The Bull & Butcher dates back to the early 1700's and has gone through many transformations over the years. From a barn for breeding Bulls, the Butchers next door, to the the local shop. It has been the mainstay of Akeley life for 300 years. We have even had a Grand National winner stabled in the back yard!
Our menu reflects us belonging in the heart of farming and hunting pursuits. Great steaks, bold game and some different dishes that sets us apart from others.
We have a relaxed service, a large beer garden, welcome dogs & children and are here to provide you with your well earned break!.

Great food, brilliant atmosphere, we love it there.
Friendly staff, good honest food, relaxed atmosphere, bar is dog friendly. We visited on a November Friday evening and it was quiet, no booking required.
Off the beaten track but definitely worth the trip through beautiful countryside and stunning villages. Sunday lunch was superb - I had roast sirloin of beef with beautifully sweet roasted carrots, crisp roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding filled with bacon and sprouts. The extensive burger menu was appreciated especially by the chilli fan in our family. The kids menu was great. Puddings didn't disappoint with sticky toffee pudding and chocolate brownie particularly good. This place has a chilled out atmosphere in which locals gather at the bar and visitors like us with kids were equally welcome. All 6 of us rated it a great Sunday lunch.
Lovely pub in Akeley. Quick, friendly service, straight forward menu, nice food, good prices. I had a chicken salad which really was good. Son had a burger, again excellent. And their onion rings were massive!
We had been to visit Stowe and were looking for a place for lunch and found the Bull & Butcher. It looked a bit scruffy on the outside but inside was nice and friendly and had a garden where we ate. The menu was not too big, which is always a good sign in my opinion but a good variety of dishes. It was not typical pub food but well prepared, quality food. It was run by a young couple, he was the chef and his wife served us. We would certainly return
