Welcome to The Bull Inn, a traditional, long-standing public house on the road between Wokingham and Arborfield.The pub dates back to at least 1728, before which it was a brew-house for Sparks Farm.It has been a Grade II listed building for more than 40 years. The bar area features a lovely inglenook fireplace, and there are etched glass windows from around that time.Originally, it was The Bull Public House and Smithy, and the forge still remains in the restaurant area, although it hasn't been used since around 1979.The pub was named after the Bullock family, who were Lords of Barkham Manor, which is just across the road.These days, The Bull is a well-known landmark and gathering place, and it maintains the charm of a well kept rural country pub, with fine ales, good food, and welcoming service.The menu features authentic Thai cuisine as well as classic British pub food.The pleasant garden area to the rear is a perfect place to while away summer afternoons and evenings.
