I just want to thankyou all for your hospitality. But Natalie was the one person who stood out for me. She was kind and was always there asking if you wanted anything. Very respectful lady.

Took two of our grand children and we all had an excellent meal. They listened to our request (the grandchildren only eat plain burgers ie no trimmings, salad etc.) and the food was as ordered. Our designated server, Kirsten, was also excellent as nothing was too much trouble for her and she was very pleasant.

Been here for a few times and it’s always great. We came last night for the quiz, the quiz was great and we had a steak which was cooked to perfection. Staff were great and great atmosphere. James was especially great with the kids and letting them order their own food! Thank you!

Visited the Bulls Head with my wife on their first Beer Fest event, was awesome. The atmosphere was great, fab live music and great BBQ. The member of staff on the BBQ (Ben) was very helpful in checking allergens and provided a great gluten free option for my wife, we greatly appreciated this, given how busy the event was.

Didn’t have everything in the menu! When food arrived all the dishes that did come came with over cooked french fries on- we were not told they had no chips this was minor until we realised the French fries were like chewing on sticks! No check back was made to our table so this couldn’t even be rectified! Sad to say the only thing nice on my plate was my peas.

I was very impressed that there were "flags" on each course of the meal to warn "Allergy". It made the meal a more relaxing experience. It removed any doubt that the issue had been noted.

Went last night for my dads birthday. When we arrived there was only 1 other table occupied in the whole place. Understand why now! Staff were friendly and helpful. The food arrived and it was all ok. Nothing special , small portions and 1 dessert was tiny. They told me that was just the size of the slices. Compared to the other desserts, it was ridiculously small! Will not be returnimg, left feeling very underwelmed.

Not a very good experience. Got to the table and had to ask them to clear up, there was all rubbish on the floor round the table. Had prawn cocktail for starters, great dollop of seafood sauce with about 6 prawns in it. At least I was looking forward to my roast dinner, but guess what? No roasts were available, on a Sunday when people would be going for roasts. Staff seemed as if they didn’t want to be there. We won’t be going again.

100% wouldn’t recommend coming here if you have any intolerances. No alternative milk at all. Then coffee was actually cold and the non free from milk that came had a hair in it with no specification of what type of milk it was. Staff were rude on arrival following the instructions to stand and wait to be seated and no one came to seat us for at least 7 minutes so we were standing in the door way getting in peoples spaces and obviously this highly breaches social distancing. Colleague ordered food and it came with no cutlery and the way we were spoken to and addressed wasn’t acceptable as paying customers. Made to feel unwelcome by the staff. I wouldn’t come here again I’d rather get a £1 coffee from the burger van next to the charity shop than come here again. Unfriendly to people that aren’t local.

We went for lunch, 4 adults, 2 children at 2 pm in the afternoon, there were maybe 3 other tables in there so not all busy!We ordered 6 meals, 2 turned up 10 minutes after ordering, 5 minutes later no other food had arrived so we followed up, 3 more meals arrived 10 minutes later and the final meal another 10 minutes after, again after having to chase up!The lady that took our order was rude and we were made to feel like we were a hassle! The only saving grace was the young waitress that showed us to the table and offered us free drinks as an apology! Won’t be rushing back!

Well we used to be regulars to this place but we have not been back for three years given it went downhill, we received a 40% discount voucher via email so we decided to give it a try.Well we received a nice welcome and the service and the food had improved and it appeared all the social distancing measures had been put in place and we were thinking it will go back on our list to visit again.Then the young girl cleared the table and I requested the bill and asked her to bring the credit card machine on her return to conclude our night, we then went to exit through the designated exit door through the bar area to be greeted by a loud voice shouting ( HAVE YOU PAID ) I could have cringed to be challenged in that manner but after looking back there was only a few clients in the pub, but if you talk to people who had just spent in excess of £40 like that I can see why .

Went at 1pm on a Saturday. 1 person outside, 3 inside. This place is usually packed. We intended to sit outside in the sun. No menus out so had to ask for one at the bar. Handed menus over with a piece of paper with a QR code for us to “sign in”. I have no idea what that QR code will allow my mobile to disclose, or to whom and where that information will be stored, and used for what purpose. But not happening. Ask is service conditional on me doing this and barmaid asked a middle aged man, presumably the landlord. He was rude and cocky beginning with “refuse him service” and felt it necessary to say “see you later” as I made for the door, so we left his empty, unprofitable Marston’s chain pub and didn’t buy anything. Neither shall we return and no doubt in a year’s time he will be working in a warehouse and the pub will be converted to flats. That is what happens when people abandon common sense and treat customers in this way. Leaving your name and phone number is one thing. Demanding access to your phone is a different level of intrusion altogether.

Witnessed staff go from handling cash to pulling pints to going into the kitchen without washing their hands or using hand gel. Appalling!! Waited over 30 minutes to be seated in our pre-booked table and even then, it was another 30 minutes until we were able to order. To top it all off, my boyfriend’s lasagna came out half frozen, lukewarm. Disgusting!!! Wouldn’t give it to my dog, DO NOT COME HERE

We went in at around 9 in the evening the other day and ordered drinks. I thought it closed at 11 as it says online so we arranged to go home at 10:45 due to previously being told to leave at 10:45 (never did anything wrong we just quietly chat in a corner).We ordered second drinks which we had not finished when at 10:10 we were told to take our drinks outside because they had closed??? Were not happy At them closing early when we had paid for our drinks and they are supposed to close at 11. We then waited in the car for my friends to get their lifts and witnessed all the staff leaving Straight after. They were quite rude and we obviously weren’t going to sit outside when it was closed and very cold. Must have been because they couldn’t be bothered so wanted to go home and thought because we look young they’d kick us out. We didn’t act inappropriately or anything to trigger this and have been here before. Was appalled at the lack of ‘customer first’ attitude and we will not be returning.

My second recent visit here to meet up with a friend and landlady’s husband behind bar was ignorant rude and practically was peed off that we only ordered 2 drinks and a starter , First visit I ordered the nachos , dry tastes nachos, the smallest over melted amount of cheese imaginable and the smallest amount of sour cream guacamole and salsa I’ve seen which went on my second dipping , Today ordered a prawn cocktail starter , came in a mini tin limp lettuce prawns then dollops of prawn sauce , it was ok but no flavour no garnish and nothing special When ordering today the landlady’s husband was serving behind the bar he was very rude ignorant and care less attitude , basically kept asking are we not ordering anything else appart from 2 drinks and a starter We have given this place 2 tries recently both times good not great at all and will not be giving them any more of our time and money untill they learn some manors and customer care !!!!!!!

A young blonde woman on her own behind the bar I felt for. The landlady is one of the rudest people I’ve came across. It took 1.20mins for our food to arrive and even then they couldn’t get it right.

Went in for a family meal around 5.30 in the week. After ordering 2 pub meals and 2 pizza was told they had no defrosted pizza dough so we couldn’t have pizza!! After pushing their new pizza menu you’d think they would have the food readily available. No apology from the landlady just a response to order an alternative!!

Booked here for a meal with family. When we turned up they didn’t have our booking but seated us straight away so it wasn’t an issue. I gotta say it does exactly what it says on the tin. When you eat at a pub you get your staples but the menu here has a different feel to your run of the mill pub grub. Yes it’s got your fish n chips, pie and scampi but it also offers something different like what I had, halloumi fries which were superb and chicken strips on a waffle with maple syrup. Everything we ordered was well cooked and tasted really nice. Order was accurate, nothing missing. I think they were short staffed as the guy who served our drinks also delivered our food and cleaned our table. We didn’t wait too long either. It was nice to sit n have time for a chat in between courses to be honest. Value for money here was amazing. Me and my better half had 2 courses each along with drink and it came to about £27 ish. So would I come back again? Yeah definitely.

Don’t know what’s happened but the Bulls Head (Breaston) has really gone down hill. We have been regulars since moving in to village 15 years ago. Tonight we waited over an hour for 4 burgers. They really did look like they had been thrown together and appearance wise very poor which really match the taste.

Unfortunately another inedible dinner from the Bulls Head in Breaston (not to be mistaken by the Bulls Head in Repton which is amazing!). After several awful meals here a few years ago I vowed to never eat here again. However I stopped for an impromptu pizza one Friday recently and for £5 it was edible and so thought I would return to try something else. Now I should say here that I am not a fussy eater and pretty much eat anything. However the roast beef dinner I had tonight was cold, tasteless and I was unable to eat it as the beef was so tough it could not be cut, the roast potatoes were raw in the middle, carrots and peas were hard, broccoli over cooked, the mash was stodgy and the Yorkshire pudding tasted like old oil. My kids dinners were equally awful for similar reasons, I had one mouthful of one of their sausages and it was so full of gristle even my 2 year old (who eats anything) would eat nothing on his plate. My partner had a vegan burger with chips and said it was nice.

Lovely pub inside and out however the food is boarder line... we had a lovely walk and couldn’t get into the pub we wanted to visit for Sunday lunch as they were fully booked (our mistake) so we thought we’d try here. We ordered one veggie Sunday lunch and one half roast chicken Sunday lunch. I decided to go large for an extra £2 on the half roast chicken and the only difference was the chicken was served on a rectangle plate (complete illusion) to make you feel like you’re getting more but there was not more food on the large apart from an extra Yorkshire pudding. The menu also lists the Sunday lunches to be served with stuffing, there was no stuffing on the dinner. We mentioned all this to the staff and we were offered a free pudding, we settled for the extra money back for the regular serving of food. The staff are lovely but we definitely won’t be parting with any more money to eat here perhaps a drink again... we’ll see... I’m not one to complain but I think it’s important to share in consistencies when parting with your money.

We booked a table for 10 people here after trying to book a table elsewhere and we were told they couldn’t take bookings for groups larger than 8 people. I phoned to book at the Bulls Head and had a friendly person take the booking for ten which wasn’t a problem here, we just had to eat at 8:45pm as it was short notice and other times were booked up. We all arrived and got seated. We were there to celebrate my daughters 19th Birthday. She asked to order a cocktail and the waitress asked to see ID which my daughter never had so she was disappointed she had to order a non alcoholic drink on her birthday but lesson learnt, -always carry ID. We all enjoyed our main courses which were nicely presented, hot and tasty. A few of us then ordered a dessert which also went down well except one which was some burnt cookie dessert but the waitress immediately said we didn’t have to pay for that which was good. We had complimentary balloons on the table and a free dessert happy birthday platter thing which was a lovely touch. We all had a lovely evening and it was our first time here. We will return.

Visited at 7pm on a Sunday after seeing online that they advertised Sunday dinners all day on a Sunday. We had been out for the day and really fancied a Sunday roast on the way home- so were disappointed when we arrived to be told they had no Sunday dinners left. We found a table to sit at but then moved to another as it was dirty with sticky dried up drink spills. We then looked at the menu, which was so 'busy' that you got a headache reading it. We ordered the vegan burger, tikka masala, gammon and vegetable lasagne. Food took just under 40 minutes to arrive. Gammon was so overcooked that the whole steak, not just the fat, was crispy and the egg had been cooked for far too long- the white was burnt and crispy and the yolk was rock hard and rubbery. The vegetable lasagne was very dry on the top, the lasagne sheets undercooked and the tomato sauce very dry, also the garlic bread that came with it was burnt around the edges. The poppadom that came with the tikka masala was chewy and stale and there was no mango chutney served as stated on the menu. We decided to eat the meals rather than send them back as it was now 8.15pm and seeing as the meals had taken so long to arrive in the first place who knows how long a replacement would be! Went to pay the bill on the way out and wasn't even asked by the member of staff if the meals were alright. I couldn't even be bothered to raise it as I got the impression it's the kind of place that I would just receive a "sorry about that", rather than any discount or offer of recompense - if they can't even be bothered to ask how your meals were, then that says it all really. Trouble with places that serve food very cheap sometimes unfortunately means you get a cheap standard of food too. £40 down the drain and definitely won't return - the Navigation up the road serves far better food, just sadly we had missed their cut off time on a Sunday.

I have been to eat at this pub many times and nine times out of ten have been very satisfied with the food, the service, the quality of the meals and the presentation of them. The one reason I cannot call this a good pub is because every single time I order a drink there I get a short measure. I have now given up asking for a top up because they look at me as though I am at fault. Why would a pub with a well deserved reputation for good food and service put it's reputation at risk by perpetually serving short measure on its drinks. They probably do it because the Brewery tell them to and not because they want to. Shame because it is a nice place to go.

On a lovely day visited the Bulls Head, found parking the car no problem, and on entering the recently refurbished premises, felt a welcoming atmosphere. Found a table very quickly and was met by an enthusiastic member of staff who served us straight away with our drinks, and took our food order at the same time. we took our seats and the food arrived looking delicious, and tasted as good as it looked, and it was served hot and in reasonable time. A pleasant experience indeed, well done the. kitchen staff and servers.The 'A' team were on duty, LYNNE,STEENA and CHRISTOPHER clearly enjoyed their work and it rubbed off on us.

We had a very pleasant first course and tried to order dessert at 8.55 to be told the kitchen was closed. I accept that they would not take any first orders at that time but surely those of us who had started our meal should be able to complete it. Nowhere was it stated that the kitchen closed early or was it made clear when we ordered our main course. Surely a table booking for 7.30 we should be able to have more than one course. No complaints about the food we had.

Had some nachos. Abysmal. A pile of Doritos with barely a sprinkling of grated cheese, some very plastic tasting "guacamole" which has barely been near an avocado. The sour cream looked and tasted more like mayonnaise. And the pulled pork / beef chilli extra had little to do with pork or beef. Added to which there was so little topping that it wasn't enough for the Doritos. Can't believe they have the audacity to charge £8 for this or of plastic from a jar.

We visited the bulls head on Easter Sunday for 8 of us, a rare family meal. 4 of us ordered the beef Sunday roast, well not again I am not sure you could even call it beef, it was no more than one millimetre thick, the fat had not been rendered and it was so dry we struggled to swallow it, it may be good value, but had I of known it was a cheap cut I would have avoided it, such a shame. The mash was not fresh, to be honest almost like yesterday's warmed through or even frozen and warmed through, lacked seasoning and a simple knob of butter. 2 of the group had the mega breakfast, sausages were deep fried, beans warmed in microwave and were drying up, eggs were not cooked, the white still very much opaque. The fish and chips and hunters chicken were enjoyed. On our first drinks order we asked for a mocktail, I overheard a lady ask a member of staff 'can you do a mocktail' I believe she was the manager, two minutes later we were told we don't do mocktail and she was fobbed off with a flavoured lemonade. On the array of menu offerings you have, to not have a mocktail seems a little strange and was another let down. Working in hotels myself I know you have the odd bad day, but given that when we arrived it was very quiet and the kitchen would not have been under too much pressure I wonder how it's managed when it's full. Such a shame as we have been to the bulls head many times and enjoyed, think we will stick to the Queens Head in Ockbrook, simply great no matter what the pressures.

Booked a table for 12 of us and had such a great day. The food was lovely and hot and the staff did a great job even though was very busy. Love the new look and would highly recommend this place. Thanks for a very special Mother’s Day. And the free gin and tonic was a great touch.

Today we went to the the Bulls Head the atmosphere was lively and busy. We pre booked the table however the staff members couldn’t find our reservation. So what they put is on another reserve table for another family and we could only stay for 2 hours.

We went for lunch today and found the place to be clean and tidy. The portion of the food is just right and even had room for pudding. The price is just right too so will be coming back again.

A beautiful meal but ruined by one member of staff. We had starters, mains and desserts that were all amazing made by a friendly young chef. Unfortunately the night was ruined by a member of staff who I assume was the manager on the day as she was not wearing uniform and who had brown hair and a ponytail and looked to be in her 40’s. As soon as we walked in we were not greeted kindly and throughout the night we were spoke to in a rude manor which descended into constant frowning which made us uncomfortable forcing us to depart early. Not only this but we witnessed her being condescending towards the chef’s out on the restaurant and the bar staff. Without this member of staff I would definitely recommend The Bulls Head Breaston.

I have been going here for a while. Recently visited The Bulls Head after a recent renovation. The decor is great. Modern but still in keeping with the traditional look. The staff are always friendly. The managment team are also out front of house. Working behind the bar, surving food and even preparing the pizza's. The food is nicely presented, well prepared and taste great. They have a great variety of foods for all. From pub classics all the way to pizza's. The deserts are really nice aswell. They have a great variety of drinks behind the bar aswell. I highly recomend this place for either a few drinks with friends or meal out with your family or significant other. 10/10

Really hot, all the fires on on full and most tables reserved. Sat near the bar where mostly staff conducted personal conversations in ear shot and not nice really. Would go back to try food but sit away from bar.

The food was absolutely incredible and the pizzas were really filling. The staff throughout our visit were really friendly and welcoming. Offering a takeaway box for our unfinished garlic bread was an excellant touch to visit. Unfortunately we didn't get the waiters name but he knew the menu items and was very helpful.

I'm a regular customer at the Bull's Head and usually the food's fine, the price is right and the service OK. But last week theymanaged to get several things wrong on a single, simple order. I ordered a jacket potato with beans, no cheese, no salad. The barmaid acknowledged my order, but just wandered off for two minutes to find her till key. No apology. She asked again what I wanted. I repeated it, added a cappuccino and packet of crisps and offered a voucher (from a Christmas meal, where the food was fine, but the service painfully slow). Two more minutes while she and her boss puzzled over how to enter the voucher in the till. No apology. I took the coffee and sat down. Below the froth, the coffee had no milk and therefore wasn't a cappuccino. I took it back and said if the machine won't do cappuccinos I'd have an Americano instead. A few minutes later she brought it. When I tried it it had no milk either. After fifteen minutes, with no food arriving, I asked the boss to chase it. He said nothing, went to the kitchen, brought it out and gave it to me. (How long had it been sitting there?) No apology. It was a jacket potato with beans and cheese and salad (not what I'd ordered). The crisps were all right.

We enjoyed a lovely 3 course meal at the Bulls Head on Christmas day, the food was served quickly, was extremely tasty and the staff were friendly and joined in the Christmas spirit. The whole place was decorated out with Christmas trimmings and was extremely inviting and enhanced our Christmas celebrations. LYNNE and CHRISTOPHER must be congratulated on making it such a splendid occasion for the two of us as we were not part of a family group. It was an excellent occasion for us and we cannot wait until next Christmas for a similar experience. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Have recently enjoyed three meals at this pub all have been well cooked and served hot their “ two for one” was very good value, it seems to be a victim of its success though with often a wait for tables and tables not being cleared or cleaned. That apart friendly staff and fairly quick service make up for that. Plenty of car

Just been lunch today ordered Fish and chip‘s.Meal was terrible as there seemed to be no fish in with the batter and looked like it had been reheated just one hard piece of batter and not very hot. Meal was sent back was asked if I wanted it replaced I declined as my wife and I were the first in for a meal today and if that’s the best the Bulls Head can do at the beginning of service I dread to think what the quality of food the other customers will receive today. I WILL NOT be returning.

Went for a family meal on Friday, I’ve been going to the bulls head for years and never really had an issue, portion sizes have always been good even with the two for one. Staff has always been polite and friendly but Saturday I found the portion sizes where pretty small, we had the two for one and they are doing an extra £10 off when you spend £25 so for a family of 4 that’s fantastic. But you certainly get what you pay for. It appeared they have reduced the food for this offer. Now my meals was perfect for me however some members of the party where left hungry. I would say it was an even split on the quality of the food also, burgers looked lovely and my lamb hotpot pie was lovely, the lasagna was bland and not at all filling. The puddings where a very large portion but we payed full price for those. They where tasty also.

We went to the Bulls Head 13/10 and ordered butter milk chicken dips and Nachos. The chicken came with dry lettuce no dressing and a sweet chilli dip, which was okay for the price. The Nachos arrived with melted cheese and jalapenos, missing its sour cream,guacamole and salsa. Asked waitress where they were and she brought the Sour cream and guacamole, which was cold. Sent Nachos back and manager came over. Manager did not apologies for error but blamed the waitress as she had only been there a week. I told the manager that it was the kitchen staffs fault not the waitress, she was very displeased when I said I did not want charging for the Nachos as I had not eaten them. Mains then arrived, smothered chicken & chorizo was okay for price. I ordered beef lasagne, which arrived as beef slop, but actually tasted okay, although there was no definition between the cheese and pasta. On paying our bill, to the credit of the manager she had deducted £11.00 from our bill. Given this, we will not be returning and will not be recommending anyone visiting.

Having been eating at the Bulls head for years and years as it was our spontaneous eating place midweek, we turned up tonight for a family meal and sadly were very disappointed. What has happened? Rather surreal experience. Had my usual (not as good as it usually is) and 3 out of 4 dishes were meant to include chips- tiny portions. So we requested extra. Daughters curry with rice arrived and we can’t quite get our heads round the thought process that allowed a cook to put wallpaper paste gloop on the plate instead of rice. Overall the food was certainly not of the standard we are used to from this pub! What was going on? Staff did apologise and brought additional chips and salad however we were reluctant to stay any longer than necessary as the large party behind us were swearing, throwing things across the tables and even came over and asked for one of our chips for their daughter. They were constantly going outside to smoke and leaving door open, so cold air and smoke was coming in AND then to top it all the pub has installed a toy grabbing machine, which they kept coming over to next to our table to use- felt like I was in Skegvegas- my least favourite place in the world! Sorry Bulls head but if this is the way you are going then we won’t be visiting anymore. ☹️ Sad as like to support our local places.

This place doesn't seem to have the shine it used to have. Sometimes you get a lovely meal and can have a great evening, other times, very average all round. Such a shame as it used to be our goto place

Just back from our latest jaunt after a few days away with eldest daughter & family, almost 60 years since we honeymooned there.in May 1959. Needless to say the place has changed some-what. It has now become a vibrant sea-side resort for all walks of life, from babes in arms to pensioners. I assume, the authorities have ploughed a lot of money into the resort, which you can appreciate by the revamped prom, with kiddies rides & amusements. A stroll down the pier is certainly worth a visit or two. The show on the pier is well worth going to see, a real professional show that leaves your sides splitting, credit to all the cast & company. We were holidaying self-catering, twas only a small dining area that doubled-up as a bedroom, so feeding seven people presented a bit of a challenge, but we coped, ate breakfast on the hoof, & ate out mostly in the evening. There are plenty of eating places, so you aren't stuck for anywhere to go, advisable to book if possible. The accommodation is an old look-out post that was used during WW11 keeping watch for any invasions in that area. Now you can sit there all day with your binos surveying the wind farms, oil/gas platforms etc, keeps you occupied. The accommodation was a little cramped, but the two eldest girls slept outside under canvas. No holiday in this area is worth-while without fish, chips & mushy peas standing on the quay in Wells-next-the-Sea. We will be,hopefully, holidaying there next year, it's a MUST. A.Barnes.

Really poor quality food my partner and I had spicy chicken burger which comprised of a slice of chicken one lettuce leaf a squirt of chilly sauce and 5 chips. Stars out of 5 minus 10 really was that bad.

This is a response to a previous reply from The Queens Head. Yes we did opt to keep the Prosecco but we were not aware of the expense As a chef myself I would never have served the food. Even the staff were embarrassed to serve it We had waited so long we ate what was edible but we won’t return anytime soon Buyer beware

The service was so slow that it would have been quicker to go home and prepare it myself. Nearly all the tables were littered with dirty crockery and left over food. It was obvious that they were short staffed but they should have stopped serving cooked food and just carried on with drinks and cakes. It was the most awful experience I have ever had in a restaurant. I will accept that what staff there was did as well as was possible but should not have attempted to do cooked meals. Gordon Bradley

There were 5 of us, ordered and paid separately. The server was very friendly and helpful. I ordered the soup and asked that my roll should be gluten free, the server replied that it would be bread not a roll and I said that was fine. My soup arrived, with a roll. At first I thought they must have had some after all so didn't query it. I then looked closely at the roll and sniffed it (gluten free has a particular whiff). I took the roll up to the counter and the lady there took it from me saying it was definitely not gf and she then brought some bread which she declared to be 100% gf. I was very upset that such a mistake could have been made and I suggest that some retraining take place urgently. Some allergies are unpleasant and some are deadly, the staff need to be aware.

Stayed at this hotel for one night, as a stop over, when on our way up to North Yorkshire for a short break. A lovely hotel with lots of character. All staff very friendly and helpful. Our room was very bright ... double aspect windows.... and very clean. Nice en_suite bathroom and very comfortable bed. Breakfast was great too. Would definitely recommend staying at this hotel.
