The Bull Shed

The Bull Shed website is well worth reading before you go. You’ll have to do it and book it up to a month before your visit as limited availability makes this popular restaurant something you’ll have to plan for but it is worth while. The atmosphere is cosy but even on a hot summer’s day, as in our case recently, it can still feel a tad on the cool side in this 18th century, waiting room for the dairy herds about to be milked. On colder days they light the log burner and I can imagine that to be an even more congenial experience. We will certainly be returning from time to time. As you’d expect the experience is rustic with branded, wooden serving trays and cast iron sizzler plates, all adding to the feel of this friendly restaurant. The food was very good and the portions would satisfy the hungriest diners. Unfortunately, I was unable to finish my meal, but next time we’ll share the starter, which was a meal in itself. The Bull Shed team are very friendly and on the ball. We arrived on time and didn’t have to wait long to be served. The food was piping hot, very tasty and nicely presented. You’ll need to take cash, which I’d forgotten. There is no signal whatsoever at the restaurant so card machines just wouldn’t work. Despite my oversight, the embarrassing, close to pot-washing situation was rescued when the manager gave me the option to pay by BACS when I got home. I’d never been there before, so we were unknown to them, making this act of trust particularly friendly and very much appreciated. The experience was complete. Cosy location, great food, lovely people and definitely recommended. And I didn’t forget to pay them when I got home. 😅.

Five stars is nowhere near enough for this place. We had a 16oz T-Bone steak which was cooked to perfection. If you have any room after that you need to try the Shottle Mess😋 Absolutely fantastic place with really friendly staff. It is well worth the trip and we will definitely be doing so again.

What an experience, well worth the drive down the farm track. The beer on hand pull was an excellent drink brewed on the farm, due to driving didn't get chance to sample the others, next time. We had steaks and pie of the day, steak and mushroom, both were cooked to perfection and the gravy was to die for. We all managed a pudding and it was proper rib sticking, lovely. It was our first visit but definitely not our last.
