My sandwich was quite good, although I do wish it had a bit more chilli sauce on it as it was a tad dry. I added some mayo which helped give it some more moisture. Fries were excellent - nice and crispy exterior, but soft in the inside and well seasoned. My husband enjoyed his chicken sandwich as well. We split sticky toffee pudding, which I highly recommend! Service was friendly and prompt. I will definitely be back!

I was here for lunch with a couple of friends, so we went into a nicely done extension which is the main dining area.

The food was pretty good, well worth re-visiting next time I'm in the area.

If you eat in the bar area you go to the bartender order your drink of choice and meal. Hint...if you only feel like a half portion of fish and chips you can order a half order and for me it's a perfect portion of food. They do have a bar menu too if you don't want fish and chips. But really who goes to a pub in England and not order fish and chips. This is the place to do so. They do have a restaurant but I believe you need a reservation for that. Worth every bit for a nice meal out and I believe that the menu is a bit different.

One of the absolutely best pubs (and restaurants) in Britain. As a pub fanatic, I've visited…read morehundreds of watering holes through the years, and the food has never, and I mean never, been this good. I've eaten at Michelin star restaurants that haven't had steak as tender and succulent as what we had here. The ambiance was romantic, quirky, and quiet, perfect for a night out. We started with a potato and leek soup and the Welsh rarebit. The soup was good, not exceptional, but good, and the rarebit was tasty. We continued with the special, which was a hanging skewer with melted garlic butter, corn on the cob, and chips. I can honestly say that I have never had such a delicious, perfectly cooked and seasoned beef skewer outside of Greece or Spain. It was an absolute experience simply eating it. One of those rare dishes that makes you pause and close your eyes at the sheer pleasure of the perfect taste. I never wanted it to end. My husband had the same experience with his assorted beef platter. The medallions were so tender you understand what the phrase "melt in your mouth" means. I only wish we had room for dessert, as the dessert menu looked utterly luscious. But we will be back, and soon. I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough.

Without any hesitation I'll state that I had the best burger of my life here, the Bull Burger! A…read moresubstantial burger in itself accompanied with fries. What stood out most was the quality of the beef, the most tender, succulent cut of ground meat you can ever hope for, and grilled to perfection. I don't get overly excited about burgers, but this was the apex and I thought I had died and gone to burger heaven. All this is a very charming, tasteful pub in the Cotswolds countryside. Comfortable, cozy and oh so pleasant. We came for lunch just after noon at seated in the restaurant. We were given a choice of that or the pub/bar section. I washed it down with a pint of Cotswold Pale Ale... a great choice with the lunch. Service was professional, friendly and fun. They were very engaged and thoughtful and I highly recommend going out of your way to visit and enjoy this establishment.
