We didn't stay at the Bull - went for a group lunch with work and had a very average meal, the service was slow and the staff seemed to be two sandwiches, short of a picnic. We decided to give the pub another go and popped in after one evening for a bite to eat at 6pm, only to fnd... more

I visited the Bull for dinner with my family to celebrate my Mum's birthday. It was lovely until one member of our party discovered his Southern Fried Chicken was raw in the middle. His meal was replaced with a cursory apology from the waitress. We had no apology from a manager and no refund was offered. The staff were clearly... more

A group of us stayed here (4 couples). Our room was a tad small but had a really comfy bed and pillows. Food was great, as was the service. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Lovely church next door and the river is two minutes walk. All in all had a lovely weekend. Would stay there again more

After a long flight home it was great to find a very comfortable place to recover and relax. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The full english was a monster and beautiful. Only downside was that the DVD library didn't have anything for kids. more

Lovely old building with traditional furnishings, Good food and drink.Nicely situated close to the river. Unlike some reports, we found all the staff to be friendly and very helpful with all our problems - we are vegetarian and unable to carry our luggage. more

We spent only one night at the Bull, but it was truly one of the highlights of our trip to England! The atmosphere was perfect, the family room very suitable for our family of 5. We had a great dinner with friends at the pub, spent the night, and the breakfast was lovely! more

Were really looking forward to staying here as had fantastic time last time. The room we had (one featured in photos was very small - not quite enough room for me to put my case fully open on the floor) bed very comfy, bathroom good but shower hose broken (:-o). The bar and the outside was great but our evening... more

The Bull is one of my favourite local pubs/eateries and has been for years. However, I've had three mediocre meals on the run there of late which is a great disappointment. It does look very much like the investment in a recent refurb (which has been done very nicely) is being re-couped by lower food standards and portion control:- 1.... more

We stayed at The Bull as we were going to a party in the area. The pub itself has a pleasant atmosphere and is very nice to sit and relax in. The room was of a reasonable size and was clean and comfortable although the door could be opened by a sharp push even when locked! The food we had... more

The 'The Bull Inn' in Sonning is approximately 2.5 miles by road to the Thames Valley Business Park so it only took me 5 minutes each day to get There. I left the Inn at approximatly 8:30 each morning as before this time there is a lot of traffic on the counrty roads. The Inn it self was very good... more
