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 visited here whilst staying in the area and booked in advance which is a good job we did as the pub is on the small side.
The service was great and the menu though limited it is all very normal pub grub. The steak and ale pie was amazing very rich and the gravy that came with it was clearly made from the meat juices. It was served in a porcelain dish rather on a plate which we noticed the fish and chips were as well from another table which added a certain quirk to the meal, the chips were also tasty.

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 !

There's always a warm welcome at the Old Bull, Inkberrow from mine hosts Joe and Michelle and their team, but last Sunday (20th October), it came with a German flavour as bratwurst, beer, wine and bonhomie flowed in abundance to celebrate Oktoberfest in true Germanic style.
As the rain abated and the vintage car rally dispersed, the umpah band took us on a treat of fun, frolics and audience participation, all set against a back-drop of a traditional mediaeval German village scene. A packed house (and gazebos) had a great time with fun games, singing and dancing (not to mention eating and drinking) for all the family, both old and young and everywhere in between.
Yet another great success in village entertainment from the Old Bull and mine hosts Joe and Michelle. A great way to enjoy a dank, dreary, wet weekend and to lift the spirits. Can't wait for the next one! Thanks Joe, Michelle and Team (not forgetting Billy!).

The Old Bull is a lovely pub but the food was not very good and it isn’t cheap.
The spicy bean stew was reasonably tasty but had too much pork and few beans and no spice. The steak and ale pie was swamped with gravy which defeats the point of pastry. It didn’t taste of much.
A real disappointment

We visited this really traditional pub for a couple of pints and a bit of lunch. This was a return visit, our first being 3 years ago. Great beer , amazing food and very friendly service. We highly recommend people pop in for a drink, bite to eat and say hello to their beautiful friendly boxer dog Billy

This was exactly what we were looking for. Warm and cosy pub with friendly service and really nice food. Four of us had the Homemade vegetable stew., and it was homemade and delicious. Simple and well cooked.
We will return.

Lovely pub. Food was excellent. Had the pork and bean stew and the steak and ale pie followed by bread and butter pudding and chocolate fudge cake both with Walls cornish ice cream. Choice of beers was excellent. Definitely one to go back to. Locals were very friendly.

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.

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 bonus

Lovely friendly pub, plenty of outdoor seating. Menu is restricted to ensure little food is wasted due to COVID.. The menu is now in a basket’ don’t knock it the fish and chips are amazing plus many gluten free options. If your in the area pop in I’m sure you will be very welcome.

I met up with a couple of old mates that I had not seen for some time for a lunch time drink and natter. Food was traditional basic but not lacking in quantity or basic quality. I’d certainly give it a go in the future.

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.

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!

Staying in village for a few days. Popped in last minute for a meal with the family. Really warm welcome and hearty and tasty home cooked food. Welcomed by the locals and invited to join in their weekly bar game. Excellent service from Sam amd Holly behind the bar.

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!
