![5]( "Recensione")
Popped in for hubby to use toilet, as travelled back from Swanage. I kindly asked a nice woman staff, ok for hubby to use the facilities? She seemed kind enough. I went to order Chinese pancake roll and prawn crackers for hubby, then popped back to see if hubby was ok? He came out and said we'll have a drink, but I said let's eat yr Chinese first, then have a drink. The kind staff said it was ok to bring his foods in. I said to her, that I didn't think we were allowed to bring foods in? What I didn't know, was that the pub don't serve foods anymore, only snacks. The couple across told us that, and said since Covid, they shut the kitchen and hadn't start serving foods again. Anyway, it was a pleasant evening and kind of the woman staff to let hubby eat his foods.
Also, we hadn't played pool table before, and cldn"t feed 50p through the slot, tried it a few times, and said to the woman staff. There was a green button hadn't been pressed to release the balls, and we had a free game. Again, the kind woman was lovely, to let us play a free game.
Definitely will return soon.
Thanks for being kind and helpful.
When I read reviews I’m often staggered by the difference in the experiences people have of the same place. We visited The Bull on Saturday night with some trepidation after reading a couple of the one star comments. We were greeted warmly and enthusiastically by the bar staff and helped with our choice of drinks. We decided to have a meal. We started by sharing the most delicious creamy garlic mushrooms served on garlic bread fingers. For our main courses I chose the Scampi and my wife decided on the battered fish. Both meals were served with very tasty skin on chips as well as peas and the best home made tartar sauce I have ever had. The service was quick, efficient and friendly and we had a really enjoyable time. I hope that your experience is as good as ours was if you decide to visit this excellent pub.
Welcoming and friendly. Good atmosphere, had a good time watching the rugby.
Nice venue friendly service and great price especially during happy hour 😀
1st time visitor but really liked the vibe there will return
Friendly staff, cosy pub, good beer and a lovely meal! We recommend the Tagliatelle special!
Good lively atmosphere. Sports bar, football on a lot. Pool table, free table football outside. Food good and friendly staff. Good sized outside seating area and good sized eating side of the pub. Could do with a wider selection of ales, but on the whole a good place to go.
We went on a Thursday evening and it was fairly busy for a quiet village. Beer selection good and food very reasonably priced and good. Would certainly call here again. This is a pub so not at all a place to dress up for.
Went here for a skittles cup match last night. All areas clean and tidy. Friendly bar staff and they even made us a delicious curry for after the match( which you don't usually get on cup matches)
Played skittles there last night, what an amazing pub, great atmosphere and friendly staff.
