The Bulls Head in Solihull - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Stopped of for lunch at the end of a walk -was pleasantly surprised. clean & welcoming. tables beautifully laid. staff on the ball. Great lunch menu- lots of choice - reasonably priced - was fresh & tasty. Lovely atmosphere too - will go back!

Great pub great food and great beer

This is a proper pub with proper food. Genuinely tasty, hearty, honest. The menue surpasses expectation and price point. Always leave feeling full, satisfied and having enjoyed some strong tastes. If you like gravy and top seller sausage and mash I honestly believe this can't be beaten locally, delishous Lashfords! Good atmosphere and connected to the village. Well satisfied! Great pub food done truly the best it can!

THE BEST ROASTS!! Unreal Sunday roasts and food in general is exceptional!! Cute country pub! This place should be heaving!!

My husband found this place on one of his bike rides and said he wanted to try it as it was dog friendly, we went on a Thursday, the food is amazing large portions hot and tasty, the staff are friendly and attentive, but it appears the customers are not, there were only 2 couples in there with us and the one had all ready spoke to us about our dogs saying she loved them, clearly the other couple weren’t they complained that my dogs should be on the floor not at the table they weren’t they were on the chairs witch I protected with coats as i had forgot the blankets I usually use, so used them, we are told to remove them as customers were complaining, your not dog friendly when you complain about them, and don’t help get customers when you listen to others especially as we had not been there before, and certainly won’t be going again, you don’t discuss my dogs who are well behaved and doing no harm when you have a miserable person in there, put them in the restaurant if there not happy, you need to rethink if you are allegedly dog friendly, you were doing so well until then 😡

Where shall I start. Lovely modern pub. But with a traditional cosy atmosphere. Staff were lovely. Very welcoming. Couldn't do enough. Went above and beyond. We ordered three lots of starters pick abd mix.we were on a small table. And because we gad so many plates we were asked if we'd like to move to a bigger table. I know hiw awkward it can be to do that especially as theyere busy. Food quality amazing. Could tell it was fresh my husband is kitchen manager in a local pub. And he was absolutely delighted. Nothing too much trouble for staff. They deaktxwith a complaint with sincerity and efficiency. But still the personal touch. We will definitely be back

We are fortunate that in this area we have many fine eateries, I had heard about this pub, but never visited it. Went after recommendation for Sunday Lunch, how right they were. Great service by the staff, enthusiastic, professional and very personable. We now come to the Sunday Roast, in my opinion this was the best I have come across for many years and establishments. Portions of great variety of vegetables, only surpassed by the meats, beef and lamb perfect. This is a great find for me and the price very reasonable.

Excellent lunch, Tasty food, good beer and friendly service.

Came here with my folks this evening, a wonderful cute country pub with lovely restaurant. The service and food absolutely fantastic. Made to feel so welcome and comfortable during our time here. As for the food could not fault it at all, we all loved our meals. You could tell the quality of the food and freshness. This was our first visit and most certainly won’t be the last. An absolute hidden gem of place.

Enjoyed a fabulous Sunday lunch to celebrate a family birthday. The food was excellent and we had service with a smile. The pub was extremely busy, being Father's Day but our experience was very enjoyable. Our large party had a great time and even had a gift of a bottle of beer each for the fathers in the party as a parting gift! Definitely recommending this venue.

Called in for lunch after going for a walk around Barston, nice clean pub, food was very good and the bar staff and waitress made us really welcome, we will definitely be using this pub again and may try it for an evening meal or even Sunday lunch

Popped in lunchtime with 2 friends!!! Wow!!! So impressed. Very warm welcome and incredibly friendly service. The food was amazing,absolutely blown away so will definitely be revisiting with my husband. I'm so glad my friend chose this as a place to eat,loved it!

Beautiful pub in a stunning setting

Very nice and small pub, has quite the homely feel to it. Pretty good food and excellent servive. Perfect for a sunny afternoon, sitting outside, drinking a cider, and scoffing down a sirloin steak.

My first visit and I must say completely disappointed, from start to finish. My brother took my mom mid week and raved about their meal, so rang and asked me if I fancied going for Sunday lunch. I must confess we love our food and brother is a bit of a master chef in the making, but we also eat out a lot, from pubs to restaurants, so for him to rave about it, I was really looking forward to this meal. First complaint was seating, on a bench seat up a corner and had to bend over table to eat, food just lodged in my chest, only really ideal for kids this seating. Second complaint next table arrived with a dog and was seated on my left side and they were feeding it, not what I want to see when I’m out. But maybe brother should have read it was pet friendly, should maybe be ok outside or bar, but not where food is or a part of restaurant is pet friendly. Third most of food was Luke warm or cold, I have to say I’ve had better at a toby carvery, except the meat was thicker slices, meats was warm, roasters reheated and rubbery, carrots, parnsips, swede all bits and all mixed together and not roasted and tasted boiled, but cold, the only part of meal hot was cauliflower cheese, the stuffing was like a bullet, I eat my meal because I was hungary and they always ask if everything ok before you really start your meal. Fourth I asked for water after my meal, because it was lodged in my chest, waited ages, my brother got up from table to go fetch which drinks was sitting in bar for ages and waitress said I’m coming now, I hadn’t forgot. When they cleared our table we did complaint, but was not interested in our comments, was not rude, just explained, but because of attitude, did not feel they took on board, we didn’t bother staying for desserts and coffee. But I must say started with a latte coffee and that was super. But for me if staying local visit The Little Owl down the road.

The food was very good and price. Good selection of ales. Staff very helpful.

Very friendly pub, lovely welcome from the bar staff and waitress. Excellent food and plenty of it at a very reasonable price. Beautiful decor Will definitely be back when we're in the area again.

Excellent ales and a welcoming atmosphere

This is a fantastic little pub, Not far from M42, A warickshire gem Great staff and awesome beers and wins The food is brillent Give it a go

Pub quiz was fun. Cozy interior and delicious roast

Had a great get together with family proper old charming pub

Great old pub. Full of Character. Food and service was great. Very friendly.

Excellent Sunday lunch, great home cooking

Excellent food and drink. Very dog friendly. Can get busy so best to book ahead.

Fantastic pub! Visited due to staying locally with work. Friendly welcome, great food and lovely warm pub! The open fire was a nice treat from the cold. I’d recommend!

Proper pub..Good beer. No nonsense.

Enjoyed an excellent meal here tonight, the salmon was delicious and I managed to squeeze in a beautifully presented cheesecake dessert. Friendly service and good value for money at this lovely country village pub.

Just had a most spectacular meal, great welcome from all staff, very dog friendly, very delicious food, gammon, lamb curry, tapas, salmon , all excellent and very well prepared and presented.

Honestly had the best pub meal ever, great welcome, spectacular food, curry, gammon. Tapas, salmon, all very well cooked, presented and priced, shame we live 285 miles away.

Lovely olde worlde pub, friendly staff, great selection of ales

Service excellent. Food lovely. Very helpful and attentive staff. Great atmosphere and very relaxing. A welcome break from a long walk

The Bull is great for a night out and regular visits. I generally visit for the excellent Real Ale but on the occasions I have eaten there the food was excellent. The staff also help to create the ambiance. Lovely to have a traditional pub with proper beer and good reasonably priced food, too many have gone foodie and bistroey.

First time at this pub, really enjoyed place went with 3 other people and they all enjoyed it.

We’ve tried this pub a couple of times when under different management. Never felt really comfortable as it had “this is a pub for local people” vibes. But, today, we were made to feel right at home by every single member of staff we came into contact with. And the Sunday roast was exceptional! My husband had the lamb and I had the vegan roast - both were great, as were the enormous portions of carrots, parsnips, leeks and cauliflower cheese that accompanied them. We finished off by sharing a delicious sticky toffee pudding and my husband thoroughly enjoyed his two beers too. Thanks all for a fantastic, great value-for-money lunch. We’ll definitely be back again soon.

Really tasty Sunday lunch. Great friendly service and dog friendly. Our first visit but won't be our last.

Really lovely pub. Food (3for£15) was fantastic and really enjoyed it.

A fantastic pub, with a great range of food - we tried some of the small plates. This tapas style was lovely, with well kept ales. Recommend for families and friends

A lovely pub, with fantastic food. The new chef really knows how to cook. Perfect

Vero PUB britannico, cibo molto ricercato e veramente da 10 e lode! Abbiamo anche dormito e fatto colazione, tutto in perfetto ordine.

Didn't eat here so can't comment on the restaurant. The bar is bijoux and friendly.

Great service from Joe earlier this week when we popped on for an early evening kick about in the Bull's huge garden/field! So great to have a good menu to work from - please bring back the cheese and meats boards! Fab food, friendly service, happy us!

Great Roast, friendly staff and great vibe! Will definitely be back

Curiously different menu. Enjoyed my chicken burger

Booked a table for 7+Polly (dog) no problem Children and dogs actively welcomed. Given a table in "the snug" very nice room. Great service brilliant food and great value, Plenty people in but no delays with service. Good location in a lovely village not far from midlands motorways. will definitely return

Lovely pub in a beautiful setting don't do sandwiches on a Sunday

The team at the Bulls Head, Barston were very welcoming and attentive. The food was very good value; the service was first class and I would highly recommend the restaruant to anyone.

Lovely local country pub which seems to be going back to what it was & it appears what people want excellence menu food was fabulous compliments to the chef Service was good friendly staff good atmosphere

Do go now as this place will be bankrupt by Christmas. Booked an air bnb down the road so we could fly from Birmingham, park the car in a side street, and avoid airport parking. Had dinner at the Bull, great value. All fresh ingredients. We were the only couple in. At these prices and this quality, it will not be in business in 6 months. Hope I'm wrong, but I'm not, numbers don't lie

Amazing food, quaint old school pub. Loved it

We have been in there 3 times in the last week,the new owners have been a breath of fresh air....its much improved keep up the good work guys

Came here years ago, but some really good changes to outside now. Welcome from Sean was warm and with a smile. Nice to have a good ‘banter’ stage ale I had was made in house and was light and summery. Set a tab ( unusual nowadays in most pubs) and sat outside in the warm sun. Again staff were helpful and jovial ( Jason) took our food order and my wife fancied a chicken and leek pie, he made sure he asked the kitchen staff. I myself had a gammon. Good portion all around. Definitely come back. Lovely surroundings and plenty of seating. They even surprised me with a little chocolate cake for my surprise birthday treat.

lovely pub, great food. I had the steak sandwich and fries, it was amazing i will definitely be returning again soon!

Lovely friendly place to go to.

Disappointed - closed until 6th June which was not disclosed on web site! Hopefully it will be better when it re-opens

Great pint, friendly staff and reasonably priced food. Gammon and chips was very nice.

Looked nice. Just spying our the land this time.

Had a lovely lunch today the chilli concarn was great , the other 2 had pies we all thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. Very friendly atmosphere and staff were so nice, the log fire was very welcome today aswell .Would recommend this pub and look forward to going back! Thank you so much to everyone there.

We all went for a lunch time meal the other week ,for a party of 5 . We all ordered the fish & chips with a lovely friendly girl ,who took our orders. All the food arrived on time and was served on hot plates, which many pubs we have visited in the past serve food on cold plates, so this was a bonus. The meals were all cooked to perfection. We had our meals in the bar with a roaring open log fire, which was nice as it was a cold day. The bar had a great welcome atmosphere. Overall we found all the staff very friendly. This is one of the best pubs we have been to and we all intend to revisit . Thanks again to all the staff and the manager who made our day.

Traditional English pub. Simple food but excellent quality and plenty on the plate

A decent selection of beer with very good food

Hi there only a matter of time at the red lion Shirley. I have been a regular there for years. Great drinking pub. I know the last people that run it. Never been a doorman on it in its history. It was taking £8000 a weekend. Whit 5 staff when needed.the recent lease holders reckon they spent £300000 on it dream on. I spent 40 years in the pub refurbishment game . And another 40 years drinking in them if they spent £100000 they where robbed.50 regulars left it in 2 weeks and never set foot in it again. Hopefully some one that knows what they are doing will turn it back to a beer drinkers pub and make a lot of money. To much food in Shirley it a no brainier

Food fantastic lovely friendly staff

Had the smoked salmon and avocado on toast with fries. Delicious. Highly recommend

Beautiful food, tasty coffee and friendly staff. Thoroughly recommended for the hungry traveller!

Great atmosphere and lovely staff.

Lovely staff, excellent food. We had roast beef which was cooked perfectly. I highly recommend.

Visited here on 11th November. We had a lovely warm welcome, shown to our table by the lovely open fire. The service was really good, the food was brilliant and the whole atmosphere was so friendly. Never been here before but we will certainly be back again. Thank you to all the staff for making our visit very enjoyable. Forgot to say the cutlery was SOOO shiny and clean, which I always notice first!

Another lovely meal, staff very attentive and met my dietary needs. Highly recommend the steak and the chicken burger. Very enjoyable evening 😁

Chris the bar manager always pleasant and helpful. Nice relaxing pub

Lovely pub, staff and service. Really tasty vegan wellington , veggie gravy and potatoes. Would recommend 💯 sweet potato, mushroom and spinach. Lots of flavour and huge portion. (Veggie option you can have a Yorkshire pudding) Thank you !

This is the third time eating since the menu changed and it has been truly superb. Steal cooked exactly how I wanted, options suit my taste and attentive staff. Gives the big name steak houses a run for their money. Will certainly be back again!

Singer on Sunday was really good played loads of well known music which was upbeat and a really enjoyable night

Looking for an ale Sunday late afternoon we walked up to the pub - only to hear some bloke trying to s sing what seemed a mix of Country and Elvis music….. badly! Place empty and we walked away…..shame as seemed an ok place.

Excellent food and service. Very good value for money.... Interesting old and unspoilt pub.

1st visit for an Anniversary meal. Lovely outdoor space but inside shabby and in need of redecoration. Ordered a steak and asked twice for it to be well done. Unfortunately as I cut into it blood poured out soaking into the chips and rest of the meal. I informed the waitress who apologised and took it away. The plate was bought back with the bloodied chips and by now the bernaise sauce had congealed. It was indelible. Surprised at how a relatively simple steak meal can go so wrong. On the plus side, the staff were friendly and the meal was taken off the bill as it should be. Unfortunately we won’t be returning.

We arrived just after the kitchen had closed but hearing we’d driven from North Devon, the landlord was kind enough to arrange some delicious sandwiches and chips for us. We then spent a couple of happy hours chatting to the landlord and locals. Wine was...

Greeted immediately by Annie, we felt most welcomed at Bulls Head. She explained the menu enthusiastically and very concisely. She is well spoken and caring; I must say that she’s the best waitress I’ve encountered in a long time. Props to her and thank you...

Pleasant helpful waitress, Julia. Pub v quiet for Saturday lunchtime and looking strangely stripped back and bare in outside dining area and bar. 45mins wait for baguette and only saw 3 other tables eating.

Friendly and helpful staff, lovely country pub atmosphere and very nice food.

Great country pub, food was lovely

Lovely little pub in Barston. Small but perfectly formed menu. Nice location for some walks. Nice big garden

Tiny kids burgers for ten pounds place looked nice though. Took ages to get and had rude staff.

Brownie was nice but to much cream. The service was extremely slow. Absolute rip off the kids burgers were tiny, not very nice and £10. Terrace was beautiful but would not eat there again!!!

Nice food but horrendously overpriced and small portions.

Absolutely fantastic burgers Was worth the drive and I’ll bring the family next time They were exactly like what it said on the menu, fairly priced, freshly made by someone who knows what he/she’s doing

Enjoyed a drink, nice quaint country pub.

Took my parents for Sunday lunch. A bit limited choice but the food was fantastic. We all had the salmon and prawn cocktail starter and Roast Beef. Can’t fault it. Just perfect. Staff are very attentive, in particular Amelia on the bar who is a credit to the place and Jane who I think was the manager. We sat inside but plenty of seats outside. Advise to book as it got busy. Highly recommend.

Great village local, just the ticket after a nice country walk.

Beautiful country pub serving lovely Sunday lunch. Dog friendly!!! Staff are very accommodating and managed to squeeze us in. as we hadn’t booked. The food was lovely, compliment’s to the chef. Thank you for a lovely Sunday afternoon!! See you again soon.

Food let it down! We were told there was between a 30-45 min wait for food which was fine because we were sat in the sun. Food came 50 mins later. I had a ploughman’s which the cheese was so sweaty, pork pie was terrible,...

We went for an evening and were surprised by the choice of burgers. Two of us had different burgers and we both agreed they were the best we had tasted. Service was excellent, food was excellent and the beer just right. Well done.

Lovely friendly staff, good service and great food, dog friendly but don't sell J2O which is all my son drinks

Have used pub many times. Generally have been more than satisfied, however on this occasion it was a really poor experience. Bar staff were polite but appeared false as if you weren't really welcome? Waited along time (pub very quiet) for drinks to be delivered,...

Our 1st experience at this wonderful place the food was 5 star ⭐️ and the service delivered by Zoe really made it special we will definitely be coming back but a real thank u goes the amazing chefs behind the scenes soup was lovely 😊

Very nice pub with friendly staff 😊

Popped in for lunch and it was fab. 2 of us had different burgers and all cooked beautifully. Fish and chips were great and all served by a great lady who’s name I didn’t catch. Our dogs were well looked after too. Living locally we...

Always a great building and cosy pub. Current management is friendly and efficient offering genuine Thai food at a reasonable price. Well worth visiting.

Seemed to have some good beer a bit pricey for me the food is

I didn't like the beer called "Gem" it's flavour was flat and not very nice, beer was left on table when I left... Pub is nice and people are friendly
