Bull Inn in Rochford

Been here many times before but I do think this will be my last food wasn’t bad. The onions ring come up after I started my lunch. My lunch was cold. My wife’s lunch didn’t look like anything that you could recognise as she left it. I’m sorry to say shame because we did like the restaurant. Disappointing lunch.

Went here on Easter Sunday for our anniversary, great cosy atmosphere, excellent food and service, good drinks sellection, Ally our waitress was great, helpful and friendly. This was our third visit here highly recomended

Food was excellent and service was great for a bank holiday. Nutty Karen was indeed nutty but brightened our day. Thanks Karen!

Had a lovely meal with family and friends on Easter Friday. Karen was a super helpful waitress with a good sense of humour! Thank you :)

Two of us visited The Bull for lunch, having easily booked online. We were looked after by Karen, who delivered excellent customer service. The food was served hot and was delicious. A beautiful pub, plenty of parking and a lovely garden. We will definitely be returning.

Many thanks to Ally for amazing service… she was fabulous with my gluten allergy and was knowledgeable about what was available. I felt very safe eating here and would definitely return. Thanks Ally.

Service from Ally was great attentive and friendly. Glad i save room for my pudding, Non alcoholic drinks tasty, sharing platter was yummy. Thank you for a brilliant evening from the peas lady Worth every penny Highly recommend 👌

Very slow to order a pre meal drink but once we were seated the service by Karen was great. The food was good too.

Ally was friendly, helpful and really made our day. She was accommodating with special dietary requirements and makes the best coffee floater! 😉

Ally was lovely, she was happy to accommodate my fussiness and was very friendly.

Ally was great. She was accommodating, friendly and helpful. There was no rushing even though it was a quiet time and our group had a fab time, largely because of her!

We had roast dinners each. vegetables were of poor quality. like frozen vegetables And potatoes roasted to rock hard Not going back

Excellent pub, dog friendly, yummy food, attentive staff, and a great atmosphere. I will definitely return.

Great service and friendly staff

This is our local pub/restaurant. Our server Ally was great as always. Friendly and knowledgeable. It was a birthday so they put a little candle in the pudding. Lovely atmosphere and food

I came for a meal with a friend and her son, so there were three generations there. The food was lovely but in particular our waitress was fantastic. I believe her name was Karen and I think her surname Drummond. I think she needs a rise!

We were served by Shannon today. Nothing was too much trouble. Lovely young lady

Delicious meal today, Ally was lovely as always, friendly atmosphere made by all the staff

My local, love this pub. Sophie behind the bar was very happy and I didn't have to wait more than a minute to be served by her 😁

Great service at the outside bar. Calum was very friendly and helpful.

Great service by Calum at the outdoor bar.

The bull is our local pub. Always good service. Bar staff very good especially callum . So friendly and helpful always polite and just a lovely chap.

Ally was fantastic very pleasant lady who served us well

Had a lovely meal for mother's day! Our waitress Tracey was really friendly and helpful and the food was amazing, no complaints at all. Would highly recommend! Xx

We had lunch and the food was lovely. Our waitress called Karen was very welcoming and nothing was to much trouble for her..

Collin was brilliant at pouring Guinness

Lovely place for a meal and drink.

The team member called Ally gave us amazingly good professional service and made us feel welcome. The food and atmosphere was very good too.

Our waitress Tracey made our evening. She gave us advice on what we ordered which was delicious. We will definitely be going back.

Eleven of us came to Celebrate my husband's Mother's 90th birthday, yesterday (17th March) for lunch. We were on a large table at the end of the pub.(Booking probably in the name of Guest). I was not impressed with the waitress, she was rude and impatient with me. She appeared to want to exclude me (when ordering desserts) so I had to say, "you've forgotten me." Then she didn't ask if I wanted a tea. I said I want a tea. She said "I've done the order now." Though I got a tea. This partly ruined my experience. And will put my husband and myself off returning for a while. Previously we've always had good service here. Disappointing.

Served by Karen who did a fantastic job, thank you Karen.

Pooped on after football on Monday, served by Karen, had a little snack, fast service with a smile,

Nice setting Plenty of parking Food is reasonable, if a little over priced

In addition to previous feedback as for some reason all of my review didn't appear. Had lunch. Very nice thank you. Big guy serving was pleasant and helpful.

My wife and I recently visited The Bull with some of her former colleagues for a night of chatting and laughter, drinks and food. The drinks were soon flowing and we all ordered main meals, which were tasty, brought out in a timely fashion and very tasty! I had the 'mixed grill' which was a spectacular meat feast and I would certainly recommend to anyone in search of a meat/protein fix. Our host Calum was polite, jovial and welcoming. He worked hard to ensure we had a nice evening. However, as a pub I sometimes find the atmosphere/ambience of the pub itself a bit sterile, hence my scores noted today. Other than that, I would certainly recommend you to visit. 🙏🏻🤓

Great lunch had here today. Dropped in half way on a country walk. Served by Ally who was brilliant and looked after us really well. Food was decent pub food and also good value. Pleased to see that there’s now a dog friendly area so will be bringing ours next time. We’ll be back soon.

Lovely Sunday lunch with great service by Shannon

Looked after by Ally today. Great service & food always lovely

Big garden but only two people were able to serve customers. Not great that you have to wait ages to order a drink.

Four of us had a two course meal each with drinks good food service with a smile prompt service good value for money

Came in for a couple drinks with my family and from the get go our server Rosie was more than welcoming. We’ve never been to this venue before because we’re not from the area so Rosie kindly told us what the most popular items on the menu were whilst giving us some knowledge about the town. Food and drinks amazing! Need more servers like Rosie :)

Outstanding service from our table waiter Shannon

Had a lovely roast and excellent service from Shannon - very lovely nice young girl

Friendly helpful staff but didn't rate the food, sorry.

Went for a friend's birthday so there was a big group! Service is awesome and the food is good to, place is looked after well toilets was nice and clean and fresh, and not over priced, will definitely go back

Very nice food and pleasant staff, very enjoyable lunchtime , plenty of choice on menus

Just had a lovely birthday lunch at The Bull Pub. Food was superb and our waitress Karen was very professional and made us feel welcome.

Karen and Callum were very welcoming, professional and helpful. The food and service was excellent.

Very good food, tried the burgers ,lovely. Karen our server was very nice and friendly eventhough it was very busy in there, she was great . We've been quite a few times now, always have nice food

Food is ok, it seems very hot and miss really. Karen served us and she’s looked after us before. She’s always helpful with suggestions and has a great rapport with us all.

Been here on several occasions. The service was very good, food was very nice. I would recommend the Bull to my friends..

We visited on Saturday 15th February booked on line our table was being prepared purchase a drink at the bar then shown to our table. Fantastic service Rebecca looked after us. My husband has a garlic allergy our waitress was so accommodating & checked with the Chef first to what was availa ble. Lovely meal Lovely atmosphere Rebecca even helped me use my Blue light Card 💙

Thank you Kayti for a nice afternoon, good food, good service and friendly environment. Will definitely be coming back 😊

Good food, great service (from Karen), prices OK. We all want them to be cheaper don't we ? But good old Tesco vouchers, so the £10 to £20 food was in reality almost nothing. Atmosphere was good, middle of the afternoon, so it was fairly quiet. Just a great place to eat.

Ali was amazing I have gluten free diet but she was very professional and helpful very reassuring when you have special dietary requirements. Great service.

Ally our waitress was very helpful - a gluten free specialist. She was very knowledgeable and attentive. The food was lovely particularly the giant yorkshire pudding with the roast - great value for money. We would definitely recommend this place.

Had a visit to an old fav pub of ours, used to have a vast menu with plenty of choice and disappointed to find it very limited to just pub grub ! Ordered steak and ale pie and mash , wife ordered duo of chicken and wild rice, arrived promptly but presentation was basic -scoop of mash, roasted carrot, huge 4inch diameter pie ans spoonful of peas and jug of gravy, ( pub grub ) I started my pie , which was flakey pastry lid and short base , it was lacking filling , so much so , I was just eating pastry and gravy..... had to open and dismantle the pie yo find 3 small pieces of steak , that was slightly tough to eat and not at all pleasant - I've had better pucker pies !! So I'd avoid ! My wife's meal looked bland and although she ate 90% it wasn't anything special you would request again . The plus was the service, shame about the food ! Shame really, it used to be a fab little pub .

We both enjoyed the new menu. The black berry balsamic glaze is unbelievable! Great to see The Bull still going strong for our annual Valentine's visit. Thanks to our friendly server Ally for looking after us. See you again soon.

Had a great meal for my mum's birthday. The special during the week for two courses from a set menu is great value.

Popped in for drink after a walk, restaurant was extremely busy

Thoroughly enjoy this Pub since the change of Management. All staff are excellent. Karen needs a special mention - for looking after us!

Karen served us at The Bull tonight and was fab, she was attentive and friendly! Food was lovely also, we’ll defo be back. Great service all round!

This used to be a lovely pub with food but on the last few visits I have been really disappointed. Haven’t been for a while so thought we would try again. The Sunday menu is very reduced and the food was very disappointing. I shouldn’t be surprised as it’s chef and brewer but the roast potatoes looked like the frozen ones from a bag. My husband had burger and chips and there were about 10 chips on the plate. When he asked for more we were charged for another portion.The service was fine and the serving staff were friendly. Definitely won’t be going back anytime soon.

Young staff are friendly, older ones not so much… Fantastic beer garden all year round. Food is mediocre, doesn’t stop me eating in there though. A great local pub however, little expensive.

A lovely pub, with quality food and a good set of staff.

My wife and I had a lovely meal here 08 Feb 25 We was well looked after by Matilda and Rebecca, the service was very good, Would definitely recommend and also The food was lovely. See you soon.

Food was slow and wasn't described too well but nevertheless it was nice

Great food and very friendly staff - especially Ally

Popped in for spontaneous bit of lunch as we was passing by! Our waitress Emma was lovely even when we was fussy and asked to move tables! Will be returning

Served by Ally very helpful and friendly service

Excellent breakfast. Service exceptional. Rebekah served us .She was very friendly and polite.She always goes that “ extra mile “ We eat there regularly and love the atmosphere.

Excellent food and the staff also.

Rosie was a lovely girl your luck to have her working there..... Martin odowd

Only been a couple of time ad recently moved to the area. Food was lovely on our first visit, second time was for hot & cold drinks after a forest walk

Great evening, service was really good. Thanks Karen 🫶🏻

A greater difference to our last visit before Christmas just couldn't be imagined. Ally kept a close but discreet eye on all twelve of us, the food was great, the service was perfect. 10/10 all round.

Had a very nice lunch here today with family served by Ally Good service happy and helpful Thank you

Excellent service by Ally and other staff, quick, friendly and professional. Food was tasty too!

Fantastic Burns meal at The Bull tonight. Excellent food & service. Thank you to Adam and our wonderful waitress for a fantastic evening!

A great night celebrating Scotland's national bard. Thanks to Adam and his team for accommodating our group of 18 on a busy Saturday evening. We all had a fab Burns night. Slainte Mhath!

I'm a single guy and had a flavour for a Sunday roast, even though you were fully booked I was able to grab a table for 1.5hr to enjoy lunch. I can't thank Callum enough.

I visited the bull today and was served by Rosie who was an absolute delight, food was lovely, i definitely recommend visiting for those who haven’t already!

Came here on burns night for their special and was great service as always - thank you Ally!

Lovely lunch, can highly recommend. Karen was so helpful it’s been an absolute joy!

Came to The Bull after a long pub walk. Was greeted and served by Rosie at the bar for the evening who was warm, friendly and made us feel welcome. Would definitely come back!

We came for the Burns Night menu and have to say the food was very nice and Service top notch from a lovely Karen.

Fab meal, and fantastic service from Ally! Thank you :)

Karen who served us was friendly, bubbly personality and served us very well

Fish and chips absolutely wonderful! Very friendly and professional service by Karen. Thank you

Our waitress Karen was so friendly and helpful. She made us feel at home right away. Food was pretty good but not outstanding.

The food was excellent, we had the lamb shank shepherds pie which was very tasty, Karen our server was great, very welcoming and friendly nothing was too much trouble.

Food overpriced for what you get

Very nice and cosy Very dog friendly If your out being walked by pooche pop in

Karen was amazing. Great food and atmosphere.

Great meal sitting in the bar area with our dogs - Kayti and Callum were both very accommodating and great service from the team.

Fantastic breakfast at The Bull. Kayti and Rebekah were so welcoming and looked after us really well. Very friendly and engaged with my young children. Even the temperature of the children’s hot chocolate was made perfect for children. Food was fantastic. Thanks so much

Kind, friendly, attentive and discreet staff (Leah), swiftly delivered our orders which were delicious. We had the camembert sharing starter and the lamb shank Shepherds Pie - both cooked to mouth watering perfection.

Went for dinner today at the bull this evening, got served by the lovely leah who was instantly friendly and welcoming. She carried on checking on us and wasn’t hesitant to ask if we want anything more. Made the expirence 10/10 :)

Enjoyed meal. Karen served us and she was very friendly and efficient.

Lovely Pub/Restaurant, lovely atmosphere, depending of what you choose from the menu, I definitely would not recommend the Salmon Fish Cake, with cream cheese with running egg, and rocket, It was absolutely Awful, just consisted of a very small burnt up piece of fish cake, maybe half a teaspoon of dried up salmon with nothing else. In it ,I've had salmon florintine before which was lovely but was told this was off the menu?.
