Welcome to The Bull – a place where community and history meet.

Sally and Steve have proudly run The Bull for nearly 20 years, creating a warm, welcoming space in the heart of the community. They believe there’s something truly special about running a business where customers feel like friends. “We’re honored to provide a place where locals can gather, see a familiar face, and enjoy a hearty meal.”

The Bull is especially recognized for its compassionate service for funeral wakes, a testament to Sally and Steve’s commitment to caring for everyone who walks through their doors. Over the years, the pub has hosted a wide range of events – from weddings and birthday celebrations to ghost hunts and film shoots.

Steeped in history, The Bull dates back to the 17th century. Originally a private residence known as 'The Tile House,' it later expanded into 'The Bull’s Head' inn. With original features like charming low ceilings, The Bull’s character shines through in every corner.

Our commitment to community extends to partnerships with local businesses, such as Churches Butchers in Epping and Drew & Sons Funerals in Theydon Bois.
