About The Bull Barkham
On Barkham Rd in Wokingham, The Bull Barkham is a pub built around a picket fence and a beer garden, with a menu that pairs typical bar food with Thai and Greek dishes. Ginger Chicken and Prawn Pad Thai sit alongside a Sunday Roast, giving regulars a rotation between the pub staples and the Thai side of the kitchen. The pub takes walk-ins rather than reservations, and live music features on the schedule. Outdoor space extends well beyond the beer garden itself, and dogs are welcome inside the pub as well as out.
