    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.

    Always have a lovely experience and the food is great. Due to a busy Sunday, the service wasn’t as quick as usual but overall we were happy.
