Bull Inn in West Berkshire

Amazing pub. The staff are friendly and can have a laugh. The food is good and well presented. Seems as though hard work has been put into this place to get to where it is now.

Had a lovely Sunday last lunch here. Great roast. The salted caramel cookie brownie for dessert was excellent. The staff was so friendly and helpful. Will definitely come here again.

Popped in for Sunday lunch and recommend the roasts which were amazing value (£13.99 at time of review) and easily comparable to places where I've spent more, and the roasties were spot on!! NB The chips were also exceptionally crispy and fluffy in the middle

This was the perfect place and location to have my very big birthday. The food and service were amazing. We stayed in one of the lovely rooms which was immaculate and so comfortable with everything you needed. The surrounding area with the very steep hill was great to work off all the lovely food, great for the dog walkers and walkers alike. A massive thank you to Karen, Paul and Taylor for making my day so special with the lovely touches too. Highly recommended…with give more stars 🌟 if I could

Excellent steaks once again never let us done

Great food with brilliant staff and very fast service

Great pub, lovely garden and plenty of parking. Stopped for lunch with a friend, good choice of drinks, food was really good and the staff were friendly, the barman Jon was great. We will be back.

A great pub steeped in History and now the new team are in there with Karen, Paul, John and Taylor They are welcoming and friendly. Food is great and fresh and reasonably priced. Pool table and darts and a sit in the massive garden too.

New management have shaken the place upside down to turn the place into a local friendly pub with good food again. Gone are the days of beat the landlord on a yard of ale along with everything else that killed the pub.

Fab location with amazing staff. Thanks Karen, Paul and team

Great local pub with excellent staff and good food. An absolute must when you’re in the area!

Great place to end a dog walk for lunch!

Good food and beer at a good price. Good service and dog friendly

Absolutely great service, food is lovely had lunch and evening menu, and both thoroughly enjoyed, certainly got my custom 😃

The new owners are excellent. Really good food and lovely people.

Great food great staff! Simple as that we had a great time and will definitely be back Curry night is a must, and entertainment on regular dates is something to plan with the girls …. Look out The Bull we will be back

Great pub and the food was excellent worth a visit.

Good pub for affordable quality food and good atmosphere. The staff were friendly. Would recommend

Lovely pub, great atmosphere and delicious food!! Thank you Karen, Pete, Paul and the rest of the team! Can’t wait to come back!

A friend and I took our children in for dinner and all the burgers and lasagne disappeared quickly. The puddings were also enjoyed and they had a lot of choice (a whole menu) for my gluten free daughter. Service was efficient and friendly and the pub was clean and dog friendly.

Great atmosphere, amazing food definitely would recommend - plus Taylor is fab the service is quick and friendly

Great meal with the kids and the dog. Lovely, friendly and accommodating service. Great food. We’ll definitely be back. Thanks so much!

Under new management, very organized considering the short time they have been open, lovely meal, good friendly chatty atmosphere. Great choice of drinks and food, looking forward to returning.

Lovely welcome when you walked in, staff acknowledged you straight away, had a bite from the lunch menu which was really lovely! Highly recommend will be back with the rest of the family! Good luck to the new management team you guys are already doing an amazing job!

Had a great time at the bull, food was awesome, beers tasted great and service was really good too. Would 100% recommend

came for a drink after a day out with my daughter at beale park, lovely atmosphere and brilliant garden. food was lovely and very well priced

Popped in after a hike and wanted a pint and some snacks, wings were great so ordered a second portion. Great pint of guinness

Friendly staff. Great food in a lovely location.

Came in for lunch had a Lovely cowboy burger and my mum had mac and cheese she said was amazing. Good selection of drinks. Staff were very friendly. Under new management and already looking cleaner. We will be back

Lovely drinks this evening, very welcoming. Looking foward to eating here soon. Jon and Taylor where very friendly and accomodating

New Management already making it look cleaner. My partner said the ale was kept in great condition. Lovely selection of Gin. Cant wait to try the food when the kitchen opens on 24th Feb. Good luck to the new Team

Booked in for valentine's dinner and they just had their kitchen closed. They did not contact me to let me know. Horrific management....

Turned up today ... (booked the table last night) sign up saying kitchen closed ... why did I not get a call or email??? Didn't bother going in! Went to Coppa Club ... where they were able to fit us in and we had great service and food Pubs are struggling for customers.... perhaps you should think about how you treat yours?

Fantastic food - my daughter is still raving about her curry! Friendly and welcoming atmosphere and staff.

Booked a table online several days beforehand for Sunday lunch. Called to advise we were running a little late but we're on our way. Was advised that the booking was invalid and we would not be dining as the kitchen has closed down permanently and The Bull are offering no food at all. Cannot believe the incompetence which allows you to book but then doesn't have the decency to contact you to advise the booking cannot be honoured. Do Marstons treat all their customers with such utter contempt?

Solid pub with great old ‘bones’ - but let down by some curious choices for atmosphere. They were playing loud music AND the sound from the sport on the tele. Pick one, guys. Slot machine in the corner and a pool table also detracted from the potential historic pub ambience.

In the throes of change of ownership/management a goid pub well placed good parking and serves food. Close to the town.

A little gem of pub Welcombe by the a gentian called Tony he couldt of been more pleasant and helpful . We will be Returning and using the Bull as our local now thank you :-)

Met up with friends and took us here, what a lovely pub, the staff were warm, welcoming and attentive. The meal we had was well cooked, hot and presented very well. Definitely recommend.

Listed the pub at the weekend. Had a lovely experience the staff were very friendly and helpful. Food looked lovely and we will definitely be back to try the food. Great atmosphere in the pub and excited to go back again soon. Thankyou to the team and management.

Great Place to have a meal. Staff all amazing and attentive.

A great pub, in a lovely location. Thoroughly enjoyed my few drinks there, well worth a visit 👍

Great, friendly, unpretentious pub. Good for a relaxing beer (with dog and muddy boots)

Food wasn’t available due to chef , but the atmosphere was amazing rooms are 5***** … not to mention the hospitality of a lady called “Sam” she couldn’t do enough for us xx will visit again

Beer is fantastic, food looks amazing, staff are always friendly and happy to help.

Was really looking forward to a hotdog as described on the menu (pork Frankfurter in a brioche style bun ) Was served a deep-fried sausage in a rock solid bun which was inedible

Lovely cosy little pub, the food was lovely and a great selection of drinks!

Great friendly pub with a pool table and darts board. Steak and Ale pie was great. Pub was happy to accomodate a large group and made us feel really welcomed.

24 of us were staying at the YHA in Streatley this week. We all visited The Bull on Thursday night. The team at The Bull worked very hard to accommodate our group and all of the food was great. We felt very welcome. Well done to all the staff. Many thanks.

Very friendly staff , great food

Nice place. Had a dinner and stayed the night. Would recommend as a place to stay for anyone, and the food was OK. Best pint of guinness for miles around 👌

Good pub grub, reasonable prices, nice garden, great location! What else could you want!

Fantastic staff with great food. Smashed it out the park when we came with a party of 35 for dinner and drinks.

Friendly service, nice atmosphere, sun was shining and a big garden! Chicken and bacon salad was lovely and well priced!

We had a lovely family meal at The Bull and the food and service were excellent. Would recommend

The staff were very friendly, especially the chap who cooked the food. The bbq cauliflower wings were amazing. The leek and potato soup was delicious and the chips were lush. Would highly recommend eating here.

Debbie & Ben were fantastic couldn’t be more helpful

Staff were incredibly rude and belittling, and accused one of our group of having a fake ID when this was not the case. The bar staff yelled out that it was fake, laughed in our faces and even drew a fake ID mockingly to hand back to us, all of which was unnecessarily aggressive, based on their assertion that it was not holographic (which it clearly was). Even after proving the ID was real and them being forced to give the ID back, the bar staff was still extremely standoffish, and we left without ordering. A respectful attitude from the barman could have avoided the whole situation as we were more than willing to show evidence. I would advise against going here unless you're willing to risk being condescended and insulted to your face.

Great place to eat. Hot food and quick service. Friendly bar staff. I would recommend

Gone down hill. Garden very run down with ashtrays full . Furniture randomly placed.

Traditional pub in little village of Streatley with car park at rear. Lovely big garden, lots of tables, delicious food (burgers all round!) & friendly & efficient staff. Definitely recommend if in the area. Only 2 miles from beautifil Basildon Park National Trust (Bridgerton, Downton & Pride & Prejudice filmed there!) - all in all a great day out!

Tired pub in desperate need of a refurbishment. Nice garden though

lovely family meal. lots of choice to keep everyone happy. very friendly staff

The bar staff are so friendly and welcoming. The roast dinner was fantastic, we will definitely be coming again

Went today with my family really disappointed

Beautiful beer garden and really lovely food; friendly staff too!

Great welcome and service. Ben engaged with the kids and made them feel comfortable. Rooms were simple but clean and far better value than anything else locally.

Booked a table but only 1 beef dinner left so chicken ordered . I chicken was stone cold so was taken away when returned was stringy . Yorkshire pudding was covered in gravy which made them floppy !! Staff did take our chicken meal off the bill but put us off completely sorry

Could not have had a better experience here. I am doing the Ridgeway National Trail walk for charity and got chatting to the bar staff and owners about the RAF Benevolent Fund for which I am raising money for. They give me the meal on the house and it was amazing. Top marks for hospitality, what a cracking set of people here!!

Lovely food and excellent service. Very busy but staff were all so attentive and efficient. Will be back very soon.

Everything was great. Friendly efficient service and very nice food. We felt welcome and well looked after. Thanks 😊

Very friendly and helpful staff,great food, good ale and extremely reasonable prices! 👍🏻 Highly recommended

Great service the bar manager was very helpful with my elderly mother ensuring she was comfortable checking that she and us had everything we needed even advising to bring the car round to the front of the pub so she would not have to climb the steps in the garden

Came here on an off chance as was hungry passing by. I had the the pie was very good and the staff were very pleasant and accommodating. Great value for money. Drinks were very good. And there was an open mic night which was great will be back

Excellent service, we were a group of 13, and the staff were very helpful especially with one of our party who was in an electric wheelchair and needed extra help. Even charged up the battery for the chair whilst we ate! Good vegetarian and vegan options for the roast.

The service was faultless. We were a large group of 13 celebrating a family birthday over Sunday lunch. All of the staff made us feel welcome and showed the right balance between attention and giving us space to enjoy the occasion. Your staff went the extra mile with attention to detail, such as offering to charge one of our party's electric wheelchair during the meal. Thank you.

Genuinely among the best service I've ever had, such lovely people run this place. Food was great too!

Food was horrendous, should never have been served up. Apparently there were issues in the kitchen and we only had pie, steak, burger or curry to choose from.. all 4 of us choose pie. Took 1hr 10 mins to appear (pub wasn't busy) and in my opinion was virtually inedible. Peas were tinned and cold, mash was Smash, pies were all pastry and tasteless and you needed a knife to cut the gravy! Appalling food.

Having booked at table we very quickly realised that we had made a big mistake. There was no table set up for us, with a limited menu. When we came to order drinks there was no bitter on the premises. The food took over fifty minutes to be delivered and was very, very poor quality. The mash tasted like “instant potato” the peas were hard and possibly tinned and overcooked and the pastry on the pies was thick and tasteless. There was no Manager/ess on site to talk to. However, the two young ladies were doing their best to manage an impossible situation. In our opinion the whole experience was unacceptable. We were very disappointed and embarrassed/apologetic to our guests who were visiting the area.

I have been there three times now. The food is always good, so is the beer and the staff polite and helpful. The atmosphere of the pub is great too and we can always get a table for food.

Service was great, very attentive and friendly staff, however the food wasn’t the best quality. It is reasonably priced so can’t complain too much but the thing that made us laugh was the ‘buttermilk chicken fillets’ were Birdseye Chicken Dippers!!!!!!

Very friendly staff who could not be more helpful. We were a large group of 13 with 5 children so not an easy group to juggle! Staff were polite and kept us informed of food times. Would visit again.

Had a lovely Sunday roast here fresh veg beef just melted in your mouth and some amazing gravy 😋 definitely be back soon

Fantastic evening - food was wonderful. Can't wait to go again!

Stayed at the Bull Inn while hiking the Ridgeway and it was the perfect place to stop halfway through the walk. The pub had a friendly and cosy atmosphere, the food was great and really good value, and the room was very comfortable. The staff were fantastic too and made me and my tired muddy feet feel very welcome! Hope to be back again soon :)

Excellent service, especially from the manager who made a point of coming to us and dealing (very well) with a minor issue. So encouraging to experience, as certainly not always a given. Definitely recommend.

Friendly staff, but some of the worst food I’ve ever come across….

Such a shame that a lovely looking pub that use to be so nice for food and a a catch up has gone down hill so badly. Food missing off the plate would of let someone know but no one came over or around to let know. Half table service half not! Had to go to the bar to pay after waiting for a long time to be offered a pudding or the bill! Was then served by a “friend” helping out who came from the other side of the bar after taking a drink of beer! Really disappointed in service mainly. Sat next to a burned extension lead with other cables around it. **editing review as no option to reply to the pub on here…. Yes the egg was brought out but also the chicken was missing if you remember rightly?? Also we booked a table online so at no point was I informed I was sat in the bar area and not the main restaurant? We just sat where we was shown to.

Not sure how this place has over 4*. It's cheap but it's not great... Serving clearly recooked fish and chips and mixing up orders is not what you need after a big walk.

The 2 staff seemed friendly enough but the decor was very out of date and the food was average. The men's toilets were disgusting and looked like they hadn't been cleaned in a while. Had to hunt for salt and pepper and wasn't offered anything to accompany our dinner. 2 stars as they were at least friendly.

Lovely hotel, the room was spacious and welcoming. The staff were friendly, definitely going to stay again

I tried to book an online reservation for the selected date and time. I was informed that this would be put as an enquiry and the Bull in Streatley would get back to me and that the booking was not confirmed at that stage. I never heard back at all regarding this so made other arrangements. I was extremely dissatisfied that I did not even get any form of correspondence back from them. We have been before several years ago and thought it would be nice for me and my wife to have a nice evening out as the menu looked very good. Not to be!

Food very good staff friendly chef very friendly and good

Stopped here for Saturday lunch. Friends service, excellent, well-kept beer. We both had fish and chips. It was delicious and great value. We'll be coming here again.

Very friendly staff and quality food. Nicely located within easy walking distance of the Thames.
