Large Greene King pub / restaurant with various semi-traditional seating and dining areas inside supplemented by a substantial L-shaped beer garden to one side and at the back. Oddly, and annoyingly, given the size of the place, it has a tiny bar counter, leading to significant delays when busy (as it was on this visit, although sensible coronavirus restrictions were in place). Just IPA (£4.20) and Abbot available from two of three handpumps.

Other reviewers were luckier than us for 'interesting range of cask ales', we found the distinctly uninspiring Youngs, Pride, Broadside. Huge inglenook as you enter with a fierce draw and roaring logs. We were asked whether we'd be eating and that seems to be the direction that the Bull leans, there is not really any comfortable bar space to just stand & drink, and many tables were busy with mostly diners. A large outside area, seating for 50 plus more picnic seats for warmer weather, enabled us to take advantage of some weak sun, and the smokers to have a tab.
