Bull

Head down to Goring-by-Sea and you'll find the Bull sitting pretty on Goring Street—the kind of proper pub that actually delivers what it promises. It's got that welcoming vibe where locals genuinely seem pleased to see you, whether you're after a pint or something to eat. The food is dependable rather than adventurous, which is exactly what works here: decent burgers, fish and chips that don't embarrass themselves, and the sort of mains that hit the spot after a walk along the seafront. Service is usually friendly enough, and it doesn't pretend to be anything other than what it is.
