As an events venue, The Bull offers exactly what we expect from the duo behind The Pelican, a brilliant gastropub menu, sophisticated but modern interiors, and plenty of charm. Set in the Cotswolds, The Bull is a 15th-century pub that feels made for parties and events, whether they be corporate mixers, milestone anniversaries, or simply a chance to let your hair down in an intimate but refined setting.
Traditional features and contemporary design blend seamlessly, with exposed Cotswold stone, twin open fires, and dark wood furniture mingling to create a comfortable inviting atmosphere. The full restaurant can be entirely yours, with a capacity of 19 guests seated in traditional pub booths. For more intimate events, consider the Secret Garden Room. Set under a marquee, with a log-burning fire and a large banquet table it makes an elegant location for 12-30 guests to enjoy seasonal set menus served family style.
The Bull aims to cut out the middle man, talking with farmers and producers on a daily basis and creating their menus based on availability. Though subject to change, starters have included mussels with wild garlic. Elsewhere, dishes arrive as plates of market fish with rosemary potatoes, and carrots with tarragon. With a menu of delicious perfectly formed canapes, The Bull makes a great venue for standing cocktail receptions, networking events, and company prize awards. Think short rib rolls, ham hock with Lincolnshire poacher, and smoked salmon pate.
All parties need great drinks. Fortunately, this is a top-tier gastropub with an impressive selection of wines, as well as local and craft beers. Along with bottles of bubbly, party guests can expect brews from Lost & Grounded and a Gravity Theory Cider crafted from 100% British apples. Plus, you can spend the night in a luxurious king-sized bed.
