Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We had a couple of hours to kill in Inkberrow over lunchtime and having been through there previously and seen this pub, really wanted to give it a try. Beautiful, traditional country pub interior, one of the nicest pubs I’ve ever been in. Great beers...behind the bar and very friendly and helpful owners, were very informative about the pubs history and chatted away wonderfully. Billy the Boxer dog is so friendly and was most receptive to a bit of fuss and patting ! Food was home cooked and delicious - the steak and ale pie is highly recommended ! Wonderful pub, well worth a visit, I’m very taken with the place and will definitely be back….soon I hope !More

Mishelle is an amazing host and her colleague both working very hard. The food is excellent. We were made to feel very special. An historic pub in a beautiful village. Their boxer dog Billy is gorgeous.

We visited the Old Bull Inn for lunch recently and were given a warm welcome. The team were very friendly. The menu is traditional pub grub. We had a steak Pue which was well filled and tasty but it had been microwaved so the pastry...was soft and rubbery instead of crisp. The chips seemed homemade and again were tasty but cold. Prices are fair and this could have been a lovely meal had it been properly cooked. Such a shame.More

Visited this pub a few years ago and enjoyed the experience. So decided to have a Wednesday lunch there today. This place is full of history with the grand fireplace lit the atmosphere was just how it may of been all those years ago. The...menu is restricted to a couple of specials and the usual pub grub . I had the home made soup and a duck leg(locally shot) in red wine , both extremely tasty. The wife went for the steak and ale pie with those home made chips we all had as kids . Followed by apple pie and custard. It was refreshing to be served pub grub as it used to be at so many other pubs before the chains took over. Also very good value for money now that’s a bonusMore

Where do I start? Moved to Inkberrow with family in 2013 and believe it or not never went to two local Inkberrow pubs which is Bull's Head and this one. So we decided to go out first time ever in our local pub with our...kids and our neighbours with theirs. We spent good amount of money on drinks there until certain point when owner(drunk by the way and being serving at the bar) went out very rude and grumpy and told our kids not to play next to white&red tape which was tightened from tree to a tree. When I asked why our children not allowed to play? He answered in very rude way that he doesn't have any more of that tape and don't want to be bothered doing it if kid's will accidentally rip it off. After that it was our last drink there and believe it or not nor me or my family will ever go there. This man need to sort his altitude towards customer's first and stop drinking while at work or it might make you a bit aggressive towards your clients!More

We enjoyed our lunch time basket meals of fish and chips, and scampi. Well cooked, good portions. The staff were friendly and welcoming, as was their boxer dog! Customers sitting inside and out were enjoying the food, and the quiet location. Highly recommended!

I might be biased as I am a local but I give Old Bull 5 stars. Really friendly service, tables distanced, tasty home cooked fish and chips. Its a lovely pub and I like the inside as much as the outside, beams, flagstone floor, fireplaces...and dog friendly. XXX to Billy the Boxer! Disappointed no puds at the moment!More

First trip out to a pub since Lockdown so wasn't sure what to expect. Visited half a dozen times during our stay in Inkberrow and each time we were warmly greeted and served promptly. All tables were sanitised after use before next customers. Very clean...and very organised.More
