I came here for lunch with a friend. The menu is quite large, but everything I ordered had 'run out". My friend ordered fish and chips and the breaded plaice was so overdone it looked like (and probably could have been used as) a table tennis racket! I had fish gougons, and asked for salad rather than chips. Sadly, they... More

I came here to meet a friend for a meal. If you are not a lager drinker there was a choice of only two bitters. Neither of them have any character. The food was OK. The steak was supposed to be medium rare but like most pubs, ended up as medium. I forgot that I had paid for an extra... More

The Bull is a busy and vibrant town centre Pub with rooms. At Old English Inns we have strict policies with regards to drugs etc and as soon as the manageress saw what was happening they were asked to leave. Now that the new manageress is getting used to the Bull and the customers are getting to know her issues... More

Nice setting, lovely building and the food is pretty good. Ok it's not the sort of place I would go to for fine dining but for horses for course it was very good. 9 of us ate, including drinks, for £129 on a sunday lunch - excellent value with various offers. Staff were helpful and friendly too.

We checked in to the Bull Hotel in Halstead for a one night stay. No sooner had we found our room we were turning around and leaving! We wasn't expecting it to be the most glamorous place we have ever stayed, but I believe that there is a certain standard for hotels which this place was no where near reaching... More

Amazing value bed & breakfast, pub has loads of character (beams, sloping floors etc), staff were mostly very friendly, breakfast was a bit slow on the service side but choices were good, bathroom was very basic. Would recommend.
