Delicious Comfort Food

“I had a wonderful dining experience at The Bull with a selection of comforting dishes. I enjoyed a ham, egg, and chips platter, and the chips were absolutely delicious. The treacle sponge and Eton mess for dessert were perfect treats to end the meal. The food arrived in good time, making it a good stop after our walk.” view full review
