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 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Friendly staff and good choice on menu plus a specials board although the quality of the dishes can be very dissapointing at times. Bar and seperate dinning area, well behaved dogs are allowed in the bar area. Tables and chairs are provided outside for sunny days.Various musical events take place fairly frequently, ticketed entry for some others are free to enjoy. This is also a hotel and well used for wedding parties.

Reasonable room in lovely old coaching inn in central Royston. Room clean and well fitted out. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast the first morning disappointing but freshly cooked and nice and hot the second morning. Shame the coffee is not a better standard but there is good coffee available when the bar is open. Side plates would be nice.

We chose to stay here whilst attending a wedding nearby. Staff were helpful on the phone and on arrival. Room was bijou but had all we needed. Bed comfy and pillows divine. Breakfast was ok but good choice of cereal tea coffee etc.

Not a lot to say really as we like to have a drink at The Old Bull, however the food was terrible. I had seafood linguini which was supposed to have king prawns, crayfish tails, salmon and crab meat in a rich vine tomato sauce topped with fresh rocket; well 3 prawns and that was it, the worst meal ever, even the sauce was insipid and pasta that stuck together. The King Prawn Thai green curry was no better, wow 4 prawns and watery sauce, nothing else appeared to be in the 'meal'. Beer-battered Fresh Haddock Fillet and served with minted mushy peas, chunky chips and tartare sauce, batter was burnt and fish very dry. The only meal what wasn't terrible was the Old Bull Pie of the Day With chunky chips and vegetables. If this is what's served up, then we won't be eating at The Old Bull any time soon. I could write more however what's the point they don't care.

Enjoyed my stay here at this very popular hotel, sometimes difficult to get rooms. The rooms are a little quirky but clean fresh and very comfortable. High quality food in the evening and a great selection of beers. Breakfast a delight. Enjoy.

There is a review praising the Old Bull Inn for handling a party of 30.....well we were the unfortunates who suffered!

I visited the Old Bull inn to celebrate my 60th Birthday, I had 30 close friends and family join me for a three course sit down meal in the oak room, the food was excellent service very professional little Ben was in charge of the function and all went smoothly, and the barmaid was very attentive and helpful, I certainly recommend this facility for a party or meal

Went with 20 friends to celebrate a 70th birthday. Despite preordered food we waited far too long. Food was fine. Cake arrived and was plonked on the table, not enough glasses at first for our bubbles. Order and reasons for our. Is it were sent some time ago. I thought very little trouble was taken to make this a special occasion for my friend. Disappointed

We booked Saturday evening for a Sunday roast. Our table was in the bar away from the carvery, there were elderly people in our party, the staff rearranged a table to enable us to be close to the carvery. The food was good, meat tender and a variety of vegetables with tasty gravy. The staff put themselves out to accommodate our needs. Thank you.
