About Bull & Finch
Originally opened as a ‘pop up’ pub in April 2013 in a former cafe next door (no. 128) by the local Late Knights Brewery, but in October 2014 moved into the current permanent premises (a former bookmaker's). With the demise of Late Knights Brewery in August 2016 the pub became owned and operated by Beer Rebellion Ltd. Following subsequent closure in October 2018, the pub re-opened in May 2019 under the ownership of Bullfinch Brewery. There is limited seating on the ground floor, with more located in the basement. Up to 15 beers are available, from Bullfinch Brewery and others. Real ale re-introduced in 2024, with two handpumps available. Card payment only.

This is a laid back, friendly neighbourhood bar. It has a standout selection of beers/ales/wines. There's an eclectic playlist music/books/games & knowledge people at the helm who know their stuff. Being dog & geek friendly makes for a defiantly original spot to enjoy a beer/vino & good conversation. It's fun.

Newly opened craft beer bar from Bullfinch Brewery, offering up to 21 keg beers, ciders and a couple of wines. Beer list is primarily Bullfinch’s core range, alongside some lesser spotted guests. Limited choice of spirits and mixers. The space is currently pretty minimalist, but will surely develop over time.

The Bull & Finch have knowledgeable, helpful and friendly staff that will help you select a great craft beer, in my case a sour, from their huge range of draught and bottled selection. There is a warm atmosphere with seating inside and outside. Great place to relax!

Great little bar in Gipsy Hill. Place looks a lot better than what it was and can see there are changes ongoing in the downstairs and upstairs to make it an even more enjoyable space. There's a wide beer selection (up to 20 lines?!) with some of their own beers and some guests from other smaller breweries around the UK and Europe. Definitely worth a visit if you want to chat to the guys behind the beer and other friendly locals. They also have bottle shares every month where you can bring your own special brew and try a few crazy things. x

Great little bar and bottle shop. Lots of fresh beers on tap from their brewery and further afield as well as a wide range of classic German beers with some more modern craft beers. They also have a great range of organic wines and spirits from independent distilleries
