As usual the food was first class and the service was great. The cost of our meal was very reasonable considering we had a bottle of wine plus desert. My go to place where I can guarantee a splendid meal.

Great Experience at The Bull Brentwood. Service was amazing, the friendly staff made you feel welcomed from the offset. The food was exemplary and has such a great selection for anyone with a gluten intolerance! Can’t wait to go back again as such good value for money and you’re well looked after.

I am a Coeliac, so having a range of gluten free options is great for me. We had curried chicken in a poppadum basket and salt and pepper squid for starters. These were both gf, so we shared them. For mains we had the Bull burger (not gf) and the Cajun chicken burger with a gf bun. They even had some good gf options for dessert - sticky toffee pudding, with banana ice cream, for me, and a banana split for my husband. Was really quite full and could have skipped dessert, but how could I, when I never usually get the chance?!! Food was excellent, and were the staff

We had a lovely lunch at The Bull yesterday. The food was lovely and our waitress was fantastic. Traffic was exceptionally heavy outside as there had been an accident so our lift was very delayed. This was not a problem at all. The staff gave us a comfortable table and we had a lovely cup of tea whilst we waited. Would thoroughly recommend for either lunch or dinner. You definitely won’t regret it.
