The Bull Inn

I ate dinner here yesterday after seeing their ethics and Insta account. It's gorgeous - go! I had 2 small plates, the lobster bisque (heaven) and monk fish curry (delicious). I ordered a side of potatoes too, which were slightly undercooked and overdressed (I'm a fan of just buttered potatoes). I tried their apple and cardamom shrub but it wasn't cardamomy enough (I couldn't taste it). Despite those minor flaws, supporting a place like this is so important because it sets a benchmark for future dining - sourcing locally, organically, supporting British farmers, paying and accommodating staff. Hospitality is freaking hard. We eat out more than ever before so it's time we put our money where our mouths are; perhaps eat out less frequently and choose excellent places. Our choices ricochet through the food chain. Choose well!

A delightful, delicious and beautiful place for lunch. Calm and relaxed atmosphere, fantastic small plate food, interesting and very reasonable wine list and attentive and knowledgeable staff. Really interesting food utilising a few carefully thought out ingredients. Does that hard thing of making tasty food look easy. Would highly recommend.

Five stars all round! Second visit here all the way from Manchester. Absolutely love it, the menu, the values, the ambiance, the service. The food is exceptional, delicious flavours using fantastic ingredients, a lot locally sourced… we had a selection of smaller plates ranging from butterflied mackerel to lamb chops and potato salad. And the staff are amazing, a genuine good vibe throughout the place. Thanks for another great night!

Outstanding food, especially the starters. I’d go for two starter courses over a main course. Each element on the plate tastes unique, with the fish being my go to. A nice crisp Portuguese vinho verde to go with it. A real treat in a town full of pubs with below par food. Book ahead for supper. Bring your credit card if you want the full experience.
