The Bull - Réserver une table

I've been in Horncastle on business twice once on a Monday, once on a Tuesday and both times found the town mostly closed for business in the evenings. This time, just as I was on the point of deciding people in Lincolnshire must have a tradition of fasting on a Tuesday evening, I came across The Bull. This attractive old coaching hotel looked inviting, and the staff offered me a friendly welcome. The warmly lit, high ceilinged interior of this Georgian inn was full of diners (Yes on a Tuesday! Take note, other restauranteurs of Horncastle) and the ambiance was convivial. The selection of beers behind the bar was good and the two pints I drank were tasty and well kept. I was presented with t...

We went for the Sunday carvery. As a vegan, I usually ring the restaurant personally prior to booking to check if they can cater for my requirements.

When I asked for a clean glass she swiped it away with no word or apol...

I feel compelled to write a review as a family who made a a VERY last minute booking. We were accommodated incredibly well and not only that, as the only family with kids in the place at the time eating in the bar/lounge area, rather than being rushed or shushed, we were treated impeccably. The children were made to feel welcome, the food was brilliant really tasty and really well priced, great choice of beers ale's and the Ice Cream treat for the girls afterwards was lovely. Thanks for making a last minute dinner feel so great!
