What a wonderful find from a Google maps search for a pub in Sonning. We had a lunch after leaving Reading Crematorium. It was conveniently situated within a few miles. The food was great. I had corn fed chicken with a pasty, sauce and fresh kale. It was obvious they cared about the food. Staff were helpful and friendly and there was a good ambience. Very good experience.
On this one occasion, myself and my partner came for an evening meal. Elinor was very attentive and helpful during our visit, even checking if my small Merlot should be the listed size on the menu (175ml) or if I’d prefer the smaller 125ml, which I did so I am pleased she pointed it out and offered. Our food was outstanding - we had bread and marrow butter each, two starters, two mains, a dessert to share, a few drinks and a green tea - all was served very quickly despite it being a busy evening, but that did not affect the quality of the food or the service from Elinor and the other wait staff. A really lovely evening spent here - I’d highly recommend the sticky toffee pudding! Parking can be a bit difficult sometimes so always consider that when visiting, but otherwise a really great place to come to.
Lovely pub in Sonning, close to the Thames.
Quite magical to walk to, from the Thames Path, past a church.
Really well-preserved inside, with some cozy spots.
Food is excellent, have eaten there a few times and never had a bad meal. Staff are really friendly and efficient. Large outdoor area too and dog friendly.
A very beautiful pub serving great food! There’s seating inside and out too depending on the weather. Service wasn’t the quickest but the quality of the food made up for it.
In the top two roasts eaten out.. cracking menu and quality, thank you. Historic building & cosy. Cauliflower cheese served as standard is a winner. Will be returning ps: thank Vinny for the tasty broccoli and blue 😆
Myself and my two sisters visited The Bull in August 2023. I feel compelled to write a review as the food was SO delicious. I chose the fish pie and a lemon and rhubarb pudding. Both of these were exceptional. We will be visiting again - highly recommended.
We had lunch with family and it was really lovely. We were served by Katie and the service was great. The food was good too. The location is perfect! We will definitely come back.
Came here for a couple of drinks/ something to eat and to enjoy the surroundings. Staff here were super friendly and very welcoming. The food was really nice and the portions particularly big which is always a nice suprise. The environment and location are excellent. You just need to know it's there!
Tasty food, well kept ales and lovely setting. Lots to see in the immediate area if you fancy a walk (long or short) before refreshments. Parking is a bit tricky but look to park a bit away and / or drop off and park.
Went for dinner with two friends whilst on the river. All the food was really excellent. Far better than a typical Fullers pub (not that that is a criticism). Would recommend. Our server was also very good.
