Basically a restaurant set up which you'd expect. Robinson's ales on offer.

This old coaching house has quite a deceptive appearance from the outside. The exterior is fairly anonymous. Inside there is room after room. The bar, a medieval style room with the odd stuffed animal, has been extended over time – some of it dates back to the 1100s and the date on a beam in front of the bar 1472.

A side room has a pool table, the room to the rear is a small room of square dining tables, another room to the rear has longer tables and is used for medieval banquet bookings for up to 18 or so people. Through the bar to the side of the pub is a fair sized restaurant, with another conservatory bar, often used to host weddings. A lawned beer garden is situated behind the pub with direct access to fields either side for the many campers who use the pub washroom facilities. B&B accommodation is upstairs.

Just the one cask ale – Robinson’s Unicorn Best Bitter which was 4% but had a strong flavour. It was OK.

By catering to a diverse customer base, you can easily see how the place is a success

The Bull i th Thorn is a unusuall looking pub from the outside it is a black and white pub that is quite old.
Once inside we went in a largish room that was fairly dark and had an olde worlde feel to it,there may have been other rooms but we did'nt look around the pub.
The pub is a Robinsons tied house and there was only one real ale on the bar this was Robinsons bitter and this was a very nice drink.
This pub was not to bad but not really to my taste.
