The Bull's Head in Bromley

The Bulls Head is always our go to place for Sunday lunch. This week was very disappointing. We ordered two roast beefs, one fish and chips and one steak and ale pie. The roast beef, was awful, it was so tough it couldn't cut, and was hard to swollow. The veg that you get with it was a dish of cabbage with a few peas added in it. Normally you would get a selection of veg, broccoli, peas, cabbage. All in all the roast dinner was a disappointment. We were offered extra beef, but it was still the same too tough, so that was left as well. We were offered two free desserts, and the not charged for the beef just the veg we ate, but to be honest it was a disappointing meal, as it is always one we usually look forward to.

We held my Mum's wake at The Bull's Head. Couldn't fault it from beginning to end. A great team, who provided first class service, excellent food and made sure it all ran smoothly. Thank you

A lovely lunch as always in The Bulls Head, nice atmosphere, great food and friendly service. An excellent choice on the menu so difficult to choose

Went for my mates 24th birthday good atmosphere it want to hectic like most pubs you can say it’s a pub for posh people haha

As soon as we got there we were ignored waiting to be checked in to the restaurant. We then sat down and while waiting for my son wasn’t asked if we wanted a drink for ages. The service was extremely slow considering the restaurant wasn’t full. The cauliflower cheese was forgotten as was a glass of wine. We had those deducted off of the bill. We didn’t bother with desert as we had been there for some time. Extremely disappointing as it was Mother’s Day

Nice service throughout my meal. From the moment I was seated, they were attentive and knowledgeable about the menu, offering insightful recommendations Thanks

Had a great family get together and I brought a dog with me. Never been to a more dog friendly hotel. The room had a dog water bowl and a bowl with dog treats in it. There was also a dog bed for him. Around the hotel and bars there were more treats and water plus toys. Also the human food, service and staff were excellent

Great setup inside and outside and the quality of food and service was excellent. Definitely go back. Also dog friendly.

Great early Mother’s Day lunch. Excellent service Recommend

Held a small wake at the Bull's Head, they really looked after us. Food was excellent and the ladies looking after us were outstanding, nothing was too much trouble and they really friendly and welcoming. Thank you Steve G

All of the service that these guys laid on was superb - we stayed one night, had breakfast then had the family for coffee and pastries - then after the funeral we had lunch together ... staff were incredibly helpful and the food was excellent. The decor. and furniture really needs a major reburb. - its really quite tired right now - apart from that we were treated really well.

For the money afternoon tea was great! Atmosphere is cosy, although it was a little noisy. There was so much food, smaller scones would be a good idea and maybe not so much cake a panne cotta thrown into the mix might be good.

Come in for a birthday meal on the 1st March in the restaurant and was greeted with smiles. Melanie, Trish and izzie gave the best customer service, they were kind and caring and catered to our needs exactly, thank you!!!

Excellent food and service. We were a party of 13 and the food came at the same time and was hot. The ladies serving us were helpful and polite. A very enjoyable experience

We decided to book the Bulls Head for my late fathers wake on February 21st from 3 pm. The choice of food is quite extensive and high quality. We used the ballroom and attached bar. The staff looked after us very well. I would certainly be happy to book again. Thank you George and Jayne. Depending on the number of attendees the car park can be a little pot luck.

Wonderful setting and good friendly service but unfortunately the afternoon tea was disappointing. I booked it after a couple of friends had recommended it but the scones were rock hard and the cakes were very dry. The friend I went with had been before and said it had been much better then, so maybe we were just unlucky.

Our little group had a lovely lunch in a nice setting, the service was attentive & friendly. Would recommend it and we will be returning again another time.

Two years later, and a recent return visit to the Bull’s Head by my husband and I was made just as enjoyable as the previous one , thanks to the wonderful staff and excellent standard of accommodation the hotel offers to guests. We stayed four nights & had lovely breakfasts and evening meals from menus offering a good choice of dishes , served by friendly and helpful staff. A special mention goes to Lavinia in the hotel restaurant, who was so friendly and welcoming and made our dining experiences even more enjoyable. The reception staff are so pleasant and always willing to help you with any queries you may have… nothing is too much trouble for them. Whenever we are in the area, The Bull’s Head will , without a doubt, be our first choice hotel. We look forward to our next return visit!

Lovely place. Atmosphere good, waitresses friendly, but service was poor. Waited an hour, after our starters, to receive our mains. Other customers who came after us got served before us. When questioned we were told it was very busy, busier than was anticipated. Surely if that was the case customers should have been told on arrival.

We arrived earlier than our booked time and the staff accommodated us and gave us a table in the Conservatory that we had originally requested! Waitress was lovely and very helpful I had a roast beef dinner which was lovely, however the meat had a lot of fat on it which I did mention at the end of the meal. They offered us a coffee which we declined as we had had a long day and wanted to get home When the bill came they took off the 2 half pints of Lime and Sodas! The waitress said we should’ve had champagne!😅 Overall a good visit but do think they could’ve reduced the bill a little bit more Won’t stop me going though!

We went here last night for my nans birthday. This got off badly with a 45 min wait for our starters. Not a waitress in sight. Went to find them and they was all laughing around a bowl of chips out the back. When I questioned why our food was taking so long I was told the kitchens busy with orders from the pub. Very rude young lady clearly incompetent at her job. Firstly don’t have a restaurant if you can’t cope with both. A restaurant by the way that was not even half full. When our starters did arrive one had been forgotten and the soup was stone cold in a red hot bowl that had obviously been in the microwave. After another long wait for mains the service improved slightly as we had complained so we were now frequently being asked if we would like drinks. However the mains were just as dire. Steaks and burgers that were raw in the middle when both asked for well done. Again the food was barely warm. And two steak pies that needed a hammer and chisel to get through the inedible hard pastry. We should’ve known at this point not to bother with desserts. But we ordered anyway. The apple and fig crumble looked like baby food. And the sticky toffee pudding was a dry microwaved sponge with no toffee sauce so dry as old boots. We also ordered two espresso martinis which we were told wouldn’t be long as they had to pop out and get the ingredients. Mix in filthy rotten toilets and a £70 per head bill. We will never be back. Having been frequent customers of the bull for years we had infact tried to book the function room for our grandfathers wake next week. After last nights performance my nan is so relieved you was fully booked for this event as she would have been petrified to what turn out it was going to be. We’re never a family to complain in resteraunts or leave a review to be honest. But this was inexcusable. Don’t waste your time and money!

Excellent service,easy going ambience, good food. Birthday celebration for my husband with family - would definitely recommend to all 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Pint of Guinness and glass of wine £18 absolute rip off. I can see why the pub is harf empty, people have one drink now. Due to the greed of the pub.

Had a lovely afternoon tea for 80th birthday celebration. Great selection. Great service. Good value. Loved the presentation. Would recommend

Lovely meal at the Bulls Head, fish and chips was amazing will defiantly visit again and great service from a lovely waitress Alannah !

Great Sunday roast dinner. The food was sooo good. I got the half chicken and it was yummy and not dry, great potatoes and veg. Everyone got different things from the beef to the veg option and there was no complaints. Staff friendly and accommodating

Great place 😃. Especially lovely lady behind bar beforehand and our waitress(first class)

We had the wake following my Fathers funeral at The Bull’s Head. Fantastic service from all the staff. We had the smaller extended room at the front of the pub, which was beautifully arranged, cozy and welcoming. A big thanks to Lorraine, who looked after...

We came in for Burns Night which was a lovely experience-my partner had the Scottish food while I ordered from the regular menu.The food was delicious-please make the portions bigger as I could have had some more😁Must mention Emily as she was lovely and helpful!Looking...

Arrived around 8pm last night tables needed a good clean, Bar was sticky and needed a clean . Glasses were not cleared from tables. upholstery in poor condition . Considering this is not a cheap pub , I would have expected more, very disappointing

Enjoyed our first visit to this place- large bar area with many tables. Friendly service and good food. Perhaps more gluten free dishes on menu would have been helpful. The chicken supreme with fondant potato was really tasty, the haddock sandwich was really good and...

Overall my friend and I enjoyed everything about the afternoon tea we had. The waitress did say that if we needed anymore clotted cream or jam to just ask, and we did in the end. Lovely well packed sandwiches. Big scones, a really nice selection of little cakes. Asked many times if we wanted more tea, so very happy to recommend.

Food was lovely, unfortunately we waited a hour and a half for any food to arrive, the waitress was amazing and was clearly embarrassed as she brought over bread and butter and the poor lady was left completely on her own in the whole restaurant...

Went for lunch on Boxing Day. Was left sitting at our table for ages and was missed out on main course until having to prompt the waitresses. Was a bit chaotic and unprepared for the amount of diners

We had a fabulous visit delicious food and fabulous service thank you 🙏🏼

Went to the NYE dinner to see in new year .Staff were great and attentive ,food good and general ambiance was as expected from past years , was a good turn out which added to the party feel . Slight concern was the singer ,she...

We’ve used the Bulls Head for decades and our parents we love the pms e

Sunday roast is great, outside that, incredibly mediocre. Always has about two thirds of the required staff on shift. Tables often don't even get cleared and you're sitting around people's dirty plates in the pub. Not the fault of those working, the fault of those planning the staffing.

The staff at the Bull hosted the annual Christmas lunch for 20 members of the knitting group on 12th December. From booking and planning the event, Amy on the front desk could not have been more helpful - she managed food choice alterations and last...

Great service and food, not always a thing when very busy but pleased to say the Bull's Head managed it in style. Excellent visit

Lovely dinner. Generous portion of meat. Carrots were all mashed up which was strange. Only one parsnip and about 5 sprouts, but I was full after eating it. Spuds were ok, not as good as my mum's though lol Waiting staff were second to none, really excellent. Lovely atmosphere although the music wasn't Christmassy as they didn't know how to change the play list. The decor is beautiful albeit a tad grubby. Needs a refurb soon I think. The seat where we sat looked very stained from spillages etc.. We'd gone to a Harvester the day before, and The Bull's Head was in a different class. We'll definitely go again!

We had the most fantastic Christmas dinner, all the staff were so cheery and kind, it really did help make our Christmas, the food was out of this world!

Excellent....as ever. Super lunch with very personable and proficient service. Lovely atmosphere too. Thank you and well done.

Christmas Day lunch, waited 50 minutes for the starter which only arrived after I chased, also had to chase the main course. Despite the best efforts of the waiting team you could see the confusion as they chatted and looked around at the seated tables,...

Went to the bulls head for the Christmas menu. Unfortunately this was not the best first experience eating here, we were seated an hour after our booked time and our mains were bought over before our starters. When received our starters the burrata was not very nice, this was expressed to the staff who kindly did assist with adjusting our bill. The main course of a Christmas feast did taste more like a microwave meal and the crumble I could only eat the topping and not the filling. Even though the food was not so great the service was.

Four of us, two couples, met up for drinks and dinner on the Thursday afternoon before Christmas. I had the pate for starters, which was very good. My wife had the Curried Parsnip soup, which she said was delicious. She had the Chicken dish for...

My wife and I went for dinner last night. As it was the last Saturday before Christmas we expect it to be busy and we were right. The restaurant was full of friends celebrating Christmas and work parties, and the waitresses were run off their feet all night. And yet the service was excellent throughout as was the standard of the food which we thoroughly enjoyed. We’ll done to all at the Bulls Head!

After a mix up with our booking due to the website being so bad we were able to have the Christmas lunch that we were expecting thanks to the helpful lady on reception. The Christmas ‘feast’ was underwhelming though. The winter salad was inedible. Tough chard stalks and no dressing. The turkey main was incredibly salty and came with just 4 Brussels sprouts as the veg. We asked for cranberry sauce only to be told that they had run out the previous day! That is pretty unacceptable when there is a Sainsbury’s up the road. We won’t be returning!

Food was served just warm told waitress but was only offered for it to be put in a microwave. Feels a bit steep to pay £20 for a steak pie and have it served like warm.

I visited with 3 friends for a Christmas lunch and table was spacious and comfortable with service and food excellent so could not fault anything

Fantastic survive and wonderful food. A really comfortable place to be!

Efficient and pleasant service, good food & drink at reasonable prices. This was a repeat visit as the location is relatively local to our party and easy to get to.

Lovely Evening spent here with 21 ladies from the WI and couldn't fault it. Food and service were excellent. The ladies had a lovely evening.

Really tasty lunch. Nice room , warm and welcoming. The staff were very patient as we kept changing to no of guests due to illness. No problem.

Lovely food but inside was not. Despite calling to confirm eating area we were seated through the bar in the far dining area which was dark dingy and a thoroughfare. We ate our main course and left quickly. So many nicer places to eat in...

We held a Christmas ladies’ lunch here for nearly 50 people - the ballroom looked magnificent and the food and service were excellent! Sincere thanks to Events Manager George and team, the chefs and everyone involved for making it a wonderful festive occasion!

Good food and excellent service from helpful staff.

First visit for lunch with friends. Would definitely visit again.

14 of us went for Sunday lunch one person has allergies it was mentioned on booking on the day the waitress asked if any one had allergies when the Turkey roast was served half of it was missing with no replacements at the end of...

Afternoon Tea for Two Great service after a short wait to be seated. For £25 per person I was not expecting one Scone each and with such small portions of cream/jam. Not good value for money at all. The sandwiches were great and that’s what has boosted the ‘food’ aspect to three stars, but the cakes did not taste fresh (possibly previously frozen from the mushy/dense textures). I would come back to try the restaurant as the atmosphere was great and the service was solid, but I will not be coming back for the afternoon tea unfortunately.

The worst meal I have ever had. I am celiac and there was no menu of any sort for me to look at I had to rely on chef doctoring my orders. My prawn cocktail could not have mayo so I had glass of shredded...

Avoid the afternoon tea!! Went for Christmas do for work the bread on the sandwiches was hard and more butter then filling. The manager said the bread was delivered that day and our sandwiches were freshly made that morning. They made us another 4 fingers...

The Ladies all enjoyed their dinner, in nice surroundings, staff were friendly, all in all a good experience.

Lovely, helpful staff and good food. A little too noisy but it is almost December!

Lovely afternoon tea. Would definitely recommend. Fresh sandwiches, delicious scones and cute little cakes.

Afternoon tea to celebrate daughter's 40th. Waitress was unhelpful, gave her orders and she came back with missing items then denied that I had asked for them when I had gone over order with her 3 times! The scones she brought us were rock hard,...

Very enjoyable family lunch on Sunday to celebrate an 85th birthday. More than generous portions of food with freshly cooked vegetables and excellent Yorkshire puds. Not much room for desserts but the apple crumble was delicious. Service excellent. Friendly but efficient with glasses regularly topped up and water jugs replenished. Bread selection fresh and interesting.

Good food, excellent service. The waitresses were very pleasant and efficient as usual. Will go back again.

Came on a Sunday for a roast which was amazing, definitely recommend the Camembert served in a whole loaf of bread. Loved that we could grab a drink in the lounge bar Infront of the fire before heading home. Really good food, fab service and cosy atmosphere. Will deffo be back x

Restaurant was lovely. Food was fantastic and staff were very attentive. We were offered coffee and I was pleasantly surprised when they said that have oat milk as I am lactose intolerant

Excellent food, friendly and helpful staff. A good goto for Sunday lunch. Visiting family from NZ were impressed and loved the atmosphere.

I used to come to this pub/hotel as a regular in my younger days but have since moved away. It seemed ideal for a family get together and we were not disappointed. The bars are still very comfortable with the lounge bar particularly welcoming with...

Excellent, Best Sunday roast in London & South East. 5 Star for food, 5 Star for service, 5 Star for value. Highly recommended

Very good friendly and professional by the young lady in the restaurant area.

I have been to the Bulls Head over the years for dinner, lunch and afternoon tea and I have to say last nights (4.11.23) visit was the worst service we've ever had. I know they are probably training up waiting staff but it was one...

Food was excellent. Service was very slow we waited best part of an hour for our starters.

Very very very slow and haphazard service

Very good food - we had fish & chips and the sausages. Generous portions and very tasty. Good, attentive service too.

Afternoon tea was a disappointment, scones were very dry and only one small pot of ham and cream between two? Had to ask for teaspoons It was my birthday treat for a friend so didn’t want to make a fuss but previous afternoon teas there...

Had the haddock fish and chips The fish smelt of Ammonia I sent it back even though the server smelt it herself and insisted it had no smell which was irritating I then ordered a sausage sandwich which was poor dried deep fried sausage the...

Staff were helpful and efficient. Food tasty and well cooked although a little unadventurous it was totally acceptable for us.

Lovely food, slightly slow service but enjoyed our visit overall

We held a charity event for autistic young people in the function room of the Bull's Head and the evening was amazing. In particular, the staff were very understanding, accommodating and couldn't have been more helpful. A superb venue - highly recommended!

The amount of roast beef you get for the Sunday roast is a lot less than it used to be. Think and stringy. Very small amount of greens for two people. Potatoes were large and hard.

Grest venue for my leaving work breakfast , excellent food and attentive staff .

Everything was excellent from start to finish. We held a small wake for 30 people and it couldn’t have been any better. Both George and Jane were fantastic helping advise on food and drinks; on the day, both service and food were spot on. Jane...

If you are expecting a nice quiet meal chatting to friends, don’t go on a Saturday evening if tonight is anything to go by. Super loud, kids running about, the noise was really overwhelming. Shame as it’s a nice place. Food however seemed expensive, a chicken and bacon salad was £19.50. One of us had a chicken supreme at £23 and it was never worth £23 the size of it. (Photo attached, a chicken leg at best). Haddock was huge though and the food was fine. Wouldn’t be in a rush to go back though because of the noise. We could just have picked an off day though, but we really did keep having to speak close to each other and repeat ourselves because of the noise. No I’m not old and in my 70s and deaf either 🤪

George handled our booking. We opted for afternoon tea for 20 guests after the funeral. We had a lovely intimate room with a fully staffed bar, and the option to sit in the pretty garden if we wished. George catered for everything, sandwiches and cakes, tea & coffee on tap. It was ideal for our small family & friends. We also stayed overnight in room 16. It was a hot day & we needed the air conditioning on. The duvet was a high tog & we needed the air conditioning on during the night. Unfortunately it was too noisy, lots of gurgling & it kept us awake, so we didn’t sleep well. Also the wiring was exposed, which wasn’t very reassuring. We reported it in the morning to reception. Apart from that, it was a lovely decorated, clean, comfortable room with a walk in shower. The breakfast was delicious, plenty of choice, although it really did take far too long to arrive. There was only one girl on duty to take our orders. Having said that, I would go back & stay again.

Have eaten many times at the Bull's Head, so it was a pleasure to have another opportunity. As always, the food (and drink), service and atmosphere were impeccable. Despite visiting at 3pm on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon, the process of getting seated and served was quick and easy. The serving staff here are uniformly excellent - friendly, informative, and very efficient. The warning on the menu that "at busy times your food might be an hour" was ominous but on this occasion unwarranted, even though the restaurant was certainly busy. My "Scotch Bonnet" prawn cocktail starter was fine - a particularly delicious salad base although I would have preferred a little less salad and rather more prawns. I can't honestly say I thought the Marie Rose sauce was any zingier than other venues, but still very good. I chose the steak & ale pie which is outstanding: lots of tender steak chunks in a rich ale gravy, surrounded by perfect shortcrust pastry. Very tasty vegetable accompaniments. I have an intolerance to peas and the serving staff were very helpful in ensuring my meal was served without this standard item. I made the mistake of ordering an extra side of roast potatoes. There's really no need - the meal comes with a generous portion - but I did eat (most of) them. This unfortunately meant I wasn't able to sample the desserts on this visit. One of the highlights of visiting the Bull's Head is that they are one of very few establishments to offer top quality zero alcohol beers. As ever, the Erdinger was cold, tasty and refreshing. The one tiny fly in the appointment? As usual, parking was a nightmare, but what can they do when they have such a fine venue on a lovely autumn day? Will definitely be back.

First time for lunch here but won't be the last. Although the dining room was busy it was well staffed so that there was minimal waiting time. All the staff were polite, friendly and efficient. My partner had the Waldorf Salad which she said was great while I had the croquettes which were spot on. For mains she had the Roast beef and I had the Cobb salad, again both very good. I had the Raspberry Bakewell for dessert, delicious. To drink we had a bottle of Jealousy Pinot Noir which was really good, if a little pricey. We will definitely return, the quality of food was great and though not cheap was reasonable value for the quality.

We visited as a group of four, the whole experience was good however it’s just a shame that the place charges extortionate amounts for drinks. £7 for a beer/cider, really disappointing given it’s not in central London. The food is also very expensive for what it is, one course and a bottle of house wine between 4 cost nearly £40 a head.

Came here for a birthday meal with a party of 9, staff were very efficient and accommodating, food was absolutely lovely and short waiting time and staff were attentive throughout the evening to ask if we needed more drinks, teas, coffees etc! Would definitely recommend and will be returning!

Brilliant service for my dad's wake. The area provided was brilliant and the food was great. Perfect space for dad's wake, it was made to feel very personal for the occasion. My thanks to Jayne for making a very difficult day run smoothly. Would highly...

Great Sunday lunch! Plenty of variety, good quality, well served. Large portions. Reasonably priced for Sunday lunch.

Family meal to celebrate two birthdays. Nice table for 6 allocated, one for wheelchair. Warm welcome, Claudia was fantastic, friendly, efficient, really looked after the table for drinks, took orders and checked in. Really great service, faultless, food exceptional, pies and veg hot, roast hot and delicious, fish and chips excellent. Great food and service and will come back again.

We had a big family celebration in the restaurant last night, for 18 people. The waitresses were very helpful and friendly and the food was lovely; everybody’s dish was perfect and we all enjoyed our food a great deal. I guess the only thing I...

We hired the ballroom at the Bull’s Head in Chislehurst for my Dad’s wake. We met with George beforehand who helped us with planning - nothing was too much bother. On the day everyone said what a beautiful room it was and how lovely the food was. The two girls serving at the bar were so friendly and professional and made it a great afternoon. Thank you to all involved and would recommend to anyone.

Having visited previously for a lunch, we were looking forward to a great family celebration here. It was very poor. Service very slow, staff not bothered. Meals brought out in dribs and drabs one at a time. Long waits in between. Totally spoilt the day....

Just so happened to have found this gem of a place by accident and couldn't be happier that we did. The pub garden is outstanding. We had their plant based burgers and they are worthy of a standing ovation. So no matter who you bring, there's something for everyone. We'll certainly be back in the future.

We live locally so visit quite often to the bar or restaurant. I have to say not worth the money in the restaurant. We visited on Saturday night. The food is 3 star and the service is so flaky with very inexperienced staff. Young staff who have no idea how to treat customers or serve you. I didn't leave a tip as we were pretty much ignored the whole time we were there. I had to wave about 3 times to get someones attention. I might visit the bar again for a beer, but wouldn't go back to the restaurant again.
