Have heard some reasonably good things about the Bull at streatley so was thinking of stopping off there on my way back from Oxford to Reading on sunday.

Has anyone been there recently? Or are there any alternatives that I should consider for a lunchtime pint and some food? Cheers!

Been going on and off for a few years - no complaints, decent food for sensible money.

If you fancy something a little different go up the hill behind the Bull, and about three or four miles up you'll get to the village of Aldworth. Turn right and follow the road to The Bell, home of the finest hot crusty rolls which are frankly overfilled with wonderful prawns, crab, turkey, ham, or whatever else you might fancy. Delicious!

Another decent Pub that's on the way (sort of!) that does good food, and some excellent roads to hoon on to get there from the M40 wink

+1 The food is fabulous there and at a reasonable price.
+1 with the roads ..... They're great probably the best 'local' roads for me.

Cheers for the replies!

Crown looks great but I'll save for another day.. the Disco doesnt really take to hooning particularly well especially with the wife onboard smile

The Bull is ok; also can't go wrong with The Swan in Pangbourne or The Greyhound in Tidmarsh.
