The Bull in Brentwood

Really good food if a bit expensive. Nice lay out. Great staff.

Arrived an hour early to find the table which had been reserved for us was right next to large table of fellas watching the football on the big screen. Needless to say it was very noisy not to mention we were really crammed in.I said the table wasn't at all suitable and asked if we could we be moved as we wouldn't be staying at that table, and the young lad said they were none as they were fully booked. We stayed for a few drinks at the bar and witnessed many tables become become free, yet none were offered proving that our business was utterly unimportant to them.Fortunately the Nags head pub is only stones throw away and they were very accommodating, and we had a real nice excellent value dinner in a great friendly atmosphere.If you want a few beers with the lads watching sports then this is the place for you, if however you are taking the Mrs or family out, I suggest you avoid this place.For the higher than average meal prices we expected a nice little restaurant, instead this is s noisy pub with crammed, a TV, plus big screen for the sports. We will not be returning!

Was completely ignored for a good 5 minutes by a number of staff walking past us as we waited for a table to be seated.The attitude of a particular member of staff working behind the bar towards customers waiting for a table was completely unnecessary and I feel needs training in customer service as they clearly have no idea in hospitality. We ended up leaving along with several people also in the qué, ended up at another local pub where our custom was welcomed.Would not return here again nor do I recommend which is a shame because we have eaten here on a number of occasions in the past.Only given 1 star because I had to give something to post this review.

Just had a roast beef & a roast chicken takeaway. Good sized portions & the food tasted great. Highly recommended & we use again

Food was very mediocre and therefore incredibly overpriced. However service was good and surroundings lovely. Will not go again and would not recommend

We ordered a takeaway roast dinner a few days ago for collection today. Very good price and an excellent amount of food. We had the lamb and the chicken and husband ordered a extra Yorkshire pudding, they were huge he was just greedy. Throughly enjoyed our huge dinners, would definitely order again.

Went on a recommendation that the roasts are good. Was a bit underwhelming, the roast was below average, not very much and the duck roast potatoes were lacking flavour, crunch and just had this skin like the ones you get on frozen roast potatoes. Veg was just normal steamed veg. Yorkshire was ok and the meat was ok as well. Beef was a little dry, lamb was better so be sure to go for that but may depend on the day.

Everything you want from a local gastro pub. Lovely rustic decor. Friendly staff. Good food. Nice wines.Photo is the blackened king prawn salad with couscous which was delicious

Nicely decorated, food here was great and reasonably priced. Large car park. Shame it is on a main road and not in a country setting.

Great service. Nice food. I enjoy dining in the garden.
