The Bull 

The Bull was originally two 15th-century coaching inns, which have since been combined and beautifully renovated to provide cosy dining from and a perfect weekend spot to while away the afternoon with a drink or two.

​

Run by chef/owner Sebastian Snow and his wife Lana, who also run the excellent Plough at Kelmscott, this latest venture in a striking stone building on Market Square reopened in March 2017 after extensive refurbishment. The slightly theatrical décor, designed by a set designer responsible for The King’s Speech and Downton Abbey sets, complements the historic building, without detracting from the sense of history.

​

Dining choices include the pub itself, the Stables Restaurant which includes a pizza oven or the smaller cosy area beyond the lounge. The menu offers a wide range of tastes from stonebaked pizza to classic pub fayre through to fine British-Mediterranean food inspired by Sebastian’s Italian heritage.

The bar serves cask ales by Arkell’s including 3B Moonlight and Wiltshire Gold and a great cocktail list.  If visiting in the morning, grab the Sunday papers and enjoy breakfast – the poached hen’s eggs on sourdough with oven baked tomatoes and avocado is a must.
