The Bull And Garland

Megan O'Neill

My husband and I stayed at the inn for a weekend getaway and it was exactly what we needed. The rooms are decorated beautifully with a European country house feel. The beds were really comfortable and everything about the room made us able to relax and unwind. We ate at the pub both nights. Friday we enjoyed wood fired pizza outside while listening to music. We chatted with several people, locals and visitors, then sat around a fire before heading back to our room. Saturday we ate inside the pub. Again it felt like we were transported to a small European town. The dark wood and cozy seating areas along with the friendly staff made us want to hang out all night, which we did. We started at our table and had a delicious meal. The fish and chips were the best I ever had, and my husband had the steak which was cooked to perfection. After our dessert of sticky toffee pudding, highly recommended, we sat at the welcoming bar and had a couple drinks. We chatted with the owner and bartender about a few places we should visit in the area for hiking and antiquing which we checked out the next day. The weekend felt like a week and we returned home refreshed and planning our next visit.

My girlfriend and I stopped here after a bike ride on the Catskill Scenic Trail (which, incidentally, passes by right down the road from The Bull & Garland) and we had an absolutely wonderful time in this warm, old inn. First, the staff was incredibly friendly and they take great care of you. Second, the food was just out-of-this-world good. We had a scotch egg, fish pie, and bangers and mash - all great comfort foods, all excellent. The smokiness of the fish pie, the peppery sausage combined with the sweet brown gravy over mash and caramelized onions, all washed down with some nice craft beers. The third thing that made it a great time was the atmosphere. We ate at the bar, which we love to do, and their bar area is small but cozy. We met very nice people and had lots of laughs and good conversation. I often like to go to a place more than once before I give such a review, but I know I will be back here. I highly recommend it.

Great restaurant with very good food at excellent price point, especially considering what has been happening with rising costs and prices at other restaurants. Staff is great with wonderful atmosphere. Love the outside garden when weather permitting.
