Qué lugar tan increíble. Visitado tarde 06 / 01 / 25 sin reserva, el equipo allí fue más allá para asegurarse de que pudiéramos tener una comida. No pudimos entrar en el restaurante, pero nos instalaron en la zona del bar, y NO NOS DECEPCIONÓ. La comida era literalmente para morirse, el tamaño de la porción era muy inesperado, era enorme y fresco! Nunca he visto tales porciones por el precio... la relación calidad-precio realmente no le hace justicia. Recomiendo reservar, sí, pero son extremadamente serviciales, pero todos el mismo libro. ¿Comería aquí otra vez... OH DIOS SÍ! Recomendaría este pub... un rotundo SÍ. Gracias al personal joven que estaba trabajando en nuestra visita, nos hizo sentir bienvenidos y realmente aprecio cómo más allá de que fue para nosotros. ¡El equipo directivo debería estar muy orgulloso de ti y de la forma en que los representaste! Muchas gracias a los chefs también. Tres platos diferentes pero fantásticos nos fueron proporcionados y sabores de este mundo. Por favor, no cambies nada. Tienes un gran equipo y un gran menú y ahora te has convertido en el lugar que deseo volver a visitar una y otra vez

No es mi primera crítica de este excelente pub / restaurante, y si la calidad de las comidas continúa sin duda no es la última. La noche familiar (celebración de cumpleaños) cinco principales diferentes, ni una palabra de insatisfacción, solo elogios a la excelencia ~ cocinado a la perfección fue un comentario. Servicio sabio (el lugar estaba muy ocupado) el personal era amable su respuesta cuando reordenar bebidas era bueno, las comidas bien vale la pena esperar. Es necesario añadir aquí que es y nunca será un lugar de comida rápida .. si tienes hambre e impaciencia No visites. Los horarios de reserva de los restaurantes son escalonados, algo que hemos encontrado en otros lugares de comida importantes.

Fui con un amigo el 16 de septiembre a las 5. 15 pm para tomar una copa, llegamos a encontrar a la joven detrás de la barra sentada en un taburete en la parte trasera en lo que parecía su teléfono. Después de aproximadamente un minuto que intentamos llamar su atención ella finalmente miró hacia arriba y nos sirvió. Después de un tiempo decidimos comer algo. Mi amigo subió al bar por un menú. Ningún menú en la barra le pidió a la chica un menú solo para que se lo dijera a la otra chica que dijo en un minuto. No pasó nada así que fui al bar a preguntar. La chica estaba haciendo un café, así que le dije que después de haber servido el café podría tener un menú. Ella sirvió el café fue a la barra trasera y se quedó hablando con la otra chica durante unos 5 minutos mientras yo estaba allí mirándolas esperando. Pensé que tal vez necesitaban ajustar el menú tan pacientemente. La chica finalmente compró el menú sin cambios. ¿Por qué fue tan difícil darnos un menú? ¿Por qué el menú no era fácilmente accesible? No me extraña que nadie comiera. El menú era bastante bueno, pero después del terrible servicio que recibimos solo tratando de obtener el menú y el servicio inicial, nos preguntamos si tendríamos que esperar toda la noche para nuestro pedido, así que fuimos a Miller y Carter, donde recibimos un servicio maravilloso. No suelo escribir comentarios, pero no podía creer que en el clima actual, donde los pubs están cerrando por falta de clientes que los clientes que probablemente estarían gastando en el entorno de las £ 50. 00 fueron tratados tan mal.

1st time visit to a pub I’ve driven past many times. It was a lovely sunny afternoon so the beer garden was busy which gave the atmosphere a further boost. Food was good and arrived with a genuine smile and in a timely fashion despite how busy they were.

Visited for the first time and was generally delighted. Had a table booked for lunch which was ready when we arrived. Service did seem a little slow but they were very busy but there was no pressure to leave when we had finished. Good menu choice either snacks or a full meal. We settled for snacks which were very plentiful and tasty. Prices were reasonable too. Great choice of beers etc but as was driving unable to sample on this occasion. Will visit again.

The best food we have had in a long time! Just back from a spontaneous Friday night dinner with Hubby and 8 year old son. We booked for the Bistro at the start of dinner service (6pm). Even though we had only booked for two adults we were welcomed to a bigger table without any problem. Drinks were served promptly and we ordered Tuna Nicoise, Smash Wagu Burger with chunky chips and salad and Bangers and Mash with peas off the kid's menu. All the food was absolutely delicious, expertly cooked and great portion sizes. It's really hard to find such a good balanced pub menu with really fresh ingredients and cooked by chefs who obviously know how to cook! Hubby had a delicious Peach sundae served with a shot of Peach Schnapps and included with the kids meal (£6) came some good quality ice cream. I rarely write reviews but as this was such exceptional food I felt compelled to share! Service was attentive and friendly. Our meals with drinks cost less than £60. We will be back!

Took the parents in law for a joint birthday meal. We’ve been there a few times before but tonight’s meal was especially noteworthy. Everything was just perfect. Between us we had the Moules, smoked salmon and black pudding starters, all very tasty and well presented. For mains, three of us had the lamb, beautifully pink and tasted wonderful. One of us had the pork belly - loads of meat and you could cut it with a fork. Triple cooked chips that were crisp on the outside and soft on the inside and the largest mutant onion rings ever seen. All washed down with bottles of Shiraz and Bordeaux. Service was relaxed and pleasant. The ambience was nice without being intrusive. Best meal out I’ve had in years and bearing in mind this was nigh on Michelin class food, the bill was entirely reasonable in comparison to other meals I’ve had at nearby restaurants. Highly recommended.

We booked for Sunday lunch here last Sunday, having found this place two months ago and being really pleased to find a local cooking lovely fresh food and fabulous service, must say really disappointed now after our last visit. I can appreciate how busy they are in these strange times. The young staff work really hard but are kept very busy. Had an overall feeling the landlord wasn’t really bothered and quite abrupt but being there before the landlady was delightful and very helpful. Food wise - lamb was full of veins and carrots pinged off the plate as not cooked! The rest of the family had beef and nut roast and loved it apart from the carrots! Quite disappointed leaving this very honest review as we’ve loved it previously.

We were staying in the Premier Inn just up the road from The Bulls Head and the receptionist recommended it as a good place for us to eat. She was right. It was during the time when pubs were just starting to re open after lock down. The Bulls Head team were really friendly and professional and made us feel very safe. The pub was set up really well to keep customers socially distant. Our meals were great. My Chicken Ceasar salad was one of the best I have had in ages and my wife really enjoyed her fish pie. The kids were not disappointed by by their meals either. I would highly recommend The Bulls Head to any families looking for a great pub meal. We accidentally left our jumpers there and we spoke to the manager the next day and she was happy to send them back to us in Essex without even asking for the money for the post.

We have been to the Bull's Head for food before in week nights, and were very impressed with the quality. We were told that the Sunday roast was one of the best around, so we booked in. And you do need to book, as it is very popular!The pub itself is a lovely old building, and has plenty of parking. The staff are very welcoming, and they have a good selection of beers. The food is absolutely top drawer. Our party had 3 courses each, and they were all excellent. Between us, we had soup, salmon salad, chicken parfait, and the roast beef and lamb. Portion sizes are generous, and the gravy is to die for!!Dessert was just as impressive. The creme brulee was genuinely what you would expect to be served in a fancy restaurant.Overall, this was a fine-dining-type experience in an old, local pub. Cannot speak highly enough of it.

Visited The Bulls Head last Saturday before a visit to The Curve in Leicester. Thought it better to eat lunch at The Bulls Head outside of Leicester because of time scale and ahead of all the traffic in Leicester. Unfortunately I assume they were having staff problems as it took at least 20 mins to take drinks order and a long time for the drinks to arrive. The food order was the same. Such a long time to arrive.

We returned to the UK in Nov. last year and were regular visitors to the Bull's Head where we found good food and a warm welcome. Sadly after Xmas things went downhill fast, with I believe several changes in management.After one dismal meal and reading a few bad reviews we stopped going months ago. How things have changed. After seeing a few full car parks and good reviews we went back today. I had a superb rib-eye steak with herb butter, and fried onions to die for! OK, so we had to wait a long time for food to be freshly cooked, and the prices were a a little bit more than we would normally pay as pensionners, but it was well worth it. Going back again to try their Sunday lunch.

Think my plate says it all. Saved a bit of room for dessert . Then had to get home to get in more comfy clothing. I was stuffed . Ready to enjoy my Sunday afternoon nap . This is what Sundays are about .

Came in this afternoon for lunch with my partner in the restaurant area, was not even busy and waited for food for a long while and i also heard the boss in the kitchen speak to the waitressing in a unprofessional way! Could tell the staff was uncomfortable! Especially the young girl!

I've been here multiple times now and it is so good! The food is delicious, with a lot of things to choose from, and the service is very friendly. All in all a great afternoon / evening out.

Very friendly staff, peaceful surroundings, lovely outdoor play area for children, the fish pie was delicious and my husband enjoyed his wagyu burger, perfect in every way, reasonably priced for high quality home cooked food and great service

Visited mid week for our anniversary lunch and wish we had gone elsewhere. It soon became evident that this establishment had recently changed hands, service was slow; food was not very appetizing when presented; and the small portion of vegetables were 'warm'. We were offered the desert menu on a piece of scrap paper and informed that 'they hadn't got around to sorting a proper menu out yet', needless to say we didn't order any further food. We did convey some constructive feedback to the hosts, and were duly asked to return to 'see if they had improved'. It wont be for some time i'm afraid. If your not readily prepared to open for business, then don't open until you are !!

Just been for a late lunch, The staff were very friendly, but it was like watching Fawlty Towers. We ordered our food only to be told that it wasn't available, and we were offered a different meal at the price we had already paid, which was fair enough. The food was "ok" but I have had better and paid less. They don't have numbers on the tables so the staff were wondering around with plates of shouting if this was any bodies order, which was quite funny to watch... The Staff are trying really hard and are very pleasant, they seem to lack any sort of ordering system, and I feel all their problems would be solved by numbering the tables outside. The pub grounds are nice and the play area is good for the kids. With a bit of improvement with the front of house staff and an improvement in the kitchen this place would be great.

Dad & I stopped going here at the end of May. We had a poor Sunday roast, but overlooked it as our week day meals were still very good. After Chris left. It stared to go down. I encounted the then new manager Carol, who was really rude to me when we arrived for our Booked sunday lunch, this was the poor one mentioned above. she left then there was another who only seemed to last a couple of weeks. then the next one came. It was he who was doing the cooking - if you can call it that - the last time we went. I ordered the 'Kids' fish and chips which I have been having for about 3 years minimum, it is not that we want ceap meals I have a small appitite. The manager sent a message via the waitress that this would be the last time I could have the kids size. she explained I always had it, but he said he did not care. Well yes he was right. It was the last time I had it as we have not been since ! The batter was under cooked, chips not cooked properly either. dad had the normal size Fish & Chips and his was just the same. The manager looked scruffy in jeans and shirt, cooking without any apron or anything. I was very upset. I emailed Everards at the time to tell them about what was happening. Everards have ignored this. The blub on this about new management, join Chris etc is well out of date. They left in March 2019

Always a great meal, to be had here, they serve tapas if you are not too hungry, but my friend and I had the pork belly which just melted I. Your mouth, the apple sauce was a great compliment along with the vegetables. Really enjoyed this meal. Their wine selection was also worth a look. Dessert, I had the Earl Grey cake which was a chocolate infused cake, with cream on the side, not being one who always eats dessert, this was a really good ending to the meal, as it was just the right texture and sweetness for me. 10 out of 10 Leinster Bistro keep it up.

Lovely, atmospheric and historic pub. Staff were friendly. Sunchaser was off but replaced without fuss. Food was excellent. Burgers delicious and scampi generously portioned. Do need to employ a proofreader for the their Desserts Board though!

Look is more of haphazard collection of items not arranged in an aesthetic way. Cluttered. No much seating available. Food is ok. I ordered pav bhaji take away. A big mistake. Sour tasting bhaji which is unique in an unpleasant way. Iconic Mumbai vada pav had been reduced to a mediocre burger like item. They take only cash. I saw people leaving without buying food for this reason. Owners have to wake up to the modern way of business.
