   A very disappointing experience. Food was well below par with two dishes having ''foreign' objects in them. Dishes were very expensive. Service was good and we were offered free dessert and coffees on the house and the dishes which had foreign bodies in were taken off the bill. It's sad to see a restaurant clearly struggling.

   5 of us in for Sunday Roast, all of us very happy with starters mains and deserts. The Porchetta was beautifully flavoursome and well cooked. And take note other restaurants! The gravy was lovely and there were enough roast potatoes....

   When we got there they were under a bit of pressure when it came to seating and getting food out, probably a few people understaffed. To their credit when they sat us they said there was a wait and we were fine with that. Was slightly annoying that they said they were fine for all food except the lamb which was sold out but then when we finally ordered it turned out they were also out of beef. The food itself was actually incredible! The portion sizes were great but also didn't skimp on qualitly. We would absolutely go back again just for the food quality. For genuine feedback for management, upstairs needed another person. To have just 2 people with a full area doing hosting, orders, drinks dispense, running food and clearing table is unsustainable. The 2 guys were holding it together and really good but from our table alone of 7 people you definitely lost atleast 1 round and possibly 2 of drinks plus dessert. GP on that alone would have covered off that extra staff member. We will absolutely go back again just cause the food was great but I'd love Green King/MPCo to be better at their staffing as to not put their staff in those situations.

   Hi Justin, Many thanks for taking the time to give us such comprehensive and insightful feedback! The Bull has seen significant change in a relatively short period of time, team-wise, and we're all on a steep learning curve. We'll surely improve from this Sunday's service, and take the Bull to the next level. Hope to see you again soon! All the best, Nick

   Really lovely upstairs dining room bit next time will try the downstairs. The team are so friendly - amazing as they were very busy but so attentive and lovely. The roasts were good - they need to be served hotter.z Good portions, beef was tender and pink. Chicken tasty. Yorkshire pudding was good Go - it’s great

    Hi Joanna, Thank you for taking the time to let us know how we did, and I'm sorry to hear that you found the experience less satisfactory than in prior occasions. Rest assured, there's a shared commitment to raise the bar at the Bull, both food and drink-wise, and we'll keep aiming for it. I'm certain that on a future visit you'll find yourself more satisfied with the outcome. Hope to see you again, soon! All the best, Nick
