A little disappointed, no one to meet and greet or explain how it works. Seemed short staffed. Carvery ok but vegetables only lukewarm, asked for two meals to e reheated. Forgot our dessert order. Perhaps it was just a bad day.

We visited for a birthday and we had a lovely time. To be honest, we had visited previously and felt disappointed with the food. However, the restaurant has now redeemed itself in our eyes. The man who served us at the bar was helpful and friendly, very efficient. The food was just plentiful, perfect. The carvery offered three meat choices and a wide range of vegetables and sauces. A particular strong point for us is the opportunity to have a cheaper ‘meat free’ carvery or vegetarian alternatives for the carvery meat, as two of our guests are vegetarian. Many carvery restaurants do not offer this but we feel that this is great value. We had a lovely visit and we will be back! Thank you!

I would also like to mention the courtesy and friendliness of both Liam and Lynn who took the time to have a chat with my 83 yr old mother who said she enjoyed the visit and would definitely go back with friends and familyWell done to all the Bullshead team.Both Mother and son delighted.

Have been here twice since lockdown restrictions eased. This restaurant has been very Covid compliant. Tables are well spaced and cleaned thoroughly between customers. Carvery is good. You can no longer serve yourself but tell the chef what you would like and they put it on your plate. If you want more of something it’s no problem to ask. My only criticism is the price of the pizzas. They are expensive for what they are. Staff here are super friendly and accommodating.

Didn't expect much, but was very disappointed. Painfully slow service and carvery was terrible - stone cold, over cooked veg and fatty beef, at £9.50 per head on a Sunday. Never again!Beer was overpriced and nasty too.Don't waste your money there a much nicer places locally.

We went during ‘Eat out to help out’ and we were so disappointed. There was no chance of social distancing with staff and customers walking wherever, customers going out for a cigarette and walking past us as we were queuing to get in. No marked routes, with separate in or out doors. With the exception of not being able to serve your own vegetables, you’d never know there was a global pandemic!!And because you couldn’t serve yourselves at the carvery, the food was slopped on your plate, like a school dinner and loads of it too, not at all appetising. Won’t be going back in a hurry.

Booked a table and took my son to celebrate his results. We were greeted at the door and the polite, helpful staff member explained the new procedure given the current situation. All very straightforward and we felt safe. Everything was clean and the food is a reasonable price. The breakfast was really enjoyable, all you can eat buffet, a variety of breakfast items and the food was hot. I had left a bad review previously after a disappointing evening meal but breakfast and the staff on yesterday morning have redeemed it for them.

I came here with my husbands family, to cut a long story short I have a milk allergy, I went to the carvery and was told that I couldn’t have the Yorkshire pudding, and apparently the mash had vegan butter in - to which I replied vegan butter doesn’t contain milk.Well basically I fell ill from this, although I’m not extremely allergic, it was enough for me to have to cancel paid plans for that evening. I emailed the company and spoke to Selina Squire - she was very helpful and told me the truth that the mash had contained milk. But has assured me that they are retraining staff and has also rectified the matter. The carvery was nice but wasn’t very warm. I would like to try something off their main menu next time as to be honest it did look really good, but next time I’ll ask for the allergen guide.

This place used to be ok for an eat all you want buffet breakfast. Never the best quality food but ok for the money. I have noticed over time however that the food and service have declined..it's especially noticeable that staffing levels are way down, which probably leads to their indifference. Went there this weekend and this will be my last time, the food is now appalling, mostly luke warm, far more limited choice, had to ask and wait for eggs, no brown sauce. When asking the staff for these items it's easy to get the sense of how disheartened they appear. This place used to be ok food at ok prices and was always busy with upbeat staff. All I see here now is quality and service taking a nosedive but prices rocketing up, not particularly cheap on my last visit, nearly £21 for 3 for poor quality breakfast. It's also very noticeable how dirty and cluttered the serving areas are with lots of spilt food on the floor, again probably due to staffing levels. There are now plenty of other places nearby offering breakfast of far far better quality at similar if not better prices. It looks like the bulls head has got a little greedy and taken their eye off the ball!

I visited the Bulls Head with my wife and a Groupon voucher. We had been before but a few years ago. We were entirely satisfied with our visit this time. The menu was extensive with something for everyone and the food was freshly prepared and of good quality. But the real highlight of our visit was Laura, a most pleasant employee who was very attentive without being overbearing and ensured we made the most of our voucher. It's unusual for me to single out a staff member, but I can only say that EVERY restaurant needs a Laura!

've been most times I'm around the area, I wont be coming back. Dawn on the pizza counter is so unbelievably rude. I asked if the 2 gravies were different, a fair question given they were a different shade of brown. Dawn on the pizza counter responded with a stare. I repeated my question. She shouted "they're the same". I asked if she always responded to customers with such rudeness. She said I was being rude. I asked to speak to her supervisor. She refused to give me her name. I asked bar staff to call the supervisor. On hearing this Dawn shouted that I was giving her "attitude". I was embarrassed by this in a busy bar. James the supervisor came down to chat about what happened. I had a refund for my meal, and sat whilst the other members of my group ate. I have 25 years in hospitality. This is shocking customer service.

Stopped here for lunch on our way home as had driven by many times and thought it looked nice and didn’t realise it was a carvery so we were pleasantly surprised as we haven’t had one for ages. Surprised by the other reviews on here as the day we went the food was fantastic and the meat was lovely. Staff were friendly and the men behind the bar today (Saturday) were quick and polite. The carvery was around £6/£7 so a fair price for a good meal.

Went last night for food. Got moved tables twice because the lad put us in the wrong area which was reserved for party. Ordered food and drinks the young lad poured 1 drink and walked off without pouring the other so another member of staff had to do it. Was rude when he said you know the buzzer system, I didn't so he spoke to me like I was stupid and rolled his eyes. Starters brought out no side plates. Cal zone and pizza lovely. All sides such as beans were congealed and dry. Some people shouldn't work in customer service the gentleman who I dealt with at this restaurant is one of them.

We visit here when we are in the area and are usually happy with the carvery bearing in mind the cost. However we visited last week and we were disappointed with the quality. We arrived at 12.15pm and immediately noticed there was not so many in the place as before. When we got served the reason became apparent. The meat portions have been cut back tremendously to 2 small slices. The roast potatoes were hard and undercooked and the vegetables were starting to dry under the heat of the carvery lights. The gravy was very thick and congealed. We did not enjoy the experience and came away thinking standards and quality have dropped. We don,t know if the management or staff have changed but things need improving.

Me and my family visit here once a month when we come and see my mother in law as it's convient and has reasonable pricing. However, our recent visit this weekend completely ruined the atmosphere and reputation of the place for me. I took my young son to the toilets where I witnessed clear evidence of drugs use. This is a carvery!? It's supposed to be a family friendly pub and I'm expected to take my son to use these facilities whilst locals use it a public toilet. I saw no evidence of toilet check sheets in there either we left and used the disabled toilets which were fairly unclean. It's a shame our experience was ruined as we do like to visit here. (I did try and report this but the staff were busy and I was in a rush) won't be back in a hurry.

5 of us met at 10.00 am for buffet breakfast. 2 of us are vegetarian so you have to order how many veggie quorn sausages you require when you pay for your breakfast, We were told that there was only 1 sausage left, pretty poor for 10.00 am on a Saturday bearing in mind it was the start of the weekend. If you want mushrooms they charge you extra which seems ridiculous as they are hardly a luxury food item are they.

Visited for the carvery. Vegetables were tired and clearly kept ‘warm’ for too long. Asked for fresh cauliflower and told to come back in 3 minutes. Arrived in 5 along with fresh peas bit was hard and not cooked through. Mash was dry and hard, stuffing like a rock, roast potatoes solid. Beef and gammon was good but turkey so dry it crumbled on carving (the used side was brown and clearly been there a while). The man who appeared to be in charge cleared our table of uneaten food but didn’t ask if everything was ok - he obviously knew! He was seen stirring the salad bar trying to make it look fresh. As we left the veg still hadn’t been refreshed. Best avoided!

First time visited since it became a Stonehouse place. Minimal staff about, and the ones visible were rushing around. Given a buzzer to let us know when food was ready - but I could smell my Calzone burning before the buzzer sounded! Very Smoky atmosphere! Collected plates of food to "help yourself" with sides from the carvery, but the selection available, while a good range, had been under lights for a while and was dry and not fresh at all - Cauliflower Cheese was particularly insipid, chips also pale and bland. Food quantity was good, so didn't go for dessert, Doombar beer and Soft drinks fine.

Great value food. Brett was so lovely and went above and beyond for our table. Very rare to get professional service from someone that came across so happy and genuine!

I discovered this place through my daughter. It’s basically a pub with a difference, based on the A512 between Shepshed and Coalville. That difference being that it opens at 8am for a well priced all you can eat breakfast.

My friends and family decided to visit The Bulls Head in Thringstone to celebrate mine and a friends birthday so I booked the table a few weeks before and got an email confirmation. Upon arrival my friends were told there was no reservation in my name which was simply a lie. I mentioned this to a waitress who explained there was sometimes a "glitch" which I thought wasn't great but she was apologetic and we were given a table. I also mentioned the free starter you get when you sign up for their newsletter as I'd not received any email or text confirmation. This waitress mentioned this to another girl who was passing and she duly told me "without a code I can't help you" I said I had followed the process but not received any code so what could we do to resolve it? Again she said "I can't do anything without a code" Turns out this snotty cow was the manager! Not helpful, not bothered and rude. My friend was given the wrong burger, the good wasn't that great in general so I doubt I'll be a repeat customer which is a shame as I'd heard good things but clearly they were having an off night

So I never thought I’d eat here again after a dreadful meal last July, however I was persuaded to give it another try and I have to stay still a long way from perfect but very much improved. The waiting staff and carvery lady were friendly and helpful tables clean but we did have a glass that was clean but smelt very odd as though it had been dried with dirty tea towel maybe.

This pub has really gone down hill. We have been going for years. Carvery meet was cut so thin it was transparent and dry too. My son's pizza was uncooked and had to be replaced. It's a shame as used to be good value and good quality. Manager's apology was not good enough.

Awful! The staff were rude, you could clearly tell that they were unhappy working there. The food was tasteless and the lady carving the meat was miserable and threw the few slices meat onto the plate! The selection of veg was good, although most of the dishes were empty and we had to wait for new dishes to be brought out.

We went here today for lunch, it’s the second time we’ve been and I can definitely say it will be the last. We should have given up after the first time as that wasn’t the most pleasant experience, but as the place has had a “revamp” and had a new menu, we thought we’d give it another go. It was quiet when we arrived and there was only a couple of tables with people sat at them yet all the other empty tables looked to be filthy. We found the least disgusting looking table and started looking through the menu. We should have left then. We ordered a sharing starter of BBQ chicken wings, southern fried chicken bites and Cracker Jack prawns. We ordered our mains at the same time and were handed a buzzer that would alert us when our main was ready and were told that chips and salad were available to help ourselves. The starter arrived and so it begins...Everything arrived sat on top of wilted, brown lettuce leaves. The prawns were soggy and the breadcrumbs were falling off. The southern fried chicken was ok, the chicken wings however were absolutely vile. They had no sauce, were dry as a bone and inedible. When the buzzer went off my partner when to collect them and came back with 2 black looking calzones on a wooden plank with no chips or salad, as there was none were there should have been. My calzone had what looked like water seeping out of it and the dough was raw. The meat inside was tasteless and looked grey. I don’t expect Michelin star quality from a local pub, but edible would be nice. Very poor

The staff are mainly young probably because this makes them cheap. However this inexperience shows. The food is average. If you like a plate full for a cheap price but aren't too bothered what it tastes like this is for you. The vegtables were overcooked and didn't taste of much. I had a lemon sponge for pudding. It was dry and chewy, i had trouble cutting into it with my spoon. The pizzas might be better but i don't recommend the Carvery. I have had a lot better for a similar price.

Visited on Wednesday night.We wasn’t aware there had been a refurb that’s how long we haven’t been! Very impressed with the new look and food. Nice to see different choices however still opted for the carvery. Lovely food still nicely presented at 8pm at night. Staff seemed happy and were happy to help and chat to us. Will defiantly return perhaps to try a pizza next time.

I have never experienced such a rude bunch of people and that not being the staff but other people who are waiting rather impatiently for a table! I applaud the young girls who have to put up with such rude people.

We have been going here many years and the breakfast have always been good until recent so we decided to have break for a while hoping it would go back up to a good standard. Returned today hoping for a good hearty breakfast. This didn't happen. Fried bread had been fried until it was burnt, it was that hard it could be used for roofing, sausages were two tone, bacon wasn't to bad, but everything was terrible. Oh had to wait for fried eggs as well.

Tried the breakfast. All you can eat buffet. If you enjoy breakfast then you most probably will like this it has been revamped, fairly recently but shocked by the sharp hike in price!!!!! Was clean, friendly and welcoming but price is off putting, sorry but someone has to say it!!!

Visited one Saturday tea time and it was ok, nothing to rave about and you got what you paid for and nothing more. Ordered a calzone and a burger and bits were missing on both. They were short staffed so no one came over during the meal and it meant taking both plates to the counter to moan but as there was only one person serving it wasn’t fair. Pricing was reasonable but wouldn’t recommend here unless you are passing for an average bite to eat

On a 3-4 hour journey to Alton towers and needed somewhere for food before heading home. This pub was an excellent find. Catered for gluten free with its own menu and even willing to customise my son’s fussy needs. Amazing service and food was excellent. Highly recommend! Thank you
