The Bull Inn in South Oxfordshire

Fantastic food (best fish and chips I've had in years), great beer selection and a warm inviting atmosphere, I will definitely be back for more!

Having purchased tickets for the Oktoberfest day, after hearing about it from a friend, we were very impressed at the effort that had been put in, to make it so authentic at The Bull Inn. With a live band playing authentic music, and staff all wearing the traditional regalia associated with Oktoberfest, it was a sight to behold. A huge marquee housed the event, which had plenty of seating. Traditional German beers were available in the marquee, in one litre Stein earthenware 'glasses', as well as wine, and you still had the option for standard pub drinks from the Pub, plus traditional german food cooked on a bbq. What stood out for us was how friendly everyone was. From the owners, to the staff and the very friendly locals. We had a wonderful evening, and even though it's 25 minutes away from us, I think we've found our new 'local'! Congratulations to everyone at The Bull Inn, you really made it a memorable night. Thank you.

Booked this for lunch for 9 of us as the start of a hen weekend Pub is charming and has a lovely outside area. Food and service was amazing, shame I don't live nearer.

What a BEAUTIFUL Inn with fabulous staff who are warm, welcoming and serve a wonderful meal. We attended having wanted to eat out away from our bland and rather non descript hotel (that is another review!) When we arrived, we were greeted by a bubbly member of staff who found us a table and promptly took our drinks orders. We were given a menu - the menu is small but there is a great selection on there. My husband had the ham, egg and chips and I the salmon salad with chips (it was a weekend away so swapped out the healthier new potato's!) The food was served promptly and was absolutely delicious. A wonderful little gem in a beautiful village.

I often stop in for a swift pint and its very nice. the staff are lovely, the garden is good and there is parking,

muy linda la comida y deliciosa (¡muy rica!) la recomiendo mucho la verdad es muy lindo el ambiente (es rustico)

I have eaten in and this week took a takeaway roast dinner home for the family. Can't fault it, Can't cook this at home for the price. Fantastic value for money and everyone can have their preferred meat choice with none of the hassle.

Delicious take away Sunday roast. I love a roast but don't often have the chance to have one. Usually very busy on a Sunday as a full time carer for my husband and 99 year old mum. This was perfect, amazing value and lovely food. Picked up our meals all ready on time and beautifully packed. Nothing was over cooked so meant heating up later resulted in a lovely meal. I blasted the roast potatoes snd yorkshires in my air fryer and gently reheated (safely) the veg and meat. Meant I could do my mum's shopping, get petrol etc. etc. and then sit down with a lovely roast dinner. Much appreciated!

We received a smiling and warm attentive welcome on arrival. The service was wonderful and friendly. Food was exceptional. We had gluten free fish and chips. Probably one of the best fish and chips dinners ever. Other diners food also looked amazing. Really wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and will return next time we are in the area. Very impressed all round.

Not very friendly if they don’t know you if you are not local to the area would not bother going again plus travel a long way to get there

A very cosy country pub with a relaxing garden, located in a historic village outside Oxford. We had an enjoyable lunch. £30 for two including drinks. Friendly staff and easy parking. We will be back.

Arrived early for booked slot but no problem. Courteous staff and god menu choices. Generous portions cooked to perfection, best to avoid breakfast beforehand.! Only disappointment was chosen dessert had run out. Will definitely return.

I have been to this lovely little country pub a couple of times in the past week. The first was for drinks and the service was excellent as was the ambience. Its a small pub but lovely on the inside and a perfect setting on a sunny day outside. There is a rear patio that is also good for outdoor dining. I've also been here last weekend for one of the best Sunday pub lunches that I have ever had! The chicken wing starts were amazing and came with a healthy amount of tasty sauce. I had the road lamb which, as the title of this review says, was as good as it gets. I can't think of a better sunday pub lunch - good sized servings, beautifully cooked and served with excellent, friendly service. Well done to all at the Bull Inn - you have created a perfect little pub :)

Would have given it 5 if we'd had choice of full menu but what we did have was just right. Coronation chicken sandwich and bbq Jack fruit stuffed potato. This lovely traditional local is a community pub with a great garden and patio for those sunny, warmer days. Indoors is calm and cosy, with a good range of ales and wine. Friendly staff, easy parking, great village for a wander and plenty community events. Pizza night and karaoke nights, too. Apparently, Sunday lunch is a must book event!

Lovely village pub, small but that's what gives it a cozy cottage character. People are very friendly and food is great. Very good selection of beers, quite a few local ales. There is a nice back garden area to sit and enjoy the sun!!!

What a wonderful and welcoming place to eat. We wanted a simple lunch and took a chance on The Bull even though we couldn't find their menu on-line. We were welcomed from the moment we walked in and although most of the tables had been pre-booked a lovely table was found for us. I had the Thursday special which were Wild Boar sausages. These were gloriously spicy and served with a nice salsa that cooled the palate and the most delicious chips that I have ever tasted. My husband had the burger which he really enjoyed. This is a marvelous community pub and I highly recommend it.

Great food with very friendly service. Delicious cesar salad with coronation chicken top. We had light lunch as we were going out for dinner later.

This is a lovely pub with a nice outdoor sitting area and play area for kids. We visited on Tuesday to try the authentic Goan food prepared by Sophie. It was a satisfying meal with well-balanced spices that were well balanced. ... It's a must-try.

Lovely meal had with family. Good choice of food and drink available. Very nice and tasty! Cosy fire kept going to add to the warm atmosphere we experienced. Thank you!

Visited as a family for a weekend lunch, we were all very impressed by the quality of the food and the friendly service. Lots of hand sanitiser available, one way system explained on entry, tables spaced well apart and the waiter was seen washing his hands frequently. We had a groupon voucher but will definitely be returning as even at full price the food would be very good value. Good selection of drinks including local ales which were also reasonably priced. Thank you for a super meal in a friendly environment.

Reservamos basándonos en críticas anteriores. No aprecié antes de reservar, es un pub operado y de propiedad comunitaria. Qué gran idea y por mucho tiempo que continúe. Buena comida de pub, salchichas y puré con excelente salsa de chalota y pastel de pollo y goteras, realmente bueno.Excelente relación calidad-precio, personal realmente amable y atento. Bien hecho.

Fui a cenar con un vale de groupon y tengo que decir que la comida era excelente, el servicio excelente y me sentí muy seguro.Las mesas estaban bien espaciadas y nuestro camarero llevaba una máscara, haciéndonos sentir muy cómodosLa comida estaba bien preparada y sin duda volveremos en un futuro próximo.

Un par de amigos y yo fuimos al toro para probar su noche temática mexicana, que incluía un plato para compartir de diferentes entrantes mexicanos (¡los jalapés de queso crema estaban para morirse!), Una selección de platos principales de fajitas entre los que podía elegir un postre y un coctel!El plato principal vino con todo y más de lo que se puede pedir en un mexicano con dos tipos de conchas, guacamole, crema agria, quasa con queso y salsa. ¡Me quedé contento y sorprendido de cómo pudimos conseguir un banquete tan delicioso para 19 por persona!¡Definitivamente volveremos para otra noche temática!

Tuvimos un maravilloso almuerzo de domingo aquí con una oferta de Groupon. Fantástico precio. El personal era muy amable y la oferta de Groupon tenía muchas opciones. El asado del domingo no era nada especial, solo un buen asado casero. El pudín de caramelo pegajoso estaba delicioso. Precioso pueblo y jardín también.

Fuimos a almorzar en nuestro aniversario y tengo que decir que la comida fue excelente, el servicio excelente y se sintió muy seguro. Nos ofrecieron una mesa adentro, pero decidimos que ya que era un hermoso día soleado para sentarnos afuera en la nueva área del patio. Las mesas se colocaron mostrando verde para desinfectar y nuestro camarero usó una máscara, lo que nos hizo sentir muy cómodos al estar en el grupo de edad un poco más vulnerable. Comí langostinos para comenzar y mi esposo el queso feta y las aceitunas y para los platos principales, pastel de pollo y puerros y cordero, seguido de un trío de pequeños helados. La comida estaba perfectamente preparada y sin duda volveremos a probar por la noche. El pub está ubicado en un pueblo pintoresco, perfecto para caminar después del almuerzo.

My husband and I visited her yesterday on a Groupon voucher delayed from earlier in the year. One way system in place with plenty of hand sanitiser available. All the food we had was exceptionally nice with a decent interval between courses which I prefer as I don't like to feel I'm being rushed. Unfortunately I really couldn't manage a desert which was a shame as there were some nice choices but maybe that's a perfect excuse for a return visit. All the staff we had dealings with were extremely pleasant and nothing seemed to be too much trouble.

The staff were extremely helpful and pleasant. The children's meals were standard fair pub grub. Mine and my partner's meals had to be sent back as the chicken supreme was rubbery, in a watery sauce and my partner's lamb was fat and gristle with a tasteless sauce and something that definitely didn't present as gratin potatoes. Perhaps it was an off-day but we left there hungry... it was a shame as previous reviews had been so complimentary.

Moved to this charming village 5 days ago, family of young adults came to visit and wanted to try the local pub for sunday lunch, a wonderful traditional roast, cooked beautifully with seasonal fresh vegetables, service was outstanding, garden was lovely, everywhere was clean and excellent social distancing procedures in place, oh and very good value, will definitely be going back, would love to see a ploughman’s on the menu, going again this weekend with parents and dog who was also made very welcome last weekend!

Just returned from a wonderful evening dinner with family. The quality of food, drinks and service was superb. Our server, Morgan was extremely pleasant and helpful. My compliments to the chef and staff for an extremely enjoyable evening, so much so that we immediately rebooked. Thanks.

Vinnay certainly hasn't been putting his feet up during lockdown. A new shorter, sharper menu did not disappoint, it was difficult to choose but in the end the chicken supreme with wild mushroom sauce and the lamb with dauphinois potatoes both with perfectly cooked broccoli spears were both delicious. The social distancing was handled well with brief explanations where necessary. The new terrace is a lovely space, I kind of hope that not too many tables are added post social distancing.

Fantastic buffet served up for 20 cyclists of a certain age, hot and cold, we were all properly stuffed and then cheese and biscuits arrived, including a delicious slab of Devon Blue. We will be back!

Arrived to be told that they had no record of my booking. Got seated, took around half an hour to get drinks. 50 mins for our starter which was incomplete. Then informed that they had ran out of steak so had to change order. Main came without the veg and were told it would be a few mins. Plate of broccoli arrived after we had finished our mains. The burger was frozen (if not frozen a very badly cooked) Generally poor and would not recommend until improvement madeIt appeared they were short staffed and the waitress tried but I think she was embarrassed.

Fuimos a almorzar un sábado. Agradable, cálida bienvenida, buen ambiente. Bebidas bien, menú primer indicio de problemas. Se tacharon numerosos elementos en el menú (sin pizarra), luego nuestro anfitrión explicó que algunas cosas estaban realmente disponibles, pero no todas y cuando pedimos, ¡explicó que algunos elementos solo estaban disponibles en parte! Tardaron unos 50 minutos en llegar nuestra comida, demasiado tiempo sin explicación. 1 comida estuvo bien, pero la ensalada César simplemente no era César. Solo una ensalada con cebolla roja y pimientos, sin crutones, parmesano mínimo. Para ser justos, luego nos preguntaron si todo estaba bien y respondimos "no realmente", así que nos ofrecieron bebidas en la casa a modo de disculpa. Aceptamos café que no fue agradable. Pero este pub necesita poner en orden su casa o no volveremos, lo cual es una pena ya que vivimos bastante cerca.

Great place for a nice and relaxing break. Clean, tidy with very friendly staff. Our fish and chips was burned through!

Esta ha sido la segunda vez que visitamos The Bull y nuevamente no nos decepcionó. Lo que es muy notable cuando recién llegamos al restaurante / bar es la bienvenida que recibimos del bar y los camareros (los lugareños también son muy amables). La comida está recién preparada y deliciosa, y recibimos un excelente servicio de todo el personal. Volveremos.

Nos quedamos en el Oxford Belfry y no queríamos quedarnos en el hotel, así que miré los pubs cercanos y decidimos llamar a The Bull para tomar algo y cenar. ¡La mejor decisión que tomamos!En el momento en que entramos, el encantador personal joven detrás del bar nos hizo sentir muy bienvenidos, especialmente la maravillosa jovencita (lo siento, nunca te pregunté tu nombre, pero fuiste increíble)La cerveza y el vino eran geniales, los lugareños eran amables y la comida era deliciosa.El menú es fantástico solo quiero que quieras para una comida de pub un viernes por la noche.Gracias The Bull, ¡volveremos!

My husband and I had a lovely evening tonight. Pub food was very tasty and the service was great. Nice touch with the candles on the tables. It's a community pub, so great atmosphere with the locals enjoying company and good pub food, drink and snacks. Everyone was really friendly. We will definately return.

The Bull is a community run pub so isn't necessarily open all day every day so check their website for up to date information or phone them. The beers are well kept and great prices and the food is really good. It's all homemade and the chips are some of the best you will find. An excellent place to have lunch.

Excellent fish cakes good value, tasty and well presented. Golden proper chips are not to be misses.

Visited the Bull with a Jack FM voucher, we like to get out and about and try the pubs of the region.Very nice, well presented pub with plenty of olde worlde charm. Wonderful hostess (sorry I forget your name, how rude of me..) who looked after us.We were both delighted with the food. Fresh and well cooked.Only minor issue was the white wine was too warm in the bottle to really enjoy without adding ice, but a very minor point.We will return and recommend.

Took a walk through the village and stopped off for a bite of lunch. Friendly service provided a pleasant experience with food service promptly and with pleasure. Recommended for something rural and charming.

Second visit to this lovely community-run village pub in picturesque countryside. The food was excellent, service friendly and prompt, in spite of the fact that it was Bank Holiday and therefore very busy. Highly recommended.

We really enjoyed this Yes, we had a Jack FM voucher but the service was brilliant, very friendly girl behind bar And we had melt in the mouth rib eyed steak..thanks

Would recommend this pub to anyone, whether you are wanting a family Sunday lunch, a quiet mid-week meal or a friendly drink.

Após ficar três dias hospedados no Belmond busquei uma opção fora para meu bolso sobreviver um pouco. Um típico pub inglês: ótimo para tomar cerveja! Já a comida bem fraquinha. Enfim no final ou você morre no Belmond ou morre aqui; difícil.......

Lovely Old Tradional Pub with a car park. Meals are available with the slant on good old pub favourites.

Lovely quaint village pub. Staff friendly and knowledgeable, brilliant deals on food. We went on £2.99 for any burger night (usual price ~£10), they were amazing and not just because of the price. I’d have been as impressed with food if paid full price. Honestly, I’d move to the village to be close to this gem of a pub!

Todo fue genial. Llamé para poder comer con un perro en el bar y cuando nos presentamos nos habían reservado una mesa. La gran selección de cervezas y la comida era increíble y una excelente relación calidad-precio servida por gente encantadora. ¡Así es como deberían ser todos los pubs! John, Leigh y sus familias

We were a very large group and were looked after very well indeed. Food was amazing. Thank you so much!

Hicimos una comida rápida en nuestro aniversario de boda un martes por la noche. Hubo una cálida bienvenida y nos ofrecieron nuestra elección de mesa. Optamos por tener 4 entrantes como platos pequeños para compartir, acompañados de un pedido personalizado de ensalada de col (el chef obedeció a nuestra solicitud), una porción de papas fritas y un poco de salsa chimichurri al lado. Un montón de sabores audaces para platos que obviamente fueron preparados desde cero y todos estaban deliciosos. Nuestro único aspecto negativo fue que la salsa tártara que acompañaba a las tortas de pescado era un poco demasiado ácida. Aparte de eso. . . absolutamente ideal!

As the title suggests we were looking for somewhere just off the m40 to break our journey and definitely didn't want overpriced fast food at a service station.

I visited here recently having not been since the recent change of management. Lovely friendly lady behind the bar and the most huge and delicious geek salad i have had outside of Greece!!

Durante el fin de semana, conduciendo alrededor buscando un pub para almorzar el domingo, encontré esta pequeña joya de pub, administrado por la comunidad, un personal tan amable que la manejaba, la comida era muy buena, no era necesario tener solo un asado de domingo, había pescado hamburguesa, la mayoría. Increíbles paprilka y papas fritas con queso parmesano, hamburguesa de cerdo y manzana y baya crumbl OMG estaba delicioso, cervezas especiales a 3 pinta. Pasé 3 horas allí, ojalá viviera en el pueblo y fuera su mejor cliente. Buena suerte a todos ellos, ellos entregan lo que quieres de un pub

Locale pieno di fascino (anno 1634) buona birra e cibo, tanta gentilezza, ambiente pressoché unico, il tutto immerso nella campagna inglese con paesini vivi e moderni, ma preservati nelle loro caratteristiche architetturali.

Solo nos dejamos tomar una bebida rápida hoy, cuando estábamos pasando. Cuatro cervezas de verdad en borrador: tuve el Shotover Scholar que estaba en muy buenas condiciones. El menú se ve muy extenso, por lo que volveremos en otra ocasión a comer. El pub es bastante pequeño, pero es un precioso edificio de 400 años. Aparcamiento de tamaño decente, para mayor comodidad.

A lovely weekday pint and lunch served in idyllic surroundings. Great selection of beers, food is excellent and the staff friendly and welcoming. Didn’t want to leave

We tried the new Sunday Roast menu and were delighted. We both chose the roast sirloin which I have to say was one of the best I have had in years. Succulent meat, cooked to perfection with crispy Yorkshire Pudding, roasts and a selection of winter vegetables were all delicious. This was followed by an apple crumble for me and a sticky toffee pudding for my wife, both home-cooked and most tasty. Under its new management the pub has become a deservedly popular venue.

Called in for lunch on way to Le Manoir only wanted sandwiches but sadly no sandwiches

The service was friendly and very quick! The food was delicious and we were able to take our dog into the bar which was nice! Definitley recommend!

Good ale, great food. Owned by a village co-operative. An honest English pub is becoming more of a rarity these days. Here is one of them go give them your support.

Needed somewhere for dinner halfway to the coast and the sat-nav brought us here.

We visit The Bull frequently for drinks and/or to eat. This quaint pub is at the heart of the village and feels like a real hub for locals, with plenty in every night of the week. There is a great range of beverages (I hear rumours of a cocktail menu in the making!) and the food is really great - slightly different to your normal pub grub (with the old favourites too!) but home-made, hearty and delicious.

We went back to the Bull on a half price food deal through a local radio station. It's not bad pub grub -- but only value if paying half price! We felt sorry for those people paying the full money! They offer a free glass of Prosecco or a soft drink at weekends -- but that's not much use if you are drinking beer or red wine. Outside the front there was a lot of discarded cigarette ends and litter -- and even a beer bottle chucked in a border. Not a good first impression!

Drove out to the Bull Inn after listening to adds on local radio. Found it easy enough in great Milton, parked up went in nice open fire warm atmosphere.

If you want a traditional local pub with an up to date menu, try The Bull. Food is excellent, great choice of drinks - including local ales - and lovely easy going atmosphere. Highly recommended. Dogs allowed in bar area too.

The new management have turned this around - we were a large party and all loved our food there a couple of weeks ago. Macaroni Cheese and Crayfish was amazing. Food service was very slow - the only downside. Will definitely be back.

A group of 12 arranged to meet at the Bull, because it was equidistance between all the visitors. Service and food was g

Visitamos el lugar por primera vez después de que fue administrado por una nueva administración y, por sorpresa, ¡es un encanto!

Parece que el nuevo equipo se está adaptando bien y les hicimos una prueba con nuestro grupo de 7, ¡incluyendo al menos 1 comilón!

Warm welcome from Sarah and fantastic cooking from Vinay. I usually leave the batter and just eat the fish but this was a real treat.

Se reunió con amigos para probar el nuevo menú, reservando una mesa para 4. Muy complacido de encontrar nuevas cervezas de barril también, incluyendo Proper Job (un viejo favorito) y Otter ale, además de mantener el popular Doom Bar. Con algunas de las mejores cervezas, sidras, licores y muy buenos vinos que se ofrecen, hay algo para todos. Fue agradable relajarse tomando una copa en el acogedor y característico salón, eligiendo nuestras opciones de cena de la pizarra. No mucho después de que pedimos nos invitaron a nuestra mesa, que estaba muy bien presentada. Pedimos la hamburguesa de pollo, chili, y 2 fish & chips, que eran impecables. Mi hamburguesa de pollo fue probablemente la mejor que he tenido durante años, y las papas fritas son fácilmente las mejores que he probado en Oxford. Mi esposa y mis amigos también disfrutaron mucho de su comida, lo mejor, muy bien hecho. El servicio también era genial, cálido y amable. He reservado otra mesa para el viernes a la hora del almuerzo con amigos de negocios. Todo bien, sigue así.

Un nuevo equipo se hizo cargo hace una semana y, después de haber escuchado buenos informes, decidimos intentarlo. Todavía no hay un menú completo, pero a Vinnay se le ofreció pescado y papas fritas: la pasta del pescado era la más liviana que podía y el pescado era perfectamente suculento, las papas estaban calientes, suaves dentro y la cantidad justa y los guisantes blandos. . El servicio era excelente y amable. Resulta que la cocina no estaba abierta oficialmente, pero terminaron haciendo 11 cubiertas en lugar de decepcionar a los clientes. Si esa es la actitud, entonces volveremos.
