My favourite of the Chilled Pubs group. Fantastic food with plenty of choices for all tastes. Lots of cocktails to choose from too. The garden room is really comfortable with attractive decor. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The yakatori sticks are to die for but all food is amazing here. Worth the money paid and will be back again soon. Highly recommended

Came in a few weeks ago with some family for lunch. The food and drink were gorgeous and the service by Harry was fantastic he was so friendly and enthusiastic. We came in last night with my boyfriend and had a brilliant time made better by Harry, who was prepared to go above and beyond to make our evening as best as possible. Thank you Harry! We will come again solely to be served by Harry!!

I recently ordered a barbecue chicken yakitori this is not a cheap dish.The chicken was horrible full of fatty and gristle bits.I left half of it. Very disappointing.I did not bother complaining as the last time I complained about something all the manager said was sorry.

We visited for my husband's birthday, whilst on holiday nearby. There were 7 of us - 4 adults, 2 teenagers and a child. Pre organisation emails were helpful, and they were accomodating when we needed to change the time. Sat upstairs, and it was very busy, but well organised. A slight wait between courses, but waitresses were very helpful and attentive when we asked for things. They put a candle on my husband's pudding as well!Menu was southern American inspired, but all looked delicous - we had a range of starters, mains and puddings - all were lovely.We were sat in the room upstairs which did get a little noisy for my parents, as there were lots of bigger groups up here.

We took our daughter for lunch on Sunday. We have been a couple of times and thought we'd have a chilled out lunch.Unfortunately the whole experience was underwhelming. When we go for a meal, whilst the food is predominately at the forefront, the service and environment is important also.We were put on a table in the bar, which appeared to be a main thoroughfare for staff and customers, and there were people constantly dashing passed, certainly no chance for social distancing, if anybody was still concerned about this. I wouldn't put a table there, it was very uncomfortable.We asked to be moved, which we were, but I still found the whole experience rather chaotic. There were far too many staff rushing around passed the tables, no chance to relax and enjoy the meal.The app experience, takes away the service aspect. Other establishments have managed this much better. It was hard to locate a manager, and it looked like there were far too many staff rushing around, adding to the chaotic environment.By the time the food arrived - we had had enough. Oh by the way the food was just ok, but not enough of a pull to bring us back here in a hurry I'm afraid.

Food was above expectations. Not from the area so what looked like just another pub serving food turned into a delightful meal. Pizzas are huge and best we’ve had in a long time. Chicken chilli hanging kebab sticks are also huge and delicious.Really can’t fault the food and service. Shout out to young Harry who served us, very friendly and polite as were all the staff.Management - Maybe the table we sat at was a little to close to serving traffic (the one beside the Hoover cupboard)Obviously a busy restaurant, we just felt a little in the way with all the pizza’s being served past us.

We visit the bulls head frequently and always have great service and food. However, I had a table booked on Friday for a 50th birthday and needed to alter from 6 people to 7 as upon booking initially covid restrictions would not allow more than 6. I didn’t think this would be a problem seen as you could quite easily put one person on the end! However, they were quite unhelpful and wouldn’t change our booking. I will not be visiting again.

We recently visited the Bulls head for a catch up with a large group of friends.We had an amazing night. We all ordered pizza which came out really fast considering how busy it was. Only negative was the drinks came out in dribs and drabs as they were coming from different bars. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Special mention to 'Imogen' who looked after us for the evening. She had a great knowledge of the menus and was very friendly, helpful and efficient. Nothing was too much trouble. I would definitely recommend visiting and we'll be back again soon!

I had heard good things about The Bulls Head and was looking forward to going. The menu initially appeared to be quite extensive. Being coeliac and having to follow a strict gluten free diet I was left feeling very disappointed. With 3 choices on the starter menu and 2 choices on the main menu I wasn’t exactly spoilt for choice. I ordered the Thai chilli chicken which was bit too sweet for me. It was either that or vegetable chilli. As for dessert my choice was nonexistent. The staff were really helpful and friendly. However, Sorry unless you adapt your menu more I won’t be returning

I’d heard so many people say how good this place was that I thought we’d better try it. Had to book weeks in advance to get the time we wanted in the garden room. Lovely setting. Service was excellent. Room a little too warm for my liking but as there was torrential rain outside I assume that’s why no doors/windows were open. Had a pizza and four sides to share. Very reasonably priced. Would go again.

Unfortunately when we arrived we were told they only did pizza and roast dinners and no kids menu. I checked and this wasn’t stated at time of booking or anywhere on the website. This made preferring fairly difficult due to multiple allergies. After asking several staff members they agreed to do kids chicken goujons but they came out very burnt. We were going to enquire about this but a few groups came in and were sat very closely to our table, we felt very uncomfortable and knew this wasn’t covid guidelines so asked to pay and we left very quickly

Visited for fathers day, had to queue 10mins to get in but once in and seated the food was delicious, hot and tasty. Service was good and the waitress was very pleasant, had good mannerism and professional with detail to customer care.Yakatoryai sticks were lovely hot, tender and tasty. Beef bourgonan was served with rice and was hot and flavoursome, the fish and chips looked great served in a wooden box, but was very fatty and needed to be drained for longer as it was swimming in oil which spoilt the chips and was a big dissappoint for one family member. The Bora Bora pizza was great as was the childrens chicken lolly pops.The cookie dough dessert served in a skillet was a great hit and very tasty.Overall, a lovely meal with family,but would avoid the fish and chips.

Firstly let be start by saying the food was delicious, it always is here!! Today we rolled up at lunchtime without booking and we’re offered a table in the bar, not a problem, should have booked for the garden but was happy to take where we could. It was just lack of service our waitress was actually quite nice but we were sat for15 minutes before having our drinks order taken and then a further 15 minutes before our food order was taken! Food arrived after a while and we had the large steak yakitori sticks! Delicious however we were not offered steak knives or sauces and the younger weightless rolled her eyes when I asked for plates to put our food on, I suppose we could have eaten off the table!! We were never offered anymore drinks and waited ages for the bill, so I’d say a delicious meal slightly ruined by mediocre service, but we would still return for the food !!

The meal was tasty and hot and the service was very efficient. The waiter was called gino and he was very attentive and friendly. It is so beautifull in this pub with different sections to eat, the pub area, the garden room with large trees indoor or the mature garden up steps. I would of gave 5 stars but we ordered the mini kebabs and ordered cajun chicken, duck, cod and lamb but wen it came the battered cod with tartar sauce and mushing peas was actually beer battered chicken. Luckily I like chicken but this could of been bad if u only eat fish and not meat. The child's meal was suppose to be chicken and she got fish something must have gone wrong with the order somewhere. The pudding kebab was amazing I had the cookie dough one and loved it.

I visited the village of Repton with an old friend, we had both formerly been pupils of the school that takes over much of the village. We chose to have lunch here and I’m very glad we did. A wonderfully cosy pub with a vast and varied menu. My friend opted for the pizza and I for the fish and chips, both were very happy with our choices. Dogs are also welcome and they kindly brought a bowl of water over for him. As other diners reviews have mentioned, please bear in mind that if someone chooses to order pizza then this will arrive before any of the other main courses. However, the server does make this clear at the time of ordering. If it is important that you both eat together then either both order pizza or both order from the wider menu. A very pleasant and relaxed vibe and would certainly return again.

Pizza? Or not pizza? If you want your food to arrive for all the table at the same time, you have to all order from the pizza menu or...not from the pizza menu. To be fair, the menu does make this clear. All was good to start with-warm welcome, and excellent service for my first drink, and ordering. Then the wheels fell off. I ordered some pizza-bread to start. Before I'd finished that, my pizza arrived. This was left to cool on my table, while I finished the pizza-bread. When I'd finished my pizza bread, nobody came to collect the plate, so I had to put it on a chair, and personally transfer the pizza over to my place. I left shortly afterwards.

My dad has wanted to visit here for a giant yakatori stick for almost 2 years, sadly yesterday meal did not live up to expectations. The service was excellent, but sadly we were served cold, chewy steak and macaroni cheese that was tasteless and resembled something that is made my pouring over hot water, sadly also cold. It’s such a shame as the food is normally really nice, hopefully this is just a blip, admittedly it will take a while for us to return.

Had a lovely meal tonight, couldn't fault the starter or main meals in anyway. I had the burger, my son the pizza (17th birthday) and my wife the fillet steak skewer. However, the creme brulee was poor, it looked dry. The worst part was as I left, I went to the toilet, see picture. That is a dryer which I doubt has ever been cleaned. I used to know a resturanter who said to me, always check the toilets out before you eat, it will tell you a lot about what the kitchens are like!

So I’m very sorry to say but after this evening I will, never ever buy, drink, or spend another penny of my money at the Bulls Head Pub in Repton again! The last time I ate here was with our family last week when they still had the marquee in the car park, and you could sit outside to eat. So, this evening we popped down to order some pizzas for our family, and asked to have a drink whilst we waited for the order to be made if possible! The person on the entrance said he would not take our order and asked us to wait in the car outside as we could not enter because there was already somebody ordering pizza where the bar is! He said he would come and get us. I explained we did not have a car and I asked if we could stand in the doorway out of the way or sit at the huge empty table which is in the opening/entrance and not inside without anybody sitting at it ? Again that was a “no” as apparently there were a couple currently ordering a pizza and I quote “once they had ordered they were going to come and sit and wait at that large table) which was empty and incidentally could have sat those two people along with myself and my friend both parties at each end and still be socially distanced and not breaking any rules (according to the guidance and rules set out by gov.Uk) it was that big ! The table was virtually outside because it was in the walkway between the bar and the upstairs seating area! “ so actually met all of the requirements for ventilation, considering that had been used historically as a smoking area! If you’ve been there you’ll know where I mean! So to cut a long story short! I asked him why the pub had not made sufficient provision for anyone wanting to order take away pizza especially considering you cannot call ahead and order (which if we could have, we would have not needed to wait in the first place! ) and I told him it makes no sense?? Quite simply I believe because I asked questions and asked to speak to the manager which apparently I was told that he was the manager! I was then told he no longer would sell me takeaway pizzas! lol I actually asked him if he was joking! Let’s just say that I now will never ever set foot in the Bulls Head Again!There are plenty more amazing pubs in this village that clearly have nicer people working with them and if they don’t want our money then that is fine!!! We understand!Btw just to make it clear I am very respectful of the rules surrounding Covid and also I have personally provided professional advice and products and worked throughout this whole pandemic for many blue chip companies and front line workers so I completely understand and respect the rules set out by our government and also from a business prospective and the rules we have to follow. That so called manager I believe was just being an absolute jobsworth ARSE I hope that anyone using this establishment receives a far better service in the future.

This was the place of our first date and also the first place we went to when restrictions lifted!

They do some really fun cocktails and their outdoor area has been done really well with lots of fairy lights and a good atmosphere.

This was our first time going 'out out' since restrictions have been lifted, allowing 6 people outside. I booked a table for 4 in the garden marquee. It was so beautifully decorated with hundreds of fairy lights which must have taken forever to put up! The Covid procedures in place made you feel very safe. There is no heating though so wrap up warm and maybe take a blanket! The menu is pizza and starters only at the moment (which you are made aware of at the time of booking) and the pizzas were huge, fresh and really delicious. Our waiter Harry was really friendly and helpful with a great sense of humour and we had a really lovely, relaxed night in an environment that was made so pretty and welcoming despite the Covid situation. Well done to all the staff and management, you're doing an amazing job!

...what pub only has one ale on? In all seriousness, the food was very good - yakatori sticks were lovely as a starter, the pizzas were massive (did lunch the next day as well), delicious toppings, although a wee bit softer than I would like in the middle.Service was fine, perhaps a little random (drinks sat on the bar for five minutes, and our waiter walked past them at least three times), although it was busy (which is a good sign).But pubs need a range of beers.Would visit again.

You can rarely go wrong if you want to go to the bulls head and take friends who haven't been there before. The staff are well trained and very polite, the food is always good and served hot and it's a super all round experience.We had steak which was wonderfully cooked and presented.I have one suggestion ..... eating in the raised pavillion in the garden is almost a magical grotto experience, quite lovely, but some tables do not have adequate lighting for guests to clearly see what they are eating. Appropriately angled spot lights for those tables would be perfect.Other than that ...... it's always a special experience.

Just been for dinner to celebrate my granddaughter becoming a teenager. What a let down it turned out to be. Over 2 hours for 1 course and complete frustration at no one wanting to let us pay and escape. At a time when we are trying to support our hospitality industry this place just got a big fail. Now the food was great, so well done to the kitchen staff but the waiting on team were a shambles After being sat down with no menus after 10 minutes we were asked for a drinks order. Once a menu arrived we swiftly made our choices but then 10 minutes later repeat for food, how are we supposed to order if you dont tell us the choices? Later 2 pizzas.appeared but no pizza cutters, pretty fundamental and after asking for some it took 5 minutes . 15 minutes later the rest of the food arrived from the kitchen. We all enjoyed the food and for 20 minutes all was fine. Then the fun started,as the kids were getting fes up we opted to get the bill . We.asked 3 times and waited and waited. Meanwhile the area by the pizza oven had become a social area for those seeking to avoid any form of eye contact. We probably could have left and taken table and chairs without anyone noticing. Finally we went to the bar to pay ,sorry no gratuity tonight. It's easy to blame young people but as managers this is your problem to solve. We were shown no attention or courtesy all night and feel for 92 quid we deserved better. Even the balloons we were promised on booking failed to make an appearance. Sorry there wont be a next time, we have found far better alternatives through this pandemic where our custom is appreciated

We went here on the 4th of October for my Mrs birthday. All 6 of us came out saying how good the food was, we could not fault any of it.Prices of food are slightly more than most other pubs however the food is so good and so is the service you don't mind paying that extra few pound. Its not expensive but just slightly more than the typical pubs around the area. This pub has a very good reputation and can be hard to get a table we booked a week in advance and struggled but then again there was 6 of us so book well in advance is my biggest tip. Lastly our server was Harry, dead nice lad who was really positive and smiley which made a huge difference. Overall definitely coming here again

A birthday meal where the food was frankly disappointing. We had the small Yakatori sticks. The duck ones were inedible - hard, gristly meat which couldn't be bitten or cut through. The same with the prawns. The mini burger sliders were ok - but had lots of very fatty, thick, salty bacon which I had to remove. The salt though has permeated the burger. I had to leave quite a bit. We didn't complain as it was a birthday meal for my son and we wanted to not ruin by complaining. We left quite a bit of food which the indifferent waiter would have noticed when he asked if we'd enjoyed our meals?!? Poor food, top end price.

Eaten here several times and always love the food - pizzas are huge and taste really nice. The last time we visited we had about a 30 minute wait before anyone came to take our order and we were told not too get up from our table to ask at the bar how much longer it might be so this was a little frustrating.

We booked here as we used to love coming before lockdown. No masks worn at all by staff the tables are not 2 metres apart at all and staff stand right next to your table. This was our first night out since March and I didn’t feel safe at all. We certainly won’t be returning untill this is over. Can you tell me why cheap chain pubs are putting in the correct measures and protecting their customers but ur carrying on like nothing has happened . Ruined our anniversary meal

Hubby and I booked in for a date night dinner and thoroughly enjoyed all of our courses. Table service was great as usual and all of the food arrived hot, fresh and absolutely delicious!We felt very safe and was reassured to witness staff members disinfecting tables in between guests.I just have to say a very special thank you to the lovely Matt who was incredibly kind and attentive to me when unfortunately at the end of our meal I came over quite unwell and passed out while trying to exit the restaurant. We always enjoy our visits and we are looking forward to coming again!

We've eaten here probably 10 times over the last few years. The staff are very friendly and courteous. The menu is wide and varied, the addition of the Pizza oven downstairs has only added to its appeal.

Lovely atmosphere in the Long Horn restaurant. We had a family meal and we all loved it. We had the fillet steak sticks with sides and my daughter had the burger. Henry was very attentive and extremely helpful.... making our visit so much more pleasurable. He went over and above to ensure we were happy and had everything we needed. Fairly priced.... The pudding are huge and just as amazing!

This is now our third visit and each time let down by the food Beef borguine terrible taste. Garden room is beautiful but in some areas too dark you can’t even read the menu. This last visit we sat out on the terrace which was lovely, although disappointed that none of the staff were wearing masks as in other dining venues. The open steak sandwich was very mediocre on what can only be described as soggy bread. The only good food is the pizzas and whilst ok for my children I don’t want to eat pizza when I eat out.

Visited with family this was the first time we had eaten out since lockdown and we were a little apprehensive but we needn’t have worried. Staff were on from the moment we arrived, we were checked in quickly and with all details given for track and trace. We were shown to our table and given menus. The staff are all friendly and are doing a fabulous job. Food as usual was amazing all in all a nice visit.

A lovely greeting and overall very friendly staff. It wasn’t enough to overcome the problems we had with the food unfortunately. Our starters had a hair in it which was a shame. They were very good at sorting us a new starter quickly. The pizzas were very tasty and big! Unfortunately they brought us the wrong bill 2 times. The first was completely the wrong bill, the second was the correct bill with extra items we didn’t eat and the third time was the correct bill. Definitely has potential for a 5 star review though. I certainly will try and go back.

I have taken advantage of the Eat Out To Help Out scheme quite a lot during August, and I must say dinner at The Bulls Head Horbury was the first time I have felt that quality was not watered down. My pork belly dinner was delicious, we were looked after by Sue and treated brilliantly despite the heavy traffic of diners. We will be back, discount incentive or not X

Not impressed. The Bull's Head used to be a lovely experience but it's become so pretentious. Very dark in the garden room, which seems rather an oxymoron. Club sandwich was over-cooked and so dry it was sent back. Didn't bother having a replacement. The chips, however, are delicious. Won't be rushing back.

Me, 0my girlfriend who's birthday it is and my two year old daughter were turned away after we had booked a table on 3rd Aug, we were sent confirmation emails and messages last being today at 7:50am, non of these stated the fact that cash was no longer being accepted. We heard through passing staff that the cash only policy had started today and as we booked the table a while ago we weren't aware of this. We spoke to who we think was a manager who showed us an updated set of site rules and the updated email. This was obviously what would of been sent for a booking made today! NOT A FEW WEEKS BACK. During dealing with us the "manager" disappeared and obviously expected us to have gone as when she came back 10 minutes later as she was visibly surprised to see us. On both occasions we spoke to this lady she was incredibly rude and was trying to lay the blame on us for not reading the rules which we did at the time of booking, neither our emails or covid care policy on the 3rd Aug or the reminder sent this morming specified the no cash policy. This is incredibly disappointing as we had been looking forward to this meal since booking it given the current circumstances. We also noticed that masks were not being enforced at all and we were pretty much the only people wearing masks. Dissatisfied to say the least. We will not be returning.

Read a post on Facebook advertising takeaway pizza to help start up the re opening of the bulls head after lockdown. Facebook messaged to ask how this is done and they said it’s just a pop down, order and take home. Arrived no clear in and out signs, didnt no where I was supposed to go so i waited for a member of the public to come out and asked them, to only find out they came out the entrance and thought it was funny. Was great with a smile and I asked where I go to order pizza. I went to the bar picked 5 pizzas 3 of which apparently you don’t do as takeaway.... nothing on the website about this and nothing mentioned through Facebook. Also I found out we have to cook them at home which is fine if I was told or saw on the website but nothing said this until I was face to face to order. I asked if I could have a plain pizza made with just peppers and onion and I have a veggie with us and they said they would ask the pizza chef. The women came back and said I’m very lucky it’s the nice pizza chef tonight.... ummm ok. Anyway I pay go home and find chicken on my veggie pizza. Wow!! The staff at the bar were lovely and the women who greeted me apon arrival but the manager was just plain rude. Unwelcoming presents and extremely sarcastic.

Staff were very nice and helpful, particularly Ross. Cocktails were good, shame about the missing ducky on our bathtub cocktail! We ordered the brownie and cookie dough sticks as pudding and were disappointed to find that they weren’t warm and didn’t come with chocolate dipping sauce as the menu suggested - just a tiny bit for decoration. We also wanted to sit in the garden room but was told we could only sit there if we were eating but it was empty when we departed. Slight improvements could be made considering the popularity of the place but overall nice visit.

We visited the Bulls Head last night and we had a really enjoyable evening.All the staff are very friendly and attentive, our server Ross couldn't do more for us and he did a really good job. We thought there might be a longer wait for the food because it was so busy due to the eat out to help out scheme but we really didn't wait long at all for our food to arrive. We were in the garden room, it is such a lovely restaurant and creates a really nice atmosphere. I went for the chicken yakatori stick and it was delicious, definitely something I'd recommend! We also had a few desserts and they were a great way to finish the evening.All Covid measures were in place, social distancing, hand sanitiser etc so it felt like a safe place to eat out.We really enjoyed our visit and we are looking forward to coming again!

Today after eating dinner at home we decided to get a pudding somewhere different! As it was late, all other pubs had stopped serving food however the bulls head serves food and drinks till late -even with covid. We were sat outside as it was busy - the staff were nice and warned us it may rain soon (and did a couple of times -if was nice that even thought it was busy they had time for us!). I think our main waiter was called Tom, he was very smiley and there was another young chap who later helped us move to a table under cover (i didnt catch his name but was left at about 9:45 and he almost didn't put the 50% off on for us -he had brown hair and glasses -if you get him as your waiter you are lucky because he was lovely!). Overall,a really nice night, lovely food,great staff and the setting was gorgeous-PERFECT FOR INSTAGRAM PICS!.

Me and 2 friends had booked to go for food and drinks. Table was booked at 7:15pm which my friend had booked for us. When arrived I noticed there was no hand sanitiser on entry. After waiting for the people in front to be seated we was asked the booking name and how many of us there was and if we was from the same from house hold. We said 3 as we all live in different homes but thought this wasn’t an issue as were a bubble. The man on front was rude and spoke down to us when we said we was from 3 different house holds. He said we would have to sit outside as its policy. We sat out and heard a couple complaining there food was cold which concerned us. We hadn’t dressed for outdoor weather in the evening as thought we would be sat in side as nothing was said to us upon booking about different house holds. We thought we would try suck it up as we wanted to enjoy a nice meal. When the waitress came I asked for a drinks menu and was told there is none. So hand to look online what we wanted. It took half hour for drinks to arrive and by this time we was all freezing. The manger was speaking to the couple next to us who had complained about their food. When she had finished we pulled her over and asked why we have to sit out side when we could see a table in side near the open doors (so the air was still circulated) she said we could sit inside if one of us sat on another table! We did not go out together for one of us to sit on our own across the room. We tried to suck it up and enjoy our night. After an hour we finally got someone to take our order which we eventually asked for it to be takeout as by this time we was all shivering and freezing cold and just wanted to go home. While I understanding they are following “rules” these rules need to be made clearer on the website and upon booking! I also didn’t think it made much sense that we could walk through the restaurant to get to the outdoor area but couldn’t sit inside surly the harm had already been done? However food was lovely as usual and waitress was polite and sweet.

As my heading suggests, I can't fault the food. All the individuals in our group enjoyed their meals which were well presented and genererously portioned. So why the average rating?Well, firstly: the service was slow; we waited too long for our food, drinks and bill. A drinks order was also forgotten.However, the main reason for the 3 stars is the apparent lack of obvious C19 Virus safety measures (apart from a wait in the pouring rain whilst the details of diner's in front of us were slowly taken). No staff wore gloves or masks. No obvious hand sanitiser was available (if it was, I missed it and I was looking, therefore it needs to be made more obvious). Tables were not disinfected between sittings (due to the wait for our food and drinks we saw several diners leave and new ones arrive). But most unacceptably of all: the toilets were absolutely GRIM and disgustingly filthy. In the midst of a global pandemic, I want to feel safe and comfortable when I dine out (which I have in other establishments where safety and risk mitigation measures were clearly taken), I felt anything but here and was very glad to leave.

Table booked for 6.30pm, yes we were 20 minutes early so seated in the garden for drinks. Apparently drinks menu unavailable so ordered from the menu online. My daughter and I had cocktails and my son and husband beer. When the drinks arrived both my daughter aged 22 and son aged 24 were asked for ID. My son queried as he was dining and with his parents and was told by the waiter this was company policy. The only ID he had was a photo of his passport on his mobile phone, which was accepted. At 60+ I suppose it is still possible I could have had a son 16 but even so it did sour the start if the evening. We eventually arrived at the table 15 - 20 minutes later than booked and order food. My piazza arrived but 3 others took at least another 15 minutes, apologies were given but even so I had nearly finished when the others arrived. Stopped at the ladies on the way out, floor swimming with water, not good. Have to say I have not been out since lockdown and felt very deflated after this experience.

Repton is a lovely Derbyshire town with the Bulls Head nestled perfectly into the high street. Deceptively, large this pub offers about 3 different areas. We dined in a stunning room, in which one wall was adorned with wooden beer / drinks crate ends such as Britvic, the perfect setting. Service was great, our table host Olivia was full of smiles and could not do enough to help and the food was amazing. I have dined at the equally great sister pub before, The Joiners Arms, Quarndon before but, this is even closer to my home. My advice, don’t hesitate!

Met here on a Monday night for a birthday meal. Track and trace details were recorded prior to being seated and menus were given out.Choices were made and several rounds of drinks were ordered as well as food.The food was amazing as ever but service was a little slow despite being quiet and the drinks were all brought out individually and handed to each person.I would describe this as far from best practise as the full tray of drinks could have been brought out as one with each person taking them from the tray.Other than that the food quality was very good as we have come to expect.

Amazing!We booked a table for 7pm, the restaurant was very busy, however our table was ready for our time. Our waiter for the evening was Darren- compliments to him! He was so professional and continued to provide for the whole evening. We then ordered our food! The order was huge! And it all arrived correctly. Darren then checked up on us a few times throughout the evening and provided extra drinks and was very fast with drinks that we did order! The extra hygiene precautions were taken as I saw the staff cleaning the tables regularly and sanitising hands. Obviously going out around this horrible event that taking over the world is worrying but we felt the restaurant was clean and safe for it! We came to the bulls head this time last year for the same event of early birthday x2, wedding anniversary and Mother’s Day! And we will definitely be returning!

We have made several trips for lunch lately and have been very impressed with the new menu. Seriously amazing food, a warm welcome, excellent service , and being made to feel totally at ease. Its the little things that make the difference and the team go all out to make it an event for you. The menu caters for all tastes- traditional and experimental - and the price is more than reasonable- Recommend the fish dishes, and sherry trifle, and then there is the brownie with ice cream. Planning our next visit already!
