The Bull Inn, Littleton, Shepperton

This pub has two separate rooms, reached via a small corrider past the bar counter. The room at the front nearest to the main road is more of a public (or perhaps sports) bar, as it contains the pool table and dartboard. The larger room at the back is the saloon/lounge bar, as it is carpeted, and is furnished with more “lounge-like” furnishings such as bucket armchairs, and has arty large black and white photos on the walls. There’s quite a bit of “brewer’s rustic” in the lounge bar, with black painted ceiling beams seemingly having no purpose other than decoration; more faux black beams on the bar counter front, and with the walls and ceilings all painted white. There’s a bit of outside seating at the front, and a car park to the side. Of the two handpumps only one was clipped, with Doom Bar, but unfortunately it was undrinkably off. Apparently they don’t have the real ale custom to support having a second ale available, which I guess is not too surprising given the competition that the Barley Mow provides just a few minutes’ walk away. I didn’t see any sign of food on Wednesday afternoon. This is not a bad pub, but I have to say that I wouldn’t go out of my way to visit it again, especially with the Barley Mow just down the road.
