What a wonderful little pub, we have been a few times to the bull since Dean has taken over and what a change he has made. We’ve tried the carvery and pizzas and it is all delicious we can’t wait to see what else they may have to offer. The kids love the bouncy castle and it is the best pub garden in Towcester. Well done to all the team, I feel the pub will strive again. Thank you!

Wow that knocked me sideways !! My family and I have just had a Sunday Carvery. We got there around 3pm (apparently Carvery open until 6pm) and went for our food. My beef was absolutely buggered even the guy carving said the knife was blunt, my wife’s gammon was fat with a dash of gammon, my daughter’s turkey was ok. I am still waiting for the mash to appear !!!!!! The veg was ok , good job you had roast potatoes because there was no mash. 3 Carvery’s , 1 Pint of Coke, 1 Zinfandel Blush and 2 pints of beer all for the sum of £73.37 !!!! Let me tell you at The Bull we won’t be back absolute rip off and so disappointed. I paid in full because I will vote with my feet never to return.

Lets book a Sunday lunch i said to my wife, that would be lovely she said . Shall we try the bull i said and she said yes. Got there and looked forward to nice roast. Guess what no bloody carvery and not given any other option. Why dont you just close down and become a charity shop as for pst 7 years its been run by clowns

It just reopened under new management, we went on a Sunday for a Carvery. We walked in an was given a warm friendly greeting, we were shown to our table and was given a window seat as I was using my walker, was told how it all worked, it was very organised. We got our meal it was very tasty, but my small criticism is the food could be a bit warmer. We had a lovely dessert, couldn't fault the service. Looking forward to our next visit.

Found this restaurant/pub by doing a trip advisor search & based on the reviews we decided to book a table for Saturday night via the website. Got to the restaurant/bar gave our name & was told to sit anywhere, our booking was not marked off anywhere which I thought was a bit unusual. Advised by the gentleman behind the bar that the lady whose name I didn’t take would look after us. About 20 minutes after our arrival this lady came over and said that we would need to order food at the bar, at no time were we told this & when we asked about a menu we were told it’s only pizza or carvery. So when I said this wasn’t what was on the website we were told ‘oh we’ve had a few people come in & refer to the website menu’ wouldn’t it be an idea to then take the menus off the website if people are referring to them. Neither of us wanted pizza or a carvery so had our drinks & left

We stopped off late Sunday afternoon in the hope of a delicious roast after a somewhat stressful day at hospital. We were very lucky that The Bull was able to accommodate us without a booking, at a quieter period of the day and still cooking thankfully. We both very much enjoyed our food. I had Roast Lamb with all the trimmings, everything was delicious, an excellent selection of vegetables including tasty cauliflower cheese, cabbage and lardons with well seasoned greens and carrots. Extremely tasty gravy with extra for those of us who like more than a dribble. My partner enjoyed a tasty and tender steak with lovely chips, mushroom and tomato. He helped with my vegetables too as there was plenty. Staff were welcoming and friendly and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Will definitely be back.

As a family of 8 we booked to go to the bull on Sunday for a roast on arriving we ordered drinks from the bar and were taken to our table from the point everything went downhill. We ordered three starters and asked for two kids meals to come out at the same time, after 45 minutes we had to chase our starters and then only one of the kids meals came out so had to chase again for the second. When the second kids meal came out it was piping hot and the waitress just put it straight in front of a 2year old that even myself at 34 couldn’t of eaten it that hot. It took the waitress ages to collect the plates for the starters and when she did no mains turned up and by this point we had been there for two hours. We questioned where our main was and they said it would be a couple of more minutes, one main then arrived which was the burger which looked and tasted like it had been under the hot plate for sometime. The rest of us ordered a roast and it still hadn’t appeared so we chased a different waiter who said it was on its way, 20 minutes later our original waitress appears and asked if we wanted desert by this point we hadn’t even had our mains. We explained we hadn’t had our mains and she chased them up, they finally came out and they were stone cold non edible and one of our party went to explain to her the waitress rolled her eyes as if this was our issue. The best bit was there was only one other table in the whole of the pub with four people on so it wasn’t like they were over run with customers. The manager did sort it out and take the meals off the bill however was not the experience we were looking for and will not be going back.

We went to the Bull today (19/11) for a Sunday roast. Have to say that it was the best roast dinner we have had for a long long time. Spoke to the new team Des the chef and Nicki manager. They have only been there four weeks but what a difference. Highly recommended.

Decided to eat here after a day out. Waiting staff very friendly - particularly Annie. It was a long time since I had been here last although my friends eat here often. It is the only eating place I have visited which couldn’t produce black...

We booked a meal for three at The Bull on a Friday evening. We were a little anxious the place might be full busy and noisy. We need not have worried! There were a number of diners outside but in the dining room there was...

Have been a couple of times and had some nice food. The value is good and the waiting staff fairly friendly. It’s nothing special, just a solid, nice pub lunch. Exactly what you’d expect from it.

One of the best Sunday roast lunches we have had in Towcester!!! Thanks to Annie who we found to be friendly, chatty and very efficient. The meal was hot and very tasty, the dessert, sticky toffee pudding was divine. We will be back.

My family meet up here once or twice a year as it's halfway between our homes. On most occasions we have had good food with good service although once we were seated in the annex and felt we were in the 'naughty corner'! Realistic pricing...

Met up with a friend here for a pub lunch. The food was reasonably priced (£10ish a main) and perfectly ok. Nothing particularly standout, but very nice for the price. Staff were very very friendly as well, which made for a pleasant lunch

We came to the Royal Oak as a large group for a pre wedding celebration. The food was outstanding, great quality, amazing attention to detail, fresh, hot, tasty and big portions. Everyone enjoyed their meals and left feeling full. We felt extremely welcome and nothing was too much bother for them. Thank you for having us, we can’t wait to come back for a Sunday roast!

We`d just finished a Croughton circular walk, and needed "refreshment" afterwards. One of the locals said hello as we walked in. Staff were friendly, and there was Tribute, Wainwrights and Directors on tap. I went for the Directors, which was very good. The menu was on the wall, and was varied, lots of it homemade, and great value for money. Sadly, we`re quite a drive away, otherwise it would be become my local. Note to self: have a meal BEFORE going on Croughton circular walk.

Luckily, we ordered our Sunday lunch a couple of days ago when the table was booked. It's a very popular pub for food so you need to plan ahead or you could be a little disappointed as they sell out very quickly. Food, as always, was very good staff very friendly, we will use again.

Been several times over the last 12 months. Probably one breakfast was a bit lacking otherwise really good and great value. Atmosphere is 3 stars. Sometime it’s full of great people, but sometimes you get a number of pretentious people who feel they need the room to hear their opinions.
