Popped in here at the end of our Oak Forest Trail on Sunday. The place was busy with a mixture of locals and other walkers who clearly had the same idea as us. Despite it being so busy we were served quickly, food arrived quick and was hot. Staff really friendly. Would definitely go back if we were in the area.

Twelve of us visited on 9th September and as usual the food was excellent, the staff very helpful as I am disabled. We very often come here for lunch and we have never had a bad meal yet. We have already booked for Christmas. Well done to all the staff for bringing our meals out altogether which must have been a a bit hard as we all had different things except for a few who had the ribs which proved to be very popular. Thank you for making our lunch very enjoyable.Best wishes to all at The Bull

We celebrated my Mum's 97th birthday gathering at The Bull. They provided a fantastic buffet. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was relaxed. Everyone at The Bull were very helpful and caring. I highly recommend them for an event or just a meal.

It was a busy Sunday afternoon when I visited. The staff were run off their feet. Having said that, the lamb roast was very nice. My only complaint was that the gravy was already on the plate rather than putting it on yourself. Also, the staff failed to mention there was a specials board, which I only noticed when I left.

For my second visit I booked a table for 7 at the Bull for a family meal. The pub has a real comfortable oldy worldy feel with a great atmosphere. The menu has something for everyone with a daily specials board offering delicious homemade pies and other goodies.. The service was fantastic , the food very tasty, was presented really nicely and hot and fresh . Overall a very enjoyable experience with well executed traditional pub grub and service with a smile . We will definitely be back again

After a hike, we decided to stop by this pub for some food and to watch the Community Shield game. At first, we weren’t sure if they had the channel, but the lady who served us went out of her way to check, and they did! She was very friendly and recommended the best dishes to try. The food was delicious, and the customer service was excellent. It’s a perfect spot to relax after a hike. Highly recommend!

Classic British Pub with high standard traditional pub menu and excellent service. Staff adapted quickly to the needs of one of our guests who has severe hearing loss, as they were able to turn down the music in the area of the restaurant they directed us to and helpfully seated us away from the noisy coffee machine. This still meant that the rest of the pub and restaurant had music out of speakers at the normal level, therefore not impeding other clients enjoyment. This made our table's experience so much better. Thanks to the staff who made this happen.

We were driving around looking for somewhere to eat then i saw a sign post for Theydon Bois , a haunt in my younger days. Drove through the village thinking to ourselves it has no pubs , just as we were exciting we found The Bull, and what a great find it was .Great family atmosphere, helpfull staff and smashing food, The roast was to die for and so filling , we came away without having a pudding which is not the norm for us .Watch out The Bull we will return .

Poor lunch was had. The soup and sandwich option which I've had before was very disappointing this time round. The soup bowl has shrunk to half the size it was. Also the thin cut bread and a few fish fingers thrown in was poor. Great staff as usual but half the food for same price is not on.

We had a family party at The Bull for my father in laws 80th birthday. The whole event from start to finish was absolutely brilliant. Sally, Steve and their team were so helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The buffet was absolutely lovely, plentiful and tasty, lots to go around. I’d recommend The Bull for any type of event, a party, Sunday roast or just for a drink, a really friendly place to relax or celebrate with family and friends. Thanks to everyone for making our party such a success.

Four of us went to The Bull for Sunday Lunch. I must say that I was impressed with our various waitresses. They were all hard-working, polite and efficient and it was busy. Three out of the four of us thoroughly enjoyed lunch. I found it ok, but nothing special. Starter size was small for £9.50. Main was a good-sized portion. Desserts quite small. Although the food was presented nicely, for me there was just something about my starter & main that I did not enjoy. Cannot really put my finger on it, but neither of these first two courses went down well and I felt sick afterwards. Let mew make it clear, the food was fresh and definitely not off - but it laid on me and wasn't the best taste I'd experienced. Would we go again? I think the three others probably would, but personally I would not. Well done to the waitresses though.

Our friends had chicken pie and Poached Salmon, both were apparently delicious. Only two for desserts and they did not disappoint. Both had the fruit crumble I had custard and Pat had ice cream with hers. One of the best crumble I have had. Great value and wonderful atmosphere.

Visited here last year and was not disappointed, due to go again at Christmas but due to one persons health problem at the time we had to cancel, visited again on 22nd, and if possible it was even better than our last meal there, the pub and restaurant were very busy, so a little bit of a wait for the main course, but that was not a problem, food was hot and the portions were great, and the ice cream desserts were large and wonderful, going back again, great value for the money too.
