Bulls Head in Rochdale

Excellent country pub. Very buy at weekends. Best to book

Nice atmosphere, decor is dated but part of the charm, although the black emergency lighting and cable in the main seating area looks a mess. We were disappointed during our visit. We waited a while for our food and a lady asked us who had served us when she noticed we had been waiting too long, which was good to follow this up. The food was brought out and we didn't receive an apology for our longer than expected wait but we wasn't that fussed about that at all, we knew they were busy and I'm only mentioning this because of the attitude of the landlady. Our food was mostly really nice, my mushroom soup was home made and I really enjoyed it. Now I know it's only a bowl of chips but they were definitely cut really small or dog ends from the bottom of the bag or something, this made them really oily and would have gave me the shits. I politely told the landlady they were too small and oily, so she took them away and casually said. "Oh ok" as she walked off with them and presumably chucked them in the bin. Didn't come near us again to offer an apology, refund, new chips of a normal size and edible or anything. It was clear in her opinion they were acceptable being the size of the dog end at the bottom of the bag and wanted to get away with having to refund us and admit they were mingin. We were polite and didn't make a fuss or complain any further. It seemed like the old bat was too long in the tooth to be reasonable and had taken from us, not a lot of money but still annoying to be treated like that. Especially as we had previously spoken to her she seemed friendly enough. Really disappointing and we wont be back.

The food, staff and pub was amazing, really nice. Would definitely be going again

Lovely food staff very friendly nice Sunday lunch

Lovely food. Couldn't recommend enough.

Great place with the best food around highly recommended

We had a lovely meal here after a walk around the reservoir. The food is delicious and the staff are so friendly. We will definitely be back again soon.

Great pub food & definitely more than we could manage to eat. Staff and their service was amazing, couldn't ask for anymore. Thank you for a pleasant meal.

Great food. Well cooked. Decent prices. Lovey quaint setting. It's just good all round food and drink with excellent service.

Lovely old fashioned pub with proper food

Sunday lunch was what you used to get, good veg, good potatoes and fabulous beef (although sprouts are not wanted) 😜

Great little pub for home cooked food.

Tucked away, fantastic food and very reasonable price wise, staff very warm and friendly. Has become a firm favourite for us.

Great little pub proper home cooked meals. Plenty of outdoor seating and good sized car park. Reasonable prices

Fantastic place great food great all round

Fabulous food lovely polite staff reasonable price definitely recommend

Great proper pub, with a traditional but very very tasty menu. The BBQ ribs were on point. Steak great. Chips brilliant. Peas equally brilliant.

I had the chicken tikka masala. It was very nice but didn't need chips with the rice

Amazing food with generous portions & staff very friendly, would highly recommend

I found The Bull on a Facebook group. They were very welcoming. I had a meal and a drink, which were both very good. They let me leave my camper van in their car park overnight so I could get my head down. They even let me in to use the facilities first thing in the morning, and made me a much needed hot cup of tea. If your passing pop in you won't be disappointed.

Food was great, chips were amazing. Service was excellent. Will definitely be going again 😊

Real nice food and plenty of it and nice service

Now ve known of this place for years eaten and ver ten years ago here and was passing so gave it a try . Food is just ok nothing amazing but thex prices are good for what you get . At a weatherspoons you can get a couple of pints a meal x2 for £30-£35 well for £40 I got the same here and one sweet dish but this food was very edible and it was a different class well worth the money. Excellent service by the young bar maid … not a busy place only three tables eating but was happy with what we got .. we will be back

Small cute cosy place just pooped in before a walk round the local reservoir, would definitely come back for food as looks decent priced..

We have not been here for around 10yrs and we aee deligjted to report that the food is still excellent. Dissappointed that the decor was pretty much the same possibly even the carpet

Country style pub great owners, food is nice and a homely feel to the place.

We had intended to catch the metro into Manchester but after some self inflicted delays we decided to go local instead. Being Sunday lunch we didn't have much confidence in finding anywhere local that 1. Had an interesting and satisfying ambience 2 had a good selection of food. The Blues Head at Ogden. We received a love warm welcome and then left to peruse the extensive menu. The staff were both friendly and efficient. The food was of a good standard and enjoyed a

Cheese and onion pie and chips,yum yum.

Lovely place and fabulous food. Highly recommended

These kind of pubs are slowly disappearing and being replaced by non traditional bars that serve up microwave cooking. On my visit I ordered a steak that was cooked to perfection, homemade onion rings and proper chips. Had a pint of traditional hand pulled pale ale which was pretty good to say I was in Lancashire 😁 Looking forward to my next visit soon. The Yorkshire Italian kitchen bloke 🇮🇹❤️🍕

A spot we visit a few times a year with the family. Have been going for over 20 years. Great food and friendly staff.

Fantastic food, great service. Perfect after little hike.

Proper good pub. Great homemade food, ample portions. Good atmosphere, decent pint

EATING FOOD HERE MORE THAN 35 YEARS STILL AS GOOD AS EVER

Great staff, very welcoming, excellent cheese and onion pie!

NIce quiet little pub great food

Visited as a group of tourists with young families. The team really looked after us, food was great value, and the kids loved the fish tanks! Proper traditional good old pub. I nearly had 5 puddings. Loved it!

Lovely traditional food best chips in the world

Absolutely fantastic place, with great food and great service. Went here for an 80th birthday party and every was brilliant and great value for money. Definitely recommend this place, I'll be going back!

Didn't have food so can't rate. Nice place.

This is a lovely place.Our meals were delicious and the service and atmosphere is great. Thank you Bulls Head. We will definitely be calling again.

Excellent little find. Great food, especially the pies, and helpful staff. Unfortunately portions are so big I couldn't eat dessert

Great place for a family with a dog and good food

Everything about this place is absolutely amazing, but especially the food. My boyfriends known about this place for ages but he’s only recently brought me here. The staff are extremely lovely, the food is always 12/10 and the atmosphere is just lovely.

Suet pudding!! THE best... Mmm 😋

Never had a bad meal here. Best fish and chips around. Chips are to die for mmm

Definitely favourite, food excellent, great atmosphere, quick service, generous portions, good value, landlady is a treasure, all the staff are great. Highly recommend. Had a few birthday celebrations here couldn't fault it.

Hearty home cooked food at reasonable prices.

Went Tuesday night ..food was excellent ..beautiful chips ..service great .lovely pub Then stopped for quiz which is great ..Good evening all round

Menu not correct. Does not say if chios and veg included with meals. NOT a rag pudding but a suet pudding in a glazed pot. Slow to present meal after ordering.

Great food. Good prices. Few items not available on specials board as sold out.

Superb place, great staff and fab location for after a walk. Shame they don't allow dogs inside!

Food isn't the best . Veg tasted water loged

Lovely food, friendly and cheery staff. Beautiful location. Love it here!

A lunchtime ramble and a stop off for food, lovely pub in a great spot , rag pudding to die for and a decent pint.. what's not to like?

We have been to bulls head a few times now and it never disappoints us the staff always so friendly the food and the service is always excellent 👌 I would definitely recommend this place.

Phenomenal 😁 absolutely fantastic food and service !! Will most certainly be back.

Only had drinks,but the food did look really scrumptious

The food was out of this world really lovely place

This was our first visit to the pub/restaurant in the lovely hamlet of Ogden. We enjoyed the walk up from Newhey in the early evening sunshine and we were not disappointed by our meal. The food is home cooked and delicious. The portions are very large. I had cheese and onion pie which was lovely and a very large piece which came with a large portion of home cooked chips and mushy peas (although there was choice of potatoes and veg sides). No room for dessert but the choice looked good and homely. Service was very good and the restaurant got quite busy for a midweek evening. We will definitely be back.

Homemade food with generous portions. (Rag pudding is delicious) Friendly staff. Great place .

Been coming here since the late 90's not been for a few years however I visted on 17/05/2023, It was as good as I remember great food,staff and the pub still retains lots character. Kind regards N J Holt

Nearly 8 quid for a double vodka lemonade

Good food, hearty portions and friendly staff.

Lovely pub and restaurant, we had the lunch (bar) menu, and not only was it very nice, it was also very reasonably priced too...👊

We had a buffet there for my husband funeral. It was excellent. They made us feel relaxed and comfortable. The service was excellent. Would recommend them.

The best chips anywhere, real home cooked, none of this frozen rubbish. The rest of the food is amazing too, all homemade

Awesome place for a post walk beer after walking Ogden/Piethorn

Lovely local pub. High quality food and good prices. Well worth a visit. Recommend the steaks and homemade pies.

I've seen them cooking chips at 10am, doesn't open until 12ish. I am no chef, but that doesn't seem right to me.

Proper pub, great food and drink in a lovely location.

Lovely, traditional pub. Probably the best chips we've ever had! And throughly enjoyed all our meals. Would recommend and definitely visit again if ever back in the area.

I'm kinda disappointed tonight normally love this house pub for food normally spot on. But the food wasn't at its best for what we paid not even a offer to have something different and still paid the full price for the food that wasn't even touched. The food wasn't nice and even matched what it should of tasted like. I found it rude to not even ask if I wanted anything different and to still make us pay for the full amount ...

Wow cheese and onion pie 👌and chips like my mum used to make as a child

Love this gem of a place . staff lovely . Food lovely . Ambiance lovely .... try this place .

OK for the home made stuff ! Nice staff !

Food was excellent 👌 staff were very helpful 👍 and I would recommend 👌 a visit

Great staff great food what more can I say

We (a group of 6) had a lovely meal at this pub. They cater for vegetarians too. The staff was great. Definitely recommend this place.

Lovely old pub. Very reasonable prices. Great landlady!. Very nice traditional pub grub.

Had a great meal friendly staff would definitely recommend

Very polite staff clean and well presented public house had sandwiches fresh and a good selection looks to have a really good menu well worth a visit

Good food staff just brilliant best staff seen in a long time Vicki Tracey and Co make you so welcome

Superb and well priced food in a quiet and unspoilt pub. Nice walks around the nearby reservoirs.
