The Bull in South Gloucestershire - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Another Birthday 🎂 Celebration Sunday lunch. It's 6 years since my last review. Over the past years, things have only gotten better. (Apart from the carparking) Have been to the Bull several times and the pub and garden are lovely. We went there last Sunday lunch time for my birthday 😋 Despite being a large number of us and two babies who needed highchairs, we were well accommodated and had an excellent Sunday roast. I had the vegetarian option of nut roast which was delicious.Apparently the lamb and chicken dinners were also fantastic. There was only a little wait for food. Freshly made, locally sourced. (As much as poss ) Perfectly cooked food. 😋 I enjoyed it so much that I'm continuing to return. Thanks again to my lush fambley 😍 and Bull Inn for fab 55th and now 61st 🎉😘 Definitely book as it gets very busy. Our server was great. The general menu has a good selection and importantly - Dog friendly 🐾

We stopped here whilst driving back from London, a couple of minutes off the motorway. They did have space but the place filled up around us so I would advise booking. Food, service and atmosphere were all excellent 👌 I could fault a thing, a stunning old pub set in a rural backdrop, well kept and maintained with super friendly staff

Fab pub with a lovely pub garden, with tables under a shelter. Very cosy and the best food ever! Had gluten free and veg (could be vegan if requested) sweet potato burger. All the food was delicious. We will be back again !

We found this very interesting Pub close to motorway and whilst others are closer to the motorway this was a good find for the food and the service. Staff were attentive from the moment we walked in. The quality of food was great and our only downside was the fact that lunch menu was limited. However, although this was limited I appreciated the choice. I can recommend both the bean burger and beef burger. Bathroom hand wash is excellent as I love Bramley products. The staff really are commendable for their bright smile Enjoyed people watching here as clientele was very quirky on day of our visit!

Lovely meal tonight for my Auntie’s birthday. We preordered as we were a large group so the food arrived quickly. What really made the night was the fabulous choices for gluten free, a rare find for a pub! My daughter said it was the best pub meal she’d ever had! Hope to be back soon.

Excellent Food, great gardens to sit in on a summers evening. Dog friendly. Location 10 mins off the M4. Friendly & helpful staff.

Definitely 5 stars. Food was amazing, not many varieties but quality is everything above. Nice garden, specially recommend for families there is a play area, tent for rainy day, parking is easy, booking in advance it can be busy for a reason 😉 I've been there once couple years agoand definitely we are gonna go back 🙂

Very nice country pub, always seems a good vibe, some lovely tables and a covered area in the garden too when it's sunny. Have been a few times, never disappointed..

Thank you for a fantastic evening meal on the run. We popped in for dinner after a very long day. Speedy service, lovely staff and great setting. Couldn’t have asked for more

We dropped in at the wonderful country pub & we were lucky as we just arrived before the smaller menu started. We ordered from the full menu quickly so we could try their full vegan menu for our friends. Great service and quality food, we will definitely be back & highly recommend.

Highly Highly recommend this pub! Staff are lovely, food delicious. A really great place to visit, would definitely go back, thank you!

What a place this is! Almost don't want to review it because it will get even busier. Service was absolutely faultless, every single staff member went out of their way to make what was 'just a lunch stop off' a memorable experience. The food was absolutely stunning and great value for money. The cocktails were also mixed perfectly with their own 'twist' and the place itself and the atmosphere was very, very, special. Don't normally write 'gushing' reviews but this place and all the staff are absolutely worth every word of praise.

Nice inn, great garden and terrace, food was fine

We stopped here for lunch and I cannot rate this place highly enough. The food was delicious and it was brought to us quickly. We sat outside so our children could play in the play area and it was brilliant. They had a wonderful time climbing on the tractor tires. The staff where so incredibly friendly as well. I was served by a young lady with a blue bow in her hair. She was really polite and made me smile. The whole experience was the best.

Great pub with a lovely garden. Good choice of beers and cider. They even have an outdoor canopy to sit under if the weather is a bit cloudy.

An excellent pub to spend time for any occassion. My sister and I would certainly recommend after our delicious meal here.

Brilliant food quality. Great service! Definitely recommend!

Ok even though it's a little expensive compared to similar venues

Stopped here on cycle trip. Great garden and service.

Great food, friendly staff and lovely country pub. The parking spaces at the front can be a bit tricky though

We had dinner there last night 9/07/24 . It’s a lovely old pub and the food was delicious.I had Cornish cod with mussels, it’s the best meal I’ve had for a very long time gorgeous!! And we eat out a lot .We will be back 👍

Good friendly service. Quality food. A good experience, well pleased

Classical dishes come out beautifully presented, delicate taste, and they've got the best sweet potato chips I've ever had. Appreciate the beer garden with some plays for kids. The tent there wasn't serving maybe it's not busy enough yet.

A lovely evening of food and drink. Great service.

Great food and good service with pleasant and helpful staff. Shame some extremely noisy customers made it difficult for others to have a conversation.

It doesn't happen very often that I write a review of a place I have eaten in. I'm a professional Chef and I admit, it is hard to please me. I had the cauliflower steak with lentils and romanesco sauce. My men had fish and chips. When the food arrived, I could instantly tell it was going to be a great experience because of the smell of the food . Good food smells GOOD, as simple as that. I was surprised with the delicate touches of flavours of my dish, the flavours were perfectly combined, the food was FRESHLY made, and , as I always say, it was alive! Good food sings in my mouth, it doesn't just go in dead. I feel good food nourishes all my senses, the rest, for me, is an experience I'm not particularly interested in. Would love to go back and taste more dishes. Keep up the great work in the kitchen, you have talent. Well done!

Amazing service and delicious food ! A must try !!

Amazing food and view from outside garden.

Amazing place tucked away from everything. You wouldn't expect much but it was one of the best burgers and fries i've ever had. Sad how bad places are at making fries but this place knows how to do it.

Limited lunch menu - just evening menu with 2x sourdoughs. Sourdoughs very tough to cut. Service first class. Atmos. very pleasant

Brilliant service, extremely accommodating and willing to make compromises for their patrons. Definitely a must try with a beautiful terrace and outdoor seating for the family.

Great food, fantastic service from Anastasia. Thoroughly recommend.

Great experience bringing the family over the bank holiday. Great Sunday roast, drinks, staff, and a bonus small outdoor playground for the kids!

Beautiful, evening on pub terrace, scotch egg was divine

Had a couple of lovely burgers in a nice setting and reasonable price. Highly recommend

The food is always delicious and they’re so accommodating of children and dogs: the spectacular outside space is only bettered by the lovely team there. We always stop off when travelling from London to Wales.

Nice place for a big family get together

Great roast, solid pub garden and excellent service. Desserts are also very very good

I took my boss and a couple of clients here for lunch. Service was not overly impressive, but I think they were a bit short staffed. I asked for a table by the door and they gave me on up a step which we had to chase someone down to be directed to it. Once in, and after a bit of a delay waiting to be served the soup was nice, the roasted pepper sandwich was lovely. The mushrooms I helped my boss to finish off were very tasty, I might have that next time.

Lovely food, friendly, would highly recommend 👌

Food was very good, I attended a workshop for terrarium Gardens

Fantastic country pub serving exquisite food and a wide range of drinks. We enjoyed a family meal on a saturday lunchtime. Kids enjoyed the kids menu offerings and the playground while while they waited. Adults loved the daily specials on offer - the harissa lamb flatbread and champagne and strawberry baked alaska were a particular highlight. Can't wait to make a return visit

Lovely pub, good menu and friendly staff. The only downside was that a 10% service charge is added to the bill, yes you can ask for this to be removed but a tip should be left to a customers discretion, hence the two star review.

We had not been here for some time, but we came attracted by the interesting menu and number of gluten free options. We were not disappointed - all of us were pleased with our meals. Prices are not cheap but reasonable in view of the cuisine. We don't like service charges added automatically, but it won't stop us going back for more.

The food was amazing the staff were so lovely I especially loved the chicken ravioli and the signature bull burger the best meal of 2024 everything was amazing

The food was amazing and the service was excellent and the staff are friendly

Amazing pub,atmosphere, service, delicious food, highly recommended 👌

Really nice pub with fantastic food. It's traditional pub grub type stuff but to a high standard. I had the cheese burger with fries followed by the crumble. Delicious.

Excellent service, food and atmosphere. However, was not pleased to pay a compulsory service charge of £16. Would much prefer to tip according to my own discretion. Not inclined to return under these terms.

Had a fantastic meal, they have a burger night on wednesday. The pork burger was fantastic!

Excellent lunch last Friday - shepherd's pie, open sourdough brisket, heritage tomatoes on toast. Couldn't fault it. Great service too.

Good service and food. Nice to sit in the bar area. Update February 2022: Sunday lunch in the restaurant area. Well spaced out tables but still atmosphere. Same excellent food and service.

Food was excellent quality, portions however on the small side. Service was quick and friendly. Atmosphere was of a cosy traditional pub, lovely. Not 5 stars due to the small portions and the automatic service charge on the bill ; I like to decide when and how much I tip.

Really good food and service! The banana pudding in particular is great.

Amazing service, building and the food was beyond delicious 😋

Nice country pub. It was busy. We booked for dinner. Great choice and food was excellent. Staff were very friendly and made you feel welcome. Will be going again.

Food was really good but could have had more vegetables and potatoes as the portions weren't that big for the price, which was a little more than other places we've been.

Booked a large booking (13 people) for a birthday. Had a great evening in a nice separate area, would recommend!

We had the most amazing afternoon tea for our friends baby shower. Staff were all absolutely wonderful. Helpful, friendly, accommodating... just loved it. Couldn't recommend enough. Brilliant beautiful place with staff to match

We squeezed ourselves into a perfect table for two by the fire. Honestly hadn't expected to find space there Fridays lunchtime. Really delicious food, very quick service. Good specials and a two course deal. 👍🏻😍

Definitely exceeded my expectations. Can’t wait to go there again.

Had a reception here in a designated room following a bereavement service. Staff courteous, attentive, provided buffet food and bar. Excellent value and ambience. Highly recommend.

Had a really lovely Sunday lunch at the Bull- great food and service. Will definitely be back! Many thanks.

Nine Dyrham Park Guides visited the Bull at Hinton in February 2024. The service and atmosphere was splendid, and the food excellent. Exactly what we wanted. We would recommend it to our park visitors.

What a fantastic meal we had last night 5star from us. Excellent choice brilliant service and atmosphere

Fabulous food, great service and lovely environment - highly recommended!

Food was good , service lovely, but we again got seated by the toilets, this side lacks atmosphere .. I’d say definitely worth a visit, just ask to sit the pretty side and it’s perfect … Next time I’ll definitely ask to be moved 👍

Excellent Sunday lunch. The service was very friendly and professional but still created a lovely informal feel. We'll be back!!

Popped in 26th Jan 2024. As usual, a warm welcome and great service, which is why it's been a firm favourite of ours for years. The food was fantastic, the pigs cheeks in Korean barbeque sauce will be ordered every time they've got them in.

overall 4 stars for this gorgeous establishment because at 10pm on a Friday we fancied a coffee to finish off our meal ... alas, it had been cleaned down ... a little early? So we paid our bill instead. Despite that, would love to go back and perhaps ask for a coffee earlier

Really good carvery, generous and very tasty

Sunday lunch with friends. Great food (roast), service, and atmosphere. We'll certainly return.

Amazing food on a very wet and windy day…. Came here after a long walk on a Sunday afternoon. Loved this place back on the 90s and still do 🙂

Had a lovely evening, spot on all round, will be back very soon 😀

Outstanding country pub. Service and food were exceptional. Highly recommended.

We had a lovely lunch and afternoon at The Bill at Hinton celebrating my 60th birthday with family. Food was great, lovely guy served our table and nothing was too much trouble. Very reasonably priced - look forward to visiting again!

Food was good, scotch egg starter was excellent. Staff were brilliant and service was very good considering the place was full. Parking was a bit of a challenge, even overflow carpark was full. But will definitely go back

I visit here fairly regularly. The food and service is always excellent.

Met a friend for lunch on a Tuesday and the place was buzzing! Barman very friendly and welcoming, let me try the beer before buying and was not phased when he came to take our order at least twice before we were ready. Plenty of choice on the menu, I had the pulled aubergine (who knew?) and it was tasty. Definitely will visit again soon.

Interesting menu. Lovely food. Good service. Decent value at £35 per head without alcohol for 2.5 courses. And a lovely warming open fire too. Would highly recommend.

Nice and warm by the fire and great service

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal. I had the fish and chips and it was delicious - a big piece of freshly battered haddock and chunky chips. Both were cooked to perfection and not at all greasy. My dad had the steak, mushroom and ale pie and despite someone at another table saying it was tiny, he was not disappointed. It was a proper pie and was just the right size. It came with a choice of chunky chips, fries or mash and he opted for the fries. There was plenty of them too. Atmosphere was good, log burners all lit giving it a cosy feel. Overall I would highly recommend The Bull!

Delicious food, lovely atmosphere and great service. Great choice of gluten free meals. Would highly recommend.

Lovely family Sunday lunch for 10. Food excellent and I was delighted to see so many gluten free options. To be able yo to have gf cauliflower cheese was a real treat! Thank you!!

Beautiful old English pub with exceptional food and service. We chanced upon it but very glad we did and we shall be returning.

We love coming here food is always brilliant , very welcoming and great atmosphere . Whole team work really hard to make it the pub it is

Food excellent value for money, staff were attentive but not overbearing and just thoroughly enjoyed a warm relaxing late afternoon Sunday roast.

5 star food and excellent service! Compliments to the chef and pub manager.

Great selection of gluten free food. Excellent meals Staff friendly, helpful and brilliant Overall, excellent service, food and atmosphere.

We recently celebrated my Mums 60th Birthday at The Bull. The staff are always friendly and super helpful. The food was amazing as always. Would definitely recommend.

Good food good service.All very nice.

Brilliant Sunday roast booked at short notice. Wonderful food and service and we have already booked to return with family soon. Thanks for a great dining experience!

We were lucky to get a booking for the time we wanted for Sunday lunch at The Bull. There was a buzz about the place. The food was excellent, we both went for Lamb which was very tender, adequate portions, veg my wife thought the carrots were under cooked although I like them crispy. There was water on the table which is a nice touch. The waitress Charlotte was attentive and saw to our needs, thank you. We did wonder how long in advance you have to book for a party of say 8 as it does always seem booked up when ever we try to go there. Well worth a visit.

A fantastic menu. Met two girlfriends for lunch there today. We all wanted something different ranging from snacky starters to more substantial main course. Beautifully serve food and professional efficient service. Will definitely come back.

Absolutely loved it at The Bull for a birthday meal. We ordered mains and deserts from the Christmas menu and it did not disappoint. Great sized portions and perfectly prepared food. Often when I go out there is not much on the menu for my dietary needs but the staff are so accommodating and have plenty to choose from to cater for Gluten Free, Vegan and vegetarian needs. The prices are also reasonable and we have already booked to visit again for another family birthday meal.

Great meal on a busy Saturday night, food was excellent and staff were attentive, took a while to get our bill but it was a busy night.

Lovely meal, service was excellent.

Super place- met with a smile, really great staff and service. Would recommend to visit and see the varied menu.

The food here is outstanding! Great surroundings and lovely staff. I'll be back soon

Great food in a lovely location. Service was very good, seated at our table with drinks within minutes of walking in. Have never had a bad experience here. Would highly recommend.
