The Bull Hotel Pub in Wokingham

Lovely village pub. Stayed here while on a cycle trip from London. Highly recommend! Comfortable room, great food and very friendly and helpful staff. I had to leave my bike outside for a few hours and when I returned to it, I found that they had protected the seat from the rain with a plastic bag and cloth - without me even asking them to!

My husband and I had a fantastic roast here today. The food was absolutely superb, lovely atmosphere with a roaring log fire and friendly service. Will definitely be back!

Regularly stay here whilst working in the area. The food is excellent, the staff are welcoming and attentive and nothing is too much trouble. I often stay in the big chain hotels in other areas but would much rather find another Bull Hotel wherever I find myself. Hard to beat, I will return.

Had a bit of trouble finding somewhere to park. Once inside, very cosy. Lovely log fire.. Staff were very good. Mum wasn't taken by the choice of starters, and didn't have one. I had the Pate which was perfect... Roast dinners were great. Nice to see an additional jug of gravy brought with the meals. Overall, highly recommend

Best place for a delicious bite to eat—of all the places we had been to this little gem was tops! Best food around and perfect charm—doesn’t get much better than this.

We walked in and were served by two lovely ladies, they ensured we had a great evening with excellent service, food and drink topped off with Irish Coffees! Great atmosphere and decor, will most definitely be back.

Adore this atmospheric and very clean old world pub. The staff are friendly and the food very good. The lunchtime sandwiches are especially good, as are the hearty pies--it is considered a feat to finish one!

Decided to try out for lunch today, having driven past so many times. Wow, what a lovely experience! The pub is an olde worlde establishment, but bright and spotlessly clean with a welcoming inglenook fireplace with a warm fire burning. Staff were well trained and attentive, and really among some of the best hospitality staff I have encountered for a long time. We ordered, and my (picky!) partner asked for some variations to her dish - absolutely no problem. We were subsequently told that her dish was cooked fresh, and we may have to wait for about 20 minutes, but this only helped to manage our expectations. Wine list was perfectly adequate, and we had a lovely chilled white Rioja (nice alternative to Chablis!). The food was excellent and honest, and I look forward to our next visit for Sunday lunch which I am assured is fabulous! Based on our experience today, I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending!

This is a really traditional, olde worlde pub of small proportions, but with a big warm traditional welcome from the Landlady, Jayne! The Bull has a very homely and cosy atmosphere. The food is all properly home made and absolutely delicious. I had the smoked salmon pate, followed by chilli and lime chicken. Both were beautifully presented, arrived piping hot and were very tasty indeed. We felt very much at home here ... it was so relaxing. A great experience.

Our village favourite Burger and Scampi very good Beer excellent The menu and wine list changes look great Service very good The pub is dog friendly - ours get served their own treats - thanks Jayne

We came as a family of 6 for Sunday lunch as we had previously had a fantastic takeaway meal from here. There were signs up saying if you have an allergy or intolerance we are happy to help. Well our Waitress wasn’t helpful at all and seemed rushed so I ordered a bag of plain crisps as my starter! The food was good apart from the potatoes which were hard and yellow inside. The beef wasn’t great. We ordered two children’s meals and were astonished to find we were charged £14 per kids meal. 3 chicken goujons and some chips ! Unfortunately we will not be returning . It’s far too expensive for the quality of food.

Lunch on Friday last was terrific Haddock and Chips, Scampi and Chips as good as it gets Very nice Kiwi Sauvignon Blanc, and well kept Brakspears The new menu and wine list both look terrific - our 2 favourite wines - Sancerre and Fleurie This Pub is dog friendly

We are currently working our way around local pubs trying out Sunday lunches. Great way to help local business and great excuse for a Sunday treat in these testing times. There are a number of good reviews for the Bulls roast and they are spot on! Plentiful, nice and fresh tasting. We had both pork and beef. Both very good. Lovely veg (including cauliflower cheese and red cabbage). Plenty of gravy. At £15 a throw I felt It was good value. We will certainly repeat the experience. Only drawback is that I now need to rest my eyelids for a short while.......

Sat here podged after an excellent takeaway Sunday lunch. Quality food, large portions, covid secure pick-up, good price. I had the beef, my wife the pork both were fantastic. Well done and thank you to Jayne and team.

Dropped in for dinner whilst on a cycle ride through the town. A nice traditional English bar with really friendly staff. We had the “real mans” steak pie which was delicious, my wife had the fresh haddock fish and chips which melted in her mouth they were so fresh.

I have eaten here twice in the last 4 weeks and was impressed by the quality of the food on both visits. My first meal was whitebait followed by Whitby scampi and chips which were both very well cooked and generous helpings. My son had the Calamari followed by scampi and he was equally impressed. I went again yesterday and had the haddock and chips. Once again extremely well cooked in a tempura style batter using delicious fish and another generous helping. My friends had one fish and chips and one liver and bacon and they were very pleased with their food. Service on both occasions was very friendly and efficient. Highly recommended.

A wonderful Sunday Lunch. Probably the next we have ever had. Tasty and homemade. Starters and puddings absolutely fabulous. A great find.

After both I and my wife seperately tried to book a table (ending up with 1 table over 2 nights) we made it to The Bull last night. Well organised (C-19 standards) a warm and friendly welcome took us to enjoy a lovely meal.Jayne and her team run a great pub venue for traditional beers and food.We will return very soon.

Thanks jayne & ur team for welcoming us with open arms. Beautiful food and location topped off what was a pleasurable wknd. Thanks for taking care of our every need during our short stay... ❤ from the most tattooed guy you had ever seen. 😉

Stayed here this weekend. On arrival we were made to feel very welcome. The rooms are all decorated beautifully and all have en suite. The beds are so comfortable and I slept really well. The menu has a good range of choice which is amazing with very generous portions and all cooked fresh. Lovely quaint little garden that was peaceful to sit in, enjoy your food and drinks and relax. Sunday roast is by far the best I’ve had dining out. A1+ all round and the place is kept absolutely spotless. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay here and credits go to Jayne and her lovely staff for customer care, friendliness, and all round hard work keeping things running smoothly. It was a pleasure to meet and chat with you Jayne and I wish you every success for the future %. Thank you so much for everything you did for us and we will definitely be returning in the future. Elaine

Lovely lunch last Friday - great Haddock Goujons and Scampi Brakspears at its best Dog friendly too Come on locals - support your local pub - Jayne's there for you

Lovely dinner in the garden. Social distancing measures in place and everyone seemed to be adhering to. Great pies, as usual, and super service. A really nice treat. Thank you Jayne and team.

Atendimento excelente, local acolhedor, e comida excepcional, em especial o prato de purê de batata com linguiça!!

We have lunched at this pub quite a few times and also stayed there. Always there is a great welcome and the food is really excellent

Jayne makes the best Sunday lunch, we keep going back, It’s just the best ever, lovely fresh veg, plenary of meat, huge Yorkshire’s, crispy roasted potatoes, extra gravy if requested. But remember to book in advance.

We eat often at The Bull and are never disappointed. We hadn’t been to Sunday Lunch in a while and I didn’t think it could get any better but it has. I had the roast pork, husband chose the beef. Both were served with great roasted potatoes, Yorkshire pups and absolutely fab veggies, Swede, cauliflower and broccoli cheese and red cabbage. We managed room for a cracking sticky toffee pudding. All in all it was a fabulous lunch, great friendly service and lovely atmosphere.

Friendly staff, warm and cosy bar and superb tasty food. Recommend cottage pie and the vegetarian vegetable pie.

Just back from a really good Sunday lunch at The Bull. Tasty and succulent roast beef with yorkshire pudding and plentiful dishes of vegetables. Pudding for me was apple and blackberry crumble with ice cream. Pub beautifully decorated ready for Christmas. Pleasant and friendly staff. We will be back.

We were lucky enough to get a table a the Bull today, the bar service was brilliant, I love the free nibbles on the bar. And OMG the roast was just the best, we went for the lamb today and it was fabulous, the roasties were lovely, the Yorkshires were huge, the veg Was delicious and top marks for the gravy (I’m a gravy girl and I make good gravy, the Bulls was lush).Have already booked for a few more dates.This is one place you can’t miss. But book a table in advance.Thanks Jane, lunch was fab

Lovely quiet area to dine and enjoy a wonderful roast dinner. What can you say? The food was excellent and the wine ok and fairly reasonably priced. There are many cheaper places to have Sunday lunch but this was well cooked and big servings. Give it a go. Staff are excellent.

Proper English pub in quiet village setting. Enjoyed our meal at The Bull. Whitebait starter was great. As was the fish and chips. Sausage and mash was okay. Meat nice but mash dry and lumpy (the only fault). Service excellent. Would most definitely come back.

Following a previous visit with friends 18 months previously, we decided to pop in for dinner after visiting a couple of local National Trust properties. Once again, we were very impressed with their food, service and decor.The pies are extremely filling; so much so, that despite having a large appetitie I was too stuffed to order a dessert, which was a real shame, as a dessert is always a nice finish to the meal.

My wife and I had an occasion to visit this excellent hotel and pub while on a family visit. We booked a table for lunch on our first day as other members of our family were joining us. After being served with drinks we ordered our food with all five of us choosing a different dish from the hearty pie, fish pie, to fish n chips. Without exception all of the dishes were excellent.

Fantastic accommodation in a quiet village. The staff went out of their way to make my stay comfortable and pleasant. Breakfasts were fabulous and used local produce and the fish pie was delicious. Thank you

Over many visits, we tried nearly every dinner dish on the menu and all were very good, better than the average pub food. Service was friendly and the owner is heavily involved in day to day operations. As for beers, they have ~3 British beers on pulls (so, kind of warm and non-fizzy) then ~6 generic staples on tap, like Stella, Guinness, etc.

Sunday lunch at the Bull is amazing, the service is great and the food is just the best. We go here regularly and will continue to do so. What’s amazing about this place is the food is consistently good.

We had Sunday lunch here. Lovely pub and delicious food, but the beer was awful. Those in our party tried two different ones. The first was so poor neither finished their pint. The waiting staff were charming, but knew nothing about what ales were available. This is a lovely pub with a wonderful Sunday roast, but it's let down by the standard of the ales. Pity.

I’ve just had the best experience of customer service possible. Jayne, the landlady goes even more than the extra mile. Her enthusiasm is limitless and she’s always so helpful. Her staff are friendly and the atmosphere, as always, was lovely, Thankyou Jayne and team, keep up the good work!

We went midweek and it was very quiet. There was a welcome log fire and we had the table by the window. There is a good menu, including lighter snacks. The staff are friendly and attentive and the food was served promptly and was delicious.

A roaring fire, good food and Ale Lovely Fish and Chips and Scampi Brakspeares bitter excellent Dog friendly too Thanks Jayne

We popped in to quickly see if we could book a table on Saturday night. The staff were so helpful and accommodating. We cosied by the huge log fire and did not want to move.

The traditional pub looked very attractive in Christmas decor and warm for a winter's evening. Liked having a good choice of red wine by the glass.

Get the table by the fire and you won’t want to leave, food is a little expensive for what you get but pretty good. Not a good selection of beer or wine but others may differ . Still the best place to have a meal and drink in wargrave

We were a party of 10 on a business trip and had a very enjoyable meal. 4 of our party also stayed overnight in rooms above the pub, which were very comfortable. Breakfast can also be recommended - all freshly cooked to order

Went for lunch at the Bull in Wargrave on Sunday and OMG it was fantastic as always. Can’t recommend this place enough. Best Sunday lunch ever

A fantastic place for a winter sunday roast, sat by the log fire while enjoy a great glass of red wine, cant recomend this pub enough, lovely staff and a warm reception from landlady Jayne, it doesnt get any better

The food was excellent, the bar was noisy, service was good. But it was pricey, £1.50 for a spoonful a peas.......really ?! I think the people of Wargrave must have deep pockets, the prices will certainly make me think twice before eating there again.

Such a shame the Bull in Wargrave doesn’t allow children anywhere apart from the back bit and garden anymore. I had a conversation with the lovely bar lady who at first said it was the law but when I explained that perhaps it wasn’t the law but the landlady’s rule (sorry not a know-it-all, just an ex-publican!), she agreed and said perhaps we’ve slid under the radar in the past! Having been drinking and eating there regularly, and sitting in the front with our 9 year old as well as with other families with children, we now feel very unwelcome and pushed out! Unfortunately, it will be some time before we return.

Very good Sunday lunch, quality well cooked food with friendly and attentive staff. We had the beef and the lamb, both were good. On a previous visit we had pork which was of the same standard. The vegetables come family style, these are plentiful and tasty. We had peas and carrots mixed together, cauliflower and broccoli in a cheese sauce and red cabbage. Great roast potatoes and yorkies already on the plate with the meat.

Three of us enjoyed an absolutely beautifully cooked Sunday dinner. Portions were enormous, beef cooked as it should be, vegetables were perfect. Could not possibly fault anything about the meal. Staff were very attentive and accommodating. Just perfect. the rhubarb gin went down well too.

From start to finish had a lovely wholesome pub meal. Helpful staff and reasonably priced drinks. Pub wasn't too busy when we visited on a Saturday evening. The chef came out afterwards to ask if we enjoyed our meal which was a nice touch. Would return.

We booked for Sunday Roast. What a good decision that was. We both had lamb, which came with roasters and two Yorkshire puddings each. There was also swede and carrot mash, red cabbage and lovely cauliflower cheese. A spare small jug of gravy was also supplied. They must have read my mind as I always want more gravy. Well the meal was to die for, everything cooked just right and lots of it too. Pudding was apple and blackberry crumble with custard for me. It was ok but after the roast I really expected better. However, I shall be back here again for Sunday roast as it was the best I have had for a while. Service was good and the place has a good atmosphere.

Having seen the sign many times stating Linda’s famous roasts, we decided to try it today when our usual place was fully booked. The service was good, with no rush which is a rarity these days. When the roast arrived I couldn’t believe how generous the servings were. Topped off with a separate serving of vegetables, including a gorgeous broccoli and cauliflower cheese. The food was absolutely fantastic. An absolute top roast. My husband is really fussy with a roast as he is a great cook himself. This roast however was actually to die for. Absolutely gorgeous. We will be back. The sign is right. You have to try this roast!

Came here for lunch after a walking the countryside and hamlets that surround this around this charming village. Has olde world charm, quirky layout, oak tables like your granny used to have and, best of all, an Inglenook fireplace!

Popped in for Sunday lunch - great, friendly service; good food and plenty of it. Lovely atmosphere and a roaring open fire on a Winter's day - what more could you ask for? Strongly recommend ' Pie of the Day'.

we had a good evening here and the food and service was first class also there is a welcoming log fire

Being there for lunch but poor food quality so never again. I had a filletvsteak which was dull and no seasoning on it at all.

Great place to ear a real atmosphere with the open fire. Good home cooked food.very friendly staff. If you want good simple home cooked food well presented, in a friendly pub then it's for you.

Had a lovely meal here this week. Lovely cozy pub with roaring fire. Food was delicious. Vegetable samosas were very nice as was the calves liver and scampi. Service was spot on.

I love this place. Have been going to this establishment for 22 years and never fails to impress with complete charm. Jane is a great landlady.

There were 30 of us, from the Charvil wine circle,

I unfortunately was at the Bull for a wake. However, we were made very welcome and the pub is just lovely.

Stayed here for NYE and the hospitality was second to none. Room nice and comfortable and had everything to hand, kettle, mugs, assortment of drinks and biscuits. Breakfast was excellent, wide choice, well presented and piping hot. Jane (the owner) made us feel welcome from the minute we stepped into her premises to the time we left. Will definitely revisit for one of her Sunday roasts. Try it and I can assure you you wont be disappointed.

This is an old style timber pub in the heart of the village run by a very experienced and professional landlady. The food is wholesome with some really tasty big pies always on offer - if you have a big appetite! Sunday lunch is deservedly very popular, so booking is advisable. The rest of the week is traditional pub food, plus some tasty starters and puddings. A range of wines and ales are on offer to complement your meal. Lighter lunchtime options are equally worth trying.

A real traditional English pub with a beautiful interior, which we found extremely welcoming after a day out. What a fantastic ambience.

I popped in for a quick drink whilst waiting for a friend and I am new to the village. The car park close by and central location made this a useful place to stop.

Five of us had a wonderful meal. Portions excellent- taste brilliant! Certainly planning another visit soon.

Met up with old friends for dinner....12 of us; good menu choice....service a bit slow but maybe that was because we were a table of 12.......a GREAT pie.....so big I could not finish it....excellent

Lovely setting in a traditional village pub. Staff were very friendly, serving good quality food. Would happily visit again when in the area. Bill was around £160 for four of us; starter, main and wine.

Met up with friends and enjoyed Jayne's hospitality. Fine wines. Great beers and sumptuous dinner and breakfast.. Very comfortable room with en suite. Will come again.

The Hearty Meat Pie was delicious and very filling. Next time I'll not order the garlic bread. The wine was fine and the service prompt and friendly.

Quaint old pub in picturesque Wargrave. Food is average, service can be brusque and a little haphazard, but they will accommodate requests for variations to set items.

As a previous reviewer mentioned, The Bull is a proper old English pub with the added advantage of having high quality bedrooms.

Not many of these around these days. A proper old character pub, happy to serve people a drink, or serve food in a character surrounding. Log fires in the winter, beer garden in summer. What more can I say............enjoy!

Staff very friendly food delicious what more could you ask for. Cosy atmosphere outside good in the summer. Birthday treat for friends sparkler was an added kind touch.

Jane and the team at The Bull have been part of a quiet revolution. The atmosphere and the food are fantastic and there is always a warm welcome (we don't go as often as we should as we now live up the road in Waltham St Lawrence). I would strongly recommend anyone to try out the food. The locals keep it a well guarded secret.

Good food and beer. Service could be a bit friendlier. This is a good local pub that should focus on good quality reasonably priced food. The type of place where you think I can't be bothered cooking let's nip into the pub. But, it try's to compete with 'occasions' restaurants, whilst the food is good you can't get away from the fact that you are sitting in a pub with people drinking and socialising around you. The food is just too expensive for this environment - you are not a fancy restaurant. Be a pub serving food and you will be a really good one, you will always be a compromise if you try to be a restaurant.

The Bull is a good, traditional pub serving real ale, with a cracking inglenook fire place (excellent in winter!) and a nice little beer garden out the back which gets a lot of sun. We enjoy visiting with our young daughter for a drink and nibbles in the garden. We occasionally have food too....which we've found to be pretty decent but we don't really view this as a 'good food pub' and if you expect really tasty, quality food then you might be disappointed. We tend to eat here for convenience......the food is certainly not bad and we enjoy it, it's just not the standard of eating out as good as other options in this area.

In our home village, I took Mum and Dad to lunch for Father's Day lunch at The Bull, Wargrave. They warned us there would be a 30 minute wait, as it was peak and all the food is home cooked to order. We had the lamb, the beef and the pork with fresh vegetables and the portions were enormous.

We were going to Henley, but the traffic was hurrendous. Turned off half a mile and headed towards Twyford/Wargrave to find some where to have a Sunday lunch and found thi little gold mine on the crossroads in Wargrave it was now 1.30pm. A real old English pub with nice atmosphere and a fair number of locals drinking and eating. I had pork and my wife had beef roast dinners. Not only was there plenty to eat, but it was delicious. Service was good and the staff friendly, and attentive. Wish it was a bit closer to St Albans. Give it a try, there is a public car park close by.

i took my 2 children and my daughter in law to the bull for their renowned sunday roast .we all had the roast beef and what a brilliant meal it was . perfectly cooked beef from a local butcher and a full selection of veg . great team of staff and the place busy so glad we had booked .

My fiancé and I popped in here for a quick drink before heading for a curry last month. What a lovely place it is and the landlady was super friendly. Will definitely be back.

Food was good but not outstanding but what let if down was the atmosphere which was flat and regulars at the bar making you feel uncomfortable to be in their pub. Shame as the waitress was very pleasant.

I booked a group of 22 people into the pub for lunch on a Saturday. Jayne (landlady) helped me to put arrangements into place in advance that would ensure we were out on time as we had a fixed itinerary to stick to. Two of the group had special dietary requirements and the pub were happy to make dishes that were not on the menu.

We went to have a roast at the weekend as we had heard it was good. It was better than that, in fact it was perfect albeit very large. Although it was large, everything was top quality and perfectly cooked. Can't wait to return in the near future

Very friendly local pub, excellent food and wonderful beer, great staff and top notch landlady. What more do you need!

always feel welcome and food is good and good value. We hold a knitting group there once a week and are never pressured to keep spending

Visited here with a group of friends for a Sunday lunch. We had booked in advance and so they were aware of the large group. We thought it was a bit odd that they only had one highchair available seeing as there were 2 children with the group. The portion sizes are very generous and a starter and main is a struggle! The roast dinner came with a selection of sides such as red cabbage, peas and a huge bowl of cheesy cabbage which was delicious :) only thing for me that let it down was that they offered no vegetarian roast option and only had one vegi option on the menu at all (mushroom stroganoff). Service was patchy, good at first but slow between courses coming out and a lack of noticing when drinks were in need of replenishing. Overall a nice little cosy warm pub, but a bit on the pricey side.

Gorgeous old pub full of character. Huge fire place with log fires for winter and a delightful garden for summer. Menu is a cut above normal pub style and portions generous. Homely rooms available with comfy beds.

I visited on Sunday (17.01.2016) as part of a friends birthday group. It is set in a beautiful little village and it was busy inside, showing its popularity in the local area. but we had booked a table in advance.

The pub was busy (mainly with our group). The atmosphere was nice and the pub is welcoming. The staff were attentive and helpful. I thought the service was slow, but appreciate we were a large group. I did not enjoy my food at all. I did not like my starter of Stilton & broccoli soup. I did not like the chicken and bacon with rice. Found my food to be bland and uninspiring. Felt like my main course had been thrown in the slow cooker and left. The vegetables were lumps of broccoli and a strange red cabbage dish. The dessert (baileys cheesecake) was delicious and so was the coffee. However the rest of the group (the oldies) seemed to enjoy theirs.

Jane's Sunday lunch is the best we've ever had. It is head and shoulders above any other Sunday lunch we've had. We will definitely be going again, great food, service and a lovely old pub with so much history.

last night I went to the Bull with a few friends i haven't been for a while Jane's return has made a real difference the food was excellent, the service good and the atmosphere great Thanks to all concerned

This was the most delicious pub roast We have ever eaten and will be back very soon! Crisp roast potatoes, thick slices of meat and Yorkshire puds. Then came giant servings of bubbling cauliflower cheese, vegetables and a bonus jug of real homemade gravy.

The perfect Sunday roast - we hosted a group of around 20 for lunch and the food was amazing. Not easy to cater for so many but brilliant food, service and setting.

Excellent Sunday lunch in a pretty village pub, good selection of wines and the beer is kept very well. Food is well cooked and served with lots of vegetables. Plenty of choice on the menu.

A wet Bank Holiday Monday, what could be better than a pub lunch? The answer is frankly anything would have been better than what we have just eaten. The pub was cold and we were shown into an even colder empty back room - we waited 40 minutes for two sandwiches with odd tasting chips (13 year old son left them that says everything) and Lasagne which was not good. We will not return.

We went to the Bull today and had the best Sunday lunch we've had in a pub for years. Excellent quality meat with loads of really good vegetables and wonderfull roast potatoes. The pub was busy so we ate in the garden. The staff were attentive and helpfull. The wholes family thoroughly enjoyed it.

Having once again abandoned the chaotic and beer-deficient George, we returned to The Bull. Always reliable, welcoming and with a far nicer atmosphere, this is everyhing a pub should be.

We received a friendly welcome and the service was spot on throughout. We only had mains as the portions were so big but all very tasty and obviously home cooked. The pies were massive and full of tender meat. We all really enjoyed our meal and time spent here. Friendly locals as well
