The Bull Hotel A charming 14th century
innThe Bull Hotel is an attractive
three-storey building which originally started trading in 1385 and was first licensed under Henry VII in 1495. The property
has been restored in keeping with the original period feel. It retains a wealth of period detail such as exposed beams
at the hotel rooms and three fireplaces at the restaurant and bar areas. The Buttery - a function room situated on the side of the hotel - was originally the village bakery.
Restaurant & Pub
We have sourced some of the best
suppliers for use in the restaurant. We are using day-boat fish from the South coast and local free range eggs, meat, mushrooms,
vegetables and cheese to prepare every sauce, dessert, chip and roast within our kitchen. Besides the traditional
English meals like gammon, egg and chips; steak and ale pie and Haddock and chips, we are also serving Mediterranean
dishes and delicacies like fresh mussels and hare.
We change the menu every month. For special
dates like Burns' Night, Valentine’s Day, Mothers’ Day, Easter and St George's Day we put together
special themed dishes.
In
the bar we are serving a variety of pub classic dishes, appetizers and light meals ideal for lunch.
The cask ales
are from the award winning Dark Star Micro Brewery with one changing every month.
The wine list has 70 bottles
with 10 wines by the glass.
