First time eating here in a while. Won’t be bothering again. Poor food: the chicken was like rope. Much better eateries in the area at a more reasonable price.

Been here many, many times but not been since last year but wanted to end my mini holiday on a high and I knew this place wouldn’t disappoint and it didn’t! From when you step inside your valued. Pleasantly warm on a chilly evening and chose where we sat. The menu was soon presented and our drink order took. I chose scampi and hubby always asked if he can have surf and turf which isn’t on the menu and it’s always been a yes. For saying there was already a table of 8 another 2 of 2 people we didn’t have to wait very long for our meal. A good plate full of yummy food. Couldn’t eat a pudding but there is a good choice. Really enjoyed the return. Definitely be back.

We stayed for a couple of nights in grey, drizzly January to meet up with friends. Dave gave us a very warm welcome, set us up with tea and biscuits and left us to chat in the warm bar. Nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff. They really are a delightful group of people, really chatty and helptful. I had a rotten cold so I was given a hot toddy to take up to bed! The rooms are comfortable and everything is provided. I would certainly recomment this hotel to anyone who is looking for a very comfortable, hospitable place to stay.

Stayed two nights, room very clean & pleasant, staff friendly and helpful. Excellent breakfast, and the one meal we had was good quality and tasty. This is a traditional English pub with rooms, not fancy but a good place to stay for a midweek break. It's four star rather than five only because the public areas are a little tired, but that's a minor detail.

Eaten here before and have always recommended it. Came again for a family meal, not sure we'll be back. Table was set in awkward L shape which meant some had back to others. Meals all came but veg pasta did not, clearly forgotten and not much of an apology when it came 15 mins later. Only 1 vegetarian option and it was pasta which is an easy at home meal. Desserts ok but nothing special, not overly tasty. Big portions but would rather have taste than size.

The food came out together, hot and plenty of it with lots of choice. The owner was around and talking with all customers which was lovely to see and added to the welcoming and relaxing atmosphere. All of the other staff were all very friendly and polite. Great choice of dessert and my mum was even offered too take hers home instead of eat straight away as she was full. For the price it was really good value. Would recommend to people and will definitely go again.

We all ordered about 15 minutes after arriving and starters served 15 minutes later. Becky and her assistants did a great job organising the flow of food. All came out pipping hot and excellent quaility. Good size portions also. Once again main all served within couple of minutes and again very good. Most plates completely empty so says it all. Few including me who had bread and butter pudding delicious. All the staff very pleasant, constantly checking all food was okay. We traveled about 10 miles but worth it. Will return again.

What a delightful surprise! All smartened up and comfortable. Excellent steaks - not a single bit of gristle - and a wonderful range of puddings. This is not a chain but a genuine family run pub/restaurant with home-cooked food at very reasonable prices. You can have a rump steak for £12. Good deals also available. And the friendly welcome we received was second to none. We had baby with us and were given a big table to accommodate her. I’m also gluten free and was - most unusually - offered four puddings rather than the usual brownie and ice cream. Crumble! Really! I had syrup sponge and custard. Truly delicious! The management did everything to make us feel welcome. The personal touch is such an antidote to the faceless service you receive in so many pubs. We will be back!

They prefer tradional English type food and are good eaters with an appetite. Decided on The Bulls Head as fairly local to us. The food here was brilliant. No gripes or minor niggles at all. We all had starters and mains and some couldnt manage to eat it all. I had the Lamb with mint in the Suet pudding and was delicious and filling .

Special mention for the cheesecake as this was light and full of flavour, complimenting for me a great gammon main course. The room was very comfortable and the bed was luxurious! There was an excellent English cooked breakfast in the morning, with the same generous portion size as the evening meal. I would recommend this again as it’s a relaxed perfect location for numerous activities and days out in this location.

Been in this hostelry on more than one occasion and never ever had a bad experience.Landlords Becky and Dougie are the most congenial of hosts and make everyone feel welcome and special.All food is freshly cooked and extremely plentiful, no one goes away hungry from this pub for sure ! Well served and well cooked with plenty of choice on offer. Also tremendous desserts - if you have room that is !Tip for this place is to ensure booking as its a bit on the small side, however this only serves to add to the intimate atmosphere. The beer is most excellently kept and I can certainly recommend the Starapromen lager if that's your style of beer.The banter is always lively and witty and is certain to brighten your darkest day.Overall a great place to eat and drink !!

We have been to the Bulls Head three times in the past couple of months. A evening meal with a party of six, afternoon lunch and Sunday dinner with just myself and hubby. I can not praise the lovely staff and the quality of food and drink enough.The prices are very reasonably and portions are generous and hot, service is second to none. Nothing is too much trouble. Thank you Becky & Staff for always making us welcome.Booking is recommended as it gets very busy.I have never stayed in any of the rooms as we are local, but it is a ideal place to stay if you love walking. Foremark reservoir being only half an hour walk away.

Varied menu with the specials. We thoroughly enjoyed the Plum Duck and Salmon with Prawns as well as the delicious desserts.

Attended private function pre ordered Indian 2 course meal. When we came to be served they had run out of many items and the food served was cold . We were then charged £15 each for a meal which fell well short of what we ordered. Why ask you to pre order. Picked up a meal on the way home hate being ripped off.

Ordered the chicken madras curry, tasted like tomato and onion no curry taste what so ever could have fed it to my 2yr old. Rice was a cloggy lump needed rinsing to remove the starch. Nann bread was smaller than the top of a small cob pitta bread 5 times bigger and to top that burnt black on one side. No one asked if the meal was ok. Too say was pissed off would be a under statement. Wouldn't recommend the food to anyone

Hardinge Armslocation-iconMain StreetBritish

The hosts are both very nice,The buildings have plenty of character.The menu is basic but fairly priced.Parking is good. Two problems arose during the stay.Most importantly was that the shower was not working correctly and was not providing hot water.The hot water at the basin was tepid at best.The shower issue was raised with the proprietor. Surprisingly, even though we were booked for a second night, no offer was made to repair / change rooms / reduce the room charge, not even a complimentary drink. Simply, a "thank you for telling us'. Also the wifi in the room had a very unreliable signalled was virtually unusable. Shame because this is a really lovely location and the owners are nice but these were very genuine issues. No hot water in January! Things go wrong sometimes, that's life but the paying customers concerns should have been addressed.
