Great food, lovely staff and good atmosphere. Not a traditional pub type place. I more like a restaurant/bar. Will definitely recommend and visit again. Just to have one of those amazing desserts!

This is a nice 'Quirky' country pub, good food good atmosphere with helpful and willing staff. I wouldn't say it was the cheapest but what you get for your money is well worth it. Will definitely go again. Top Marks from me!

Pork slightly overcooked and peppercorn sauce very spicy, but trivial compared to a gorgeous meal, gorgeous surroundings, pleasant/friendly/unobtrusive staff and good, hearty all round meals. Fab wine selection and 2 course meal for 2 with drinks for £40. Incredible value for money. Thank you.

Found this little gem totally by accident whilst browsing for somewhere to eat whilst staying in Escrick. The ambience is fantastic. The staff so friendly it's unbelievable but it's totally true. Variety of the menu is very good as is the price. The portions are very generous and the food quality is also exceptional. Overall if I was staying close by again I would definitely eat here and I will definitely recommend that anyone needs to try the Bull

Very pleasant staff. Nice meal. A bit quiet for a Friday night. A slight problem with one of the meals but the offer of a free drink while we waited was very much appreciated. In the end only waited a couple of minutes.

Good hearty food, came out nice piping hot. The staff had a busy night in general but kept cool and remained attentive. I would have happily paid the same price for half the amount of food, portion size was fairly large. My only grumble is that my chips tasted a little fishy.

A comfortable and attractive pub with an appealing menu, friendly service and good value for money. A sign at the front door advertising for a full time chef was a little off putting - perhaps they should use social media instead for recruitment....

Food is always the top quality here. This is my favourite pub to eat in – staff are always so friendly and the food is delicious. Would highly recommend, my partner and I are a twenty minute drive from Escrick and we always try to visit at least once a month. Also know friends and family who cannot rate this place highly enough.

Arrived early, but they seated us quickly. They were friendly and great with the kids. Sunday Roast beef was fantastic and good sized portions. Service was good despite a couple of big bookings in the restaurant.

The food was very good. Surroundings very nice. The barmaid/waitress was on her own and she did a very good job. I don't know if she would have coped with many more customers. We were a party of 7 and I think another three twos came in.
