Bull Inn in West Berkshire

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

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

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

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

Food very good staff friendly chef very friendly and good

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!

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.

Pup always seems to be very quiet. Table was sticky. Food was disgusting, dry and small portions. Toilet was horrible and no toilet roll. Not a very good experience!

Food very good value. Staff extremely helpful and friendly. Good selection of beers. Easy parking. Atmosphere lacking but this was probably because we were early evening, it started to fill up as we were leaving

Really nice cosy pub and food is amazing will defo be stayin again.the new owners am lovely can’t do enough for ya thanks

No food on offer despite menus on all tables, had to move to another venue as a result

Had a great dinner here. Service was great, pub had a great vibe, and our pooch was allowed and tended for. After dinner we moved on to a sofa by the fire.

not a nice pub to go to landlady (manager), very rude to staff and customers

I went with my family for a Christmas lunch and was very disappointed. The new landlord had only been in a week, the lady serving seemed like she didn't want to be there, it wasn't busy as we were the only customers there. We had to ask for christmas crackers for the table and also asked for some Christmas music to be played. The landlord had just got rid of his chef and had his wife cooking the Christmas lunch in the kitchen, presentation well they did their best it seemed to me that they had been put right in the deep end of things. I also had to say to the front of house lady that there was no toilet roll in the ladys toilets at all, a simple thing that should of been checked before opening. We made the best of things but not a good experience and it has probably stopped me from ever returning which is a shame

Lovely country pub recently taken over by new landlord/lady. Had Christmas Festive meal on weekday evening. Food, atmosphere and service were all excellent. Well worth a visit.

Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Live music from the Sound Bar on the second Wednesday of the month

I shall start by saying a huge welcome to the new management who have recently arrived and are going to do their utmost to turn it around because it is long overdue and I think The Bull will be in a much better position now with the new management taking the reigns because the staff that are no longer there were an absolute disgrace towards their profession and the way they treated customers. The new management have quite honestly done the right thing and that is the truth by removing them and when I go there with my family now, I'm fairly confident the atmosphere will be considerably better.

Pool table is very welcome [it costs £1.50] but needs a regular vaccuum clean. The heating was on; lovely jubly. Pleasantly ordinary place, free of snobbery or poshness. Good Guinness at reasonable price. [£5.40 at time of writing]. Good layout indoors plus decent car park and sizeable garden.

The table was booked a couple of weeks ago. Turned up to be told the people had taken over yesterday at the pub and had been left with no provisions. We hadn’t been contacted about this prior to our arrival. The new people had bought food with their own money to provide a roast dinner for us. So thank you to Ben and Deborah! But Marstons need to sort out their communication! What a dispiciple way to run a business.

Staff were friendly however the food was poor and the toilets were grim. Only roasts available which were cold and the meat was too pink. Did accommodate and made chips which were super oily too.

Being from 'up North' we're usually down on places down South... Moan on about the prices, bad beer, or how unfriendly places are. Well, I have to say that I have no complaints whatsoever! You could transport this pub northward and it would be better than most, if not one of the best. Staff were friendly and accommodating, food was great and the atmosphere was cracking. Almost like being at home... Except they talk funny down here. ;-) Thanks for a great meal. Will definitely call in when next around the area.

On arrival at the Bull Inn having made a reservation for lunch we were told there was no chef so no food. We were forced to go elsewhere.

.My wife booked a table for eight for this lunchtime. Phoned on Monday to confirm and make sure that the normal (as opposed to Festive) menu was available. She was told everything was OK. Turned up today as planned and 'It's the chef's day off and there is no food available." Not happy!

Do not deserve any business & have the audacity to send me a survey! Booked a table for 1230 to meet a friend for lunch. This pub was our halfway meeting place & after both parties travelling for an hour, we were told that there was no kitchen & no food. No contact from the pub to let us know & rearrange our plans! Not happy!!

No bitters being shown as available. When asked there was only one which I had. First taste proved it was 'off' I therefore had to make do with a larger. No salt or pepper on the table and steak knives only offered as an afterthought. One steak slightly over done and some mushrooms were like bullets. Asked for coffe but the machine was broken but they did have a kettle! On the plus side the manager did bring a pint of bitter after changing the barrel which was better.

Grim rooms that desperately need a birthday

Great food, lovely staff and beautiful location. Will definitely return

absouloutley stunning, my fav pub xx

I attended the Bull for a Wake midweek lunchtime. Staff made us welcome on arrival, although they had not sorted out the tab beforehand. Slightly embarrassing for the Family that early guests had not been catered for drinks on arrival. Buffet lunch good , for a sausage aficionado, the snorkers looked anaemic and could have done with a few more minutes under the grill. Very comfortable and convivial atmosphere. It's worth a visit.

A nice day for a meal on the terrace.

Went for a Sunday roast with friends and everybody loved it, including a vegan plate. Great service and nice decor.

Arrived to find a number of people waiting to be served. We just wanted drinks. One girl serving, and had to traipse to the card reader in the restaurant for payment each time as the line was down to the bar. All this is OK, but we waited and waited for 15 minutes or so while a second member of staff was just sat down at a table by the bar eating a sandwich. She may have been on a break, but really she could have served us, especially as after we finally got served the two girls spent the next 30 mins or more sat down talking. Not what I call customer service.

Very welcoming staff, food very nice and reasonable priced, all in all very good.

Had a loaded hot baked potato for lunch and it was delicious. Good cider too.

The pub website did not match the pub menu. Service was slow with only one front of house member working.

Covid safe friendly service good pub food and decent beer marquee outside plus open air tables nice atmosphere

Great team and lovely food, can for a Sunday roast and loved it!

The Chicken and Bacon salad is amazing. The wife had fish and loved it too. It was a great atmosphere and the prices were reasonable. I will be returning for the Sunday roast as I was told it’s lovely.

Visited on a friday night for a lasagne and a few glasses of wine. The New Zealand Sauvingon Blanc was the perfect drink to accompany my meal. The bar area was busy and many others were eating, yet service was still fast and friendly.

Went to the Bull two Sundays ago for a couple of delicious Sunday roasts. My mum had the roast beef and I had the vegetarian option. The atmosphere was relaxing and parking wasn’t an issue despite the main road being closed! Will definitely be visiting again soon

Nice pub, roast is average but the service was good, thanks!

Food was reasonably priced but the overall quality was average

Great pub, good food and beer, nice service and well priced.

We visited on a Monday afterwork for a drink, the Bar staff disappeared from the bar as we approached to order, she was unfriendly and didn't say welcome or I'll be with you, or anything to us. She then served another customer who arrived after us, no apology when she finally did serve us. Lovely pub with good range of drinks and an outside area, shame about the staff.

We throughly enjoyed our meal and the service was very good. we are looking foward to going again next saturday

Greeted by lovely staff. We had booked inside but as the sun was shining decided to sit in the garden. The Roast Turkey was lovely as was The Hunters Chicken that my husband had. Always really good food and service

Great pub, restaurant and hotel. Quality of the food and drink is very high. Lovely rooms with super comfy beds.

Bit of a wait for food as they were busy

Had a lovely scampi and chips which was served very hot and good selection of drinks. Live music was great. Super friendly and efficient service. Would definitely return!!

Brilliant pub in a lovely village. Excellent food, friendly and efficient staff and great value for money. Do yourself a favour and put The Bull on your must visit pubs. And you can stay here too.

I had booked a table on line, when I arrived a table had not been reserved. Lots of food off the menu and not available that day. Lasagne was reheated and very hard around the edges, not edible, cheese grilled on top to disguise this! Side salad presented on a hot plate, a definite no no. Asked for some in a cold dish, had to ask twice. Asked for ketchup which came in a tiny bowl, not enough, yet on leaving I spotted that bottled ketchup was offered in other areas of the pub. A member of staff accidentally knocked our table and spilt our drinks, did give us napkins to tidy up with, but didn't offer to replace the drink! Nobody asked if our food was ok. We weren't asked if we wanted to see the dessert menu. Children were running around in the pub after 9 o'clock which isn't ideal. After wanting to revisit for sometime I was actually very disappointed, the pub is very tired looking and not particularly clean.

Great staff and food, recommend! Service was very efficient and the food pipping hot when it came out.

We stayed for 1 night as we had funeral the next day. Very impressed with the room, and our evening meal.

I was taken as a birthday gift. I had to choose the location. I chose the Bull as they do traditional food not expensive plates that have a small amount of so called posh food on the plate. They serve pies with a crust all around it not a dish of meat with a crust on top, that is not a pie. The four of us enjoyed our meals and especially the desserts. The staff were excellent and the food was served quickly.
