"Under new management. The whole building has been re-done and looks very bright and cheery. The staff were lovely and attentive. The bar staff were constantly cleaning and polishing glasses as well as serving their orders quickly. The food was fresh cooked and not microwaved stuff. One of our party was gluten I tolerant and they were very helpful when she was chosing her meal. The portion sizes were spot-on. The menu is not huge which is a positive. They have a limited menu that they can concentrate on and do well. Menu includes fish, chicken, lamb, vegetarian options, steak and pizza if eating in the bar/beer garden. We enjoyed the food and the atmosphere and will be back."

Nice meal at the just reopened Bull Inn. Indoors was fully booked so we were guided to the garden area where the full menu was available. Staff members were helpful and friendly.

The Bull Inn at Arbourfield is under new management but still retains its charm, warm welcome and delicious food. Any pub that stocks Fullers London Pride as its main beer cannot go wrong.

Spotted that The Bull had reopened so came for lunch. The portions were huge and the food was fine. Unfortunately at lunchtime there wasn't much atmosphere: I'd expect it a bit more bustly in the evenings

After a rocky six months, the new management at The Bull have really turned things around. Service is good and friendly if a little dlow (to be fair, they've only been going for three weeks at the time of writing) but can't fault the food or atmosphere. Such a relief!

Just had a Sunday roast to say it was disgusting is an understatement. Turkey was cut like doorsteps and goose fat all under veg and potatoes I think it was all frozen to be warmed through. Beef was stringy and tough. Never again far better places to have a roast I’m sure.

This is a charming spot for a casual meal. The staff is friendly and efficient. There was a slight oversight regarding the ingredients – the children's Bolognese unexpectedly had cheese on top, which was not listed on the menu. Since we were not informed, we did not request it to be left off, as the child is not a fan of cheese.

Three of us just had an excellent meal last night. We shared the crispy squid, which was good to see it was home made, maybe a bit too much batter but delicious and crispy all the same. We had between us the fish and chips, the sea bream and the lamb rump. All elements cooked to perfection. Nice coffee to finish. Service was excellent. I think they’ve got it just right and look forward to going again.

Paid my first visit to the 'new ' Bull last night with a friend. Couldn 't fault the food, service and ambiance of the Bull all excellent. We both had the chicken breast with dauphinoise potatoes and my friend asked for a change from broad beans not a problem. I had sticky toffee pudding one of the best I 've ever tasted. Staff were attentive and friendly special mention to Sophie? If the Bull can keep up these levels I for one will return.

We've just had a lovely lunch at the bull. The new owners have done an excellent job. The interior is beautiful and welcoming and the food was delicious. The food was tasty and presented beautifully. Pub food at restaurant quality. Taking a peek outside and you can see the garden area is big and well designed with an outside bar. Staff were attentive and looked after us well. We had a pushchair with us and they were baby friendly with a changing table in the disabled toilets. Will definitely be back.
