Great service & delicious food ! I had the vegan burger and it was 10/10. I thought the pickle on the top was a nice touch! Welcoming staff and very helpful :) Will be coming back for more! Iโd love to see some more vegan options / could change into vegan on the special menu ๐

We stopped here as it was conveniently just off the M4 on our route home back to Essex. As it was a Sunday afternoon we pre-booked a table but got stuck in traffic, we phoned ahead and they were absolutely fine and said they would hold our table until we arrived. The staff are really friendly and the food was really good and more than fairly priced. Would 100% recommend and will stop again if we're ever coming past.

There was a wait to order food at the bar but no more than you would expect on at lunchtime on a sunny Friday. The staff let us know that the kitchen was busy and that there would be a delay on any food order before we ordered. The wait for the food was about the length of time that we were advised. The food was well presented and very tasty.

My initial review was glitched by bad connection so I am redoing it. Working close to Theale this is our local for lunch and evening meals when we are able. Good food and beer and sometime cricket on the TV. Parking can be an issue so be careful if you are in the car.

Good solid pub. Food is of good quality and quantity. A number of beers on tap and a good selection of wines. It has a few TV screens showing sport but volume levels are not intrusive. Parking limited but there's a public carpark in a two minute walk which is free in the evenings anyway and all day Sunday.

It's an OK but not happy with the fact that a small snack is not allowed into the premises i was going to point out the fact that my partner has a medical condition where he needs to eat a snack to keep his sugar levels up to stop him from having a fit. The way that they spoke to use was unacceptable saying they it was not on. Never going back again. In not trying to troll

First time visiting to kill some time while waiting for a bus to reading ( the bus stop is right outside). Immaculately presented oldie worlde corner pub with a nice selection of beers & lagers though light on independent ales. Brisk friendly service. Didn't eat here but it's a roomy venue and lots of people were and food looked good enough that I would come back to check it out. Outside tables and benches looked ideal for summer beers... May well bump this rating to a 5 when I come back. First impression: very good.

The Bull Pub is a great place to celebrate a birthday. The atmosphere is lively and fun, and the staff is friendly and attentive. We had a large group, and they were able to accommodate us without any problems. The food was delicious, and we had a great time. I would definitely recommend The Bull Pub to anyone looking for a great place to celebrate a birthday. Here are some specific details about our experience: * The atmosphere is lively and fun. The pub is always crowded, but it's not too loud or overwhelming. There's a big screen TV that plays sports games, and there's a live band playing music on the weekends. * The staff is friendly and attentive. Our server was great. He was very helpful in making recommendations, and he made sure that we had everything we needed. * The food is delicious. We had a variety of dishes, and everything was cooked perfectly. The portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable. * We had a great time. We would definitely recommend The Bull Pub to anyone looking for a great place to celebrate a birthday. Here are some pros and cons of The Bull Pub: Pros: * Lively atmosphere * Friendly staff * Delicious food * Reasonable prices Cons: * Can be crowded * Not the most kid-friendly place Overall, we had a great time at The Bull Pub. We would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to celebrate a birthday.

Went for Sunday lunch. Due to health issues our party of four had to isolate and sit outside, it was a cold wet January day, but the staff were so helpful. They brought out cushions and blankets and an outside heater.. The food was excellent - lovely roast dinners and great puddings which we all enjoyed. Thank you! The inside area looked lovely- we look forward to returning and eating inside!

8 of us went to this restaurant today. It was absolutely flawless, the staff were very friendly and helpful (we had a tall man, who's name I can't remember), the food was delicious and catered to all including the children. The facilities were very clean and there was a very calm and welcoming environment. Highly recommend. We're going to make this our regular meeting place.

A Thursday evening and a table for two with my wife. No booking needed for this time. We both had starters and mains but unfortunately no room for puds. A very relaxing environmemnt and the service was exemplary. The drinks and food were served very promptly and with a smile. The server was very engaging and most helpful in describing the specials - very customer focused. Music was "respectful" and did not swamp our conversation. Parking was easy but limited, but we arrived early so had a choice of spots. We both had a lovely time and I have no hestitation whatsoever in recommending the Bull at Theale. I also understand that they are Dog Friendly.

Still the best pub in village for food, very good quality however mistakes are still sometimes made. I was there for a sunday lunch a couple of days ago. I had Roast Turkey Christmas dinner, it was good though unfortunately marred by carrots that were rock hard and very undercooked. Im a pretty good cook myself so my sugar pea pods were also a bit more crunchy than i like, however this is personal choice. BUT Undercooked carrots are not.

We had our wedding reception at the Old Boot on the 7th September and it's hard to put into words how amazing the team were in making it such a memorable day/evening. Mel and Michael were amazing in the run up to the event. Totally calm and collected in planning. Things I was worrying about where instantly addressed and my slightly frantic Bridal brain was put at easy at every turn. The Tepees and garden looked incredible! ALL The staff were charming from start to finish. The food was EPIC...some of the best I've ever tasted at a wedding, all the while feeling very relaxed and unstuffy. EVERY guest has commented since on the amazing venue so I would strongly advise anyone looking for somewhere in the area to go try it out. Brilliant!

Lovely sunny garden with plenty of seating and shade. Excellent varied menu from which I chose the smoked salmon and then a ribeye steak. My partner had pigeon and then monk fish all of which arrived piping hot and was very tasty - we cleared our plates! Definitely would recommend this pub both for a drink and for food. The garden is lovely, they are dog friendly and the interior has had a stylish makeover which makes sitting inside a pleasure
