The Bull Bracknell Reviews Summary

Staff Service

Pros:

• "I want to commend the staff for their efforts in creating a festive atmosphere to welcome the New Year."
• "Karen in particular was especially attentive and made sure we felt looked after."
• "The staff were attentive without being intrusive; big shout out to Jane!"
• "The bar was busy but the restaurant wasn't which meant we could all talk easily. The 2 Ladies behind the bar worked very hard and were very friendly."
• "Popped in for a Christmas 'do' and couldn't have been in a nicer setting, amazing atmosphere with music and lighting on point! The girl behind the bar (Karen) also super welcoming and smiley."
• "Fantastic service from Max, provided everything we needed and then some, even had time to check in on us despite being the only waiter in that night."
• "The very helpful bar staff even came up to the room to take our orders and checked on us throughout our 6 hour booking :-)"
• "Spent a couple of hours just relaxing in a quiet corner of the pub. The barman was very friendly and the pub had a great feel."

Cons:

• "The food took over an hour to arrive. However, it was tasty. Small mercies."
• "Waited nearly 2 hours for food only to find out our order was lost."
• "Awful service from a very Curt young waitress I sent burger back that was Luke warm and pink inside."
• "Horrific service, the servers were hovering around glued to their iPads with little to no attention paid to the customers."
• "Unfortunately, our experience at The Bull, was not good. We decided to go for dinner and we had booked a table in advance. After we ordered our drinks we were told that, almost 75% of the menu was not available due to low stock."
• "It's a nice place, the new addition and refurb are great. It's a bit impersonal, tho. They try hard and it's difficult to put your finger on exactly what it is but the staff are a bit distant and perfunctory."
• "Service was not good. Food tasteless."
• "Terrible experience... No greeting at all.. Found a chalk board with my name against it at the table. 10 mins later, still no staff visible."

Food Quality

Pros:

• "The food was superb. We arrived without a reservation and were seated instantly."
• "The chips were nice and crispy, the burger could have done with more salad, but the brownie was exceptionally moreish and not too rich."
• "We had pre-ordered from the Buffet Boards menu and were delighted with the food which was hot, tasty and well presented."
• "I ordered the Beef Sunday Roast, it was delicious and a large portion."
• "This is THE place to go for food! Honestly get the Bull burger or the fish and chips!"
• "The food is made fresh and wow, does it show! I had the Angus steak as a treat after a hard week and it was absolutely delicious!"
• "The steaks were cooked to absolute perfection and the moment that made the night was the Vegan ice cream."
• "Lovely pub and it's been carefully refurbished as it's a listed building. The food is very nice and the selection of drinks is good too."

Cons:

• "The food was floating in water, pretty tasteless. Extortionate prices for average quality."
• "Unfortunately, our experience at The Bull, was not good. The quality of food that we got was awful. The fish and chips I had was dry with no flavour whatsoever and there was hardly any fish in the fish and chips!"
• "The food here is a bit hit and miss. The main dishes were OK ish but the deserts were a disaster."
• "The fish and chips are not the best I've tried but everything else was fine."
• "Awful food, especially for the price point. I had a burger, which was not as described and overcooked to the point my jaw now hurts after not even finishing it."
• "The sweet potato mash was stone cold the steak pie is frozen then heated up in a microwave. My colleagues chips & pulled pork was 90% chips 10% pulled pork again frozen chips."
• "Waited for the whole order and then had to go in after 5mins to ask for knives, forks and sauces. Waitresses having a chat with each other and chef!! Crab FISHCAKE just the 1, tasteless and couldn't find any crab in it."
• "Brought a group of five visitors from work for dinner. Food was great, a price of a pint has to be the highest in town though."
