Bull Bedford in Bedford

This pub has come on leap and bowndes very clean pubvery impressed 👌

Now part of Punch Taverns, run by a nice friendly team of locals. Beers good quality and price.

I did not rank the food as they not have a kitchen, but overall a great atmosphere, great service and the locals make me feel like at home.

Clean pub fast service may soon do food. Reasnable drink prices lower than most. GREAT LANDLORDS.

Pros: A nice pint and sports on the TV. Cons: New decor has stripped the life out the place. Walls are bear and new seating is very gastro. This is a Ye olde boozer not a hip and trendy wine bar. Kitchen is closed. Food is no longer served so ignore all the food reviews from here on.

Visited the pub for the first time Sunday afternoon with my brother as haven't been able to get out due to poor health & was impressed with Sarah & her husband, I have run several pub's in the local area in the past & it was a joy to see a proper pub busy full of locals, unfortunately the kitchen was closed but I would recommend them & would return, good luck to them 👍

Local pub with great service and nice atmosphere.

Fantastic staff.friendly and professional. Easily the best place around for a few beers or a reasonably priced meal.

A good friendly pub with a good atmosphere. It has a lot of TV screens for showing sport and the beer is quite cheap for a pub.

Landlord and Landlady are fantastic and the clientele are hilarious

Excellent pub, great beers , superb staff and great management

Been here a few times and have enjoyed the service, nice food Limited menu though would like to see more variety.

Absolutely amazing couple running a proper pub. With some amazing grub! Entertainment also a big hit here. You should definitely give then a go one eve!

Nice and clean pub with good cheap real ale, Food available and smelt good, ( I just called in for a pint or 2, will deffo go again when I'm in the area

Friendly staff ! Excellent service!

Great pub. It just needs a little TLC. Great people behind the bar and very good pint with good people!

went to The Bull for darts match last night even so we lost. bar staff was good and same to the snacks.

Friendly pub. Was going to have lunch there, unfortunately it was chefs day off. Food here is usually amazing.

Popped in for a quick drink before my father's funeral and to get changed. Friendly staff.

Busy pub with sport on big screens, had chicken strips, cheesy chips and garlic bread, everything was lovely but the garlic bread was a bit strong for our liking, will be going back soon

Good place. Nice food. Classic pub!

Food is great, staff are lovely and attentive and the bar is always fully stocked and ready for the rowdy!

Nice place, very reasonably priced. Only had a drink but in pleaasant surroundings.

Local pub for the locals. Everyone seems to know everyone like the American show Cheers and like that show, when you walk in you can sence a uncomfortable air as the locals meerkat heads up you for acceptance see who your meeting there by sussing what you're about. Once you're in you're in and can feel at home, by the time you leave you're practically family. Also like Cheers it's 80's, it's tired, the car park is huge but also very tired looking. They do put on bands and DJ's there. There's a pool table for the teenagers. Food is very good as is the friendly service.

Jasmine welcomes us as if we were in her home. Great staff great karaoke, great crowd

Lots of lagers, just the one ale. Greene King IPA. Apparently the locals don't drink proper beer so no call for more variety. But that one proper beer is served with due diligence, love and professionalism by the landlords. A good GK IPA. At a good price. Unfortunately the lager swilling locals drop the atmosphere level and the decor doesn't help make for a cosy pub. But if that's not what you need, don't be put off.

Lovely friendly pub. They treat you with open arms.

Staff are brilliant and also food is very good. Great atmosphere with regular customers

Nice atmosphere, friendly bar staff

Very good, if you have a little function here the food is very I do recommend it 👍👌

Nice local pub and good bar staff

It's a very nice place. And everyone is friendly

Nice food, good prices. Will definitely eat here again.

Poor service, staff nowhere to be seen, finally came out of hiding miserable with no apology for delay. Ridiculously overpriced too.

Friendly staff brilliant atmosphere

Staff were amazing, amazing atmosphere and very the pub was it tip top condition

Nice friendly place Great staff

Had a great meal on Friday night, one of the best tasting meals we have had in Bedford and great value for money.

Had a very nice meal in there today

Great service, especially in these times.

It's a friendly pub they make you feel welcome

Good local pub friendly hardworking staff but beware of idiots spoiling it for the genuine good customers good range of food also live sports coming when restrictions are lifted next week sarah is top barmaid.

Great pub great food amazing prices and the staff are amazing lovely outdoor area with covid going on x

Staff very friendly. Had it all in hand with serving outside. Highly recommended

Nice pleasent pub staff brilliant order through window and excellent service

Great atmosphere and speedy service

Great effort by the Landlord and staff in getting everything ready for end of some restrictions.

Went there to night no social distancing. Make u pay for food they never serve.cant buy more than one drink as they dont care about any one apart from. Locals. People sat sholder to sholder . Staff rude dont even make eye contact so they can pretend it's to late to order.do not vist .unless ur the covid police.manager even lied to my face about he was going to serve me.

Very friendly social distance in place

Got their social distancing measures spot on, Dean the landlord and his team go the extra mile to make your visit as comfortable as possible, Vernon the chef serves up some absolutely outstanding food from his kitchen, well worth a visit if you are in the neighbourhood.

Normal pub cheep drinks only one pool table tho

Typical pub really, do there covid bit too

Temperature check and details taken..loads of space out and in...table service...was lovely to be out!

Cant remember so must of been good

The Bull is a great pub to meet good friends the staff are fantastic and so is the beer what more could you want

Moody staff, apologised later saying that they are new never saw booking

Nice and friendly perfect place to bring family for a nice day out or the lads for a pint and some pool all in all a classic example of a British venue that just does it right.

Excellent service, well presented food tastes very good too

This is everything you want from a pub, great atmosphere and friendly staff... And the beer is not bad either!

In like it but sometimes it's noisy and the language is a bit off putting.

Pub looks good after the referb but the mac n cheese had no sauce and was very flavourless

Was made to feel very welcome on a difficult day as it was my mum's funeral , put on a really great buffet well worth the price .

Popped in here after work 1730 on a Friday afternoon. The pub was quite full and very noisy. Noise of course is subjective but I found the conversation I wanted / needed with some colleagues quite hard. I only stayed approximately 1.75 hours.

Brilliant sunday lunch, great service

Very frieadly abd set up my table

Great atmosphere on a football night

Not an upmarket place but the staff were lovely and and it was nice and spacious

Garlic mushrooms not served with garlic mayo and not garlicky at all terrible service from the staff who claimed not to have garlic mayo despite it being served 1 week earlier #dissappointing

Recently had a "makeover" and looks much better now! Brighter, cleaner and a great place to drink/socialise

Fantastic meal and great place to eat.

Food is good an old working man's pub in the middle of renovation.

Friendly local pub. Offer a decent selction off food too. Nice friendly chatty engaging staff. Always come here now to watch football as they show sky sports games. Great pub

Nice...nice service,affordable prices...beautiful decor.

Good atmosphere for the after work drinking crowd

Not so good since becoming a free house, but the staff are very friendly and atmosphere good.

Excellent place to choose better beer

Pleasant, friendly staff. They also do food. Plenty of space to sit down. Bit worrying that they have CCTV in the toilets, ostensibly to reduce crime! They do say that the cameras only view less 'private ' areas in the toilets, but it's anybody's guess what that means! The locals seem to accept the presence of these cameras unquestioningly!

Good evening weekend premiership league game with my Guinness 👌💯

Great locals pub. Just about to change hands - will be interesting to see what the new owners do to keep it that way.

It's ok, you can go in and get a drink. It doesn't look that great being honest but it's still a local pub. I didn't have any food so can't really say.

Friendly staff. Good, fast service. Food was really tasty & arrived quickly. Would defiantly go back again & would recommend to others.

Nice freindly pub good food reasonably priced, 2 can eat for under £10

Little local pub. Food was ok. It was pub food

The food is typical pub food and is a reasonable price. If you want fine dining then it's not the place but if you want some half decent grub but not too expensive then this is the place for you.

Very welcoming staff in a friendly atmosphere with a good choice of food and drinks.

Nice friendly pub, great atmosphere

A cheap and cheerful pub, with a modern decor and televisions showing sport everywhere. Food cheap and substantial but not a place to take "she who must be obeyed" for anything resembling an occasion. Staff friendly and clientele mainly local.

I am disappointed to find that the 'free burger' I was awarded by the green king season ticket collector card was 'deleted' over the new year period. This may be due to computer error during the change between 2018 and 2019 but, having collected 12 'points' and not having the opportunity to redeem my award is hugely frustrating and disappointing especially as I consider myself as a regular customer.

Good drink good food and good to watch the football.

A standard pub menu with a friendly atmosphere.

Good place.friendly people and hot chaos get in there

Very well maintained cellar with very good food and welcoming staff.

Interior and exterior needs some work this pub has gone down hill and chef wearing dirty clothes!

I really recommend double meet burger. This is amazing. So good so big. The best burger on the world. I paid £ 7.99 but it is really worth the money

Great evening and great entertainment

Lovely friendly manager and staff. Family friendly. Good atmosphere.

Nice friendly place. Good beer. Good chicken wings.

Service was slow and we waited for food. Was ok otherwise

Waited ages for our food and we only wanted jacket potatos. Food was ok. Would go again.

New menu quality food good prices brilliant service
