The Bull Bracknell in Bracknell Forest

Food was absolutely disgusting took my dad here for his birthday and was a complete disappointment there were five of us and out if five one of us ate the meal 2 had the steak option and it was poor and bad cut of meat peppercorn sauce was watery absolutely poor quality for the food and definitely the price my dad had the Cumberland saussage and mash for £15 mash was cold and standard saussages very poor quality and definitely not worth the money the child in the party had crispy chicken chips and beans the chicken was tough so she didn't eat it and the last was chicken with bacon chips chicken wernt bad but it's a poor quality of hunters chicken rock hard square cheese on the side not even on the chicken defo will never come bk the whole bill was £97 and not worth nothing had better in the green king

We have eaten here or popped in for drinks a few times over the years. Has always been good service. But not this time! We ordered food and a bottle of wine by the app. The wine turned up within 5 minutes so we knew the order had gone in. Well, after 40 minutes waiting for our starter to arrive we were getting concerned our order was lost, especially as people on a table next to us had received their food. After enquiring we were told the food would be 7 minutes. Three steaks turned up 10 minutes later but no starter! We complained that we had not had the starter yet and 5 minutes into eating the main course the starters arrived. Of course we didn’t want those any more. We spoke to the manager, and to be fair to her she was very apologetic and took the starters off the bill and offered us some free drinks in compensation. The food itself was very tasty. I know it was the Saturday before Christmas and we were told there was a bit of a wait for food when we ordered but something clearly went wrong in the kitchen.

Fantastic evening at the Bull, big thank you to Kate our waitress for the evening, will definitely go again soon

Anemic looking bland chicken Weird creamy peppercorn sauce that had more peppers than good flavour Beef was well done so very chewy Chips...like they were cooked and 10 days later refried Mac and cheese ...not sure which part was the cheese ...it had no flavour of cheese and no salt Butternut squash had no flavour either Even Guinness didn't taste right I was shocked because food didn't match the amazing interior

The price for the food are expensive, and the service even worse. You may only get your starters as the kitchen seems to forgot about the Mains we ordered. We chased up the Mains after the starters about 45 minutes, and they told me to wait another 10 minutes, which is ridiculous service. My daughter is starving and being waiting for food, no explanation from the staff. 3 tables that late than ours has all their food ordered on their table. I asked for a manager and has been told he/she are on break. So after another 10 minutes waiting and still no food on the table, I asked for refund but only got refund for the mains, and not even an apology from the staff. Well, impressive shocked on your services! Not recommended at all! Never come back !

Alex was absolutely amazing. Went out his way to make sure we had the veg roast, we will be back again oxoxox

Lovely evening xmas dinner, wonderful service from Katie

The staff here are friendly and helpful. The food is really good. Would highly recommend, for food or drink

Great place to meet with friends for a meal. Staff are friendly and helpful. Food and drink all good.

Staff very welcome and friendly 😊 Kamil, David, Jane the are lovely people 🤗🤗🤗

Lovely decor and atmosphere, great menu choice and super efficient and friendly service.

We had a work Christmas meal at the bull and were looked after brilliantly by Katie and the team! Really attentive and everyone commented on how good the food and atmosphere was. We will definitely be back! Many thanks

Lovely food and great service especially Katie who made sure our glasses were full the whole time we were there. Brilliant Christmas party.

Katie served us at our Christmas staff party last night for Mill Ride shevwas excellent and will definitely be back.

Lovely service from our waiter Tami, she was so kind and helpful and overall it was a lovely experience :)

Jake and ben are only a couple of the fantastic bar staff at The Bull. Very attentive, friendly and on the ball! Great choice of beer and wine, had a great evening.

We had a really good time. Amazing food, great service and a really nice atmosphere. Is second time we are celebrating a bday at The Bull and the team is making us feel special again.

Good food, good service. Food was served hot and on time

lovely place and ambience let down by service and messy approach. booked a table and entered to no staff at all .walked to bar and just 1 lovely chap working .take any table we were directed .some had reserved . tables dirty and still full glasses and plates.had to order at bar only and then brought by server. prices high for no service.food lovely

We booked well in advance, arrived on time and the table wasn't ready. I had specified on my booking it was 3 kids and 5 adults, but we had to reconfirm that once the table was ready. Other tables around us were provided kids colouring, our children were not. We then had to wait so long to order drinks we resorted to the app, not all drinks were brought out at once and the waiter wasn't even sure what drinks he was delivering The waitress who then ordered our food was good and it turned up pretty punctually and it was all ok (the trio roast was a bit lacking, seemed like at 4pm there wasn't much left) Service remained very slow thereafter, waiting a long time for plates to be cleared and then waiting again for dessert menus and then them taking those orders. Desserts were fine but the coffee we ordered had to be re requested as the bar man was unaware of it. We asked for the 12.5% charge to be removed as overall it was a poor experience, with just one of the staff members having a pleasant and positive attitude. It wasn't that busy but there were not enough staff and the majority of those who were there didn't look interested in being there.

Good good and atmosphere for a family meal.

Went for drinks, the cocktails were really well made and balanced

Delicious steak and friendly attentive service. We had private dining area and it was perfect for small friendly gathering.

Hake with bacon and potatoes. Starter was parsnip soup. It was very good. Service was good too. Have been here before and would be happy to go again.

Had a lovely roast at The Bull on Sunday only one problem they had run out of pigs in blankets 😜 Tami was amazing 🤩 found us a table in an already busy afternoon, made sure we were looked after Thank you Tami hope to see you again soon 😍

The food is very good but it has become very do it yourself. Get your own menu. Coffee machine was switched off too. I’m being very picky but had to pay service/tip. This all said the food and beer are great. Had the burger and chips and they were cooked to perfection and well presented. Will be back. The sticky toffee pudding was amazing too. Again beautifully presented and tasted great.

It would ve been a three star but the barman was playing genuinely nice and trying to get through the awkwardness that half the menu was unavailable for order, and odd beer choices, and that you have to pay there and then :- Around 6pm on Sunday you had no fish and chips left, no chicken roast or any other chicken, and no potatoes (except for fries, hello frozen precuts), and something else was missing from the menu. The food we got was actually nice indeed, save for salmon risotto which while tasty and solid unexpectedly had too much onion and we had to switch dishes within our party. Because the wait time for the food was prohibitive to replace anything, about one hour with the pub almost empty when we ordered. So a pub without a pub food, and no classic pub beers (no Stella, San Miguel, carlsberg, Heineken)? Certainly not a traditional pub, maybe one with a (modern) twist, okay. Camambert share plate was a joke. Also the Czech beer was another peculiar beer option, overall it's OK but so weak that I wonder could you not source a proper Czech lager or pilsner if you don't favor the classic pub beers... Let me know when you load the kitchen and I may stop again for fish and chips. Hopefully with a full bodied lager available draft.

I held my mothers 90th Birthday, Katie, Jayne, Stuart David and Alex were superb, could not do enough for us. Buffet food was excellent as was the all round service from the team. Thank You Very Much for making a very special get together work so well.

It was the first time we came to The Bull so were unsure what to have but Kuba who was great really looked after us and gave his recommendations, I have to admit the service provided by him and other staff members was great, we will definitely be coming back again as food was delicious!! Thank you Kuba for your patience and taking the time by providing great customer service 😊

I highly recommend to everyone, Food was great and our server Cuba was very polite and fast

Came in for a drink only. Nice service and nice atmosphere.

Used the meeting room at the facility for a team away day. Amazing service from start to finish. We were made to feel very welcome and our lunch was spot on. A special mention to Dawid and Kamil who made the whole process feel so easy. Thanks Karen

Great friendly service, good food and atmosphere

The best fish and chips we’ve had in a while! Very cozy atmosphere and friendly staff. Nice pup right in the centre of Bracknell.

Tami was an excellent & friendly server, roast dinner was great!

Superb food and a great afternoon. Cammy was excellent!

Had a great time at the Bull. Tami was the goat. Very accomodating to our food requests as well!

Excellent food! A lovely place to relax with friends and family

We had a group of 15 from our local gym in the Snug last night for a pre Xmas get together. Some of us ordered food which was excellent and service from the bar staff was top notch. Thanks for being part of a great evening

Lovely drinks, Kuba made very good passion fruit martini!!!!!

Great seperate dining room with really attentive service (Alex) and phenomenal food. A slight mix up with doubling up on some drinks but the ladies managed to drink the extra wine.

Lovely brekky and Jane was very helpful with our allergies and very welcoming to my dog

Great pub, food and drinks always good.All the staff are fantastic Highly recommend. Try the spicy mayo and skinny fries.

We have a great meal, Jane accommodate 12 people at very last minute call and she was serving us very helpfull and kind Thank you.

Best pint in Bracknell. Staff are all friendly. Worth a visit. Thanks Jane for service with a smile. Scotch eggs and wings are amazing

Went to the bull with my wife and two daughters for Sunday lunch. We each only had a main. We were very politely greeted and taken to our seats, the seating was pretty full which is always a good sign - there was a good feeling around the room with plenty of chat and laughter. Drinks were ordered and served pretty quickly from our lovely waitress. My wife and eldest had the roast pork belly (pic attached), my youngest had the sausage and mash whilst I had the beef shin & ale pie. We also ordered a side of cauliflower cheese. The food was served in a reasonable time considering we were right in the middle of Sunday lunchtime. Each dish was presented impeccably, with a decent portion and good quality food. Each one of us cleared our plates which is always a great sign and thoroughly enjoyed our meals. We would all go back to eat here and highly recommend the venue and food.

Thanks Jane great service you guys always look after us perfectly

We choose this for celebratory anniversary lunch because had lovely lunch previous week. However this was not to be repeated! Despite booking for 2.30pm when we arrived we were told there would be wait for food for at least 30 mins…this wasn’t too bad but it turned out to be nearly 1 hour 30mins. When food eventually arrived it was over cooked and roast potatoes that couldn’t even be cut as so over cooked. The manager apologised offered us complimentary desserts (which were lovely) and said she’d talk to us about the bill. Sadly her shift finished before she spoke with us again and she had deducted 20% off bill. Although that was appreciated it didn’t really cover the inconvenience and poor quality of the meal but there wasn’t much we could do or say then and so just paid the bill. As we left we noticed the same manager sitting in the bar so maybe for the sake of customer service she could have come and spoken to us prior to finishing her shift. It certainly was not the anniversary lunch we were hoping for at such a nice venue.

I booked the upstairs space for a corporate meeting last week. The team (especially Jane) couldn't do enough for us both in the lead up to the day and on the day itself. The food was incredible and timely at lunch and the service & facilities were second to none. We will definitely be returning in the future!

Tami was very helpful and friendly :)

Highly recommend the scotch egg and the beef pie. Staff friendly.

Visited The Bull in Bracknell town centre a few times now for Sunday Lunch, and I must say it's a delightful place to eat, vibrant atmosphere, nice decor, extremely friendly staff, and very tasty food at a good price, well done to the lovely chefs.Vegetables were yummy braised in butter, my beef was perfectly cooked, a fantastic 😋 lunch, a big thumbs up to our waitress Tammy! friendly, chatty, great, exuberant personality, a great asset to the company, highly recommend

Rather disappointed. First time eating here and don't think I will bother again. friend and I ordered lunch and waited over 40minutes for food to appear. A waitress came over and said did either of you order a burger I replied yes and she said oh we had wrong table and brought my food over. I asked where my friends food was as we ordered at the same time it was only a sandwich. Was advised by her it was just being finished. No apologies about the confusion and I explained it was our first time in the pub and she didn't really care no apology for lack of service!!! My burger was lukewarm but by this time I couldn't be bothered telling them as the staff obviously couldn't care less. It seemed they had our money so that's where the service ended. Won't bother again as slightly expensive.

Walked in very strange atmosphere. Not very welcoming staff. Dirty tables everywhere, even though not that busy. We were going to eat but changed our minds had a drink and left, never to return but doubt the staff give a damn

Fantastic place, food was amazing, great atmosphere and the staff were nice, bit slow on the bar service but otherwise great place! Definitely be going back

A cracking wee place for a drink and food. Buffalo wings are a must.

Private Room for a Baby Shower which went really well. Had a buffet and only thing missing was serving spoons for the salad and chips otherwise no complaints at all. Adam was very helpful and attentive so all good.

Go here for all of our birthday celebrations. Genuinely nothing bad to say about the place.

Overall was ok. But we were seated in the couches near the corner, where we have 2 little ones. So they were sat very low. Checked if we could move tables, but no other options available unfortunately. Were offered cushions but just wasn't entirely practical. So my 4year old and 2yr old had to be on their knees for the meal to be able to get to their food. The 2 waitresses weren't very attentive either, we had to go up to them to get attention because when we were sat at the table, waving, trying to get eye contact, noone would look in our direction. We weren't offered any kids colouring bits when we arrived. Asked for starters and mains to come all together so kids didn't have to wait, but waitresses admitted she forgot to mention that point to the kitchen. so starters came, and had to wait a bit before mains came out. In addition, when trying to get attention for the bill, that took ages as well. Just noone looked in our direction, despite all of us practically waving for attention. Also I arranged a cake for my mother's birthday. But the waitress unfortunately dug her finger into the side of the cake when she put it down. She did apologise but it's just not a pleasant experience. Real shame because we've wanted to try the bull for ages now, and thought it would be a perfect, but after last nights experience, won't be coming back again. Overall impression was not attentive.

It's a shame that a 12.5% discretionary service chargre is added to the bill, and not given on the pay machine as an option, not knowing if the tip has gone to the individual staff member, shared between staff or to the companies back pocket. Back in the day, this was how waiters / waitresses made up their salary, but with minimum wage introduced, it shouldn't be a thing anymore. Our waitress, Katie had a lovely walming smile and attitude, whilst I treated mum to a Sunday lunch.

Had a fab breakfast here with family that came down from up north very friendly good prices and quality food 👌

The staff were fantastic here, and the food was excellent. It's a must if you are in town

Food was lovely once it was correct. 1 meal came out wrong so we didn't get to eat together as one would have got cold. Staff not that friendly. No atmosphere. Won't go again shame as looks lovely from outside.

We held a private function in one of the rooms upstairs, staff were super helpful before and during our event. Food was great, drinks were served regularly and the staff were lovely!

Had a lovely family meal most of us had Sunday roast food was nice but small portions for the money. So we thought it was a bit expensive and they put a service charge on top Staff were friendly.

Lovely venue, great staff and good beer.

Excellent in every way. Our Barman was welcoming, friendly and efficient. Food was lovely, plentiful, and sensibly priced. Seating was comfortable, and spacious. Even the music was to our taste and at a perfect volume, you could hear it but also enjoy your conversation. Definitely happy to return here next time I’m in Bracknell.

Great bar/pub! Probably the best in Bracknell, a large selection of drinks, reasonable prices and they also serve food, which smelled fantastic but I didn't order any so can't comment on that. Location is great, right in the centre next to the row of restaurants in the Lexicon, within walking distance from the main train station, staff are very friendly and there are plenty of seating options, including small and large tables, big comfortable sofas and quiet secluded tables, you can also choose to sit in the old style Victorian pub section or the modern upscale bar area, cannot fault this place at all! Yes it's more expensive than a wetherspoons, but you're not just paying for a drink, you're paying for quality service, comfort and atmosphere, all of which you get an abundance of at the Bull! Highly recommended

I booked a large table for a suprise birthday party for drinks, but we had a great table, staff attentive and helpful, I had previously been to the pub before and thought it was a place to just eat and go, but atmosphere really suprised us and we had a great time! Thanks Team Bull

Best bar staff in Bracknell, very friendly and give a lovely vibe to the bar

On the positive side, the guy at the bar who took our order was pleasant.... Where to start on the negatives? Slow, poor quality, overpriced, stingy portions.

In amongst the modern shopping centre experience there's a little oasis called the Bull. Serving both hungry and thirsty punters the very best fayre. The Bull, no BS. The bollox.

Good food , amazing cocktails and fast service. What else do you need?

Food was lovely. Nice place to eat. Very clean. Really welcoming! The price of food was great for what we ordered. Staff were very friendly .

Often stop here for a drink when in Bracknell .. lovely staff ... ive tried the bar food.. wings.. scotch eggs and the sausage roll.. all very nice.. i would recommend

I recently visited The Bull Pub and I must say, I was absolutely blown away by the incredible food and outstanding customer service. The burgers were juicy and flavorful, the fries were perfectly crispy, and the famous Scotch egg was a true delight. Not only was the food top-notch, but the customer service was exceptional. The staff were friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure that my dining experience was nothing short of fantastic. The local was also clean and had a great atmosphere. It was cozy and inviting, making it the perfect place to enjoy a delicious meal with friends or family. Overall, I highly recommend The Bull Pub to anyone looking for a great meal and a wonderful dining experience. I will definitely be returning in the future!

Excellent! A lovely bar/eaterie in the centre of Bracknell new town centre. We only visited for a few drinks, a great atmosphere, friendly staff who offer good service. Worth a visit.

Friendly staff, nice food (food all a bit overly complicated thou - pub or fine dining- make your mind up) and a good atmosphere.

The staff at The Bull (Adam, Dawid, Kuba, Natalie, Kamil) were very welcoming, looked after me and my friend, and we would recommend this place to everyone!!!!!

There was a group us that had a meal together and we were given the private dinning area for no extra charge. All the staff were friendly and very welcoming. I can Highly recommend and will be booking more events very soon.

Went here for a breakfast and it was lovely. Staff and food are lovely.

The size of the food portions were tiny especially for the price we paid. We had to find our own table in the end as no one came to welcome us. There wasn’t much dessert options so we didn’t bother getting one

Food was fantastic, we had the chorizo scotch egg and sharing camambert for starters, chicken, bacon and leak pie and gammon, egg and chips for main, ate the lot! Will definitely be back again!

Visited the Bull after Cineworld trip. Booked for 6.45pm on a Friday though not that busy. Ordered at bar, good beer selection and food delicious with excellent service. Good option after a movie.

The was was delicious and the waitress were very nice. Friendly and kind. The place itself is amazing I totally enjoyed my lunchtime!

Our server Jane is such a nice person always willing to help and being nice to chat with. Everything is just perfect! Highly recommend!

We held a paint party hen do in one of the event rooms The Bull has. The team were exceptionally helpful, communicating with Jade via email in the lead up to the event, no request or question went unanswered. On the day Katie was there to welcome us and made sure it all ran smoothly and everyone was very complimentary!

A nice pub in the centre of Bracknell town Lexicon.

Staff were very friendly accommodating and efficient……

Great place for lunch with family

Overpriced. bar staff flirting with each other was seriously annoying.

Sophie was wonderful, very caring and looked after our big group which was upstairs

I came here today to have a few pints but have eaten before, Tami made the experience very pleasant and David’s service was fast and amazing. Both amazing staff members will come again

Jane was a real super star and looked after us and our four legged friends. Really attentive and friendly. Exactly what we needed

Very profesional bar service!!! Thank you to Tami, Dawid, and Adam

Visited the Bull at that weekend with my mum for lunch. Our server Katie was amazing, very attentive and kind with a great sense of humour. She accommodated our requests with our lunch to no fault, going above and beyond to make sure the meal was perfect for both of us. Katie was brilliant and I will be visiting again with the hope of being served by her again! Go Katie! :D

i was with my family and the bull was an amazing place, we had this waitress called sophie and she ever so pleasant she helped us the whole time and made sure our night was special what a wonderful young lady, also very good atmosphere to be in. thank you guys for a lovely evening.

**Pub Review: The Bull** **Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5)** Situated in the heart of the city, The Bull is a delightful pub that seamlessly combines a warm, rustic atmosphere with top-notch service and an impressive menu. It’s a place where both regulars and newcomers feel right at home, thanks in no small part to its outstanding staff, particularly Jarek, who makes every visit memorable.

what a lovely place to eat and be at the food was excellent and staff were so good, i came with my friends for food and drinks the steak was cooked to perfection and the passion fruit martini was excellent i would definitely visit again but mainly because of sophie our time there was amazing she delivered our drinks and food and made sure we were all okay before she left she kept a smile on her face and spoke so politely.

What can I say. The service was out of this world, was beginning to think I was on planet Mars. Big shout out to my waiter Jarek. So friendly, kind and funny too. Jarek was on fire with his quick one liner jokes had myself and the family in stitches with laughter. The atmosphere really came to life because of Jarek, even so kind to ask politely to take a selfie with me, because I’ve done a few sci-fi movies which Jarek is a big fan of. Honestly couldn’t think of a nicer person and who truly goes the extra mile and then some for the customer. If you find yourself at the bull in Bracknell and Jarek is your waiter, you’re in luck. If the the bull does the employee of the month award I’d like to nominate Jarek.
