The bull inn in South Hams

Stopped for a quick lunch. The food and bread was absolutely 5 star. The IPA was delicious. Service was friendly and efficient. Very good value too. I had been in Scott’s of Mayfair the day before and I preferred this. It’s so good it’s convinced me to move to Totnes 😀

Serving staff were quite rude. When serving us with a raised eyebrow of what do you want, I ordered a drink for my friend, the lady asked quite rudely, 'is that all' and turned away from me to talk to a guy also behind the bar, ignoring me for an age. When I did order and we were served our drinks....there was a real air of them being put out we were there at all. Not friendly at all. Later on a group came in that needed a big enough table for them all...the male bar staff seemed to think this was going to be hard. When they suggested a table by the window, the bar guy said 'that means I've got to clean it' ...which he did. But not in a way that would make someone feel especially welcome. Nice. The general tone from the bar staff was that they would rather customers were not there at all. Don't need falling over with gushing hospitality, just don't be rude and superior.

Delicious, organic, locally sourced (grown not flown) food. Imaginative menus with vegetarian options. Small lunch plates too

The Food is great, really great food to share, high quality ingredients, flavourful marinades and Sauces! Alot of adaptable vegan options! Been 3 times in the last year and food is always great! Atmosphere lovely and staff are always so nice and funny! My only little thing is that I didnt think the negroni was the best! Didnt have enough of a bitter edge and that depth of flavor! But thats maybe a prefrence

Had a very good meal last night. The menu is not the usual fare but very good with lots of flavours and textures. It is certainly worth the visit. We all enjoyed it very much. Our one comment would be the King Oyster Mushroom main could do with a bit more mushroom and bit less squash, but the pickle radiccio a nice counter flavour. We also could recommend the Venison Birria.

What a fabulous lunch in this top of the town venue. Great service& superb locally sourced food served with imagination & flair .

Another one of my favourite places to drop into. Either for a coffee in the morning or lunch with friends. A warm welcome by friendly staff

Now I’m not into the organic and ethical eating malarkey, but having popped in for lunch with my wife, I can report that the skate with caper butter sauce, new potatoes and fennel was the best fish dish I think I’ve ever eaten. My wife’s aubergine dish was also terrific (she tells me). The staff were very friendly and attentive but not too much so, and the ambience was relaxed and comfortable. Yes, a little bit pricey but absolutely worth it for the experience, the memorable dishes we had, together with well-kept beer and glass of rosé. Will definitely go again when in Totnes.

We visited the Bull Inn for lunch. Quality is excellent, but prices are high and quantities are small. The bowl of lobster bisque with one slice of focaccia was lovely, but it cost £15. There is an eco focus going on. In the well maintained loos, I looked for the soap dispenser. I could find none. But what is that light coloured thing projecting from the wall? I had thought it was a handle, but it was a communal piece of soap.

Very very good - beautiful produce, extremely thoughtful menu, the food and all the little details were wonderful - merci beaucoup : )

all very good, excellent food and service, very comfortable beds, nice bathroom and sensible price, and definitely serious about their environmental low impact , parking a bit limited

The restaurant's vegan options are consistently the best vegan food I've ever had, having been vegan for over 7 years. This is my go to destination for any special occasion. Please keep the outstanding, innovative vegan dishes coming. My one concern is that there aren't enough - when the vegan dishes are this good you don't need to have such a high ratio of non-vegan dishes. As the ethos of this place is all about sustainability, push the plant-based dishes more! Also the Bull Inn's chef (is it Johnny Tillbrook?) really could do with opening a school and teaching other plant-based/vegan chefs about balance of flavours, textures, and the thing that frustrates me the most about other places: incorporating plant-based proteins into dishes! He uses tahini, almonds and pumpkin seeds among others exceptionally well. My one request if I had one? Work your magic on the almighty bean. How to turn beans into a beautifully refined dish? If anyone can do it's this team, and I'd love to see the result. All in all, everyone needs to try the vegans dishes to truly understand what our food is all about. They inspire me. Starters, mains, desserts, always outstanding.

We chose the Bull because of its reputation for excellent food and sustainability (in particular, the fact it has signed up for the WildFish off the table campaign against farmed salmon). It did not disappoint. We ordered 4 small plates which ranged from very good (sardines w/green sauce, venison with baba ghanoush) to really excellent (monkfish, chicken terrine). They were all inventive, cooked with real skill and precision and let their wonderful ingredients sing. We then shared a fabulous tiramisu. The wine list is clearly curated by someone who knows what they're doing - I strongly recommend the champagne. The service was well pitched - friendly, attentive and efficient but in no way overbearing. And the place had a real buzz to it. I would strongly recommend!

Lovely food, really exciting flavours, ambience and friendly staff. Only issue i have is there is nothing on the menu for kids, I’m not talking turkey twizzlers, but it’s all adult portions and certainly more for an adult palate. Just something to feed the kids so we parents can enjoy some good grub would make it excellent.

Excellent food and service and a great evening. We need more establishments like this championing great British locally grown food, grown by British farmers and growers. So refreshing to find great food with an original menu.

Great flavourful food, nice vegie options, great service and splendid choice of drinks. It would be my go to place when in Totnes. Also with the kids a good spot, the staff was very nice and helpful.

We had a beautiful stay, food was delicious and all the staff were really kind and professional! Will come back for sure!

My husband and I came here for our anniversary meal on a Sunday lunch time. We figured we'd be getting Sunday roast, but were momentarily disappointed to find out there was no roast menu! However, the food we did have was absolutely out of this world. The chef plays with unusual tastes and I'm guessing is a bit of a trendsetter because there were some unlikely but amazing pairings on the dishes we had. All the food was fresh and delicious, so thank you for making our non-roast meal so incredibly epic!

We went here for a special birthday meal and sadly it was a truly disappointing experience. I have had a number of meals here and not had this experience before, so it was all the more disappointing given the occasion. One starter (there is only one starter on the menu), two small plates and a dessert were unavailable. Usually we wouldn’t mind this but the menu is very limited, especially for vegetarian options. When charging these prices we felt it wasn’t really acceptable to have such a number of items run out. We had two mocktails and both lacked any flavour at all, they mainly tasted like soda. We could see they were busy, but the service was extremely slow and not personal at all. We expressed our upset at the amount of food out of stock and explained how it was a special meal. We said this in a way that was really just conveying our disappointment and not in a rude manner at all. The waitress just said sorry but it had been a really busy night. However, this is no excuse for running out of items on such a limited menu. We booked this meal in advance so expected to have all the options available. Although I have visited The Bull frequently over the years, I truly feel let down and I don’t even feel any understanding was shown when we expressed our disappointment . Regrettably I wouldn’t recommend and will not be visiting again.

Very slow service, no service for the tables outside for drinks for us anyway, £13.50 for 3 chicken wings with pickles..couldn't even throw a 4th wing there! Stingy portion for expensive prices...not really worth it!

Great food and great beers. One of the pubs where I ate best in the UK.

We absolutely loved our long weekend staying in the Albatross Apartment at the Bull Inn. It was twice the size we expected, and very comfortable for 3 couples and two kids. Well stocked kitchen, fabulous outdoor space, and incredibly comfortable beds. We ate at the Bull Inn twice and the food was truly excellent - definitely not to be missed. Location was great, right in town but easy to access by car. We would certainly stay / eat here again.

Very disappointing for a special occasion. I was greeted as Daniel having spelt out my name phonetically several times on the phone, I don’t find that to be very respectful and I generally found the staff to be indifferent to our arrival. Our table was pointed to for us to seat ourselves and I felt nobody represented your business well or professionally. I was pleased to try the food though felt the small plates were a little too small to be shared and particularly the tomato salad overpriced for its small size. Compared to some great restaurant experiences there is a lot left to be desired for the service at the Bull.

Came for lunch. Delicious and with friendly service

Amazing food & wine from @bullinn_totnes 🥳 everything was exceptional 🔥

Now I don't often wax lyrical about a place to put food inside me that will, within 12/24 hours be in a toilet bowl, but I have to about here and so I'll begin. First I would like to say how wonderful it is to find a little bit of London right here in Totnes, yes, here! I'd been hoping I'd see some as there's not much else to do really apart from the sea, moorland and cheap tasty cafes nearby, I mean who these days wants cheap?? Ughh not I sir! What was an off the cuff visit turned in to a cacophony of all the London sounds you may be missing such as many proper riche socialists all earnestly discussing how to put an end to world poverty and racism, alongside drinks and food prices to match any of those in Shoreditch or indeed Putney so you'll feel right at home. I had the Pangritata and Mrs M had the Bass with a glass of wine, all coming in at a cost you'd want, ney demand, from such a wonderful place as here, I won't be gauche about how much we spent but to say you could buy several orphans an education at a Herefordshire public school for several years with the money we spent is an understatement, a wonderful, beautiful, organic and NOT over seasoned understatement. This is the kind of place to escape those local Devon types and feel safe and coddled in the warm cosy arms of London, breathe it in Ptolemy and Jocasta, breathe. It. In. Ethos 5* Organic 5* Felt level 5* Smug level 5* Everything about this trip was sublime and really did make me thankful that moving down to Devon wasn't the hillbilly risk I thought it was going to be for our family! Thank you for making us feel so welcomed in your local eatery and for keeping those damned pitchfork locals away from us and down in the favelas where they belong. Keep on doing what you're doing and bringing back a little of London for all those who miss it. Bravo. Bravo.

2024 update. I've been going to the Bull Inn quite a lot recently since learning its open from 8am as it is a hotel open to the public from this time. They offer barista made coffees, but I just go for the Americano. Be careful of seagulls grabbing your food if you leave it in the outside tables! .I've only been here for cider, so can't speak for the food, but the cider tasted like REAL cider (5% on the far left tap), and offered a taster first, friendly staff, chilled vibe, nice building, and definitely will go back.

The bull is always amazing a little spenny but what you get for your money is really well put together flavours and very tasty food using incredible organic and seasonal vegetables ( and meat if you care to take part in that )

I stayed here overnight for a short visit to Totnes and it was a delight. The rooms were beautiful and the food was delicious. All of the staff were super helpful and kind. The included breakfast was delicious as well. I highly recommend taking an evening here or at the very least, stopping for a meal. The food was all fresh and there were lots of gluten free options.

Six of us (plus 3 year old) had breakfast here - it was absolutely top notch! Relaxing environment, excellent service and delicious notch. Definitely something special, highly recommended.

This is a lovely looking restaurant but woefully overpriced. I would say London prices. Either up the portion size (I would suggest by a third at the very least) or put the price down. 50 quid for a few small plates of food without drinks is exorbitant. The food was ok but quite oily and I would go to a simple vegetarian or vegan cafe in Totnes if you want delicious fresh veg.

Fantastic birthday dinner. Awesome food and great service

The best food I've ever had in a super relaxed, non pretentious setting, we go regularly on special occasions or with guests because we want to show them how it's done. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and always happy to answer questions about the ever changing menu, or make recommendations on drink pairings. The atmosphere makes it feel like you're in a family member's house and they have just rustled up the most amazing meal out of local food. Really wholesome and blinkin delish 👌

Didn't appreciate the politics. Came for food and drink, not a notice board on entry celebrating people who have lost their jobs, affecting their lives and their family's. The credo seems to be local produce, but the air miles involved in the wine and soft drinks seems a little hypocritical. A slightly overpriced, mainly vegetarian menu. Food we had was very tasty but for the younger generation, if you are 40 or under this may be the place for you.

Great food & service (by Buster). Pickled pears and fillet steak were great

Yum!!! What a fabulous place, we (party of 6 friends), ordered a big selection of the small plates and shared. The food was seasonal, fresh and utterly delicious and there was a great selection in the menu 🤤. The ambience of the Bull was also wonderful, lively and welcoming with very attentive waiting and bar staff. We also popped in for a coffee the next day and I can wholly recommend the little ginger cookies they sell as an accompaniment (I think the guy mentioned they are made in the bakery across the road?) thank you, we will definitely return on our next visit.

I don't normally review hotels and stick to pubs and heritage railways, but I feel this need to be an exception. Room was excellent with a soft bed and lovely bathroom and the breakfast was delicious. I recommend the full bull. Staff are helpful. Sure they have no televisions, but who cares. They have a brilliant restaurant downstairs focusing on local cuisine and Totnes has plenty to offer without looking to hard.

Evening meal. We shared 2 small plates, red mullet and pulled pork tacos and one main, monkfish. All three were excellent. Shared the chocolate ganache dessert, which was a little dissapointing as it was a dessert i could have easily made myself and therefore seemed expensive. The service was exemplary.

Interesting, tasty fresh lunch. Relaxing and welcoming atmosphere.

Relaxed, lovely vibe. I liked the look of the menu, Most dishes were pretty good but some needed a bit more love. Quite expensive for what it was

Helpful from the telephone booking to the service throughout our meal. Food first rate and the soft drinks were very innovative too. Finally, important to us, this establishment is dog friendly!!

I will give them 4 ⭐ only because the service was not 5⭐ I went to order for me and my friend some drinks and food with separate bills and we did the first order with no problem but for the second one I have to wait for quite a while because the guy answered a phone call, after I finally ordered my meal only a small plate with some focaccia bread (the best with olive oil) I can say the food was delicious and the coffee ☕ really good, they have outdoor seats so that's a bonus in a sunny day, fully recommend this place for food and drinks, the organic beer 🍻 is nice too, so it's a nice place to visit in town

We stayed here for a birthday weekend and absolutely loved it. The ethos of the place is really felt - local, quality and responsible. The staff were kind and not imposing. And whilst it is a pub with rooms, there was a real local feel. The food was incredible - we went for a huge mix of small plates which were well portioned and priced. And ended up eating there 4 times over 6 meals! I'd really recommend it to anyone looking for a lovely base to explore the local area

I've eaten at the Bull many times and every single time the food has been absolutely outstanding. I love the service (attentive, but not at all obsequious), love the ambience love the range of the menu, and love their attention to matters ecological. We're so lucky to have the Bull Inn in Totnes.

We must visit The Bull every month. It’s a slight addiction of ours. We bring all our friends and family that visit too. The staff are friendly, polite and efficient. We never see the same staff twice but it doesn’t mean they aren’t good at what they do. The food seriously gets better and better with each visit. The plates get more retro too. 😂 Our last visit was a bank holiday Monday and they seemed a tad stressed, but… the food was exceptional and once things calmed down the staff were chatty and always have such lovely rapport. We will always be back!

Fantastic good quality food. Our new favourite place to go!

One of the best meals I've ever eaten out. Cracking selection of sharing plates . Lovey IPA .

Popped in for lunch . Really attentive and knowledgeable staff. Fabulous menu. Good Food.

Absolutely fabulous lunch. The staff were super friendly and they were very accommodating on my daughters allergy needs. We were allowed to try a little wine before we bought a glass which was a nice touch. The food was outstanding, full of flavour, fresh and wholesome. We will most certainly be back!

We really did drop on with this gorgeous little restaurant in Totnes yesterday. The town was recommended to us by a friend for its hippy charm and being dog friendly. we wanted to stop somewhere that did nice food... Not standard pub grub. The Bull inn's menu suggestions and ideals got my attention straight away. Seasonal, exciting and organic food.... we really did struggle to choose what we wanted, and it was all delicious. The beers, wine and waitress! were also 10/10. We 100% will go back but with an over night stay next time so we can sample some of the cocktails on offer.

superb, inventive food, that a few other establishments could learn a lesson from. It's great not to be offered a gastro burger, but truly original quality food, served by happy and attentive staff. We had small plates an a side, and it was plenty for lunch, but above that you came away happy and content , paying a fair price for a quality offering.

Had a selection of small plates which left us disappointed. The mackerel was cooked well, the source was ok, but the koftas were overdone and dry. The menu was creative but didn’t deliver on flavour and quality for the prices charged.

Fantastic stay at The Bull Inn and Albatross. Amazing staff - friendly, helpful and professional. Really nice accommodation and the food was very, very good. Couldn't fault any aspect of our stay. Thank you!

Excellent meal. Good choice and portion size. Extremely varied and thoughtful drinks menu. Food was so tasty. Was a little surprised at price though. Seemed very steep. Incredibly attentive service. Would certainly return but price limits visits.

Went for a chilled evening and good food and was blown away by the quality. Good portion sizes, was left very stuffed after 3 courses but didn't regret a mouthful! The chicken breast was succulent and paired with wonderfully tender vegetables. Don't skip dessert!

Great place for breakfast! Had one of my all time favorite breakfasts - "The Full Bull." Traditional English Breakfast with a twist. Also, great for dinner and seems like a lovely place to stay.

What an absolute culinary delight combined with a totally healthy organic menu. Four of us visited yesterday. The weather was rubbish, but inside the Bull, the atmosphere was warm and the customer care was fabulous. There is a comprehensive menu and when I saw it, I wondered how it would be possible to cover all the options with excellence. Well - they do! We had a selection of different dishes and each one was fabulously creative, perfectly seasoned and impeccably presented. The fact that insofar as it is possible, the food is locally sourced and there is great attention paid to being sustainable and responsible is just brilliant. The whole experience was a real treat. Personally I can't wait to go back and it will be our go-to place for special occasions. Thank you Geeta Singh-Watson and your amazing team, the Bull is one very special and precious place.

We went for a belated Mother’s Day celebration for lunch having heard good things about the food. Clearly a popular place as was packed. There were small plates and mains. When asked the size of the small plates the waitress said more like a starter portion but also suggested 2/3 if you wanted that instead of a main. What I couldn’t get over was that the starters were approx £13 each. We ordered the leeks starter which she recommended and when it turned up it was one small leek cut up for £13 which we thought was very expensive. Also homemade cordial tasted like water with squeezed lemon or lime - very weak and no sweetness. Our bill was £160 for 4 mains and one starter. No puddings or wine. These are London prices. Go for a special occasion unless you don’t mind paying over the odds for veg.

May be it's me.....not my cup of tea... They had very limited and rigid menu...and didn't had any kids menu either....I've increased one star as they kindly reduced the bill

Excellent staff, great location and a lovely apartment.

We have the most amazing experience at The Bull! Finn our waiter was nothing but fanatic! The food was stunning from start to finish. Finn recommended all our dishes and I already can’t wait to come again! 5 star service and the food was out of this world! Thank you Finn and his team. Nothing but Phenomenal!

With the closure of Ben’s place down the hill we came back here instead. We like the feel of the Bull. About half full bit a bit of bustle. We keep meaning to have a few pints with bar snacks but we’re again enticed by the main menu. We had a couple of plates. I had the mushroom and then the charred leeks. She had the monkfish and then the lamb chops. All very tasty. We were coaxed into an unusual rose based mostly on the value of a carafe. It lubricated the meals but I’ll chose a different one next time. We had a jolly time though. £90 odd quid total for the two of us including the booze.

I read a few negative reviews before arriving and thankfully didn’t take them seriously. Warm welcome, everyone was very accommodating and friendly.

We had been told it was lovely good but poor menu one of the starters was half a code head .praise themselves on local produce large wine and spirit list only three wines from UK had a run from Paraguay .we had the lamb it was ok but for £28.50 plus £4.50 for potatoes never worth it in a noisy pub wife had a fun and lemonade all she could taste was overpowering lemon we won't be back

Don't bother coming here if you want to hear anything anyone says to you, the acoustic reverb of people talking is like having your ears repeatedly raped. Absolutely horrific migraine after being here for 15 minutes and then service is rubbish so slow, and the food is horrendously overpriced, and over cooked.

We popped in for lunch arriving at 12 noon and managed to get a table for two but advisable to book as tables quickly filled up the whole 2 hours. Very varied eclectic menu with small plate and large plate choices. We had the small plate, trout for me and lamb chops for my daughter. Lots and lots of drinks choice. We enjoyed our meal, fine dining at the best. You won’t find general pub grub here. The desserts delicious, we shared. Service was good being busy, we were well attended. I liked that there was no music shouting at me. All in all a pleasant experience.

We had dinner here in January and again in February as a group of 3 friends. A beautifully decorated restaurant with character. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The menu itself is so inventive and, for a group of foodies, it’s difficult to choose just one thing. This is where it’s so lovely to be able to order a few small plates (we think 3 each with bread is about right). Between us (over two visits) we’ve had small plates of; parsnip bahjis in spicy tahini, gurnard in a spiced almond sauce, mushrooms in sunflower seed pesto with hazelnuts and sesame, calamari in spicy chicken broth, venison and oggleshield tatin, crispy beef in tahini with sumac pickled onions, and a rich crab bisque. There was a dish we didn’t get on with, but this was taken off the bill without question. Some of the small plates are more sizeable and filling than others, you can always ask which are more dainty. We’ve also all tried a mains dish of curried monkfish with almonds, new potatoes and roasted onions. The mains were delicious and definitely sizeable. The dining here isn’t cheap. But you’re not only paying for the inventive recipes and a chef who knows what he or she is doing, you’re paying to support a whole ethos around organic, free range, low air miles produce that is definitely not only for show. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Found this gem of a pub online a few years ago while searching for places to go not far from Somerset. I knew it would be a good place to go because their food looked and sounded yummy, but I knew I had to go after following them on Instagram and seeing their forward thinking and actions regarding global issues. It was a no-brainer that a place with good food and even better morals would be great to support. The front of house staff were lovely and helpful to everyone that walked through the door , thank you! It was great to see them support each other and have general chatter too. I overheard the kitchen staff and serving staff getting briefed about allergies/food requirements and what alternatives they can provide. Often, I go to restaurants whose menu is drastically limited for people with food requirements, and I'm usually left disappointed and sad when there's only one or two things I can eat because of hidden (not obvious on the menu) ingredients. So, it was so warming that The Bull Inn staff are so on it with recipes and dishes that things can easily get substituted. The drinks selection was good! The food was yummy! The only thing that could have made it better - a little music. (and more annual leave so we could stay a night!)

We had dinner on a busy Friday night and the restaurant was packed, which was nice to see. But the service didn't suffer throughout the evening and our servers were pleasant and efficient. The menu had some really interesting flavour combinations, it was great to see vegetables featuring so prominently and all of the ingredients are of high quality - we ended up choosing the cod (which was excellent and perfectly cooked) and the venison (slightly overdone and underhung!) The flavours across the board tended to be well matched but subtle rather than big and bold, and we felt that it wouldn't take much to elevate each dish to another level (for example the walnuts on the roasted artichoke starter seemed to be bare out of the packet - if they had been pan roasted with eg. some salt and mace the dish would have been less flat in flavour). The cheese was overdressed with completely superfluous items. But having said all that, we really enjoyed our meal at the Bull. It is a bit unusual and we really appreciated the local ethos and different approach, and we would definitely go back for more seasonal treats!

One of the nicest meals I’ve had in a long time! Couldn’t recommend more!

We’ve eaten here before and really enjoyed this smart place, serving organic food. Good real ales and a really good, interesting menu. We’d had a big lunch so their choice of “small plates” was perfect. So much choice. We went with: - Mussels, paprika, garlic, focaccia - Parsnip bhaji, whipped tahini, chilli jam - Stuffed lamb’s belly, celeriac remoulade, green sauce - Crispy cauliflower, hummus, green sauce, pumpkin seed picada This made an excellent dinner.

Only had a coffee. It was excellent as was the friendly service

Great, friendly service that was so fast it was almost as hot as the beautiful dishes me & my partner enjoyed! Would highly recommend to anyone visiting the local area who enjoy fresh, seasonal produce.

Never been here before but we wanted somewhere nice to celebrate our wedding anniversary. It was quite busy for a midweek lunchtime on a cold winter’s day so a good sign. We didn’t have to wait to be seated, we were quickly shown to a table. It’s a very rustic feel, all plain wood & stone floors but doesn’t feel echoey or bare. We chose one small plate, bread & olive oil to share to begin and a large plate each as a main course. It isn’t cheap & portions aren’t huge however we both felt it was totally worth it. The chefs’ attention to detail particularly with vegetables is second to none. Who knew roasted butternut squash with honey & walnuts could taste SO good? I could have licked the dish, the seasoning was impeccable. I had a wedge of cabbage with dukkah as a main, my husband had a breast of chicken. Again both excellent with such a variety of flavours. My only complaint about the cabbage was I should have asked for a steak knife so I could have eaten the entire core, the old-fashioned Sheffield steel cutlery was no match for it, beautiful though it was. We probably could have eaten a pud & the selection was delicious but it would have been a little too much for lunchtime. Next time I think I just need to work my way through a few plates of pudding & cheese 😃 If you like wines there is a massive list, I’m sure you’d find something for every taste. Treat yourself & enjoy some very good food, beautifully presented.

Amazing food lovely warm tasty had a fantastic meal there every time Been three times over last year Never disappointed

Great creative food. Good atmosphere. A bit loud on busy nights.

Very reasonable over night stay at £100 B&B for such a nice Inn. Dinner was quite expensive and whilst it is a veggie promoting Inn, the menu could have done with a few more meat choices.

The best meal I've had for a very long time. Every dish beautifully crafted with ingredients that are all locally sourced and "organic". Every mouthful was a taste and texture sensation. Special mention to the blood orange and cardamom chantilly dessert which was next-level sensational. Thank you to the Bull and staff for a memorable meal. *Six* stars!

Good looking pub, people enjoying the place with kids; basic food - scotch eggs n chips but does the job

We stayed 2 nights and ate there and it was great! The food at breakfast & dinner was excellent. Friendly staff. Our room was v nice & comfortable.

Disappointed & hungry. The most disappointing meal I have had anywhere for a long time. Overpriced & underwhelming. Even the beer a disappointment.

We love The Bull and save it for special occasions. It is quite notably different from any other Inn. Apart from its ethos it would probably be possible to put on a blindfold and stick a pin in the menu and be assured that you...

Great ethos as the title says and lovely food too but the studied 'laid back' style comes across as amateurish - there were errors made on both our room booking and our table booking and the latter error was dealt with with bad grace. There...

Was recommended by one of the shops in Totnes. Hidden away in the top of town. Lovely character pub exceptional food.

Visited with family and was not disappointed. Varied menu with something for everyone - and tasty too. Relaxed atmosphere with helpful, polite and friendly staff, who managed to accommodate us despite there being a problem with my booking.

Paid £15.50 for a piece of sea bass approx 7cms x 10cms in a sauce. £14 for a lamb chop with a few shavings of pickled ginger. Both very tasty but no vegetable or accompaniments at all. They were 'small plates'. No bread,vegetables, salad etc...

We shared four small dishes - mussels, crab bisque, sunchokes, braised lamb - and all were tremendous. Truly, these were the best mussels I've ever eaten, prepared with white whine, herbs, and garlic and served with fries. Perfection! The sunchokes were served over a bed...

Meeting friends for Sunday lunch we live in Totnes first meal here. I have a garlic allergy but no menu available online. Hake only non garlic dish horribly overcooked and smothered in capers and salt. Inedible. 😞 cost me a LOT. Given free ginger cake...

Had our first stopover at The Bull, the room was beautiful, as was our breakfast. The team were excellent and attentive, we will definitely visit again, highly recommended.

Beautiful vegan lunch from a non-vegan restaurant. Everything was perfect from the beer to the food to the service. Can’t wait to return. Completely delicious. Thank you 🌱

Came here for lunch and sat outside having a drink whilst waiting for a table. We have been past here a few times and walked past as it is on a car park and doesn’t look much from the outside. HOWEVER. Once you get in...

We haven’t been back to the Bull since our last visit in the Spring when we felt it had lost its edge. Now it is back on top form as a buzzy, welcoming, inventive eatery with its own distininctive Totnes vibe. The sharing plates were...

We booked for dinner having read good reviews and I'm sure when I researched it they mentioned gluten-free options otherwise I would not have booked it. Both starter and main course were served with bread but when I asked for gluten free was told they...

Contacted this little pub to book a room. I had the misfortune to encounter a very rude and hostile woman who was both aggressive and unhelpful. We would not want to stay here if this is indicative of their customer service!

A weekend away and what a great place to spend it. The Bull ticks all our boxes - super comfy rooms, all individually & tastefully decorated using heritage paints, limewash, vintage furniture & repurposed fabrics. Very comfortable mattress & there was even a bath rather...

A fantastic drinking and dining experience in a truly organic and sustainable restaurant. Even the lime cordial was home made- absolutely no synthetic tastes here.
