Delicious steak, in fact best one I have had in a restaurant. My fellow diners also enjoyed their meals. Attentive friendly service. We will return soon.

Popped into the newly reopened Bull at Barkham on Boxing Day afternoon. Such a beautiful building and a friendly lady serving behind the bar but we were left a little underwhelmed. The place reeked of dirty cooking oil. There was no Diet Coke/Pepsi Max/Diet Pepsi on tap so I had to buy a small expensive glass bottle of Diet Coke. The ladies’ loos did not smell great - and of the two cubicles only one had any loo paper. The men’s, apparently, smelled very unpleasant. It was disappointing because we’d hoped it would become a regular pleasant pitstop while on a country walk. Looking at the menu online, it appears that they don’t like vegetarians very much. In the Pub Classics section, the only non-meat offering is a vegan burger. There are vegan options for the Thai curries but no detail on what it is. Why do so many places these days leap from meat dishes to vegan options only? I have no interest in vegan “burgers”, tofu, “chickn” or any other meat substitute. What about a lovely vegetarian pasta or gnocchi dish? Even a good macaroni cheese would be fine.

Been a regular visitor over the years and seen it change hands many times! Place was empty and did not feel warm and welcoming. Menus are now laminated with food on one side and drinks on the other, felt a bit cheap! The food was OK but nothing special. Price was well above average locally with two mains, a beer and a soft drink costing £50.

We went to the Bull last night, 17th March. I can say without doubt it was the worst meal I’ve ever had here. Food was plentiful but 1/2 plateful of dry tasteless chunky chips, coupled with a plateful of tasteless salad, no sign of the honey mustard dressing which would have made it more palatable & hiding 4 pieces of dried up meat, that had obviously been cooked and then warmed up. The fish and chips were also disappointing with the fish batter oozing fat. The halloumi was dry and tasteless, again paired with Salad and no sign of the dressing. This was a birthday celebration and really put a dampener on the evening. We shan’t be going back in a hurry. Shame as it used to be a decent pub with good food.

We took our son and his two daughters here after finding the nearby Leathern Bottle fully booked. We were welcomed despite not having a reservation. Kids food went down well. The beef curry, ribs and burger ordered by the adults were all great. Only complaint is that it was lacking a bit in atmosphere. Would recommend heartily for food quality though.

This is the first time we have been. In general the food was ok, but there were 2 items that were outstanding (Panacota) with forest fruits and the Winter Warmer (Hot Chocolate and Baileys Cream) so well done on that. When we arrived the staff (2) were very attentive and our main order came out ok, but towards the end had to find the waitress to order the sweet. The resautrant ambience itself was reasonable, but the tables were sticky. I think it is trying to be something its not and that's a great restaurant. The prices were to high for the standard of food. Its not really a family restaurant to bring your children. But on the plus side its a good pub to bring your mates for a few drinks

After our last few visits and the problems we experienced, I have to say that going for a drink here is now a nice pleasant place to visit. The manager/owner were very quick to look into the concerns we had and made very swift changes ( the group of people with terrible behaviour have been barred) . The staff cannot do enough for you and are very friendly. I would, now, highly recommend the Bull, with it's nice atmosphere and shady garden on a hot sunny day.

This is the first time I have visited The Bull and was very disappointed. One person ordered the duck sprig rolls and could not taste any duck. The chicken strips starter just tasted of oil that was off. The pad Thai main was tasteless and oily. I ordered chicken Katsu, Chicken again tasted of oil there was barely any curry sauce what there was was thin. The waitress also did not understand much we asked her and mess up the bill. I wish now i had read recent reviews Obviously, I will not be back.

The staff are friendly and no issues generally on service. Our party ordered a mix of items off the Thai menu and Sunday lunch specials. The roast lamb was very bottom end, with cuts of meat looking like slices from a supermarket packet and the vegetables dull and steamed. The Thai curries were reasonable, but a lot of the starters were again bottom end beige Iceland type stuff. The menu is priced at the mid end for Berkshire, so not cheap. Go somewhere else, you can do a lot better.

Service was really slow. Long time between drinks and starters, and lack of communication between waiters and kitchen meant it took over an hour to get the main course because the kitchen didn't start preparing the food. The only apology that could give was offering some prawn crackers. The food was good but not worth the wait.

We have been coming to this place for a few years now, such a shame after the change of hands it’s all gone a little pear shaped.Our greeting was non existent, and in silence, we waited 40 minutes for a drink to be brought to our table, and hour for our starter which our 5 year old had to sit and watch us eat as they had forgotten her meal.No apology from the owner. In fact when it got busier he seemed to vanish.Won’t be rushing back here again

Served a drink quickly but had to wait an hour for menus. Gave up waiting so left money on table and ordered take away from Red Lion instead. Not fault of waiting staff, problem clearly with the management. Three other tables saying same thing. One table had to wait 15 mins for cutlery whilst food got colder. Greek owners need to sort out the organisation now pubs are open otherwise this place will fail...

Been using this local pub for a number of years. Atmosphere has gone downhill. Service is appalling. The manager was very apologetic for the "lateness" of our drinks on 4 occasions. We waited 20 minutes for a beer each time and for the 15 for the bill. Ended up having to go into the pub to pay. Only ever one person taking orders then coming back out to 1 table 15 to 20 minutes later. Not enough staff. Needs a quick learning curve or we will sadly go elsewhere.

It looks like the Thai menu is back which is great news! Had a takeaway last week but they do need to make up their minds as to when they are opening! We were supposed to be having lunch takeaway last Friday and then today after being told their opening times. Firstly Friday didn’t happen because they changed to Saturday and Sunday only and now today they’ve changed yet again to opening only at 3. So yet again let down and have had to change plans. I know it’s difficult in these lockdown times but I only spoke to someone a couple of days ago!!!

We used to love the Thai food down here, not sure what has happened but the Thai food was not up to scratch, I could make better at home. I also didn’t get a Roti with my meal as described on the menu but was offered extra prawn crackers or pita bread as an alternative, which I turned down.Service was good though a little over bearing, this is a local family pub, I do not need to have the waiting staff topping up my wine and water, feels slightly uncomfortable though this I would expect at the Dorchester. Might try the Greek food next time, shame as this was the best place to get Thai food by miles.

Taking over a successful business generally goes in one of two directions. It continues to be successful or goes downhill. We’ve been happily using this pub for years and more recently for takeaways with their familiar Thai dishes and Sunday roasts. Portions are now smaller and meat quantity on the roasts has reduced. Some Thai dishes have been removed from the menu and replaced with overpriced Greek dishes and a different chef has now been brought in. Reports from friends are not good ranging poor service, bad food and just before the recent lockdown, bad social distancing of tables and statements that they wouldn’t be going back. Our latest roast takeaway had soft vegetables and my wife’s roast beef had a noticeably reduced quantity of meat. Unless things change, this well loved pub is on a downhill trajectory. For success, customer satisfaction is paramount!

I’ve been going to the bull at Barkham for years & never been disappointed.I noticed this lockdown it’s got a new name Lemoni? Not sure if it’s changed hands but somethings changed because the portions sizes for the roasts are much smaller then they used to me.Pad Thais are still good size, but need work on the roasts portion size and potato’s were roasties. Maybe I just have a big belly but my 1 year old could eat this

We chose to go here as a last hurrah before we were all plunged into the second lockdown. We'd been here for lunch previously. My son in law was looking forward to a Thai menu but under...new owners? the extensive Thai menu (extensive being reduced in these Covid times I fully appreciate) has been pared downn to a very mixed menu. The odd Thai dish is these but there seemed to be more Greek dishes now that were very expensive.Firstly let me say that both my daughter and I fully enjoyed the Prawn Pad Thai - my first - it was yummy.My son in law had a very strange cut of pork where there was very little meat on the huge bone. The waitress saw him struggling and brought over a steak knife. The chips looked very anemic as though they had barely been in the deep fat fryer.My husband wanted the stifado - they'd sold out- so he opted for the lamb shank on potato puree- barely mashed mash and a tiny dribble of gravy for £20!! .There was not the option to order veg to go with it. Who wants a greek salad with mash and gravy!! He was very disappointed. I think the chef needs to rethink the menu. As it stands, nice as our waitress was, we will not be returning.

If it wasn't for a few of the old staff still working, we'd likely avoid this place since being taken over. The few Thai dishes remaining are superb and perfect but new menu contains too many overpriced Greek dishes which, like Lemoni in Reading, are below par. New owners not particularly friendly which is a real shame. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Too much change and another great local spoilt. Bring back a full Thai menu please!!!

I feel the new management has dropped the ball in a spectacular way. We had to wait ages before they came for our drinks order. Then the starter was average at best. The less said about cold chips a Greek salad with the moussaka (over priced for its size) appeared to be lettuce off cuts that wouldn’t have been enough feed a dying rabbit. The prawn curry only 5 prawns far less than normal the lamb shank arrives as everyone else is almost finished and at that point it was not wanted. The cheese on toast once my friend got home went down a treat.,On the bright side the experience was so bad the manager Agreed and said we didn’t have to pay for anything. Let’s hope they get things sorted out very quickly or I feel it will be another pub closing. Which is shame because we gave had numerous meals there without issue. Sorry our friends birthday meal was not up to scratch well we will plan for next year but it won’t be The Bull

We are so sad that this pub has changed hands. It has been a family favourite for years and we've never had a bad experience.. until tonight. The old staff who remain are still fantastic but unfortunately they were so rushed off their feet with a jam packed restaurant that their job was made very difficult. Whilst we encountered a number of issues (being brought a bottle of wine that hadn't been opened and having to take it to the bar ourselves, having to ask 3 times for water, one of the three meals arriving 10 minutes later than the rest, small portions for high prices) the main reason I am writing this review is because of the complete disregard to the current covid situation. Where the previous owners were only seating customers at every other table, every single table was filled and my dad was sat back to back with the table behind. A man was also vaping (appeared to be the owner's friend) inside! We ordered the specials (which are Greek now rather than Thai) but sadly the food was average at best and took far too long to come out. Overall we are really sad that the pub has changed hands and will no longer be regular customers.

I'm gutted to write this, as this is one of my favourite restaurants (because their chicken Katsu is delicious) but there was ZERO adherence to social distancing. The person who took my drinks order was virtually on my lap when I ordered it, and as previous comments have mentioned they served the drinks as opposed to letting us take them off the tray. I was with my parents and I decided that this was enough for me to leave, as I did not feel safe. I will NOT be returning.

I visited this pub with my boyfriend and Dad today. We have lived around here for a year and this was my 2nd visit. It's taken so long as we weren't greeted with warm welcome last time but gave them another opportunity as my dad likes country pubs and it is very pretty.We waited at the bar for 5 minutes... eventually a lady came out (I assume the landlady) who didn't apologise for keeping us waiting) and rudely said 'are you here for food?'. As the answer was no, we were told to get outside in garden and she would come to us. It was pouring with rain so very pleasant...She came out and took our order; when the drinks came she was so so close to me I moved over as she was practically touching me! She touched the glasses rather than the advise of.leaving the tray etc. My dad commented about his drink being too cloudy to drink and she bit his head off and.refused to exchange it. It was a very confrontational conversation. Not what you expect when you're paying £15 for 3 drinks.She continued to come way too close to each of us. I will NEVER return to this pub whilst this rude woman runs it.I don't normally write bad reviews but money is tight for every one and therefore this was a treat and ruined by her rudeness and ability to be safe. It made me even more mad that she had cheap signs about covid and social distancing when she was totally oblivious of it herself. I would much rather go to my other local, The Walter Arms.

We had a very good takeaway with The Bull at the beginning of lockdown and decided to go back for a second time. Everyone was very friendly and, once again, we decided to book a 3rd takeaway for Fathers Day. We opted for the ribs as usual, but decided to call the pub 2 weeks before Fathers Day to find out whether they would still be providing a takeaway service and if so, what notice they would need for us to book it. They advised that a weeks notice would be sufficient, so we booked with a weeks notice and all was fine. On Fathers Day, 15 mins before we were due to collect the meal, we were advised that the ribs were no longer available, but we could have sausage and mash or egg and chips as an alternative. Firstly, surely The Bull would have known long before we were due to collect the meal that the ribs were no longer available and secondly we could have cooked egg and chips or sausage and mash at home. We called The Bull the following day to speak to the owner to find out what the problem was, but were told he wasn't there so we left a contact number for him to return our call. We still haven't heard anything. In these difficult times I would have thought that any new customers would be a blessing, but obviously not. So we will just wait until the 4th July when all the other restaurants will be open for business.

I was quite disappointed. I ordered 4 vegan Thai dishes. The curries were great (Red and Panang) but the two pad thai dishes were just sticky noodles with a very small amount of vegetables mixed in. At £12 per dish, this was very poor. The prices are pretty much the same as the restaurant so I was expecting the same quality.

Totally recommend The Bull at Barkham if you fancy a take away. Superb meal this evening for a birthday celebration and top marks to our local pub for making an effort and carrying on in this time of difficulty. Distancing rules and masks in use on collection and every effort being made. A tip though, if you do use them give them plenty of notice, it’s a pub not a dedicated take away so don’t expect a 30 minute turnaround, phone well ahead as they are undoubtedly busy. Well done Mike and Lily, be seeing you for a drink soon

This was our second visit to the Bull. Again really good Thai food. Nice country pub with a good selection of beers. The service is great and the staff very friendly and welcoming. Would recommend.

Excellent Thai food and service. Love coming here. The chef made us a vegetable Thai Green curry without the fish sauce and the owner said they can do that for most of the Thai food. As a vegetarian I love all their food. Wide choice of menu. Please keep up the good work.

Although advertising a Thai menu, this pub does do smashing food of varying types. We went as a couple and had good food and drink which was reasonably priced. Staff were a little lacking when you wanted another drink or the bill, but we did go early evening when they were likely to be preparing for the forthcoming busy period.

The restaurant is beautiful and exude old-English charm. Inside, it is quite big, very clean and a warm atmosphere. The staff were very friendly and efficient. The big surprise was they served mostly Thai dishes. Well, that's fine with us. The food was good but not exceptional.

My friend and I had a very enjoyable Thai fish dish each. The presentation of the food was very good and both of us were very happy with our choices. We both like desserts so decided on different cheesecakes. Again presentation and taste could not be faulted.

Having decided to go for a walk, we came across this fantastic pub or gastropub to be more precise. The feel of a country pub is still very present with an amazing Thai Food menu.

Whether you just want to go in for a few drinks, or a full meal this is a great place to go. Great menu with a mix of both classic pub food and Thai dishes.

My friend and I had dinner at the Bull on a Thursday evening. It was very busy so we were very glad that we’d booked a table that morning! We both had the Thai food which was incredible - particularly the ‘prawn on toast’ (prawn toast!) and prawn pad Thai. We received a very friendly welcome when we arrived. All the staff (in particular our waiter Aarun) were chatty and pleasant, nothing was too much trouble for them. We’ll be back!

To be honest, we booked this by mistake, we thought we'd booked another restaurant close by - however, we are so glad we went. From the start the staff were so friendly and attentive, without being over bearing. We were pleasantly surprised it was mainly a Thai Menu - but the food was delicious. We had a couple of elderly relatives with us who only wanted small portions and the staff could not have been more accommodating for us.

Since going to the bull for the first time a few months ago, I have been back three times! The Thai food is amazing, my partner went for the ribs which he said were amazing. I had the beef in garlic which was incredible, had a lovely table next to the window. The staff are very friendly and really look after you. Couldn't recommend this place anymore!

Visited Thursday evening with friends. Service was great, food was really good too. Had squid to start, it was perfectly cooked. Then Thai beef with chilli and garlic for main which was lovely too. Only issue with this place is that it’s on a busy road. Otherwise, highly recommend!

We stopped in at the Bull on the way home tonight with the kids (11 & 8) for dinner tonight and had some great Thai food... All of us loved the duck spring rolls we shared as a starter and the chili beef and green curry were among the best we have ever had.

First visit here since reopening.Good selection of Thai dishes on offer and spices can be adjusted to suit your palate. I had mine with extra heat and it was well balanced with the other flavours too. The tempura prawns were juicy, cooked to perfection, crisp tempura and not oily. Ticked all the boxes. Friendly staff. Reasonable prices.

Booked evening meal here under eat out help out scheme so knew place might be busy. Food when it arrived was really nice but limited in size. I had 10 chips with my steak and no side salad- £4 for added side salad which was 1/2 a Tesco green salad bag with a drizzle of dressing. Service was limited to put it mildly, whilst not rude waitress never smiled and was wearing no ppe at all. Was also never asked for another drink and had to semi beg for salt for said 10 chips.Real annoyance though was the 12.5% tip added on- for what?!! I do usually tip so may have added maybe a £5 anyway but our ‘compulsory’ tip was a fair bit more. Grudgingly as the waitress was hard to catch the eye of we paid it, (although I do note that I could have had removed but decided that may take another 15 minutes.) However I really don’t expect to visit again. There are after all many more friendly and nice places to eat in Wokingham.
