About The Old Bull
The Old Bull is a traditional village pub on Village Green in Worcester, set in the Worcestershire countryside. Inglenook fireplaces hold a fire through the winter, giving visitors a place to warm up on cold days. The kitchen cooks home-cooked pub grub, with homemade chips served alongside the lasagne. Sandwiches and a cheese and onion cob cover lighter orders, and desserts are on the menu for the end of a meal. Dogs are welcome, so walkers can bring their own along.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the old-world village pub atmosphere, with friendly staff and locals, a relaxed feel and inglenook fireplaces to cosy up beside. The food comes close behind, and the homemade chips come up more than once, including one diner's exceptional lasagne and chips. Others mention a cheese and onion cob that went down a treat, good desserts and good quality beer, and one calls the prices reasonable. The food is not universally liked. One visitor who arrived as the kitchen was closing was offered sandwiches by the landlady but found them expensive for what they were, made with cheap packet white bread, little filling and tired salad leaves, and noted an all-pervading smell of dog inside. Another reviewer calls the cooking nothing special but of great quality. One suggests booking a table to eat. A couple of reviewers mention being welcomed by the landlord's dog, and one says they would return for the atmosphere, a pint and a packet of crisps.
