The Bull Inn in Ashford

Had a lovely Sunday lunch with a fabulous and varied menu. A family run pub in a beautiful village. Large portions and friendly staff!! Will definitely return!

1st time at this pub, arrived by bike, as it was a bike nite, food was good, beer was great,

Very Quiet when we visited, but nicely decorated and great food. Good chatty service too.

Lovely pub with a good selection of beers and ciders. Good menu with plenty of choice. BIG BULLS BURGER well worth a try.. all in all great experience. 10/10

Stopped for something to eat and a couple of Heinekens. Barmaid very polite. Will go back

Lovely establishment, outside seating which have the option of cover or not. Good selection of on tap or bottled beer or soft drinks. Friendly staff, quick service. Best of all, dog friendly 👌

Lovely place and staff , food is GREAT 👍

Had a roast here on Bank Holiday Monday. Absolutely huge portion and very nice roast beef with all the trimmings. Great value and service. Highly recommend.

Nice pub, didn't try the food this time but had a pint of Harvey's and a packet of crisps. Pint was cool and fresh and the crisps were spot on. I bit early for atmosphere but service was good and the landlord was friendly and chatty.

We have been to the bull for lunch on a few occasions and every time has been great. The food was really tasty and the staff were really attentive. I recommend anyone passing to stop in for lunch or dinner.

A well run pub, the food looked amazing will try again on next visit. Definitely looks like you have to book for the weekends.

We stopped by for lunch last week when driving past and it we was delighted by the service and food that we received.

Went for dinner a couple weeks ago with the wife. Don’t often leave reviews but on this occasion I wanted to celebrate an actual freehouse pub. The staff were friendly and welcoming and very charismatic despite how clearly busy it was. The food was great, presented well and the portions were pretty large. Overall we was well impressed! Will be back again with the whole family soon.

Amazingly welcoming staff so polite will couldn't of asked for better food was soo nice definitely be visiting again

Me and my partner had a lovely meal here, I spoke with Ross for some time regarding certain things around the area, he was very happy to help even though I asked so many questions. I would highly recommend, the food and nice friendly atmosphere is exactly what we was looking for. Will definitely be returning. Thankyou Ross and thankyou to the rest of your staff.

Stopped by the bull after a ride out on the bike Sunday just gone, with a couple of friends, had the steak, friends had the big bulls burger and the clucking big one ! And I have to say it was outstanding for the price will definitely be going back !

Rude racist staff and wouldn’t feed the food to my dog

Beef was like trying to cut a old boot Vegetables was cold .would not go there

Visited today order the roast lamb and beef , lamb had a rancid smell to it and beef was so tough we could not cut it, we also heard other diners complaining, asked to speak to manager she was very very rude , will never visit again awful food awful service

Disappointed with service absolutely pathetic customer service rude especially the female manager horrible don’t go here

Terrible food and service. Avoid at all costs.

We dine here every week with a group of friends- & we keep coming back! The food is good & plentiful & the staff are friendly & helpful.

Went here on 26th March with friends . Usually food and service ok but not this time. Served with wrong order by a disinterested waitress . No apology. Asked for Jerk chicken and was served with a pork steak with chips. Replacement for original choice was not as described on the menu . The pork was retrieved from the wrong order and cut up to try and fool me that it was chicken. What a cheek! Informed the waitress waitress but no reaction. Won’t be going there again.

We visited with our nervous rescue dog today for lunchtime food. Both staff were fantastic and helped above and beyond what I ever would have expected regarding our nervous dog. They made her first public venue visit a positive one. Our food was also very good. Vegtables cooked to perfection and not over cooked. We shall revisit again and recommend this establishment.

The Bull is a great location for a night out with friends and family. Fab staff, they took great care of us on a special occasion. Stayed at the cabins adjacent, had a delicious freshly prepared breakfast at The Bull the following morning. Didn’t have dinner at The Bull on this occasion, have had a lovely lunch previously. Great spot!

Fantastic. Sunday lunch - friendly staff, delicious food, great atmosphere. Food delicious and great value - definitely recommend

Outstanding customer service, lovely food, and a friendly atmosphere. A real find in the High Weald. We came here for dinner as it was the only pub within walking distance of our cottage. So lucky to have such a great pub nearby.

Having had a good experience here previously, 10 of us booked for a good lunch and catch-up. We arrived just before 1pm. The outside temperature was 3C so looking forward to some warmth. However, it was about the same inside....the wood stove was not lit. We did suggest they lit it which they duly did. We had lunch with our coats on!! Food was good but served on stone cold plates. It was just about luke warm by the time it arrived on the table. Why do so many pubs and restaurants not use plate warmers??? It is not rocket science. Politely mentioned it to the waitress and asked her to quietly advise the chef. No apology from anyone. We certainly will not be returning and in fact, one of our friends immediately cancelled their next booking for 8. Great shame...it used to be a good pub.

Having pre booked a table, upon arrival there was no reserved table for us and we were told to sit anywhere. The restaurant area was very cold - also mentioned by other customers. The food was okay but the overall atmosphere did not encourage us to stay for either puddings or coffee. There was only one person serving the whole area - pub and restaurant - and whilst he tried his hardest, he was obviously juggling too many things at once. An update of the web site would helpful - updating both food choices and current prices. Overall, whilst trying to support local establishments, this was a very disappointing visit.

We called in for lunch without booking. It was quiet but the atmosphere was still welcoming. The good was superb. Had a great lunch! Will go again.

Food was exceptional as well as the staff and service

Excellent pub. Great Christmas decorations. Good prices.

Lovely Christmas dinner at The Bull this evening with friends … pate, turkey with loads of fresh veg… thank you for a lovely meal

A party of 13 all food was delivered to the table together and hot, very good portions and service highly recommended will be booking again.

Lovely place, good food and very reasonable price

First time going to the Bull, we popped in for lunch after visiting nearby Sissinghurst Castle. What a little gem! Food was lovely and arrived promptly, the bar person was fantastic, he was juggling numerous tables of customers on his own in a very polite and courteous way, he couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly. The pub was bedecked in a stunning display of Christmas decorations which added to the cosy atmosphere, we will definitely return and would highly recommend.

Lovely pub with great atmosphere. The food was good. Generous portions and very tasty. Staff were very friendly.

Friendly, kind, thoughtful staff. Good range of food, all excellent meals.

Excellent food, very relaxed atmosphere (we were a bit late but had no signal to phone), staff were friendly, kind, and thoughtful. Good food, and great choices on the menu.

Great food, friendly staff and a lovely village setting could not ask for more...

Excellent food every time you visit. Friendly staff and a good selection of beers. The food is also excellent value. Cater for Coeliacs also.

Late lunch, good meal, good value Hit the mark Didn't realise it was the gathering point for the school run

Party of four lunch , We All enjoyed the food and the service staff very nice and polite

Had a ham ploughman's with extra cheese, bit salad, x2 slices white toast

Stopped by with a group of friends after a day out, the whole experience was just east. Parking up there was a large car park with plenty space which is always nice. The bar staff were very friendly and created a nice atmosphere. The food was also excellent and the portion sizes were large, safe to say no one left hungry! Overall couldn’t complain.

After a long ride with some friends decided to stop in at the bull inn. Lovely place and felt welcomed by all the staff. We decided to get lunch as well as a drink. the lasagne was amazing and the food came to us quickly. Will definitely be returning on future ride outs.

It is a pub we frequent about once a month for a meal. Though our food was good as was the service, my partner went to the loo only to see the chef leaving without washing his hands. We won't be back.

We had a lovely cod burger. Thank you!

Awful experience. Booked to stay over for a weeding and prepaid. We received an email a few days before that there was an issue with the booking so we checked booking.com and everything was fine. We called the night before our stay to confirm our booking and asked for early check in and was told everything was fine with the booking. As we were about to leave the house the next day we received a message from the Bull Inn via booking.com saying that we cannot stay there as the system had double booked and we must cancel the booking on our side. We understand things go wrong but to not receive a phone call or an apologetic response is appalling and to make matters worse when we called to get more information we were spoken to so rudely and the lady put the phone down on us. To be disrespected in that manner was horrible, and the whole experience was so stressful. I highly recommend no one to book this accommodation. Dale Hill saved the day and were so lovely to us, please give them your money instead.

Truly excellent pub with a large selection of drinks on the taps and large menu. Everything we received was very high quality and delicious. We will all be back again soon.

Wednesday night's throughout the summer is bike night. What a great evening with lots of like minded fools!! Great burgers, company, and a pint.

Great bike night, great staff, great food. Arrived at 1930and parking was full. Needs less cars or a Marshall.

Great meal, good service despite a small misunderstanding. Nice location, great value for money!

Really not impressed with Sunday lunch today. Food was obviously microwaved. Cauliflower cheese was watery, potatoes & Yorkshire pudding were soggy , only 1 slice of beef on my plate. To top it all , the place was alive with flies & the table was sticky. The staff were just standing around & one was covered in love bites . So last time I will be visiting!! Shame , as it’s the only village pub with a restaurant & could be a great place !!

Lovely pub, great food and such a nice atmosphere. Good music too. Staff very friendly *****

Great Pub with great motorcycle 🏍 meets every Wednesday. Great beer, great food, highly recommended.

Great location, staff were great and friendly, good honest pub food too, the bitter was great.

Lovely pub, great atmosphere, cracking food, helpful and friendly staff, great beer garden and set in a scenic little village location. First class hospitality and service right across the board. Would highly recommend to anyone! Also hosts a great, well organised bike night with a barbecue once a month on a Thursday.

Took my family to lunch to celebrate fathers day,and everything was fantastic from the service to the food absolutely amazing😊

Great food for a reasonable price! Super friendly staff!

Welcoming pub with friendly staff, great food and good atmosphere. Food prices reasonable.

About 4 p.m. on sunday 2 June. V Quiet didnt expect any service. Got some very reasonably priced grub, very quick and friendly service. Amazing Prawn cocktail and lovely chips. Many thanks

Found this place whilst out geocaching. Great pub food

Great pub with decent selection of beers and really tasty food. It's close the several thrift shops and had a decent outside seating area to catch some sun. It's also dog friendly which is a bonus. Staff was friendly and food came quick.

Ridiculously good food for a village pub. Well, ridiculously good food, period. Lovely place, too.

Nice place. Pleasant staff. A very filling sandwich, maybe we shouldn't have had a side order of chips, but they were crisp and nicely cooked. A superb pint of Sussex ale. No complaints.

Visited The Bull for a Wednesday Biker evening, with my brother in law. Always good. Friendly group and a really nice burger. Plenty of staff to serve. Recommended!!

Always a good meal and friendly staff. Though my partner is not happy they have changed the recipe for hot wings!! We particularly like the steak night which is a Monday I think where you get 2 lovely steak meals and a bottle of wine. Might even go tomorrow..

Great country pub brilliant food would recommend 👌

We came across this pub accidently. Very warm welcome, but I think we arrived just after the lunchtime rush. The lady serving was a bit tired. Took a while to be served. Lovely menu, but food wasn't the best. Maybe we chose the wrong thing, because most of the food we saw coming out looked delicious. We would try this place again.

We had an amazing meal at The Bull Inn at lunchtime today. All the staff were really friendly and welcoming, even offering me some bitter to try as it wasn't a brewer I'd tried before (it was great, I bought a pint). The chicken Thai red curry was amazing, loads of food, great taste and nice level of spice. Both our meals were reasonably priced, large and not too quick or too slow in arriving. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to eat in the area

I've hoped for something better.

Beautiful pub we loved all of the fairy lights food was amazing at a reasonable price. Good and friendly service

What an amazing Pub and restaurant. Food was amazing, really cool place to go.

Lovely pub looking forward to going back this weekend

Lively pub, great food and atmosphere. They allow dogs 🐕 and do the best milkshakes ever. A good place to stop for a bite to eat. I forgot to take photos sadly but take my word for it, it’s really worth a visit ♥️

Absolutely amazing!! Will always travel to come to here and it’s over an hour away!!

I visited this wonderful pub quite a bit before Covid but not since. We happened to be driving past on Saturday, returning from Tenterden, and i remembered where it was. In short, best food i have had for some while. The Blacksmiths in Ninfield is excellent, and this is right up there. Highly recommended. Great beer selection, great staff and very popular.

Great food. Friendly staff. Great.

Enjoyable lunch time. Service was good. Only one real ale on the hand pump. I had the vegetable flatbread which was nice but had a lot of garlic on it, hence the 4 stars. The pie of the day looked amazing.

They managed to give us a table for 12.30 at short notice as we'd heard good things about their Sunday roast. We arrived early and were seated. Our drinks arrived promptly and we ordered 2 roasts and a liver and bacon. Absolutely delicious food and good value for money. £14.95 for a roast. The server informed us what roasts were on as there's no Sunday menu. Me and my mum shared the vegetable plate and there was more than enough. Really tasty beef and pork, roast potatoes and gravy. Will definitely return. Good idea to book and it was getting busy with people eyeing up a table only to find it was reserved. Worth the drive from ashford!

Good pub, quite small, food and service were very good. wouldn't stay in the off site rooms again however.

Very welcoming, lush food, the service was great. Chicken burger was amazing, onion rings also amazing. Presentation of the food was also very good. Highly recommend

Another fantastic visit to this lovely pub, December 22nd 2023.

Booked a fairly last minute table for 19 people for a Christmas get together and could not have had a better experience. Really friendly and helpful staff who went out of their way to make sure we had a great time. Food (roasts and puds) was absolutely delicious and very generous. Thanks so much for a wonderful time snd being so accommodating of our little ones. We will be back for sure!

We had a superb meal here last night. The food was cooked and presented so well. I’m currently going through chemo and my eating is not good at the best of times but I had a prawn cocktail starter which was perfectly sized, I had a vegetable spring rolls starter which were lovely and crispy and a side of mushrooms that were very tasty. Hubby had fish and chips snd the fish was cooked to perfection - light and fluffy - I tried it too! Our friend had pork belly which he polished off. I also tried that - lovely! So often I order food and can’t eat it but not this night. Thank you for making eating a pleasure for me. We will be back again. And the service was spot on too!

What a lovely dining experience at the Bull in Rolvenden yesterday. I had one of the loveliest fillet steaks I’ve ever had, and cooked to perfection. Even the side salad was amazing! Not something I’d usually comment on. The young ladies who greeted and served me were fantastic! I’ll definitely be back. Thank you for a terrific meal.

Just had Liver and Bacon, excellent value. Pub nicely decorated for Christmas .

Stopped here for lunch on our walk. Despite being very busy everything was excellent 👌

Had a really lovely lunch here. Staff were very helpful and courteous. The food was freshly prepared and very tasty. I would recommend booking in advance though. We also booked into one of the lodges for the night, and they were spotless, spacious and very comfortable. Ross, one of the family who own the Bull Inn, was a fantastic host and made our stay a pleasurable one. Would definitely recommend it and will be back.

Great food, looked stunning inside.

Amazing find on route back from Tenterden. Lovely staff from the moment we stepped through the door, showed to a restaurant table. Felt very welcomed and enjoyed taking time over the choice on the menu. I had the 'Clucking Big One' and mum the 'Veggie burger' as we had said it was a 'chips night!' Well ...we weren't disappointed....apart from the fact I couldn't finish it! Fab food, lovely atmosphere and a full belly. Thank you The Bull Inn 💪👍😁

Always good food and plenty of it

The lasagne was smothered in cheddar and tasted strongly of beef stock cubes the pasta overcooked. Shame because in the past the food has been nice, the macaroni cheese was sloppy and again smothered in cheddar, the service was very friendly

Really friendly and helpful staff. Excellent food.

Mediocre Dining. Partners Roast was good but other dishes on the Menu need a bit of attention. Ploughman's was really poor. No Cheese or Onions. 4 walnut halves and a bit of Ham with a few leaves. Presentation was really poor. Dish should not have been advertised as Ploughman's. Onions may have been in the Side Salad but normally Onions would be of the Pickled variety.

As soon as we walked in, there was the WOW factor. Warm & friendly hosts & the food was amazing. The sweet & sour chicken (Hong Kong style) was the best Mum & I have EVER tasted (and at 78 & 53 that's some going!). Definitely recommend 100% and look forward to coming back again.

Lovely pub with great food and even better service. Thank you!

Was there last night had a lovely relaxing evening and great food
