The Bull, Iver

A proper, old-fashioned (in a good way) pub, retaining separate lounge and public bars (the latter with a pool table). Traditional furniture and decor. Also has some rather less attractive patio seating out back beside the car park. More importantly, the 'Good Beer Guide 2013 Listed' signage, Cask Marque accreditation prominently displayed, 1/3rd pint tasting glasses poster, nibbles on the bar counter and a friendly welcome all indicate good things... Pride, 6X and Seafarers are the regulars now, with Betty Stogs on as the guest when I called in (£3.35, and in cracking form). Overall, well worth seeking out.

The Bull has two very different bars.The public bar is popular with the under 25's ,has a pool table and was busy even on a Monday evening with young girls standing outside on the pavement.The lounge is more of an old man's (or women's) bar and is a throw back with 1970's decor.The piped radio added to the retro feel.Three real ales are on permanently ,namely London Pride,Adnams Bitter and 6X,which doesnt get the pulse racing but the guest beer which changes regularly was an IPA from the Copper Dragon brewery which was excellent,no need to move of it for the session.Pub food is available but no one was eating when I was there,but the beer is a sufficient recommendation.Thoroughly deserves the GBG entry.
