Real Ale is sold here.
It is serving takeaway Lockdown Pizzas st moment (Jan 2021) but is ready to re-open under new management as soon as it is allowed.
Pub was closed from Sep 2018 until end of 2020. Previous owners (in 2017) set up the Wilde Bull micro-brewery on the premises, which will begin again once they are able to trade.
In August 2018, the owners tweeted "Good morning to all our customers. I'm sorry to inform you that as of 2pm yesterday the Troston Bull has closed for business until further notice. I'd like to thank all of you that have supported us over the past year and wish you all the best for the future."
We hope this isn't the end...
