Graham Coombs left this review about The Bull Inn

An upmarket refurbishment of an historic old pub, with lots of exposed stonework, twee decorations and low lighting. The small bar has a comfy area of settees and armchairs around an inglenook fire, with dining areas with farmhouse-style furnishings off to either side. Handpumped ales were Hooky, Shag Weaver and Wye Valley HPA masquerading as a house beer.

Almost painfully posh. No branding on the pumps - just had written signs pointing to three real ales - a house bitter, London Pride and Hooky. Hooky was bang average but it probably was the first pull of the day, being an 11:43am entrant.

Mrs M nearly had a £6 artisan bottled cider but years of hypnosis headed off that particular challenge.

Three goes from the posh bar man to get my change correct. Eventually we settle on a figure that in reflection, left me 50p up on the deal.

Quinno _ left this review about The Bull Inn

Pub with gastro pretensions. Sort of L-shaped interior, with some dining rooms leading off. Wicker baskets hanging from ceiling. Two on, a house ale 'brewed by a national' according to the landlord and Camerons Fridge Ale - which was clearly the first out for the evening session (why do so few pubs not pull a little off first?) but ostensibly fine. Apparently a GII listed building. With the R&C over the road and Three Horseshoes a couple of minutes further away, I can’t imagine I’d be too fussed about doing this one again.
