Bulls Head in Chichester

Amazing friendly service, staff are attentive really welcoming. Food was the best and really enjoyed my birthday lunch

Whilst the beer and wine were excellent Saturday evening’s meal was deeply disappointing. We had chosen the Bull’s Head on review recommendations and that it was gluten-free aware - my wife has an allergy to wheat. Our waiter was apologetic but a substantial part of the menu was unavailable owing to a lunchtime rush. We opted for gluten-free gammon steak and I went for the chicken burger. The waiter then informed us, quite rightly, that the chips were cooked in the same fa as other fried items. I would maintain then that this dish should therefore not be classified as gluten-free. No rice was available as a substitute so mashed potato was accepted. When it arrived the gammon steak was tough as shoe leather - I tried it as well and had to agree but, after a long journey with no gf options available at lunchtime my wife persevered. My own chicken burger was similarly over-done and the burger bun burnt. There was no hint of a chipotle sauce, but maybe it had dried up. My chips however were good. I’m afraid that, after this disappointment we cancelled our appointment for Sunday lunch. Upon our departure we expressed our disappointment at the quality of the cooking and were told that the chef was away, his place being taken by a manager. I would suggest that in similar circumstances it would be better to close the kitchen for the night rather than suffer the blow to the Pub’s reputation.

Stopped off for dinner on the way back from West Wittering and were made so welcome by the staff! Food, drink and service were all excellent, and the kids dinner (cheesy pasta & garlic bread) was lovely (was actually a bit jealous!). Would deffo recommend.

This was for my birthday, my husband and I. We felt comfortable as soon as we arrived and were greeted by two lovely guys. Had a choice of two tables. Were asked straight away our choice of drinks. As I don't drink the young guy even offered to make me a birthday mocktail. They couldn't have made the evening more special. So friendly, the pub itself is a pleasure to come to. The decor inside and out is just outstanding. We both just felt so at ease and the food is beyond amazing. Our food was cooked to perfection, the produce was second to none and the portions were big. The choice is fantastic, there's something for everyone. The pricing is good too. My husband enjoyed his beer 🍺 ☺️ All in all an amazing night. Cant wait to come and try a Sunday roast. Thanks guys x

5/5 says it all! Everything was superb, from the initial greeting at the bar, to the taking of our order through to the food. The food is delicious and plentiful, well cooked and well presented. The staff are friendly and a credit to the company. A place to visit again and again.

Lovely pub and always made welcome. Luke and Rahim do an amazing job of keeping all the customers happy. The special pork belly was amazing. Plus dog friendly a huge bonus. A great little family pub

Christmas Day lunch - what a day we all had. From the moment we walked through the door we felt welcome. Family run pub who know how to run one. The staff looked after us all day with a smile on their faces, food was delicious and service impeccable. Dog friendly and even made sure my well behaved Doberman was cared for with a fresh bowl of water and his own bowl of Christmas dinner. Thank you for making our day so special, wonderful team. Georgina and family 🙏

Went with friends for Christmas Dinner. From arrival to leaving everything was excellent. The warmth, friendliness and professionalism of all the staff was outstanding. The food was excellent, served on time, well presented, served at the right temperature and perfect proportions without the feeling of being overwhelmed by excessive amounts. Plenty of choices to suit all dietary requirements and likes which were selected at the time of booking. Wine selections to suit all choices and pocket. The whole experience shouted good quality and customer centric. Thank you all at the Bulls Head.

Went to Bulls Head today for a celebration lunch with our Daughter and family.First time back there for many years but nothing changes, absolutely first class.Excellent and comprehensive menu,staff were helpful and attentive,the food was delicious and well presented.We will return soon and I thourhly recommended this venue.

Lovely pub with original features and large bar/restaurant space. Helpful and efficient staff and the owners, Craig and Nikki went the extra mile during our one night stay. Room spotless and useful items such as ironing board and tea making facilities. Excellent English breakfast served on a piping hot plate, which doesn't always happen these days!

Fuller's Don't do Rubbish beers... Have driven past this pub many times and have meant to pop in.I like Fuller's beers so thought I'd give it a try.Pleasently surprised to find the Full range of "proper" beers.Whilst there we had a look at the menu,it looked good.We shared the pork belly as a starter and it was delicious.main course my wife had smoked salmon and prawn salad and I had lamb liver,bacon and mash.Both we're delicious and we enjoyed sitting outside during our stay. We will certainly be back. Nice to go to a "real pub"..Beers,food and wine.

The food was Excellent tonight, and the drinks were good, and me and my family really enjoyed our meals together, and it was so Special going out for my birthday meal with my most amazing family, and we all it very much, and we had a great time, and we all felt very Cosy here, and we felt at home, and our waiter was very friendly, and he was very funny, and he made us laugh, and it was a very Special time to Celebrate my birthday all over again, and Celebrating with my family, was even more Special, and I really enjoyed my Burger and Chips, it was really delicious, and It was Cooked to Perfection, and I even had room for Pudding too, and my Cheesecake was the best one that I've tried, and my Mum loved hers too, and we both enjoyed them, and it went down well with Ice Cream, and the Strawberrys were lush too, it was all good, And I would like to Say thank you to all the Staff, and the friendly Waiter, for making us feel Welcome, and we will be back again soon, for our next family birthday Celebrations, and we will look forward to Coming back again soon, with love from Will Lake x

We were seeing friends at lunchtime and had a terrific meal here with them and our server was (Cam). We had no starters but had Cod & Chips twice, Chicken and Ham Pie twice. All the meals were simply superb and no complaints on quality or portions. We had a mixture of desserts including Ginger Pudding, Lemon Meringue Pie and Sticky Toffee Pudding which were all excellent. We also had an Evening meal but as our lunch here was so good and filling we never had any starters or desserts. However we did have the Chicken Katsu Curry and the Luxury Fish Pie. Both of these were really very tasty and I especially liked the freshly cooked Fish Pie. Our server in the evening was (Luke) who was very efficient and friendly. The following morning (Saturday 18th March) we also had a mouth-watering Full English Breakfast, which was outstanding and the service just superb. We had both chosen our cooked food the day before. There was plenty to chose from and cold food/cereals/fruit etc to have before your cooked breakfast. This place has plenty of parking and the whole experience eating Lunch/ Dinner and Breakfast was just perfect for us. We would highly recommend eating here as the food is superb, the staff exceptional and the atmosphere warm and inviting. Thank You.

Lovely atmosphere, dog friendly, superb Sunday roast and drinks all very tasty, great value and friendly and quick service. Ideally placed for a walk around Fishbourne Meadows before or after lunch.

Just got in from having Sunday lunch at the bulls head with 6 friends what a lovely pup great friendly staff and an absolutely Delicious Sunday lunch nothing to fault all cooked perfectly,and at a reasonable price will definitely be going again .

We ate here after Christmas. Restaurant quiet but we still got overlooked. Having waited 45 mins we were then rushed.l to eat/leave. Despite this, we did enjoy the food and my dad has history with the pub as he was born and grew up in Fishbourne. Keen to give them another go, we called 3 weeks ago to book a table/tables for a meal after our wedding. The date is in May so lots of time. We were told we'd be called back. No call received. I called today and spoke to a lady who would benefit from customer services refresher training! She consistently told me they are and will be busy. No apology for not returning our call. She got our booking details wrong but spoke over me until I suggested we would take our custom elsewhere. Cannot recommend this venue and will not use again.

I was at the bulls head for a few beers with my friends and I am shocked with the staff that treat other staff with no respect treating him like dogs muck on their shoes in front of customers wow how can anyone treat another person like this im shocked

Happened across this place on Saturday after a visit to Fishbourne Roman Palace and decided to pop in for a spot of lunch. So very glad we (my bestie and I) did! The pub is lovely inside and the food is fantastic. Between us we had french onion soup, garlic mushrooms in a blue cheese and cream sauce and a portion of the BEST chunky chips. Looking at the other tables, all the food coming out looked amazing. From the moment we arrived, Luke made us feel so welcome and looked after us so perfectly that we ended up staying longer and eating and drinking more than we had intended. He's a credit to the pub. My only regret is that we don't live near enough to visit this establishment on a regular basis, but if we are ever in the area again, we will be returning.

We came across this lovely place quite by accident. The food was the best Fish and Chips we've had in a long time. Served by Luke and Cameron the chef was Malcolm. They were friendly and welcoming. If I am around here again I will definitely return. Well done guys for great service and delicious food.

a lovely surprise. on visiting the area to deliver christmas presents , we booked to have lunch. The food was very good and the service was superb.The two young men( tom and Jake) who looked after us were very welcoming and has exceptional customer service.

Outstanding customer service from two young men: Jake and Tom. From the minute we set foot in the building, we had the warmest of welcomes, despite having to deal with all the Covid-related routines of today. Friendly without being over-familiar, but attentive to our order: so often do I order a soft drink without ice only to be given ice. Not at the Bull's Head - all our orders were carried out to the letter. Then came the food: definitely a match for the customer service. Starters of halloumi and mozarella sticks with salad garnish (nicely dressed) and a home-made tomato sauce; another starter of mushrooms in a blue cheese sauce also went down well - and very generous portions of both. The mains continued to please: one absolutely delightful mushroom and asparagus VEGAN pie, with mash, fresh, perfectly cooked broccoli, cauliflower and carrots; a steak and ale pie with chunky chips; a burger with french fries; a barbecued chicken with chunky chips - again extremely generous portions and all very tasty and perfectly cooked. I forced myself to have a desert of apple tart and ice cream; and someone else had sticky toffee pudding with custard. The ambience was professional and friendly and comfortably lively. Very Covid secure - as soon as we had ordered, our menus were removed from the table for cleaning; the whole place was spotless. The only 'complaint' I could have is that there was no vegetarian gravy to go with my pie .

Did a tour of favourite watering holes, Horse and Groom East Ashling full, Richmond Arms West Ashling closed, Bulls Head last resort because not too impressed last visit some time ago -BUT - even despite Covid-19 they could not have been friendlier and more accommodating. 2 Brie and Bacon Baguettes came with perfect French Fries and a tasty dressed side salad, not expensive and too much for us old codgers ( doggy bag reheated for brekkers). And we were not the only satisfied customers. Whatever you are doing, Bulls Head, you doing it right, and we wish you every success.

Another great meal at The Bull. The pub has lots of character. The food is always very good and large portions. The roast beef was pink (just how we wanted it) with lots of fresh vegetables. The mussels were really fresh and tasty and had french bread and butter with them instead of chips. Very friendly welcoming staff. Close to Fishbourne Palace.

This is the third visit we've had to the pub for food and again we were not disappointed. Our waiter was unbeleiveably friendly and talkative and was happy to strike conversation and recommend dishes. His customer service was flawless - I wish I'd gotten his name! I think it was Ben or Dan or something like that.I had the fish pie and I can honestly say it still stands as the best fish pie I've ever had - which is a big compliment as I'm very into my fish. It was fresh, cheesy, a generous portion of beautiful fish and prawns and it was just wonderful. My partner had the lamb shank and it just fell off the bone and he said it was also very lovely. We had the garlic bread and sweet potato fries which were fresh and cooked to perfection. Excellent experience all round and we will absolutely continue and look forwad to coming here in the future.

My husband and I have just been for a lovely lunch at the Bull's Head on 4 July. Literally the first ones in the door! The food was delicious and our service was fantastic. They have clearly made a big effort to add in as many safety measures as possible without compromising on a warm and relaxed pub experience. We sat indoors and felt comfortable and reassured. We will be back soon!

The home made fish pie is a must if you visit here. Family run who also run the Travellers Joy further along the A259 at Southbourne.Plenty of seating but best to book for peak times. Parking at the rear with outside seating for warmer days.

This was a mixed bag very nice inside and very welcoming a lovely space between dishes!! But For a country and are localPub!very poor food I first ordered a burger to be told no burgers on a Sunday due to no produce!Starters were good apart from the chicken wings being from bookers cash and carry and just re heated and sauce addedI then ordered the cod large portion of fish but a very soggy batter,advertised with chunky chips and I received french fries no apologies or reduce in cost!My partner had steak and it was a very poor quality of meat!This is are second visit the 1st wasn’t great but after hearing new owners fault we would give it another try and we’re disappointed to say the least!For £97 pounds was a poor meal and I hope things can improve for are local pub

Just moved to the area, been recommended by our new neighbours to try Bulls Head. The first impressions was lovely pub and very busy as it was Saturday Great host with smile took as to the table and told us the specials of the day, and what weren't available on menu I had for my starters whitebait my wife butterflied kingprawns and our friends salmon roulade and chauder Great and beautiful cooked duck from the special board for me My wife the yummy Monkfish thai curry Our friends Ribey steak and Belly pork We so much enjoyed our food and the atmosphere created by the host We thought he was the new landlord Then he (joked if I was landlord you would have the first round of drinks free) Thanks Zeni as before we left asked him for his name For creating such a lovely time for us We will be back soon

First visit at the Bulls Head on Friday nightAnd the pub was packed with drinkers and the people eatingWere greeted by Zeni and he took us to the tableAs we sat and went through the menu he was promptQuick took the drinks order and returned to explain the specials of the DaySoon we heard the Roast duck breast 3 of us went for it with one of us Gluten FreeHis service was so professional he managed the whole full pub on his ownFood arrived on time and no delaysThe duck was so delicious and the star were the dauphenoise potatoesGreat kept London PrideThanks Zeni for the great and professional serviceAnd to the chef for wonderful food

Carolina & i visited on a whim for our 1st visit on the 10th & returned on the 13th because we wanted to see if our 1st, positive impression was justified, which it was .This recently refurbished Fullers pub has a warm & welcoming ambience, with a good selection of beers, spirits etc.The only slight 'negative' to our 1st visit was a perceived abruptness of the gentleman behind the bar.We hope to return for,if not before; the Willie Austin night on February 5th.

I have never felt so looked after and cared for from a pub before! Zeni is truly exceptional, the attention to detail, his professional approach, his management skills are superb.The food is delicious, plenty of drinks to choose from and such a friendly atmosphere... thanks mainly to Zeni.I cannot offer praise enough.An exceptional pub...well done Paul

Went for Sunday lunch with my wife just before Christmas, good selection of beers and wines and generous portions of well cooked food. Staff friendly and efficient and pub is clean and warm with a log fire. Landlord Stuart has got it just right with reasonably priced menu and a good selection of food. And plenty of space in the car park.For me, its the nicest pub around this area. Will definitely go there again.

Lovely meal in a lovely pub / restaurant at a very good price. Everyone was extremely happy with their meal.

Food very tasty. I have no problem with the meal apart from the fact that we waited a long time for it to arrive. So long that the waiter/barman came to ask us whether we had enjoyed our meal when he’d not actually brought us any cutlery nor our meals. I think we must’ve upset him as we didn’t let him give his excuses to us as to why I was served sweet potato chips instead of rice with the gumbo I’d ordered. If this had been mentioned before the food arrived (and bear in mind that it took a long time in coming), I’d have changed my order for something else. I ordered the gumbo because I fancied a rice dish. All in all, the food was fresh for us all and cooked well. Our friend’s liver could’ve done with being trimmed better. The fish and chips were excellent, as was the fish pie. We stopped by the pub to eat after visiting the Fishbourne Roman Palace and it was conveniently nearby.

My roast lamb was great - slightly pink, fine yorkshire pudding, nice roast spuds, immaculately cooked vegetables. The sensible half had gumbo - more seafood than she could eat, a little spicy, close to perfect. Great value. Her mum had pork belly. I finished that for her - really good. Deserts were Lemon Meringue Roulade, Chocolate Brownie and Ice-cream. All faultless.Glasses of house wine were fine. The IPA was really good - a well kept pint.Good coffee too.The service was odd though - despite offering table service we had to go to the bar to move things along at every stage. There were at least three staff wandering in and out but catching an eye was near impossible and for long periods there was nobody in sight at all. All fine, polite and good natured, and once we had ordered the food was prompt, but making the order was a challenge

Both Sunday and Monday evening they were only serving food until 8pm so thought it prudent to book a table. Sunday was very busy and we both opted for the Sunday Roast which was very tasty. Monday we had the fish and chips and the steak and stilton pie, again both were excellent. Must recommend the Blood Orange Sorbet it is absolutely sublime. Both evenings the staff we helpful and friendly

We have been to the Bulls Head a couple of times recently. Since the new management took over a few months back things have improved dramatically. The food and the service are now both excellent and they keep a nice drop of Fuller's ale.

Hubby and I decided to give this unassuming little roadside pub a go one Thursday night after reliable foodie friends gave it the thumbs up for a little midweek dining.

We were stopping at a local hotel and wanted a pub dinner so we saw the Bulls Head on TA and decided to go there. Big car park at the rear of the pub with a rear entrance.

Lovely quaint pub. Looked nice from the road. Very rustic and welcoming with loads of original features,beams etc. Generous portions, really tasty. Outside beer garden and good sized car park Really good service.

Accidentally found this amazing pub after visiting the roman palace. Beautiful building and great food.

v good food and excellent service,had lamb shank and a type ofbubble and squeak,and wife had excellent salad,we will definately go again.

It was OK. Nothing special, just OK. meat alright, nice Yorkshire pudding, veg freshly cooked but plain, roast potatoes boring, no flavour, gravy OK, but the most disappointing part was bought in apple sauce. Yuk. Glue like texture and flavourless. Why? so easy to make apple sauce......

A varied menu, with food expertly, and freshly, served in very pleasant surroundings. Friendly & polite staff.

A lot better now that this place has changed hands, varied menu and reasonably priced, polite staff, would recommend!!

We stopped by for a quick early dinner and were not disappointed. The place was humming with activity even at 6.30pm so had a good atmosphere - lots of locals which is always a good sign.

Excellent trad pub with good ale, extensive menu and copious helpings. Recommend the fish pie or the liver and bacon

Having occasionally popped in to the bulls head for some nice home cooked food I was disappointed to find the pub has recently changed its menu (which is less varied than it used to be) in my opinion for the worse. The meat in the beef burginon was so chewy it was just about edible. Not to be ones to complain we decided to leave it and not bother again. A friend also said this happened on a separate visit and the staff laughed it off but did offer a free desert, hardly a replacement of a main meal. His partner had a veggie chilly and said it was bland compared to the previous managements version. I noticed the menu is the same as the Travellers Joy in Southbourne so I guess the cook is batch cooking for both. Such a shame.

As a local we were always deterred (like many) by the previous landlord who had the personality of a damp mop and zero hospitality skills.

I heard the bulls head was under new management so my partner and I popped in for a evening meal.. my God it was delicious. Great new menu with all fresh and locally sorced products. If you are after homemade, beautiful and very reasonably priced food, then I would highly recommend. The staff were extremely frendly and very attentive which made our whole experience so wonderful. We will be back and make the bulls head our new local.

The food was hearty, great quality and full filling, great British pub grub at its best . Well done, we will return in the future.

Meal was better than average, but if you were expecting pleasant and efficient service you will be disappointed. The waitresses were more interested in talking than serving. No wonder the pub was empty by 9pm

A 'proper' pub, nice environment, great food, great beer, friendly and chatty bar staff. A very pleasant evening out. A lovely friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

Fantastic period pub,swung into the car park to be confronted with a row of bins and a large used lorry tyre chained to a wall,not a good start.....

Very poor quality insipid Sunday roast. Poor quality meat, overcooked insipid boring veg. Did nothing to attract repeated custom.

We were with tomytoon eating at the Bull's head and therefore your reply is extrememly strange as no rooms were booked. No one was abusive. No one removed us from the pub, nor needed to. We are all in our 70s and 80s so violence is hardly our scene!!

We chose the Bulls Head as a meeting place for a spot of lunch, having no idea of ratings. Wasnt the worst place to eat but on reflection I feel we could have done better. The food was ok, chips were good and the Knickerbocker glory. They also accommodated one of our friends who was gluten intolerant.

I went along for a meal based on a recommendation from a friend. The pub is on the A259 on the West side of Chichester in Fishbourne. It is much larger than it looks from the road. We parked in the large carpark at the back (plenty of spaces) and we given a table in the front room.

My wife and I visited for lunch as part of a Groupon discount. I haven't been here for nearly 20.years. I was very impressed with the quality of the furnishing. A very clean and quaint country pub with an excellent selection of beers. Good food in ambient surroundings.

I have driven past the Bulls Head many a time and always wondered what it was like.

Went for a meal with friends. Horrible meal. Poor quality ingredients and was overpriced - the whole experience left a lot to be desired. Think twice before going. Poor service. I wouldn't recommend this pub to anyone, even people I don't like!!

Very pleasant place to stop for refreshments. The friendly staff offered excellent food, nicely presented all washed down with a good range of ales and beverages. Nice coffee and tea too, and all in lovely surroundings. Thoroughly recommend, we will be back soon.

great coffee, dogs welcome, service great. a clean well run place. don, drive by - you will miss a treat!

Went for an early evening meal. Good food, ample portions, friendly staff, nice atmosphere. What more could you ask?

Fresh mussels, and all our roast dinners piping hot and beautifully presented. Friendly staff. Will definitely return.

Was not impressed with the food most definitely not fresh and fried and very unwelcoming won’t return

Went out for a meal with friends in the evening, food was good standard pub food, however no steak. Staff friendly really nice atmosphere we will visit again. If you go out for lunch food stops being served at 2 pm

We have been here for a meal many times but not for a couple of years. I phoned before hand and reserved a table as it was a Sunday and it used to get very busy and I wanted to be sure we had a table as it was my birthday. Arrived at 7.30 and it was really quiet, only 2 other persons eating but about half a dozen at the bar. The menu has changed a lot (I guess it would) but no steaks on the menu. The starters were a real disappointment, garlic mushrooms were obviously from a freezer bag with a small pot of garlic mayonnaise and a small salad and at £6.95 well overpriced! I had a burger which was actually really good, my wife had lamb stew which was ok and vegetables. All in all a bit disappointing, no atmosphere and I think overpriced for what we had.

Just enjoyed Lunch at this lovely traditional Pub. The Friday special, two fish for £20 was very good value. The food was excellent, the staff were welcoming. Highly recommended!

We visited Chichester for a two night break and the owner of the local B & B we stayed at recommended this pub for meals. We had our evening meals at this pub on both nights and really enjoyed our meals. Different specials each night as well as the usual pub menu. Really well cooked, freshly made and in a really pleasant pub. Would recommend.

Regular Fullers pub menu, I suspect. Unenxciting but that said, I went for the cheese board - it was lunchtime and I wasn't that hungry - and the cheeses, a proper cheddar, a slice of decent goaty log and some good Stilton, that came with some very unexciting biscuits (small moan, really) were well kept,good quality and generous portions. Service was cheery, helpful.

Varied special menu each night plus set menu, well cooked and presented in a very pleasant friendly atmosphere.

We stayed two nights at the Inn. I eat Gluten Free, and the kitchen made gluten free gravy for me. The meals were wonderful and the service great. The rooms were Updated, comfortable and quiet. There was absolutely nothing to complain about except I booked a double room, and got two twin beds instead of a double bed. Must have been an translation error on my part... American to British....

Visited the pub a few times, food and beer ok. Gets busy with locals some evenings, this is a good sign.

We booked to stay here as we were visiting the Chichester Festival Theatre. The accommodation is separate from the pub itself and is clean and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and the breakfast the following morning was good. Value for money was very good.

Mi esposa y yo nos alojamos aquí mientras estábamos visitando Chichester por primera vez. El alojamiento es en habitaciones separadas de los pub, entre ella y el aparcamiento. La habitación estaba impecable, bien distribuido, tenía todo lo que necesitábamos y era bastante grande. El baño también estaba muy limpio y la ducha era precioso.

Me alojé aquí para una viaje de negocios, y qué gran lugar para alojarse.

We had walked into Bosham from just outside Chichester, we spent time looking around, had lunch then walked back and decided to pop in for a drink, very nice setting, we sat outside in the beer garden, had we been staying in the area for longer we may well have returned for a meal as it looked very nice.

Pleasantly surprised. The pub is on a main road but there is a good car park behind with ample parking and a garden away from the road. We had a very nice meal - everything was hot, fresh and as described and the atmosphere was one of a 'local' with bar stools at the bar as well as plenty of tables for diners.

We stayed at the Bulls Head for 2 nights whilst visiting Chichester. The rooms were fine- clean, warm and inviting. We had dinner one evening, the food was good pub grub. The breakfasts were ok, though we couldn't understand why the Full English was served on such small plates!

We popped into the Bulls Head for an early evening meal. We asked if they were serving food, yes. The pub was empty and we were offered the table immediately inside the door, we said have you another table? We were told there's another round the corner. We sat down and waited for some sort of service, nothing, so we got up and left. If it was a pub where you choose a table and order at the bar, perhaps, someone should have mentioned it but it appeared the staff were too busy chatting amongst themselves. Not a place we would return to. Would have thought that as a hotel they were used to non regular custom.

Popped in without a reservation and they were able to fit us on. Great staff, good food and very good real ale range. The seafarers is an excellent pint. Food was very good and we would certainly visit again.

I went to the Bulls Head for lunch today - We had the Special - hake wrapped in salmon.It was so dry and tasteless that was hard to eat. We told the Waitress who said that she would tell the Chef - no apology, We did not have a pud due to the awful main course but just Cappuccino coffee - I think this was from an instant packet - it tasted very odd.Not good enough.

Three of us ate lunch at the Bull's Head today. We all had the same meal - one of the specials for the day, hake parcel in salmon with broccoli and potatoes.The fish was very overlooked, dry and almost inedible. The veg were just plain boiled. There was no sauce with the fish or vegetables on the plate. Although we were asked if we wanted any sauces, I can't imagine what would have been needed to make the meal more edible.Things didn't improve as our cappuccinos afterwards were awful - from a packet or an instant machine. No coffee taste at all.Price for this plus a cold drink was £20 per person so not cheap.I don't know if we were unlucky with our choices, but we definitely won't be returning.

It is approximately 10 years since I last visited this pub so I thought that I should give it a try again.It s still and excellent local pub though there are more dogs there than before.Food was very enjoyable and it was interesting to note that the place was full and we got the last table.

A good pub serving good quality food in a nice atmosphere, not too big, but no trouble getting a table

Great local pub lots of locals, great atmosphere and reasonable food fantastic beer. I use the pub to meet up with mates for a pie and pint catch up and its perfect for that. They also do B and B which should be good. Great value night out

Popped in for a quick Sunday lunch in the middle of a country walk. Only had a snack lunch (baguettes) but these were fine and the beer was good. Nice traditional and friendly pub atmosphere. As tempted by the ginger sponge and this was truly excellent- not the usual "heavy" dessert I was expecting. Is on a busyish road but garden area at the back is relatively quiet.

Picture a nice little village pub, sunny day, outdoor eating area and a Sunday roast. Perfect for all of these!

The pork chop and gammon steak both smelled of and out of date they then take the meal away to bring back minus the said items from a mixed grill only to bring it back minus the steak.We then questioned this and gave up they made fresh chips etc but also served calamari with the chips and onion rings which I bit into and was horrified as I don't eat fish can't stand it so whole meal ruined. Kitchen staff all talking about what was said and going on when we were stood out side and can see and hear everything. We spoke to manager and got money back for the the one main meal but they were so blasé about it all and didn't show any concern about it if I could give less than 1 I would of !!!

What a shame, two people, two drinks to plates of sandwiches with salad and one portion of chips, how can you get that wrong? Well you can, no chips and no salad, then the chips arrive and the salad taken away, then it came back again. Weird, then is you sit outside all the smokers come out and blow their smoke all over you. Been here before it has been ok, don't think we will bother again.

An excellent restaurant offering wide range of options. well-managed, cheerful atmosphere and food to match. Good choice of drinks and wines also. Accommodation available (not tested)

Stayed over for the first time one night this week whilst working away. I have to say that everything about my stay was excellent, from the welcome, to the quality of the room (inc good selection of tea, coffee, etc) and especially the food. Dined during the evening and for breakfast and both meals were freshly prepared to a very good standard using quality ingredients. Will definitely stay again next time I'm working in the area. Well done team.

Stayed their last night. A clean room, great shower. Room was spotless. The pub is lovely. I didn't eat there, but they had a nice looking menu.The breakfast is lovely and the landlady really friendly. The only criticism I have is the landlord came across as a misery guts. But thankfully the lovely landlady obviously carry's him.Would I stay again, yes.Is its value for money, yes.Would I recommend it, yes.

Popped in here for dinner after dropping our daughter in Chi last night and was delighted.Medium size pub that was busy with local drinkers and early diners and a friendly atmosphere.We were given a corner table near the window and settled down to browse the menu and the specials with a glass of Shiraz and a very nice pint of HSB.My wife had the Goats cheese tart which she said was gorgeous and I had the Rib-eye steak which was also very good.The staff are friendly and the pub / restaurant is homely and inviting.The beer is very good and the food cooked to a high standard - we will definitely be returning.

Friendly enogh place but service almost seemed a little grudging by one of the staff. Food generally good but goujon dish had fish and chicken on plate. Close to fushbourne palace so handy for thst

We hoped to enjoy the English Sunday Roast we had heard so much about, but they were out of the beef. I had the very large serving of lamb roast with potatoes, carrots, broccoli, and turnips, My husband had the venison with diced potatoes and carrots. We enjoyed a modest Merlot. (We noted that none of the restaurants where we ate had any local English sparkling or other regional wines.)

We stayed there for a couple of days over Valentines weekend and found the room cosy and comfortable, the staff welcoming and friendly, and the food outstanding. Highly recommended.

Popped in to this lovely cosy pub for a quiet drink before dinner at The Old Greenhouse. The pub was recommended by Nik, the owner and a fine recommendation it was too. Friendly Welsh barman serving great Ale's. My partner & I enjoyed the atmosphere and especially the log fire. So if you like a good pint in a traditional pub with no TV's and no noisy music then I can highly recommend the Bulls Head. Will probably return to eat there soon too! Many Thanks. John & Amanda.

Popped into here on the way back from the Roman Palace.Specials menu and A La Carte both available.Cosy sitting areas in an authentic old pub.
