The Bull Inn Arborfield

The prices have increased considerably since reopening, however the menu has shrunk. Food of very average quality and very poorly cooked, definitely not worth the money. A shadow of its former self.

A family evening to celebrate a 50th Anniversary. The staff were efficient and prompt. Nothing was too much trouble. A great choice of food on the menu and everything was delicious. Will definitely go back soon.

Good food and friendly service from 2 ladies serving, unfortunately spoiled by the surly male waiter.6 of us were having a family meal, we enjoyed the roasts and then all ordered a pudding, i mentioned to the waiter that we were there celebrating my dads 85th birthday and could he have custard and cream with his crumble, the reply was an abrupt ‘he can have what he wants you’ll be paying for it’Really spoiled the mood, won’t be rushing back!

Four of us had a table reservation yesterday lunchtime (folks had been before but was myself and daughters first visit booking recommended as was pretty full at 1230. This to me was a good sign of what to expect and wasn't disappointed). Nice friendly greeting on arrival, super service where nothing was too much trouble to the superb food choice, I settled for the rib of beef sunday roast which was excellent, as was all the food served. All round a great visit was had by all.

Further to my 2 earlier reviews, June 2019 January 2020 it is simply a pleasure to eat regularly at The Bull Arborfield Cross. The meals here, are like reading good books you are sorry when you have finished them !!In these bewildering times, you still feel very comfortable eating here, with Covid 19 protocol impeccably followed by both Staff and Diners.Have already booked to come back for lunch during this coming week.Thank you again to all of the Team , who make us so welcome.Michael and Anne

Called in on spec yesterday at lunchtime. Warm and friendly greeting, excellent service, good atmosphere. What a great idea having all the lunch dishes at the same price, similarly the desserts! Plenty of choice. Our Lamb Rogan Josh curry was better than many we've had in Indian restaurants.... Followed by sticky toffee pudding and vanilla creme brulee and coffee. Terrific value and we thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. Good parking and a nice garden for the better weather. Thank you. We'll certainly be back!

As mentioned in my first review (6th June 2019) of this remarkable hostelry, which Anne and I discovered a year ago now, continues to be in a class of its own. One of yesterdays Lunch Special 's was Baked Shoulder of Pork topped by a slice of ham, tomatoes and melted cheese, and served with saute potatoes, and fresh vegetables, all cooked to perfection and tasting delicious. Being now retired we have been fortunate to eat here regularly over the past twelve months and simply enjoy the warm welcome, atmosphere, food and service. Returning very soon for a Sunday lunch bringing close Friends. Thank you to The Bull Inn Team . Michael and Anne.

Not only because it convenient and local but we always get a warm welcome by the staff and the food is lovely.Its good and atmosphere is very homely so if that's what you enjoy then that's what you'll get. Great selection of starters, mains and desserts although I would always recommend listening to the selection of special on offer that day as when the have the swordfish it's unbelievable!Lunch is also great, a really good selection of panini's and baguettes.Not so much a bar to stand or sit in although in the summer the beer garden lovely and they will serve food outside too.Although we love this place I would like to see the inside updated slightly.

I wish to recommend the Bull Inn at Henry Street, which stands at Arborfield roundabout at the edge of a countryside of pleasant fields and meadows. The Bull Inn is a Grade II listed building which is believed to have once been a 17th century alehouse. It was transformed some time ago from a being a typical village pub to a thriving, attractive and well-known restaurant but one which still retains a village pub atmosphere. Its success is not only due to the excellent and varied fare that is always reasonably priced and well presented. It is also because of the friendly welcome which immediately makes the diner fell at ease and the relaxed atmosphere to which the diner wants to return again a...
