The old Bull Inn in North Hertfordshire

Central for what I needed... Room was clean with a very comfy bed...the food was lovely....and breakfast was delicious .... The staff were friendly and helpful

I had the fortunate experience of booking myself into The Old Bull Inn to attend a wedding in the local area. I stayed for two night and had a room in the main hotel. The setting is quaint and historical but with easy access (less than 100m) from the hotel door to a local Tesco Metro and a handful of High Street amenities that you would expect in any town. The room was pleasant, clean and comfortable. It was well appointed and was functional yet in-keeping with the aesthetic of the building. The bed was exceptionally comfortable - as were the pillows! My room had a fairly sizeable step up into the bathroom which may be a problem for some with mobility issues but this certainly isn’t the case for all rooms as my friends did not have this step. The breakfast was lovely and the staff were happy to accommodate a variety of choices although a cooked ‘full english’ seems standard. Where the Old Bull really stands out for me though is the customer service. Staff were exceptionally attentive and helpful and nothing seemed too much trouble - from extra towels, to borrowing an ironing board to holding a bag for me and arranging a taxi. From the youngest part time member of staff all the way through to what I presume was the owner or manager - we were greeted warmly and waited on exceptionally. I highly recommend a stay!

Booked for a couple nights stay ...very central to places we wanted to visit including Cambridge. However the Inn is " very tired" & needs complete refurb , the stairs to the rooms were dirty, and the room we were allocated was small & dark (probably should have been a single) & next to an air extractor for the next door restaurant ! and a security light for an adjacent property that was on all night ...Room 9..be warned ! Luckily there was another room available for our 2nd night when we complained & that was the complete opposite (Room 1) ... large,airy & bright 👌. Breakfast good, though a bit hit & miss ...1st day tea was just in a big jug , next day actual pot bought to table plus shall we say different cooking skills each day (fried eggs ).

Adequate small room. Good breakfast and great location though parking is difficult. You have to be lucky to get a space in the pub car park. We weren't.

First time visitor (for a funeral wake). Very helpful and hospitable staff. Lunch selection of sandwiches, sausage rolls, chips, pasta etc was first class. Exclusive use of the function room. Parked opposite at The Warren as it was market day and congested.

Not too busy. Food was good. Had to wait awhile though, not sure why. I would eat there again.

I visited today and had a really warm and friendly welcome - we decided on a number of starters to share - each was delicious and wine and beer was good. Will definitely return

Ordered a variety of meals as a family. They were all various degrees of disappointing. The BBQ was stuck to the bone. The king prawn pasta was not fully cooked. The meals seemed very pre-prepared. I remember enjoying some good meals here in the years I've been here before, but this has clearly changed.

Nice venue for a 60th Birthday party! DJ made a good evening and venue staff very friendly and helpful! Great food.

I came here with a large group the day after my wedding for lunch and the service we received was absolutely outstanding. We were supplied with plenty of drinking water without having to ask and provided with plates etc for a cake we brought along. At some point a staff member brought us a £5 note that one of us had dropped. Big massive thank you to all of you there!!!

Had a family meal there today, very nice staff, food was ok, I don't think it is as good as it use to be. It is a very friendly pub, I was just alitte disappointed with my lunch if I was honest.

Beautiful English pub in the centre of Royston market town,free parking on site,nice pub grub

Very comfortable. Good food. Excellent service. Attentive and helpful staff. Very convenient with easy parking.

Attended a family funeral in Royston, and Old Bull was competively priced compared to the chains who were much further away. The room was comfortable clean and had everything we needed, including tea, coffee, and biscuits. My wife is pretty noise sensitive, so with traditional sash windows and our room being over the outdoor seating area was the downside. The welcome at breakfast and excellent food & coffee was positive. Free car park and central location make it hard to beat for the price. Would stay again.

Lovely village pub in beautiful countryside. Loved it.

Lovely welcome, hospitality, food and beer.

We stayed for one night, with breakfast, and had a really enjoyable stay. The room was clean and comfortable, and the entire inn was full of character. Breakfast was super tasty. A great overnight stay.

Good food, good service and great company

I arranged a large group dinner for 32 people here, the second time we have met here. As previously, the food and service was excellent and everyone was happy.

Lovely old Inn in the centre of Royston. The staff were terrific. Helpful and very friendly. Serving Abbot ale was a massive plus, as was the sun blazing down in the lovely courtyard. I suspect being a major listed building changes are difficult to achieve but it’s a great historic place for a visit.

Very overpriced. The barman who obviously didn't gave a clue asked me if I wanted a pint glass for my double vodka and coke. How do these places survive?

We were stranded in Royston on our way from London to Norwich. While waiting for the RAC we not only enjoyed an excellent meal but were made welcome to stay as long as we needed to until the mechanic arrived. Thank you!

Nice friendly pub with a good selection of beer.

Excellent meal, friendly staff, reasonable prices. The biggest and best burger I have ever tasted

Evening meal. Huge portions and could t eat it all nice whitebait and old fashioned mushrooms on toast. Really good gluten free fish and chips and enormous burger

We didn't stay at the hotel. We had a meal in the restaurant. I was not very happy with the meal. The prices differed from the prices on their website. It was more expensive when we got there and the menus had differed. The steak was supposed bto be with chunky chips but we got skinny fries. The burger was very dry and the bacon was really bad. The experience was not great. The starter was ok. There are nicer places for the money

Good food, drink and service. Would be better if there was a specific area for people who wanted to bring their dog. Personally, don't like dogs around me when I'm eating.

Absolutly terrible breakfast. Ordered 1 x full english and 1 x veggi full english @ £12 each. Bacon burnt to a crisp unedible. Veggie breakfast came with no mushrooms or tomatos.( so £12 for 2 veggie sausages, 2 over cooked poached eggs, beans and toast) Asked a member of staff for the other half of the breakfast, that arrived after we had finished. Wont be going back, there are other places to eat near by with far better service. Very dissapointed.

Went here for lunch over the festive break and it was brilliant. Had their halloumi and caramelised onion ciabatta with chips and it was fantastic! Really tasty, plenty of filling, big portions and very reasonable (think total is £11 or £12). Chips portion was big so we actually shared 1 between 2. One had the pulled pork sandwich and again, they loved it. Highly recommend for a nice and easy lunch.

We stayed here the night before a family wedding. The room was basic but fairly comfortable and was in an apartment type building a short walk away from the pub rather than in the pub itself. The lady checking us in was very helpful and took us to the room and showed us where everything was. We ate in the pub in the evening and my meal was awful. My plate was swimming with grease and the side order of seasonal veg was was greasy and burnt. The staff were however helpful and I couldn’t fault the service.

Stayed overnight at the Old Bull Inn excellent Lunch Haddock And Chips lovely 16th century pub with great atmosphere.

It says onsite parking but it’s for anyone using the pub, which means you have to park away from the pub and carry your suitcases. Also there is a function room attached which holds private events and while we were there 2 were held and we were unable to get to sleep until 1.30am due to shouting and swearing and with young children is unacceptable.

I’m sorry but I got told this pub is one of the best in Royston, when I arrived I could see a small blonde lady who I assume works there sleeping in the sofa, looks like she had too many, the service wasn’t the greatest and the drinks taste run down, but Olly was great

Our first visit for food and was more than happy with the menu options. Fantastic choice for Vegetarian from starters, sides, to deserts. Portion sizes were very generous, quality of food was exceptional. Portion size could have been half and I would still be happy with value for money! Cannot wait to go back and try other food choices. 👍👍

We visited the old bull inn for a wedding reception and I was so shocked by how disorganised the venue was. When we arrived it was a super hot day and we had a disabled grandparent with us and found out when we arrived their was NO DISABLED ACCESS to the Venue room so had to carry our 93 year old grandfather up the front stairs and then again up another flight of stairs to the room we was eating in as the older women with blonde hair refused to let us use the back slop into the building. Once we was inside the lady continued to be really rude to everyone including the bride and groom which was very awkward. Once we was all seated the food began to come out, some of it came straight to the table and they knew who it was for and some of it was a pick a mix of who it was going to. A few people didn’t get their starters and nothing was done to rectify this was just taken as ‘oh well you don’t have a starter’. This theme continued through dinner some people didn’t get the meal they asked for or a meal at all and desert was the same and in the end no one knew what was what and gave up so some people didn’t eat. Once we had dinner we was all asked to leave the room so they could clear the tables so again having to move our 93yr old grandparent down the stairs again into the bar. Once we was at the bar I Noticed some children playing with their goody bags they had been given at their table and the older women who was being rude at the beginning of the day was back and having a pop at the children for playing with their stuff in the corridor between the 2 rooms, I was shocked as they were only playing like children do and she was so aggressive and rude to them That they looked like they were upset and run back to their parents. From what I saw this was happening all the time until she eventually went home. The evening was good once everyone was dancing but the venue itself was very disorganised and I’m unsure as to why people work in venues like this when they obviously do not like people and children and seemed like the older blonde lady with glasses really dampened the day for everyone she come into contact with.

Very comfortable stay, attentive helpful staff with a great breakfast, parking also available. Great value clean room.

Impromptu Sunday meal with my Mum, Step-Dad, my fiancé, my son & daughter. Booked a table for six using the website. It was quite quiet when we walked in the restaurant. We had a lovely table near the window in the main restaurant side. We chose not to have any starters, we ordered our drinks, quickly followed by the mains. The fours adults chose to have the Carvery, my daughter chose the BBQ Chicken Burger & my son chose to Mac n Cheese off the children’s menu. The adults were able to go up & choose our selected meats & sides. I choose Beef & Gammon, with a side of Roast Potatoes, Yorkshire Puddings, Stuffing, Red Cabbage, Cauliflower Cheese, Carrots & Peas with Gravy. The kids had to wait a following 10minutes until their Mains arrived. The Carvery was delicious, the meat was tender, the veg was al-dente & the Gravy had lots of flavour. Overall we throughly enjoyed the Carvery. I managed to squish a pudding in to. I went for the Cherry Bakewell Tart with Ice Cream. Safe to say that I cleaned my plate. We really enjoyed our meal. 4 x Carvery, 1 x adult meal, 1 x kids meal, 2 x puddings, plus drinks came to £138.00.

So I'll start with the good stuff. The bed was comfortable. The evening menu was great. Couldn't fault the food in the evening. The staff seemed friendly and helpful. However now I'll mention the bad stuff. The rooms need a total refurb. They are a state especially the bathrooms. The shower goes from cold to boiling. Nothing in the middle. And the morning breakfast was appalling. You had no choice, it was full English or full English. The toast was stone cold and rock hard and the bacon was so fatty that it wasn't worth having. We won't be returning which was a shame as potentially it has a lot to offer

Easy to book over the phone but no booking form online. Menu has a variety of choices but these haven't really changed in ages so gets a bit boring if you go more than a couple of times. The chicken and mushroom pie was very watery, needed a much thicker sauce. There was only a top of puff balanced on a dish this is not a pie! Choice of real ale is limited and what they do have is very over priced. Time to up your game The Bull

Stayed here for a friends wedding. Staff were so accommodating, couldn't do enough for you. Had a quick bite to eat in the bar and it was delicious. Very good value for money, the portions were very large. Advised us how to get a local taxi and to book in advance. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Food was very nice, but very disappointed with the service. Bar staff stood around chatting whilst customers looking around trying to get there attention… Food got served up and that was the last they spoke to most people we see eating….

My family got together to eat here as we were attending our nephews wedding the next day. There were 10 of us and we had been asked to pre-order our food, not a problem. It has a varied menu, with lots of choice. Elka, our waitress was brilliant, we didn’t have to wait long for anything. She was polite, friendly and very professional. She later told us that they had 4 staff off, we wouldn’t have known as she kept a smile on her face all night! Good food, great atmosphere, friendly staff. Our mother lives in Royston so this will now be our go to place whenever any of us visit!

The pub itself is quaint …..we were unfortunate to stay in one of the rooms! All I can say is if you are happy to stay somewhere dirty that needs a total refurb then this is the place for you . we were looking forward to a lovely weekend away the room wasn’t cheap cost £130! When we mentioned issues in the morning the gentleman did not seem bothered at all . Will not be returning

The ginger bar lady needs to be sacked. She was causing problems with every one. She shouldn’t be working in the hospitality industry. I will not ever be going back there again. Ginger girl if your reading this you are a complete rude idiot

We spent Saturday night at this Inn. We got back from a wedding at about 9.30 pm to find a live band playing just 150 feet from our bedroom window. This went on until midnight and was so loud that we couldn’t hear the tv...

We stayed in one of the serviced apartments which resembled student accommodation. It was not worth the price paid for the room. However, it was clean and the bed was very comfortable.

We went for lunch and what we were given was of poor quality Presentation ok value for money poor show Baked Camembert I can do better buying one in Tesco and putting it in the microwave It was without the outer skin and curdled and...

Room very small and too hot, had to have the window open and very noisy. Overall room could do with being updated. Loose fittings and outdated decor. Breakfast service was good but cooked breakfast could be better.

The pubs in Royston are typical why oh why do they shut at 3 pm and sell no snacks or anything it spoils the whole trip and the very reason Royston is such a loser as a town

Visited for evening meal on Mother’s Day. Mushroom pasta lovely and creamy. Good size portions for all. Drinks served by a lovely waiter called Archie.

We ate here on a Sunday. Group of nine with one fussy old age pensioner! And they catered for him, Camembert onion rings garlic bread and chips! Cannot fault the staff who were pleasant and efficient, serving us table service our drinks as well as...

I have just left the old bull after staying for 5 nights on business. From the moment I arrived all of the staff were super friendly and did everything they could to make my stay everything it should be. The rooms themselves are old and...

We held our Wedding reception here and it's absolutely faultless. The staff were superb. Highly recommended.

Visited the pub tonight for dinner after looking at the menu on their website. Arrived, asked for a table for 2, was told we could sit anywhere. Given a menu, I asked about the pizza menu, was told there was no pizzas left. Also was...

Went to The Old Bull for lunch for the first time since pre-Covid times. What an absolute waste of money! Even though I'd booked in advance, they couldn't seem to find my name on the booking list and the young lady just flung the clipboard...

Horrific service took 40min for scampi and got three different wrong bills at the end. The waitresses were very rude. The service was so slow. Kept telling us to use the app but no info on app. No apology. Staff don’t care.

Needed to use the app service to order a meal. That's OK however other tables were being served by staff!! Customized our order and 1 meal came to the table wrong. Meal returned to the kitchen where they just removed the food that was requested...

Booked a table which is advised as can get very busy during peak times. Cosy setting, friendly greeting on arrival and throughout our lunch. Excellent choice on the menu for both adults and children. Cooked to your choosing and extras added and elements left off...

Ich musste 1 mal geschäftlich im old Bull übernachten, die Zimmer sind für den Preis zu klein, und zum Teil...

Visited the Old Bull Inn for a family wedding. The hotel is perfect with a good bar professional staff and good food. The location is excellent and price good. The reception was lovely, atmospheric with attentive staff. A roast dinner was perfect for a winter wedding and it was really good and served hot. I thought the staff were really nice and noticed they kept checking to see if everything was ok. Altogether lovely wedding and a nice place for a family get together. Thank you.

Nipped in to the pub for quick pint been in before dog friendly went to open bar of chocolate told couldn't I said really she said yes we sell snacks will I go in again no it's a piece of chocolate hard sake

Went to The Old Bull with past work colleagues, which we have been doing for some time, The salads are excellent with a variety of fish and meat, this time I had strips of sirloin cooked with caramalised onions and mushrooms served on forcacia bread spread with garlic mayo. and a green salad,Delicious, would have it again when its on the specials board, two of my colleagues had the curry and said that also was delicious.

Stayed for 2 nights. Had to book very last minute and the check in staff were very accommodating. Pros- nice rooms with comfortable beds. We stayed in a large twin and a small double ( we were advised it was a small room on booking so did not mind) Nice breakfast- freshly cooked breakfast as well as cereals, yogurt etc. Location- very convenient in town centre.Staff- staff were all very friendly and helpful. Cons- very small teles in rooms and shower was very small in the small double room.

Ottimo pernotto, alloggio enorme con salottino e cucina e doppia camera con servizi indipendenti.Personale gentile e disponibile nel fornire tutta l'assistenza possibile.Colazione a buffet scarsa, su richiesta preparano piatti tipici della english breakfast.

Went for lunch at The Old Bull Inn. A nice location with the option to dine in the restaurant, bar or outside. We chose the restaurant. We found ourselves a table and some menus to start with. We gave our drinks orders and having perused the menus we gave our lunch orders - two lamb shank, one baked plaice and a Thai curry. The menu had a reasonable selection. After a time lapse, presumably for cooking the meals freshly, our meals arrived. There was one hiccup as instead of a Thai curry a mushroom and onion type of tart arrived. The waiting staff were made aware of the error but when nothing appeared by return it was decided to have that rather than have a long wait by which time everyone else would have finished. The lamb dishes were well presented with creamed mash and green vegetables. The meat fell off the bone and was very good. The mushroom and onion tart was served on a bed of small halved potatoes and was also very well presented and tasty (even though not ordered). The baked plaice was dry and disappointing. Desserts of lemon tart with fruit and cream were fairly average. The crepe brûlée was excellent. We felt the dining room lacked any atmosphere and the service was awful. We had to look for staff to get any service on most occasions. Not what you want when you go out for a leisurely lunch with relatives. However on the whole the food was good.

Eight old friends met for our annual get-together for lunch and how disappointing it was. The seafood tagliatelle was lukewarm with crusty overcooked prawns. The meatballs were cold, served with just about warm pasta and the fish was tasteless. When we told the waitress she said she’d tell the kitchen and offered us fresh pasta - what about the seafood?!! No response from the kitchen. Desserts were OK(ish) but custard was, yet again, luke warm. We should have sent the food back but with eight people and having waited over 30 minutes for our food, we would have been there until the evening. If you want a good meal avoid The Old Bull or you’ll be wasting your money.

We recently held a party for 38 people in the Ballroom at the Bull to celebrate my Dad's birthday. It was organised at quite short notice and the staff could not have been more helpful or accommodating. The food was delicious and they even managed to cope with gluten free and vegan diets - not easy with sandwiches and cake! Compliments to the chefs! Special mention also goes to Nikki who made all the arrangements and to Emma who looked after us on the day, but all the staff were fantastic. Everyone hugely enjoyed the party and I'll never forget the look on my Dad's face when he walked through the door!

Visited last weekend and had a wonderful dinner.

We were lucky to find this location for a family party of 30 to celebrate an 85th birthday. The staff were very helpful during the several weeks of organization and made the event a success. The food was excellent, and they were flexible enough on the day to respond to a number of menu request changes. The included breakfast was excellent.

My 2 nd visit on a two day course locally visited the old bull Monday night and tonight Tuesday the 5 th of March nice pub pleasant surroundings nice polite helpful staff I’ve had two nice meals reasonably priced for meals and drinks if up her again I would revisit

Myself and my partner stayed in this lovely B&B; for a couple of nights we had travelled from Sheffield to go to my cousins wedding.

We visited for a meal with friends.

We called on our way back for Sunday lunch. The reception was very helpful and held a table open for us. We arrived 20 mins later with the service team awaiting.

Have regularly visited here over the years for a drink or a meal or a work event. Food is great and good portion sizes. Staff are friendly. Beer price is probably the most expensive in Royston, more than Banyers. I wish they would put the fire on, especially in winter. The place is good but has the potential to be something special.

Went to the Old Bull for a works Christmas do, there were 12 of us in the restaurant ... there were 3 or 4 other groups there at the same time .... food was well cooked and well delivered ... a good time was had by all as we were made to feel very welcome by the bar and restaurant teams ... well done!

Friendly greeting on arrival but service was slow as not enough people serving behind the bar.

My friend and i visited a week ago. I had the lamb shank which was amazing and left me wanting more! Visited this evening with more friends and ordered the same again. Lamb was amazing again but next to no gravy this time which left me rather disappointed.

Awful. Second visit first visit in 2017 was excellent today was not nice , food cold, potatoes rock hard at the bottom. stuffing was thick and mushy only one thin slice of turkey and beef was still alive had to wait 20 minutes as ham wasn't ready we didn't even have any so won't be visiting again very disappointed. Cost over £60 with a drink.

Four of us went for Sunday lunch last weekend and I cannot express enough how disappointed we all were.

Stayed for one night at The Bull Inn, Royston as attending a wedding nearby. We had an apartment very close to the Inn as all rooms were booked. Cosy with kitchen area, bathroom and very comfortable bed. Full English breakfast included in the price was scrummy. Fantastic old building

This is a very old , very well maintained building , the restaurant is warm and welcoming with a wide choice if food at good quality , worth a visit as a couple or in a group

We found this place on our way up to Norfolk with friends and popped in on the off chance they could fit us in. Lovely setting and our food was excellent. We would definitely go again.

This is a great place to go for lunch especially after a long walk. The staff were excellent and welcomed us and provided excellent service throughout our meal. The food was reasonably priced and extremely good - the carvery was very well received and the other items on the menu were just as good. We were a large-ish group which did not faze the Inn at all and we all look forward to many return visits.

Having walked with dogs in the rain for 12 miles to get here I was impressed with this place. There are lots of rooms to eat in as it’s huge and the staff couldn’t do enough to help. Service was friendly and professional and the food( I opted for the Sunday roast) was superb. The beef was a bit overdone but otherwise I have no complaints. I wondered if the wet dogs might and put other people off but living in the country, dogs being welcome is good. Reckon we might have been better in a room without others as wet gear and wet dogs is an acquired taste! Nevertheless, I’d definitely go back here again for lunch.

My husband and I meet up with family for a Sunday lunch, we had a reserved booking, when we got to our table I had a job to get to my seat as there were dogs in the way plus backpacks Ect, there was a group there with about 5 dogs , we had a dog practically under our table, smell of wet dogs which I know cannot be helped due to weather, but not nice when you are eating your dinner, then we looked to see two dogs sitting on the beaches where other people have to sit, and eat , think this should not be allowed as if you came well dressed and sit where dogs have been and get covered in hairs , but know member of staff ask for the dogs to be removed form the seat , this is not good enough !!!

What a little jewel a beautiful old inn built in the 1500s heaped with history and Proud people who run it are happy to tell you all about the history of it beautiful quaint rooms very clean looking out over a courtyard amazing breakfast and unbelievably they had gluten free bread and it has to be said the most comfortable bed I've ever stayed in in a hotel I can't wait to visit my friends again just so I can stay there

Menu was quite good. We had a shared bread starter. My husband ordered sea bass and I Ordered Sefood Linguine which according to the menu has various types of fish in it. Starter arrived fairly quickly. Had to wait nearly an hour for the main course and this was after asking twice what was the delay. Eventually it arrived. Sea bass wasn’t too bad. However the linguine was terrible. The only fish in it were prawns. A few small prawns in the linguine and 3 deep fried prawns on top. The only food I could taste was tomato sauce. No taste or smell of the fish at all. And it’s not cheap at all. Would advise anyone to avoid this restaurant. I know I won’t be returning.

We stayed here for 1 night whilst visiting Newmarket races. We used the coach service from Royston station which took us directly to Newmarket. Absolutely loved our stay in this friendly and welcoming inn. The rooms are a little small and old fashioned but it’s in keeping with the building and the style. The bed was very comfortable, the room was clean, the shower was hot, what more could you want?! We had dinner in the bar and it was huge and delicious! Breakfast was also very tasty if a little on the small side. Would definitely return and would definitely recommend.

A 14th century coaching inn may be interesting but it is not comfortable. Our room seemed as if it had been carved out of a corridor.

First visit to this old coaching inn ( usually use another pub ) but won't be the last.

Friendly greeting on arrival and throughout our lunch time here.

Had dinner with family at Old Bull Inn. Nice athmosphere ,menu was ok,the food was realy good,nice beer and wine selektion.The slog cooked lamb was excellent.

As the title states my family and I had arranged a buffet lunch for my Grandma's 90th Birthday. The food was poorly presented and the cutlery and plates were filthy. The food itself was ok but we definitely got the feeling we were just being left to it. No glasses or plates were cleared and noone even checked in with us to see if everything was ok. To top it off after a spending a small fortune on drinks also we were told we had to move away from our table at 18.30 incase people wanted to eat dinner. We did move table and we ended up staying until close to 11pm. During the evening some of us ordered a meal which took ages to come. Everyone's came at different times and one person's order only came after repeated reminders. When it did come the cutlery was again filthy as was alot of the glasses throughout the day. In fairness the food was very good but the service was just poor.

We met my sister and family here for a wedding. Reception was pleasant and very smart with fresh flowers. They have a nice courtyard to sit and chill with a glass of wine.

I’ve been here a number of times, but recently had my mums wake here. The buffet was a good selection, the staff are lovely and everyone said how nice of a place it is.

Bar and staff were well organized and pleasant. Area was set out to give my party plenty of space. Service was excellent.

I cannot trust an establishment that serves fish as vegitarian. Food ok but not to be trusted nothing vegan

Our Sunday Roast overall was okay. There was a good choice of vegetables, but the yorkshire was very small and unfortunately our beef was quite tough. The waitress kindly brought us more but even this was also on the tough side. My son's salmon was lovely and my mother enjoyed her chicken pie. Unfortunately the pie was just a puff pastry crust over a "chicken casserole". Think this should always be stated as a pastry topping on a menu because if not am always disappointed. The surroundings cannot be faulted and the staff are very friendly and efficient. Feel that with a few small changes this could be a truly wonderful place to eat in the town.

Spur of the moment visit to the bull inn for a midday meal and very impressed.

We had been here a couple of years ago and we didn't think very much of it at all.
