The Nevill Bull, Birling

We have never really been regular pub 'goers', but the Nevill Bull seems to have changed this!
The atmosphere is relaxed, Kate and Paul are fantastic 'hosts' and the food excellent. We have started to regularly eat here and if you only have one pub meal this year - this is the place to go! A lot of the menu is locally sourced - pigeon and rabbit from the local estate is one such example. Perhaps not the 'two for one' pricing on food that many people have become acustomed to, so may seem slightly more expensive. BUT quality, quantity and the 'nothing is too much trouble' approach of Kate and Paul makes it excellent value for money. You would be very hard pressed to not find something on the menu that you would not like and we have never left disappointed.
Our children are welcomed and we have seen many dogs made of fuss of, including having dog bowls readily available - so an ideal resting place if out with the children/dog on a walk or bike ride!
The beer garden is small and perfectly formed, pretty hanging baskets and flower beds surround you. Kate and Paul have done wonders in the short space of time they have been here (under a year I believe) and I suspect that there is still plenty that they plan to do, to improve it even more ...... although I am not convinced there really is much more that can be done, as in our opinion it is great.
Give it a go!
