The Bull Inn. Clifton-upon-Dunsmore in Rugby

First time at The Bill having arrived on a canal boat a short walk away. We were greeted on arrival and made to feel so welcome. The menu was explained to us and we quickly ordered. The food arrived in no time and was just excellent. Honestly one of the best Sunday dinners we’ve had in a long while. Definitely recommend

Didn't rate food as did not have any but a great day, and The Record Covers were brilliant

Nice pub, great staff, definitely recommend the food, proper size portions that are cooked fresh and genuinely taste superb.. lovely meal

Fish and chips was awful. Batter was like rubber and strange colour inside and appeared to have been re-cooked. Oven chips were undercooked and hard in the middle. Son had a steak which he enjoyed although his chips were also undercooked. The real ale I chose was cloudy and only drank half as it had a strange taste. Should have complained but having visited 4 pubs previously and unable to get a meal we were too exhausted to bother. We will not return.

Fantastic pub great food and lots of events like live music, quiz etc

Lovely pub, friendly staff, the food was really good. Will visit here again.

Another great meal at the bull inn, tasted divine. Cruzcampo was exceptional supper chilled, would highly recommend!

Lovely Sunday roast, great friendly service and lovely pub. We can’t wait to go again.

Excellent service, Great value mini meals, quite sufficient for me, a 50 year old male with a decent appetite!

Lovley Sunday roast and friendly service.

Stopped here for Saturday lunch , food was delicious and a nice sided portion. Staff were friendly and the beer also tasted really fresh.

On arrival we were made very welcome and taken to our table. The service was incredibly quick! The food came out quickly and was piping hot. There was a good choice of Sunday roasts and was offered small, standard or large portions which we thought an excellent idea. Our dog was also welcome. Would definitely visit again if we find ourselves in the area.

We booked by phone for Sunday lunch. We both had standard size lunch,which was excellent. The staff were all very friendly the service was extremely good,and we could not have been made more welcome (our dog included).

A awesome local pub with a great atmosphere 😀 especially when the sport is on the protector screen. The licences are both very friendly as are all the bar staff. There is a good choice of real Alex's and lagers and also spirits. The food menu is reasonably priced and has plenty to choose from.

How about being open during published hours!!!!

Great pub, good food & friendly staff

OK pint of Landlord - not a great range of beers. Flat Coca Cola served from the gun with no lemon. £7.85 for two drinks so I think it’s fair to expect a bit more. Very average experience. Dog friendly except when they are busy apparently. Good service.

What a wonderful pub! Lovely space and amazing customer service - gentleman behind the bar very attentive throughout our time there & kept the fire stocked with logs. Food was fabulous, no more than £16pp, most meals between £10-12, not only is it cheap, but the portion sizes are HUGE! Massively impressed, the only disappointment is that we don’t live near to come more of ten! Could not recommend enough.

Excellent Pub this is, take the family here regularly. The Amstel is Excellent, bar staff are very friendly!

Booked by telephone for Sunday Lunch and received a friendly welcome, very accommodating ( you can book on line ) We were running late due to traffic and I was told the chef would stay on in order to serve us which was very helpful. We ordered the small Sunday roast and a standard Sunday roast ( see photo ) which was more than enough.The atmosphere was warm and cosy with a log fire where we sat They are also dog friendly 🐶 Would recommend 👍🏼

We’ve eaten a few times at The Bull and never been disappointed. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

Excellent food and service .. recommended Sunday lunch

Brilliant village pub, great atmosphere and very dog friendly!

Went on Saturday 17th August 4 people. The chef must have been away as the meal wasnt very good. One of us had risotto, very thick & claggy, my cesar salad wasnt up to scratch & my sister had soup of the day which was more the consistency of a thick yoghurt. Wont be going again.

Lovely place, food was fantastic. The staff were very pleasant and welcoming, if we lived this side of town we would certainly be back more often

Excellent food and service on a Sunday, with some great seating outside.

Nice place, nice food and great staff.

Best pub I've visited this year, Craig and the team can not do enough and to top it off it's dog friendly such a bonus. Food is delicious Chicken caesar salad 10/10. Thank you

The 8oz Rump Steak is the best I've had in ages followed by a lovely pinot grigio. Team are lovely really friendly and welcoming. Dog welcome as well which is amazing.

Second time here and the food was once again delicious with awesome service from the team. Loverly and cosy place, breakfasts are 👌🏻

very British atmospheric pub, fantastic quality classic pub food at a very reasonable price. absolutely recommend

This local public house has had new management for a few months now and I have visited on several occasions. The beers are kept on tip top condition nice and cold. The food is very good in portions and taste, so much better than the previous owners. Sunday lunch is a highlight of the week. If you like me visited before the new management the standard is way - way above what it was before. I could feel happy and comfortable recommending the Bull at Clifton on Dunsmore Rugby to all. Do go and give it a try, tables can be book online and at busy times I recommend this but they always try and find room for you.

Lovely pub and the food was excellent price and for the quality of food. We took our family dog who was welcome inside and out. Nice size garden for him to roam about. The only reason l gave 4 stars is it would of been nice to have the lighter lunch food at the weekend. It was only available on the menu during the week. Would definitely come again and recommend

We had a suprise party there, food was really good better than we expected. Staff were brilliant with anything we needed. Would definately recommend. Great place for children also.

The food is not to be missed, especially can recommend the burgers. Cruzcampo on tap, friendly atmosphere, staff are great, really lovely family friendly local

Honestly probably the worst Roast I've had in my life. Wish I'd taken a picture to share. It was all stone cold. The potatoes were totally raw. The Yorkshire pudding (is a stretch calling it that) was totally flat and rock hard, not sure that's actually what it was meant to be. If they don't know how to make them they'd be better off not serving them or buying pre bought. We also ordered a side of pigs in blankets, not sure they even saw the oven. Very dangerous to serve undercooked pork. The service was also ridiculously slow, there was one waitress for the entire pup. We were there for a birthday so needless to say it was a big disappointment.

Lovely pub. Food terrible. Ordered Nans chicken it was burnt, not sure that’s how Nan would have served it. Other items came missing ingredients!

Great food and super helpful friendly staff..

Absolutely fantastic place. Plenty of seating and a lovely beer garden and play area out the back. Will definitely be returning. The landlord, his wife and all the staff were very welcoming x

Excellent welcome and service today at lunchtime, accommodating 9 of us with no reservation! Everyone enjoyed their lunch, drinks and friendly service. Thanks :)

The month I decided to start a diet and I find the best breakfast at a great price. Sausages good, bacon good, beans good, eggs and tomatos cooked perfectly and the fried bread wow. See you again soon.

The family has been here a few times after its changed ownership. New staff are lovely, food is great, and overall, the pub has a wonderful vibe. I am so glad the new owners stayed true to a classic English village pub establishment. The steak and ale pie were delicious, and the burgers looked incredible. I hear the Sunday Roast is worthwhile and a must try. All the best to the new ownership, and thank you for keeping traditional village pubs alive!

Under new management. Looking good so far.

Nice chilled hour or 2 there Sunday 31st March

Really lovely pub, the staff were all so accommodating and welcoming. An all round amazing feel.

Breakfast is amazing, good quality ingredients at a reasonable price.

Great pub lots of good energy with nice food and good service. The place to be.

Don't really want to share this secret incase I struggle to get a table next time!! Great Sunday lunch at a really reasonable price, all freshly cooked and nice to have a variety of veg. Really understanding and accommodating of gluten free requirements.

Just had another top-tier breakfast from The Bull in Clifton - what a great way to start the weekend! The new management have completely reimagined the place, with every aspect now better than before in my opinion. The owners and staff are very friendly and you can tell they are really enthusiastic about delivering a great all-round experience for the customer. Can’t wait to try out their Sunday roast soon as I’ve heard it’s AMAZING! 🐂

Great Quiz Night and very good selection of beers - Sea Fury highly recommended!!! Also very good food and friendly atmosphere always. Stan and his bar team are always helpful and friendly. If you came here before Stan took over, you owe it to yourself to give it another try - a completely different experience now!

Good village pub atmosphere, decent beers at very competitive prices and excellent service from friendly staff. Can't comment on the food as I haven't tried it but anecdotal evidence tells me it's very good

Very rear I can give a 10 out of 10 as a Google review, but the food was excellent,the staff are very friendly atmosphere is perfect, lovely pint of Guinness, keep up the good work see u again soon,

We visited about 3 weeks ago. I struggled to rate this experience any higher than 3 out of 5. Since then however I have heard they now have requested that villagers in the adjacent cottages do not park in their car park. Not only has this been the practice for as long as I can remember ( 55+years). It hasn't gone down well in the community. I for one won't be going back or recommending it to other people now. NB for those not local the car park is huge

An amazing breakfast, quality ingredients, great value....highly recommended

Popped in for a pint mid dog walk. Very welcoming! I will be back 😃

Good food, recently renovated, excellent service and good pricing. Highly recommend

After having a main for 7 and breakfast for 5 people. The food and service was very good no complaints at all. We have a super village pub at last.

Very good food and service, 13 people and all was happy.

Went for Christmas day dinner, cannot fault any members of staff who were all lovely, warm and welcoming. Nice to see a local pub run by a family with 2 generations working together. Food was delicious especially the pudding and everything from drinks to food was reasonably priced. Definitely will be visiting again.

So glad to see the pub open again! Nice atmosphere and reasonable price 👌

Lovely food and had a great greeting from the staff! Under new management doing really well with high demand At Christmas time! Highly recommend keep it up 🍺 Craig at the bar was very friendly and welcoming

Says open but looks closed down? Didn't realise pub had closed down :( Stopped for a drink whilst walking the dog but was disappointed unfortunately.

I visited regularly until it closed and was looking forward to my recent visit, but unfortunately was very disappointed. Pool table in front of where a warm welcoming fire and sofas originally were has ruined the cosy welcome. No atmosphere. Food was not great - fish overcooked and dry; not an inspiring menu and overpriced for what ends up on the plate. Acoustics in the bar were hollow. The environment and decor was like a cheap outdated holiday cafe. One good point - the staff were lovely.

Great place!! Me and the wife decided to take the dog for a walk and then popped in for something to eat as the pub is dog Friendly. Great traditional Pub with great food, the side of chips was huge in size and the chips themselves were massively thick but I am not complaining 😁 Great place and definitely will return 👍

Claimed their roast dinner was home made. Excluding the very over cooked veg, I am fairly certain the rest was all heated up and ready made (from frozen). I was quite disappointed, especially for the price. I wont be returning.

Dear lord, the Sunday roast was terrible. Tasted like a microwave meal. Gravy was bisto granules fur sure. Avoid

Sadly, it was freezing cold, although heating was on. Lady behind bar was lovely. Food was disappointing no Lemon for scampi and chips, ran out tartar sauce.

Lovely pub, food was very reasonable price and really nice. Would definitely go back

Such a sad story, I'm afraid. My father died a few days ago and wished to have his wake at The Bull. We sent a message to the new owners Joe and Natalie 8 days ago asking them to come up with a menu and some ideas. They didn't respond other than to tell us it was £10 per head and that would be £1,500 in total. We were shocked at the astronomical price and asked what kind of food we would get. He told us he had never done a buffet before since taking over the pub from his dad. We decided that this isn't suitable so we asked if he would allow us to have The Chefs Kitchen to deal with the catering in order to provide the top quality food we want for anyone attending the wake and the answer was simply no, you have to buy our food. So following on from all this we have had no choice to change the venue. Bob visited this pub nearly every day for the last 15 to 20 years and this is how they treat him. Sheer desperation and daylight robbery. Honestly I can't put into words just how annoyed I am.

Nice pub, very welcoming staff, good food and plenty of it.

Nice pub serving food and drink.

Management has changed recently and this place is more friendly than it used to be. We called in at lunch time whilst out walking. We had sandwiches which came with salad and crisps on the side, lovely thick granary bread and a tasty filling. They have St Austell Proper Job and Tribute on tap which pleased my husband no end as he loves PJ! Lunch and two drinks each - just under £20, great value - oh and the pubs is lovely and clean and warm too. Recommended!

Absolutely fantastic, delicious mixed grill which had ‘everything’ and more and amazing fish and chips . Generous portion sizes . So fresh. Highly recommend. Should’ve taken a picture but once it arrived we got tucked it in . Thank you 😊

Nice chilled atmosphere not your usual village pub where everyone stops and looks at the outsiders. Lol! Food looked and smelt really good, will update when I get a chance to try it for myself!

Fantastic pub with really friendly staff. They make you feel really welcome and like part of the family. The chef is amazing with a huge repertoire of gluten free meals that everyone can enjoy, his gluten free chocolate fudge cake is to die for!

Lovely pub with very friendly staff. The menu is varied, the portions generous and tasty, the prices reasonable. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

Nice place, great service and the food is simply wonderful.

Great food good price and friendly staff

Excellent food. Not expensive. Gluten Free options. We will be going back.

Really friendly atmosphere good selection of beers, great band on.

Nice to see a pub making a go of it with specials on the food and events.

Nice pub, had a burger with chips and aalad, very good. Friendly staff too.

Very nice pub . Brilliant group very nice staff . Staff go out there way to help you .

Nice little pub. Landlord very friendly and helpful and the food was good and reasonably priced.

Visited on a Saturday evening, booked table for 5pm. Lots of parking and dog friendly. There was four in our party and two were gluten free. Very good gluten free options. Good selection of beers and gins available and even provided water for the dog. Will definitely visit again if in the area.

Came here for a group meal last night and wasn't disappointed! Lovely traditional pub with excellent service and atmosphere. We came for a Christmas meal and was 20 of us, all of which had good meals and mainly steaks which were all cooked to our liking. Cannot recommend enough and will be back soon

Came for a Sunday lunch, bringing an elderly relative from a care home for a day out. Dan couldn't have been more accommodating, put us in a side room, wore a mask all the time, was really understanding about the entire situation. Plus... The food was great and the portion sizes absolutely enormous. Really great spot

A group of us came for Sunday roast. Food was delicious, meats tender, and portions generous. The large roast lived up to its name! Friendly staff and good service.

Food is served hot, slightly slow as cooked fresh, not just heated up. Very good value. Very friendly

Great DJ, needs to be a regular thing and advertised well

I came here on the weekend for a family friends birthday meal. The pub was lovely, a real traditional pub with proper pub grub food. There was 10 of us at the table, and even though there was a larger number of people than the standard, our food did take quite a while to come out, we waited around an hour for everyone to be eating at the same time. I ordered a rare fillet steak which was cooked to perfection though, could not fault the taste of the food one bit. The staff were really friendly and gave good customer service. The atmosphere was great and the whole place was clean. Ultimately, despite the long wait, it wouldn't put me off coming back again.

Loved it ,polite staff,great food atmosphere was fantastic

Absolutely shocking service and the food was terrible, cold when it arrived even the gravy was cold I will never go there again I'd rather starve!!!

Pleasant country pub, serving good, honest food!

Excellent pub. Excellent atmosphere. Excellent food.

Service was really slow. Staff behind the bar were not even serving others and didnt even acknowledge we were waiting. Drinks though were not too expensive

Decent beer, a bit pricey but excellent beer garden and very friendly staff.

Limited cask ales, I must admit that the food looked good that was been served.

Car show was great and the people are always friendly. The staff are really helpful.

First visit, with our son, who lives close by. Lovely country pub, which was really busy. Everyone was really friendly, it wasn't at all 'clicky'. Certainly we'll be going back again.
