Bull in Dartford

In reply to The Bull's reply: We were having a family meet-up and chose The Bull as a halfway point for all of the family. They accommodated us very well when making the booking. There were 8 adults and all of the food came out at the same time, which was great, but it was obvious that some of the food had been left on a side for a period of time as the chips were lukewarm at best. The steaks were a little bit overdone for the liking of the steak eaters. One of the burgers wasn't edible. Two members of the party were ill the following day, which may or may not have anything to do with The Bull, but they did have the same meal. When asked at the bar how the food was, I replied "It was alright" and left it at that, but it was obvious the barmaid was then upset by my response. I told her the chips were all lukewarm and a burger wasn't edible. She didn't follow that up with any response. Overall it was a nice meeting place for the family, and the first time we've been there, but we'll probably find somewhere else in the area next time.

it was excellent Good food Good staff Lovely drinks

We went there along with my girls for Sunday roast slow cooked beef ribs. On next day all my family had a food poisoning. Horrible feeling.

Had a lovely family meal at The Bull, food was delicious and the staff are very friendly, the atmosphere was cosy will definitely visit again.

My 5 year old son was taken ill at the Bull, he ended up being sick on the floor. Kirsty was incredible at helping look after us. She refused to let me clear up after him, repeatedly checked he was okay! Made me feel so at ease the whole time!

Excellent service by Kirsty who has to deal with our Georgey peorgey all night being drunk as a fart, and she took it like a champ! Well done. And amazing service from all at the bull including Ashley aswel! 😃

Great service tonight from Kirsty for our Mustang group Christmas meal.

I am a regular at the bull and have to say that I am always greeted by all staff but have to have a special mention to Kirsty and Ashley.

Came with my partner for some food and drinks, food was really good and the staff where really attentive, special thanks to Kirsty she couldn't do enough for us and gave brilliant recommendations on what meal to try! Such an asset to the pub , will definitely be coming back soon :)

Dessert was great thanks to Kirsty great customer service good to have her back in the team keeping everyone happy just like old times

Didn't eat so unable to rate. Staff helpful and efficient. Ambience was lovely.

Had lunch service was slow just one person behind the bar also Serving food. Normally service is very good.

Great night and service. Extra special thank you to our server Kirsty for giving us a brilliant service and making it such a pleasant visit for the kids.

Have been for breakfast 2 days in a row now and the food is absolutely gorgeous. Thank you to Helen & Selly on both occasions for great service and smiley faces. Has always been our preferred local! Jay

Kirsty was very nice and a fabulous waitress. The food was very good and the service was great.

Great Christmas meal. Excellent value and a lovely pub.

70th birthday celebrations food was great lovely staff Sally & Sophie very friendly and helpful great value for money definitely will be going back

Bad avoid at all costs.poor food and the drink I had tasted of metal.

We had a gathering tonight for my husbands 50th which included a meal for 12 and then a big gathering after. The bar staff were amazing- Sally Ellie Cat and Chris worked their bums off and were very sufficient, polite, accompanying and just made our night fantastic. Our meals were lovely and compliments to the chefs. Thankyou for making my husbands night a brill night to remember x

1st visit on recommendation. Just a lunch with friends. All the food was excellent and cooked well. Overall good just two little moans. We were not told when we arrived (booked ) that we had to go to the bar to order so we were chatting for a half an hour before we realised. So would be a good idea for staff to make sure customers know!! 2nd little moan is we waited quite a while for our food so there longer than anticipated worried about carpark although advised by staff it would be ok. Overall 7/10

My local. Used regular.but yesterday 12.11.24.empy ordered food took 30 mins.wife dinner cold.mine hot pie and chips just about warm.peas stone cold..Will have to rethink about going again

Good food pub with pool 🎱 and beer garden

Great food and great service from the staff Helen and Ben. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely service at the bar, very welcoming and pleasant to chat too. Thank you Helen and Danni for the warm hospitality. The quality of was amazing and came much quick than last time! Will come again soon.

Lovely food as always 😋 unfortunately they really could do with more staff. The wait at the bar ordinarily would prompt me to leave the food just about helps alleviate that.

Good food and at a good affordable price, I recommend 💪🏾

We were served by Helen who was welcoming ,friendly , and knowledgeable with a smile, we ordered our food and a pot of tea all came piping hot .Helen looked after us very well asking if everything is ok a number of times which I found very professional, next time we are going too try Sunday Lunch .

Absolutely disgusted by the way staff treated my family and I.

Lovely family pub. Nice choice of food. We all enjoyed the food choice and drinks Thanks to Lawren who was very helpful 👍

Very nice food, it has parking and a play area for the kids, which is nice

Very welcoming and friendly staff.

My wife and I, daughter and granddaughter met up with an ex work colleague and friend. BOGOF standard breakfast for all , excellent value for money, as always. Food could have been a little hotter but a good experience helped by Helen’s pleasant and helpful service. See you again soon.

Our party of 12 for a birthday party for our grandson were excellently looked after by Lauren throughout our visit. Good arrived piping hot, service excellent. An excellent family evening enhanced by the staff at The Bull

My wife, Brother and myself booked a table here for my mums 83rd birthday. On arrival as we got our drinks the barmaid/ waitress informed us there was only her and 1 Chef on just so we’d know . The place luckily wasn’t too busy today and this was lucky as both the barmaid and the lady Chef coped very well.and the food was all great(shame my peas were hard- but come to expect that here tbf!) The Steaks were cooked as required and my wife’s pie was great as was my mums scampi . It was a shame they had to cope and towards the end of our stay another member if staff appeared

Great prices and great staff. Sally and Sophie were great!

Absolutely fantastic from start to finish Lauren seated us and explained how it all worked food service was quick and efficient for a Sunday and every time I went to the bar Lauren was there happy to help and even accommodated my daughter who was very fussy with her food choices q

Helpful service, food was good quality and was well cooked and very hot when arriving at table . Didn’t have to wait for our food would definitely come again

After watching our sons school play at the local school, we decided to treat ourselves to breakfast at The Bull. We were greeted with a warm smile and friendly hello from Helen the Barmaid. She informed us that the cooked breakfast were 2 for 1. So we went for that. Wasn't expecting much for that price, but was Astounded by the food that arrived. Not only was it served quickly but the quality was Excellent. Probably one o the best breakfasts around and Ive had a few LOL. Helen then suggested that if we wanted a treat then we should try the Milkshake. We went for the Chocolate one and it was Delicious. Looking forward to coming back soon and trying the Biscoff version. Would highly recommend everything about The Bull.

For the price I think it’s worth it , every now and then there is a blip with some of the food but the staff are kind enough to help and change the food if not adequate .. we did sit by the door and we didn’t realise how often and child would come and just hold it open and some adults

Booked a table online and got sat down right away, Food was gorgeous, although there was 2 kids running around screaming and climbing all over the tables the whole time we was there, turned out to be a member of staffs children 😔 We spent over £70 on this meal only for 2 kids to be screaming.

Free WiFi! Lovely staff and good food what else do you need? Reasonably priced aswell!

Great friendly pub, lovely food at a very discent price. Great staff happy and friendly especially HELEN always cheerful and happy.

Been several times for the breakfast. Two for 1 offer (between 10 and noon) gives full English plus toast and coffee for about £11 for two, great value. They do an XL version which we had on the first occasion but it was huge so just have the regular one which is more enough for us. Helen is quite often the bar tender and she is friendly and chatty.

Got served by the lovely Helen, who was very welcoming, quick and professional. The food was yet again spot on and didn't have to wait long at all.

They are always helpful and willing to accommodate your needs. The food is cooked to perfection.

Wonderful family friendly local pub. From walking in we was greeted by the lovely Helen, who couldn’t have been more welcoming and accommodating. Brilliant value for money and lovely food. Would absolutely come back - special shout to Helen aswell for the brilliant service. Thankyou!

Have to wait a little , but worth the wait !! , attentive staff extra mile by Louise

Very nice food and Lauren was friendly and we would come again

Was served by a lovely lady called Helen at the Bull in Stone today she was very helpful and polite - thank you Helen

Great food great atmosphere Helen was great as always ⭐️

Great value breakfast and even better service from Helen and Dannie.

Food was amazing, the new assistant manager took care of our order and all the staff seemed to be very polite and helpful. Was a busy Sunday here but everything was very well attended too, worth every penny.

Been here many times before but was served by Lauren tonight and she made us feel so welcome. I don't normally leave reviews but she was so nice it made me want to write one. Couldn't praise her enough, always had a smile on her face and always went out of her way to help. Also compliments to the chef. Our burgers were great.

We were served by Lauren, great service amazing breakfast. Thank you

Bar maid Louise was very helpful and always smiling service very good

We were served by Louise who greeted us with a smile and served us. It was really quiet and the tables were clean. The food was tasty and a decent price.

My family, friends, hubby & I have visited this restaurant many many times. I apologise as I’ve been asked many time, would I mind doing a review and finally doing it now lol. Firstly you must put your car registration into machine on entering the restaurant in the bar area, otherwise you will be fined. The order system is very easy. Staff are very detailed asking questions ie allergies etc to make sure each order is correct. The food is cooked to perfection whether it’s breakfast, lunch or dinner. All the staff have a great sense of humour yet professional also, we’ve had some right laughs. It’s a must place to visit

Lovely food saff are nice worked hard ( locals not freindly )

OK here friendly. food not bad snd not expensive

Visited The Bull to spend time with family, had a wonderful experience! The building was clean and the garden was beautiful. We were served by Libby, she was very patient with my children and came across as a welcoming and lovely young woman. The mains and desserts were also delicious, so compliments to the chef! Would definitely recommend, and I will be back again soon!

Nice food and helpful staff, Lauren went above and beyond. We will be returning.

I went to the Bull yesterday with my friend and her son who’s 7, they don’t live in the area they were just visiting. The staff were very polite and friendly. Sophie our waitress took the time to speak to my friends son which made him very happy (he said he wants to come back again 😊) she made us feel comfortable and well looked after her energy and smile was contagious. Thank you we will definatly be back.

Great value breakfast, friendly staff with comfortable seating options. Outside garden spacious and clean. We’ll be back.

An evening well spent with great food and great ambience. Loved it.

Staff are lovely. Kids can play while adults relax. Pool table, slot machines, tv for sports all available. Have made this a regular for a family afternoon out.

When we visited it was during lunchtime. It was not very busy the food took ages to come out (57min) the order although was accurate not all items were served as advertised. Our steaks although cooked as requested -medium rare had clearly dried out at some stage. The burger was also dry and not great. Simple pub food should not have an excuse to be mediocre at best. The lady who took our order at the bar did not listen to our order properly or repeat it back so there were inaccuracies in the order.

First time visiting with our toddler. Amazing service from Danni. Super friendly and helpful, providing everything we needed for our meal. Will return

Lovely place and staff are really polite 😊 served by Danni who was friendly

Such a lovely experience. Staff go above and beyond to cater to your needs, even offering my daughter her own bowl of cucumber with no sauce when ordering a lasagne for myself. Plus taking the time to work out a cheaper way for us to order the drink that we were buying! Staff are amazing. Can't recommend enough!

Was really looking forward to going for a meal with my team from work, we get there and service was not good, the food was frozen and the 2nd time it was cold.well the atmosphere was not relaxing.

I paid for staff to have a lovely end of year meal as they have all worked so hard but 1 meal came out still frozen, second attempt still cold and when the 3rd attempt didn't even come out. I was shocked that mangement hadnt even taken it seriously. They are regular customers and I have always paid for Christmas meals etc but I will he rethinking this. 6 customers

We were in there today at a works lunch and I ordered mushroom, garlic and cheese tart .it came out frozen.i sent it back and was asked if I wanted anything else so I ordered lasagne which came back luke warm. It was taken back to the kitchen and I was told the temperature was 8. Something, there was no way it was that it was cold but burnt around the edge which was mirowaved. I said I would have the garlic bread and salad and she explained I wouldn't get a refund but after she spoke to someone they said I could have the garlic bread and salad but I never received it. I come in here all the time and this is the first time I have had this..The bar staff said sorry but would have been nice if the cook would have come out to apologise.. we did comment the food came out fast..... Hope I get a reply

The one member of staff very poor needs retaining black hair 2 foot long eyelashes

What an excellent time at the Veterans Breakfast! Food was top notch and the sea cadets helping was all good for a great atmosphere . Service was quality and the chance to chat with people of the same mind set great. Thanks for a great breakfast and looking forward to the next one!

Veteran breakfast club great as always. If you’re a veteran well worth a visit 2nd Saturday every month

AFBC good food and good banter as well to all the staff again

Fantastic Veterans Breakfast @The Bull at Horns Cross. Wonderful venue, conversation and breakfast for the veteran community in the surrounding areas.

We go the Bull every month for the Armed Forces Veterans Breakfast Club; the breakfast is excellent and it is a great place to pull up a sandbag and swing the latern.

I do come here for a food a lot (oops) breakfast, Sometimes dinner or just a cheeky cake. I see dani a lot (sorry if | misspelt) I knew It was going to be good grub. The food was fast. Warm. Tasty. My wife regrets not getting desserts. But as always thank you!

Great food quick service. Louise was amazing and helpful.

Louise gave us amazing service and our food was really quick

Far better than previous visits Lovely food and friendly lady who served us

Excellent value for money. Two traditional breakfasts and cappuccino for £11. Bargain and always service with a smile.

Food was great, atmosphere was amazing. Louise was absolutely amazing, very friendly and attentive.

No words needed..this is just pure love .. Sophie is amazing and pours a perfect Guinness with a shamrock or a love heart

Just very busy so expect to wait to place a food order

Didt stop long enough for a full review but the staff service was good. And the pub was clean and tidy

Around 75min wait for 2 plates of food, pub was maybe half full, always seem understaffed with a wait to get served for drinks at the bar too.

Been coming in for past few weeks now for spot of lunch can honestly say the food is spot on we've had the steak deal can honestly say the steak was gorgeous. Hunters chicken was delicious and today had the rack of ribs 😋 very flavoursome, Helen who served us very welcoming

Served by Lou who was very helpful and friendly. Food was good value for money too

Rib eye steak was good, can recommend

Very nice food. Had a good time here.

We were pleasantly surprised, I bought my Dad out for breakfast and he thoroughly enjoyed his visit. Food was delicious and very reasonably priced. Helen our waitress was very helpful, polite and pleasant

Food was amazing,quick and hot on delivery. Our waitress Lauren was so friendly and welcoming and super quick with service.

Very good services, quiet and confortable bedroom. The location is perfect.

Service an be slow and locals monopolise the bar ... but they're regulars, staff always busy and friendly and I'm.only an occasional visitor. The more I visit this pub the more I like it. Moral of story is be a regular. Nice people nice place

Nice pub garden, standard weatherspoons type of food. Good for a casual cheep nice meal!

Good variety on the menu. Various offers on different days. Food was good, but we had some issues with long waiting times (ok it happens and wasn't too much of an issue), but one of our dishes was delayed from the kitchen and arrived nearly 10 minutes later than the rest, another dish wasn't as warm as it should have been. Some menu items were unavailable sadly. Easy to book a table and not too busy (I visited on a Sunday afternoon). Staff were very helpful and accommodating.

As always a lovely meal, reasonably priced & very helpful & friendly staff. Louise M was lovely.

Server Louise was friendly and polite, food is always super delicious especially their breakfasts. Definitely recommend been coming here for years
