch with our jackets on!
