First of all, the food and service was excellent. We felt very accommodated as pub was full and made us feel very welcome. They have a great park for children In the Beer garden. And we definitely recommend and will come again next year. Thank You

Bullshead is a lovely place, went with the family, food was outstanding, Sharon & ian Really put their Souls into the place, had a lovely time, Definitely going back, Big thanks to All Ian & Poll

I went here last night with a friend who lives just down the road, what a great proper English pub. Spent most of the evening chatting with Jay the landlord (I think), what a top bloke with some interesting stories about the place. It'd definitely be my local if I didn't live 600 miles away in Orkney.

Staff friendly & helpful . Good varied menu. Gentleman taking the food order very informative for what I could have which was glutten free. Starters where £6.50 main courses where £15 but you could chose a smaller portion for £10. The £15 main courses where large plates of food & the food was excellent.

We had a lovely evening meal, we ordered chicken and bacon salad, fish and chips, and the lasagna. The food was nice and hot, good portions, the garlic bread was very nice with the lasagna, and the fish was large and good peice with very nice batter. The Chicken and bacon salad was great, it had nice selection of salad, good portions of meat, bread roll and the sauce in a little jug. Definitely recommend the Bear town tap larger. Nice atmosphere and lovely staff too

Just been for lunch with my sister in laws and the meal and service were top notch. I had the roast beef dinner and the beef was melt in the mouth, my sister in law had the fish and chips and she said it was lovely. Will definitely go again.

Having been let down last minute at a nearby pub, we rang the bulls head and asked if there was any chance they could fit 18 people in for a 60th wedding anniversary in ten minutes time, as we were around the corner. The staff were completely unfazed by this and welcomed us with open arms, the food was lovely and the service was absolutely brilliant. We cannot thankyou enough for accommodating us at such short notice and turning a disaster into a brilliant night, well done.

We had our football presentation here because of the large open space for the kids to play. There was around 50 of us and we all ordered lunch (pre-order). The food was lovely and came out family by family which was great. They couldn’t do enough for us. They opened early to let us set up, set up goals for the kids to play and were forever checking if they could do anything. Will definitely hold further presentations here.

Wonderful mid-afternoon lunch on a Sunday. One of the best pints of Guinness I've had for along time. My wife enjoyed her glass of wine as well. For our main meal we chose sirloin steak, which at £24 each wasn't cheap, served on a hot plate, so the chips, mushrooms and onion rings remained hot until our meals were finished. Other landlords from our usual haunts should come here and see, taste and feel what a proper pint of Guinness is like, also how much nicer it is when the meal remains hot by simply heating up the plate. The Bull's Head is not cheap, but the quality of the food and drinks is second to none, even when it is busy. Yes we will come again, thoroughly recommended

This pub is well worth a visit .The food is always fresh hot and lovely If you are going near by try it you won't be disappointed

Our final stop on our holiday. Wish we hadn't made it. Burnt food, less than welcoming atmosphere from the staff, despite there being practically no one there. My husband's paté, he was pretty sure was off. My steak pie was so burnt and in no way fresh. The meat was burnt, the pastry was so hard it was impossible to eat. And surprisingly, on reflection, I had to pay when I ordered. Flat Coke. The only reason it gets any stars is because my kids loved the fact there was a play park. There seemed little point in complaining to the staff. With practically no customers, there's no way the quality (or lack thereof) of the food could have been an oversight. Avoid.

Food is good, service and whole ora of the pub not the best. The staff seem very miserable. The children’s meals were great and the gammon was delicious.

We have been eating regularly at the Bull's Head since after the lock-down eased. We have eaten most of the dishes offered and never been disappointed. Half portions are also available for those of us whose cannot cope with the very generous portions. Specially recommend the slow roasted pork.

My partner and I visited The Bulls Head for a Valentine’s Day meal having never been before and wanting to try somewhere new. The place itself is beautiful, full of character and very well maintained. The food we had was also very nice - good quality and decent portion sizes, not a very long wait and lovely staff. Our only criticism is that, seeing as it was Valentine’s Day, we felt that a little bit of decoration in the eating area would’ve gone a long way in setting a more romantic, date-night feel (even maybe just a candle on the table). It is a small critique for an otherwise faultless visit. Needless to say we would likely visit again, and would recommend it to others. :)

We've been going there for quite a few years. Never been disappointed with the food quality and drinks, Fast service, and food is hot.Highly recommended to people who want something a bit different . Very warm reception. Will definitely carry on going

Visited yesterday, my wife (Jan) had Somerset Pork piping hot plenty of vegetables plus chips. I fancied something different and had the ploughman’s lunch, although it wasn’t on the menu they accommodated my request and put one together for me. Three types of cheese plus three slices of ham and plenty of salad, cloleslaw and pickles. Will definitely be back.

The Bulls head is a large pub with a big car park. Three real ales were available as well as lagers ciders and the usual wines and spirits. The menu was traditional and the food was reasonably priced and of good quality. I would recommend a visit if your are in the area.

Ordered garlic bread which was £5 it came as 4 small pieces of French stick (like the sort you buy in a baguette for £1 odd) complete rip off! Then the scampi and onion rings were burnt and like they'd been cooked in old oil...

What a cosy & welcoming pub! In the middle of all the current restrictions - here is a pub with warming open fires, a welcoming smile, great service & delicious food. The Monday & Wednesday half price menu is great value & I thoroughly recommend.

We would recommend this pub to anyone Friendly staff lovely food fast service piping hot food reasonable prices Well worth a visit.

Seemed quiet on entering but got busier.Its huge inside and has a lovely little beer garden off the conservatory.Lovely as we could listen to the rain.Great value for money.Good portions.Pleasant staff.Thankyou.

Excellent service really good food at reasonable prices. Very well laid out seating arrangement. Would recommend for a friendly place to eat.

The service alone was 5 stars, a lovely young waiter was very polite and had learned the craftmanship or waiting, I shall be recruiting him in the near future!

Had a lovely lunch here today after a trip to nearby Rode Hall to see the snowdrops. Excellent pints of Estrella (my daughter used to be a barmaid so is very fussy about her pint) and very generous portions of food at a very reasonable...

I visit the BH regularly with my parents. Always great ale and good food. Never had a bad meal and the prices are very reasonable.

Firstly, for those wanting to dine in an olde world pub, then this is a good example, yes, the place needs a bit of TLC, but the food we experienced was well cooked, tasty and plentiful and not overpriced. Good choice of beers too. We...

Not been in this place for around 20 years, and probably be another 20 before we go again. Waited ages for the food to come even though there were only a few covers. My scampi was seriously hot, that I couldn't eat it for ages....

After a day @ Tatton Park RHS Show decided the get some food instead of cooking when we got home so called in. Banter with a local and bar staff was BRIL. Meals were piping hot. Two of us had the large Yorkshire pud with...

Stopped here for a late Saturday lunch. The place was almost empty, but we found very comfortable seating in the conservatory, and enjoyed two very well cooked and presented meals. No complaints at all. Agree with previous reviews that perhaps the landlady could possibly be...

Been here before, Service slow, ordered two soups of the day and fries.. took ages to come and the place was half empty. The woman who took my order at the bar had no personality, I paid half cash half card, I didn't get shown...

I've been here a few times, the welcome has always been mediocre but the last visit is the last time I will ever go. The landlady looks like she is chewing a wasp and was down right rude. There are ways of speaking to people...

Visit regularly as never been disappointed. Food freshly prepared, great menu choice and staff very welcoming. Will continue to visit without a doubt - gem of a pub

The tables were sticky, the food was definitely not worth the wait and Landlady looks like someone’s given her a slap very run down would not recommend

Great food, great beer especially the cider and great staff!. Come here many many times and never disappointed. Highly recommend the belly pork and addlestones cider to wash it down!. Ps. Try get a seat by the fire :)

We haven't been in for a while,nice old worldly pub with old pub decor.

Proper old fashioned country pub, great real ales and cider. Decent home cooked food, and friendly staff. Spot on

We have had a number of meals here, all cooked to a high quality. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble. The décor of the pub gives it a homely atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

We always used to meet our family here as it is a halfway point between our homes.....my husband and I called on our way back from dropping our grandson off. We wished we hadn't, the food was ok, but looking round, we started to notice how ''mucky'' the whole place was, Strange, but as another writer had pointed out, my husband was shocked at all the paperwork lying about on tables. I noticed the window frames were filthy [inside] and a visit to the loo proved to be ''not nice'', there was a cupboard seemingly held together with sellotape....awful. The staff are morose to say the least....there is a lady that works behind the bar and also delivers food to the table.....I'm sure she must have smiled at some point in her life.

Used the app Around Me to find this place. Walked in was very very quiet. No hello etc from staff on arrival. Gentleman behind the bar seemed a little impatient with us making our minds up with drinks but seemed polite enough! Decided to stay as we had been driving round for a while. When going back to the bar there was a very solemn lady serving again no hello. Polite greeting seen only to be towards the locals. Ordered the food which took a while which I didn't mind as being a little in the sticks and the whole area reeling of manure was under the assumption I'd be receiving a fresh home cooked meal. This was not so, I ordered steak pie which came as a slice on a plate FULL of veg and a separate portion of chips and gravy! Took me a while to arrange it so it was all on the same plate. Pastry on the pie wasn't very nice but was packed with steak. Fresh veg and very crispy frozen chips. I didn't eat much as I was a bit over faced. Would not return but then I'm not from the area so we wouldn't anyway.

lovely place to go for your Sunday meals as a family or lovely to sit and have a drink after work with friends.

Stopped here on the way to our narrowboat and had a very good lunch and a couple of pints of well kept beer.

Fuimos como ha sido meses desde que han sido ya que está fuera del camino para nosotros, así que es más de un coche. Estaba tranquilo a pocos mesas estaban allí cuando llegamos. Tuve el 8 oz sobresaliente con huevo y mi madre había queso y cebolla flan, me alegro de no tener el 16 oz sobresaliente la porción eran enormes, tuvimos que llevar la mitad de casa con nosotros fue tan grande.

Decoración muy anticuada. Necesita un buen orden. Mesas con papeles sembrados de propietarios y en general cosas de desorden por todas partes. Polvo viejo marchito flores secas necesidad viene de la pared y agrupamiento. Volver bar está sin usar y desordenada con arranque coche chucherías....

Comimos en la cabeza los toros hoy, y como de costumbre no nos decepcionó. Estupendas comidas. El personal es muy acogedor y agradable. Esperando en el personal son encantadores. La comida era abundante y caliente trajo. Un montón de verduras frescas y la carne cortada...

Comida el Día de la madre, reservado: Si quieres cocidas, sobras congeladas para una salsa de gelatina en su torta de carne (que comprende cortes de carne baratos), este es el lugar para ti. Además, si te gusta esperando una hora y 15 minutos para...

My Father-in-law suggested taking myself and my wife out for Sunday lunch as I was my 65th Birthday, he suggested The Bulls Head.we have passed The Bulls Head hundreds of times over the years but we have never called in so it was a nice treat for us.what a great place, very welcoming and old world charm.the staff were very pleasant and we eventually decided on our meals,My Father-in-law ordered the Tuna steak, my wife ordered mango chicken, and I ordered pork in a mustard and cream sauce.when the tuna steak arrived we were all gobsmacked, what a tuna steak, massive and he said it was amazing, as were my pork and my wife's chicken dish.afterwards, I had a home made malteezer cheesecake and mt Father-in-law had a ginger sponge pudding, again what generous portions and extremely tasty.my thanks to all the staff and we will definitely not drive past in the future.Mr.D.C.Williams.

We have frequented the Bulls Head for a couple of years now. We mainly go to meet friends and sample the beer. They always have three guest beers on, always different and in all the time we have gone there, we have never have had a bad pint. The beer is also very competitively priced. The staff are very friendly and obliging. From time to time we have eaten there and the meals have been fine - typical wholesome pub fare. Again, we have never been disappointed.I am often surprised how quiet the place can be some nights when everything you would want from a country pub is there. Now and again they host a local music society who play in an adjacent room. You can hear them but it is not intrusive. Again this adds to the ambience.Don't change anything.

Old traditional pub, a little dated and could do with a bit of tlc here and there but nice country pub atmosphere, we sat on a table for two in a corner window seat, nice spot and atmosphere was relaxed and not too noisy which I hate. The food was delicious and well presented. Had starters of potato skins loaded with cheese and bacon with side salad, pate with garnish, cranberry and toast. Meat & potato pie with puff pastry, veg, chips and Smallwood sausages and mash served with veg all very tasty. Gravy was yum. Although bursting after good sized portions, we went for desserts! Recommend sticky toffee pud and homemade rum & raisin cheesecake, nice cup of coffee finished our meal, all served by a very pleasant young man and lady. The place was packed soon after our arrival at 1pm, so recommend reserving a table.

Called on spec early on a Saturday evening, the place was dead although many tables had been Reserved for later. Had Minestrone soup which was very nice. Unfortunately the Sirlion Steak was bland and tasteless, the fries were dry and frazzled and the pepper sauce tasted like French mustard. The steak and pepper sauce came to £22 which was very overpriced for poor quality food.The place could do with a tidy up and a shot of atmosphere.Will not be returning...

Popped in for lunch had an excellent meal salad garnish out of this world grapes strawberries coleslaw plough mans must have contained a kg of fab cheese.Check out their Friday wine deal it's a steal.Pub could do with a spring clean if cleaner would have got ***** and once fires lit you would never want to leave

Roadside pub has plenty of parking spaces and accomodates disabilities.Table for 8 of us on our way home from hols. Very accomodating placed us altogether , very friendly team, good selection of foods to choose, great little waitress happy and pleasant, even with the family we all were served together and very quickly.

Looking for somewhere to lunch we happened on this roadside pub. 3 of us ate here. The tomato soup was tasteless and thin. Hake in spicy tomato sauce was way overcooked and dry and the sauce was simply a tin of tomatoes poured over. Veg lasagnelasagne was a MASS of cheese with pulped veg and burned pasta. We complained and were not offered a reduction. The staff didn't seem concerned and asked how our meal was out of habit. They were a little shocked when we let them know. It has got to be said though, I had a very good pint of Three Tuns, Rantipole. PLEASE don't waste your money eating here. Just have a pint.

Mother and I called here for Lunch and we both had the Roast lamb of the specials board. It was cooked to perfection and so tender you could cut the lamb with a spoon. We did not have to wait long and food was piping hot. We did not have a hot desert but some of the snugbury's ice cream they serve. We will call again as it is such a nice friendly pub staff are so helpful

We decided to stay close to home for our Father's Day lunch out this year. There are 9 adults, 4 children, one of which has learning difficulties and can be quiet unpredictable. We were seated in the front conservatory, so the children could go into the garden and as it was quiet in there. Drinks were served on arrival, and food orders taken quickly. Food was served within 20 minutes, piping hot, plentiful and tasty...places cleared quickly, and pud menu left, the puddings were lovely. Really can't fault it, service, food are excellent and we will be back soon for a birthday treat.

We visited for a family birthday on Saturday 4th June. We had booked tables in a small airy room at the back of the pub. We had this room to ourselves which was really nice. We ordered starters and mains, there was plenty of choice off two menus plus a specials board. We were made to feel extremely welcome by Sharon, Ian and the rest of the staff. The food came out well presented, fresh, hot and plentiful. Considering we all pretty much ordered something different there wasn't a long wait for the food. The meat dishes were fabulous. Beautiful cuts of meat and no "nasty" bits anywhere. The seafood platters looked spectacular, so much choice. Waiting on staff were extremely helpful and polite. Thankyou Sharon,Ian and staff for a very enjoyable evening. You never let us down x

Arrived just after 2p.m. on a Friday afternoon. Two meat and potato pies and a lasagne later we were all satisfied with simple straightforward food, well cooked and - most important of all - very hot on hot plates. Barman and chef both pleasant and efficient, no grumpy woman about (as mentioned in earlier reviews)! Just about accessible for a wheelchair, no steps just a small patch of rough surface at the entrance, needs attention.

We were with family, the pub itself is very traditional with low ceilings, its ok. the staff were very nice, I had the cheesy garlic bread to start which was divine, followed by the steak and ale pie which was also lovely, good selection of chips and veg to go with it. Would go again.

Four of us arrived one evening and were shown to a table that looked as though it hadn't been cleaned for some time. I don't know if it was the landlady or waitress, but she was incredibly miserable and grumpy. After placing the order I had a walk around the pub and thought it was quite grubby and needed a good cleaning. The area at the rear of the bar looked like a junk yard. Dead flowers were in vases around the pub. The food was acceptable for pub food, but nothing outstanding. Only when I paid the bill and left a generous tip did I see a smile from the lady that took our order. Probably won't return, which is a shame because I dine a lot in this area.

We went out for tea, quite pub, we had 2x meals and puds could not complain, friendly staff, good service, yes we would go back

I tried this place one Saturday evening. The waiter was great, but there was a lack of choice of beers, and my food wasn't great.It was supposed to be chicken on a pizza style base, but it was so hard i couldn't cut through it!The dessert was ok but nothing amazing, also each course took quite a while and one ordered drink never arrived.All in all.....not great.

We had a lovely meal, enjoyed the great atmosphere, warm cosy fires and great local ales - they even have a library!. Cannot wait to visit again, toilets clean and fresh. If you want someone to do a song and dance while serving you go to a cabaret lounge this is a great country pub, great value - Thank you

Went with what was supposed to be a group of 15 but sadly only 9 turned up.When we got there they had split us over 3 tables rather than putting us all together. They were helpful to rearrange and very laid back about it.The food was average pub food (most of us had the Christmas menu). We were told the Christmas decorations would still be up but sadly they weren't.The service was fairly good. Te dishes all came with an odd side salad with rice, lettuce, grated carrot, potato salad, etc. Just a bit of an odd mix and not great tasting together. I had sea bass which came with a herb butter, but on tipping it out the pot it was served in it was frozen and therefore cooled my food quickly, despite being initially on a hot plate. Yorkshires were crunchy and not home-made. Overall we had a good time, and were well looked after, but the food was average and nothing special.

Went here on Boxing Day 2015 Don't think I'll be coming back in a big hurry. The lady taking the food orders was as miserable as sin. And was on the previous occasion as we'll My food was awful. Steak and kidney pie. And chips and veg. The veg was all soggy. Straight out of boiling water I guessThe steak and kidney pudding was all soggy and jellified gravy The desert was CHRISTMAS pudding and custard pudding very firm not nice at all. No repeat visit here I guess. They really need to get their act together It's a 2 star out of 5 for me I'm afraid

Enjoyed a nice evening with gym buddie friends, good healthy'ish value meal, great location in centre of Sandbach.

We really enjoy our time spent at The Bulls Head. The staff are welcoming and cannot do enough for you. We always find the food to be fresh and with plenty of choice on the menu and specials board. The steak and ale pie takes some beating, excellent quality meat and gorgeous gravy. The fires in the bar and restaurant are a treat in the colder months, makes it cosy!

Really disappointed with our late lunch here... Poor quality food, food took 35 minutes to arrange despite hardly any other diners, served slice of orange with fish and chips, would not dine there again.

We went a few weeks ago with friends and had an enjoyable meal. The food is typical pub food but well cooked. It was a lunch time and sadly not very busy. The pub could do with a little tlc and the car park needs resurfacing. I nearly turned my ankle near the entrance.

Called in for a quick lunch with the family. I had a roast beef sandwich and chips, sandwich was nice, chips were of adverage standard and I'm presuming the family enjoyed their meal as there was no complaints and their plates ended up empty. Standard good pub food.

Called in after 2hr drive from Leicester to look at houses in Cranage. Sandwich and a half of ale. Beer excellent condition. BLT sandwich and salad was tasty but took a while to arrive (about 15 min) though this does mean it was freshly made. Bread disappointing in that it was straight from a mass produced sliced loaf. One would wish for something better. Other diners seemed happy with the basic pub food and I guess this is what to expect from this Inn.Gents loo clean but needs modernising!The pub is in the village of Smallwood and certainly not in the centre of Sandbach.

We had a great Meal last night with good friends, very reasonable prices for such lovely food, friendly staff, all family run, very cosy and clean, a place where you can chat and chill out. Great play area for the children to play.great car parking.

We arrived at 7pm on a Friday evening with another couple. We had tried to eat at another pub but is was completely full. On the other hand the Bulls Head was fairly empty. The landlady behind the bar was not the friendly soul. We chose the conservatory to sit was very pleasant. The prices on the menu were surprising. The basic pub dishes e.g. pie or fish were cheaper than average but the steaks were not.The starters took a while to come and were not very good. It was surprising that all salads came with melon. Not seen that before. The main courses were poor, The steak was tasteless and the seafood platter was something Iceland would not be proud of.I asked for a glass of Merlot and was persuaded to purchase a bottle. This was a blunder as the wine was possibly the worst I have tasted. The majority of the bottle was taken home to be used in cooking.Overall a poor night and it is not a pub we would use again.

Came here for mum and dads wedding anniversary meal, ordered from the 3 course for £12 or whatever it was menu, after asking and waiting over 40 mins the starters arrived. The table next to us came after us ordered their food, ate and sat ten mins before our starters came. We then had to chase up the mains. In the end we left and went to another pub further up. Absolutely terrible service

Drive past this pub almost daily but never been in until today. Very friendly service and really nice food at a good price. Also a good playground for my son. Will definitely be back.

Well, i suppose you get what you pay for....This pub is tired and needs a lot of updating, with the right owners I think this place could be fantastic, but unfortunately it is currently stuck in the dark ages.We went here for a family lunch last Sunday, the food isn't very good, but isn't awful and is fairly priced and the waiter service is terrible and doesn't come with a smile.But to be fair, they aren't pretending to be anything special and they are not, you get exactly what it says on the tin!

Have been here before, standard pub food, but not somewhere you would take anyone to impress them! To be fair the meal I had, gammon steak with chips and salad was very acceptable, although I have been before and been astounded by the poor, overly cooked, frozen food. I wouldn't really choose to go here for a meal, but the others I went with wanted to go. In agreement with previous reviewers, the landlady IS very miserable. You begin to wonder if you have done something wrong on your entry into the pub!! Basic pub grub, interior could do with a spruce up.

We had a lovely meal, service was fast and very pleasant, the menu is the normal pub type food with plenty on the specials board. I was very happy to see the quality food was brilliant and large portions to match. Can honestly say one of the nicest meals I've had in the area.

I have visited here many times with and without my family. The staff have always been very gracious and catered for demanding children and pregnant women. The food is absolutely gorgeous every time and are enjoyed in a relaxed and homely atmosphere. The outside area is great for kids to run around in and not once have they complained that the park is small. It is buy clearly containers everything the children wish for.

I am a regular visitor and can honestly say that I have never been disappointed . The menu is varied and would find it hard to believe that you couldn't find enough on there to tantalise your taste buds...but if you were struggling, just take a look at the specials board, it changes on a regular basis. Sometimes you have to wait a bit longer than others depending on how busy it is, but if you want fast food, rather than quality food.... go to macdonalds....and while you wait,there are plenty of nice wines and great ales to choose from. They also have regular accoustic evenings which are relaxed and fun whether you are there to play or listen.Have a look at there facebook page for dates.

We've been dining here for many years and have never been disappointed. The food is delicious and home cooked and there is always something very tempting on the specials board. The sweets are all good too even though I opt for a glass of wine while the other members of my family are eating ice cream! We look forward to every visit, well done bulls head team see you again soon.

I don't like leaving poor reviews, they say if you've nothing nice to say then say nothing at all! But I felt let down and think that any honest feedback is good feedback. I've been to the pub before and had good meals, but last Sunday I visited and had a Mixed Grill (19.95) and My Girlfriend had Steak and Ale Pie (I think it was £9.95).I asked if I could swap the Mushrooms and Black Pudding on the meal for some Onion RIngs, which was duly accepted (There was no mention of Onion rings on the board in Mixed Grill). On receipt of the food I had Onion rings on my plate... great stuff. Then a minute later an extra portion of Onion rings was brought on a side dish. The lady said that it came with Onion rings, and I had ordered an extra portion, I showed her that I hadn't, because it wasn't on the board, and she said I might as well have them anyway. I didn't want or eat them. The meat was very poor quality, with the steak and Gammon very similar colours and it was very greasy. I would have thought they'd been microwaved, then not finished under the grill. The sausages were Chip Shop sausages, which when your paying £20 is unacceptable in my opinion, The Lamb Chop was nice. Onion rings were also good. Kathryn's Pie was nice, with a good portion of veg and chips. The Puff pastry lid was nice, and the meat tasty with a nice sauce and some good gravy. We approached the bar to pay, and we were told £35 (no Bill, just told!), Kathryn Paid and I asked for a receipt, to find we had been charged for 3 cokes (I'd only had 2) and also £1.95 for the extra Onion rings I neither ordered nor wanted. I couldn't be bothered to complain, We just walked out for the last time!

I'm sure a motorway cafe would have better food than here. Brie wedges with cranberry sauce and salad to start - wedges over cooked to the point of fresh air wrapped in bread crumbs, after complaining I was served a better portion, but they added more cranberry sauce so starter now resembled the appearance of soup. Mains consisted of chips (frozen powder form), gammon and pineapple (on a plate the size of a side dish) I also requested a well done egg which didn't arrive so I it requested again, and It was brought out on its own plate and under cooked, the salad came out in its own bowl, I did not attempt dessert. Presentation - zero, taste - zero, cost - extremely over priced. Will not be returning or recommending.

On approach to the pub, which is situated on a very fast, busy main road, it looks nice, traditional, with outdoor play area and plenty of parking. Once inside, it's quite dark, dismal and cold, nothing like the "warm and cosy" description on the website. As for the advertised warm welcome, no chance!! You certainly wont get that from the landlady, who clearly hasnt learned to smile or befriend her customers. Not at all friendly or welcoming. Would suggest that the landlady goes on a customer care training course on how to treat her punters with respect, and if nothing else, at least give us a pleasant smile, instead of a very negative, abrupt and miserable attitude. Clearly she doesnt enjoy her job which reflects in her poor customer service.

I had scampi, one friend had cod and chips and two friends had fish pie. Mine was very good and plenty of it. A comment about the fish pie was that it could have had more fish in it and didn't need a bread roll as there was plenty of potato there. Salad was nice. For desert the ice cream was delicious. A great idea was that you could try three different beers with a small glass of each one to see which one you liked best.

Never again. We have never been to a public house with such a miserable Landlady, honestly she never even cracked a smile to welcome you. We ordered steak pie and it arrived microwaved as the pastry was soft and gooey so we sent it back. When I went to pay at the bar the Landlady was really ill-mannered, I told her we had sent the meals back due to them being microwaved so i wanted to pay for the drinks.. She tutted then she muttered it was a best seller and no one had ever complained about it before so She was basically calling me a liar, insinuating that we were fussy or troublemakers. What happened to customer is right? Not in that place. One plus point...The young waiter guy was lovely, happy and smiling, how he puts up with that atmosphere is beyond me. We will never go there again but then again we were never welcome in the first place.

We came here for our wedding dinner on a Saturday. The location was perfect, and so was where we were seated as we were seated in the conservatory part, which was light with the windows. The only hitch was that the tables weren't put together but after a talk at the bar th tables were arranged for us how we'd like. We had a three-course menu made for us, which had good options on. The fishcake starter was lovely with some very tasty tartare and salad. The mango chicken with rice main was something I'd never had before but fully enjoyed it. And for afters, a yummy fudge cake to fill the hole. My experience was good, though the rest of my family (who went for pate/melon starters & roast dinner/gammon mains) had a poor experience with food. Overall though my view was that it was nice with friendly waitresses.

I went here with a party of 4 on a busy Saturday evening. We arrived and were seat promptly with drinks. The menu had somthing for everybody. I went for the pate to start and then the chicken curry for main and both were very nice. The staff were very helpful and polite. Then for dessert I had a choclate lumpy bumpy with cream which was out of this world. The building was very lovely with a big open fair place and log burners throughout. I would highly recommend this pub to all friends and family. We shall be returning very soon to this lovely pub.

Regular diners at the Bulls Head - been going there for several years. Yet to be disappointed with the quality of the food and drink after many many visits. Highly recommended to those who wish to venture somewhere different - in winter its warm fires, warm reception and family run business atmosphere.

I have been here twice over the last couple of months and my advice is drive past and go the Legs of man that is just a couple of miles up the road.The prices thay charge you would expect the quality to be better, 1st visit had garlic beef and that can only be described as cheap poor quality frying steak coverd in a thick gloopy instant gravey thats tasteless.2nd visit had seafood platter, that could only be described as the cheapest supermart scampi, fish cake ect. Nothing fresh about it your local chip shop would be better quality.service not great as a few mins delay, 2 meals arrived then about 5 mins untill the other 2 peoples food arived.Dont bother complaining either as the landlady just gives you dirty looks and is quite rude.

A nice place for a week day lunch, but not for a special occasion. The service was prompt, but the food a little bland

I'm being objective in giving 3* because we go here quite a bit. Steady pub food, mains less than a tenner. Nice salad. 3 rotating real ales. Almost always at least one fire. We like the space - usually somewhere to lose yourself in 2 conservatories and a huge garden.

The attitude of the staff was awful. Really odd saying as how little trade they get these days. Used to be a busy place until the Chef who thought he was Gordon Ramsay was given too much say. In my opinion this is one to drive past these days unless you have a desire to be ignored or insulted by staff.

Good basic food, a tad over priced. Great open fire in winter.

This isn't your two meals for a tenner pub but more quality at a price. Nice ales. Bit disapointed about the staff but had a nice evening with the Wife.

This pub is simply terrible, we arrived to eat on a sunday and ordered drinks from the very miserable landlady, we ordered 3 chicken roast dinners that when came looked and tasted liked a load of frozen tasteless vegetables with the peas taking up literally half the plate, with processed chicken breast frozen rolled and sliced, certainly not the freshly roasted fayre we were expecting having just paid nearly £10 a head. When we explained to the waitress that we were not happy, we were simply ignored, when we approached the "chef" and i do term that very loosely , we were told in a very abrupt manner that he didnt give refunds, even though we had left two whole meals. When i then explained that i would like a receipt as i would be taking it further, the landlady slapped £20 on the bar and told us "dont bother coming back" we were astonished to say the least and would advise anyone thinking of stopping here for a meal to drive past this place as fast as possible
