   Staff really friendly and welcoming. Food delicious and great variety of choice. Lovely atmosphere especially with good singer, being a Saturday night. Only slight downside of evening, staff forgot one of the drinks and the side dish of vegetables which we had to ask for. They apologised though. Would definitely return again though.

   Second time visiting The Bull Brentwood and again the food was exceptional. The whole table was so impressed by the quality and taste of our meal. It will now be our go to going forward. Think we'll work our way through the menu. Not a huge menu but everything on there sounds delicious and well thought out. Ambience was perfect for catching up with friends or an intimate date night. Staff were lovey and couldn't do enough for us. One of the best in Brentwood. Looking forward to going back.

   Low stock of drinks. Poor staff were boiling hot. Used to be a lovely place to go but wouldn’t rush back. Funny old atmosphere and no one seemed very happy to be working there.

    The food was hit and miss - fish and chips was lovely but the beetroot and goat's cheese salad was awful - old lettuce, four bits of beetroot and almost no dressing. We were seated by a lovely waitress but the waiter who served us forgot our drinks, didn't give us plates for the sharing platter and had to be asked twice for condiments and then we couldn't find him for the bill so had to go in and pay. When we booked i asked to be seated near the play area (we weren't) and also said the lunch was for a birthday (I don't think they read the information). It was a real let down.

    Brilliant food and pub garden. Unfortunately service was very poor on this visit (we’ve been many times before and not experienced this.) Drinks mis-delivered, chips dropped on the floor, no cutlery given or any condiments offered. Glasses were cleared before drinks finished, but then took a very long time to give us the bill.

    Easy to find from M25. Pleasant building. Very slow service (took an hour between arriving and receiving our food) and staff who on the whole couldn't be bothered. Food when it arrived was actually very good

    Good quality food. Something on the menu for everyone. Service was top notch. The dining area is small so if you want to go there at a weekend or bank holiday, I suggest you book a few days in advance. Great value for money. All in all, a great place to eat.

    We had a lovely meal the staff where amazing so helpful even on a hot sunny day when the pub is very busy.. the only thing I would fault this pub for was it’s value the price of the desserts £7.95 each 😳 I felt this was very steep.. especially as my main course was £7.95! Also my partner had the brownie it was the same size as the kids brownie that our daughter had.. Apart from that I could not fault them.. lovely afternoon had by all

    Service was poor. Waited 15 minutes before I got a menu. Asked for a drink 3 times before it came. Asked for a high chair 3 times for my child. Not fair on the young staff. But clearly they need to employ more staff on a busy Sunday.

    We really enjoyed our starter meat platter and were looking forward to our roast dinner. Really disappointed with the roast dinners we had. I had roast lamb and my partner and son had roast beef. Both meats looked like they were pre sliced sandwich meats from a supermarket that had been warmed up and had a strange taste. The roast potatoes were cooked but had no colour at all, the carrot and broccoli were raw. The Yorkshire pudding looked and tasted like an Aunt Bessie’s. The best part of the meal was the kale. Certainly not worth the price they charge.

    The meal was a amazing and the service outstanding! Until a very loud party of 4/5 sat down next to us and I could no longer hear my husband nor son speak without raising there voice! So we left without having dessert or coffee which was a shame!

    We had visited the Bull on the previous night as well, when the meals were poor value. There were 2 salads and a salmon dish. The salads arrived with full plates but there was a huge portion of lettuce on each but the other components were a bit thin. The wine was full of dregs and was replaced. The replacement wine was a bit stale as if it had been opened too long previously and just capped again. We had the same waitress on Thursday, who was excellent and made sure that our meals were what we expected.
