National Pub & Bar of the Year 2025

The Bull, Charlbury

The Bull in Charlbury, is a pub that is admired and respected by the industry as much as it is by its loyal customers and travelling visitors. Run by the Public House Group, which is quickly becoming a visionary leader in the sector, The Bull manages to blend a cherished local pub feel with a premium experience during every visit.  

While some may only book in for the seasonal and considered food on offer, a visit for a well-kept pint at the bar or a glass of wine in the beautiful garden is just as memorable. This is assisted by the admirable design as well as the brilliant team that The Bull always seems to have running its front-of-house. Congratulations to everyone involved in making this standout pub the best in the UK for 2025.
