Plates are very hot. Food excellent.

Very good no complaints good food good staff very polite never saw Marlon thou recommend this pub to any body brilliant

I absolutely love this pub, firstly food is fabulous and it comes out pipeing hot, Secondly absolutely love how Ian, Sharon, Jake, Millie and the rest of their team, go out of their way to make ur visit a great one, nothing is too much trouble, I would have no hesitation in recommending The Bulls Head at Smallwood

They had an awesome bikes, beer and bands festival on, plenty of nice beer, loads of room and great bar service. The breakfast was awesome, I ordered a bacon/egg butty and it was proper bacon, thick rashers and a really nice egg.

Wow, wot a brilliant time we had this weekend, dave, and I loved it 😀 ❤️ 😍

Great music no vegan choice though.

Absolutely Delicious Homemade Curry Rice and Chips And Cheese and Onion Homemade Flan with Salad and Chips and Big Bowl of Onion Rings.Thoroughly Enjoyed the Food.The Chef Delivered the Meals too Our Table Big Portions of Food !!!! And asked if Would Like any Sauces The Price was Very Good Too .Highly Recommend!!!!!.The Lady was Polite who Served us behind the Bar.Really Old Pub, got lots of Character too the Building also got a Log Fire for those Chiller Evenings.

We had the Bulls Head Burger and a beef and onion sandwich. It was lovely, and also the customer service was good. The staff were polite and friendly. I liked that we could sit further out on one of the benches outside, especially with smoking away from the kids' area and in the sun. Nice please to eat & drink 👍🏻

Had main meal coffee 1x coke 2x half's larger. No puds far to full. Haven't been for around 15 years but food is still excellent. Staff very welcoming.

Great good value food in a nice atmosphere

Nice quiet atmosphere, not too crowded at Friday lunchtime. Lovely food, freshly cooked. Friendly service.

Lovely meal...but a very large 1..

We drove through Smallwood on the way home after visiting Leeds. All five of us travelling were pretty hungry and the food did not disappoint! The menu was great, the food was outstanding and the service was excellent! Really enjoyed our visit to the bulls head and would definitely visit again!

Had a superb meal here last night Good food and attentive staff

We came one week and the food was 5/5, so we booked to come again the following week and the food was 3/5. I've averaged the scores with this review but we won't be returning again to find out whether it's normally 5/5 or normally 3/5.

Really nice roadside pub. Great stop off after Rode Hall. Nice to see a pub offer smaller portions as well.

Fantastic old style little pub with a great size beer garden with a play area which my son loved, the food is beautiful & get plenty of we will definitely be returning 😊

Lovely pub, with wholesome home cooked food, friendly staff & always accommodating 😊

A fantastic place to go! Great home cooked food, continously rotated good beers (often supporting local breweries), a really lovely atmosphere and just a great pub that we're lucky to have so close to us. These guys also have a variety of events both during the week and weekends, including live music, motorbike events and full weekend beer festivals. Get yourselves to The Bulls! 👍

This is a gem of a pub! Excellent choice of beers - Macclesfield and Cheshire East CAMRA pub of the year! The food is fantastic - home cooked perfectly and plenty of it! The service is friendly and attentive without being intrusive, Highly recommended

An excellent afternoon family birthday party. Good food, good service, (to the credit of the staff), good company (credit to the family of course). What stood out to me is that seventeen people ordered seventeen meals but eighteen meals were prepared; the landlady (or a senior staff member) went to great lengths to make sure no-one had been charged for this kitchen error. Many places would have taken the money and said nothing!

Seriously very good quality pub grub, well impressed

Had two lovely meals, burger and roast beef dinner. The roast beef was tender, lots of veg withpotatoes. It was as good as home made. Burger was large and tasty. Staff friendly and efficient. A lovely evening out

Lovely home cooked food and proper pub. Happy friendly staff always ready to help

Sorry to say it was cold and needs total refurbishment, just not welcoming at all. There were few customers for a large pub but still waited 30 minutes for a simple order. Meal was ok. Staff were pleasant. Wish I could have given a more positive review

Bullshead is lovely, Excellent food, lovely people, excellent service, Brilliant night, Highly recommended, thanks Ian & Poll

The pub looks tired and in need of some tlc. I know that it's a very old pub and there is only so much that can be done but it is certainly not warm and welcoming. The food I would say was , just OK and nothing special.

We are members of Crewe and Nantwich U3a walking group. We booked a table for 10 people and Jake and Millie couldn't have made us more welcome . They opened up so we could use the toilets and order our lunch before the walk .They also kindly allowed us to leave some cars on their carpark whilst we undertook the walk. On returning for our lunch we were given a warm welcome..led to our set table complete with jugs of water and glasses..and a roaring fire. The food was served at the time requested and all members said they had enjoyed the food which was served hot and tasted lovely. We wernt rushed as its a large place so plenty of tables. Everybody enjoyed it and we would all come again. Thank you Christine and Celia

Family meal for Mother's Day!! A very good experience...Food, Service and Price. Happy Mum!!

Just had dinner booked for 10 people absolutely fantastic definitely be returning thank you

Excellent food, hot, tasty, great selection on menu, served quickly. Choice of large or small servings 👍

Went to Bulls Head for a family meal. Great service, food fantastic , staff extremely friendly & helpful. Menu great assortment of meals & even better prices very reasonable main courses all £10 & large plates of food. WE WILL BE BACK. Hard to find places like this these days it's a treasure keep up the great work. Great for persons like me Coeliac disease [Gluten Free].

The food is pub food, well made. Good value.

Really enjoyed my hour food all home cooked and proper real ale

Fantastic pub. The cask beers are curated by passionate and knowledgeable staff. A must for ale lovers.

I really like this local pub, but needs a few tweaks.. Especially the older management, maybe try smiling and serving customers like you wish them to be there!

Had a great night with some old friends

Always great home cooked food. Lovely waitress and an open fire. What more could you ask for 😁

I had the Chicken curry but have had the Homemade steak pie on a previous visit both we're amazing Also noticed they had Newcastle brown ale which I've not had in years

Great country pub, lovely food and great atmosphere. Really like the menu options of having range smaller meals. Lovely roast dinners, lasagna, pies, burgers. Recommend the Beartown on tap

Always a lovely meal at the Bulls Head. Plenty of choice on the menu plus a specials board to choose from. The roast dinners take some beating, they're really tasty. We like the option of being able to order a smaller portion if necessary. Great value for money all round. There is a nice atmosphere, especially when the fires are lit. It's friendly and the staff in general are amazing. Thank you team 🙏🏻

Ate here on a Saturday lunchtime . We would both recommend the mains we chose , especially the homemade cheese flan. A large establishment which deserves more clientele than were there when we visited . We've booked for a larger party ( 20 ) to eat there soon .

Lovely old traditional pub with cozy warm fire. Food ordered burger and hickory chicken. The burger was overcooked almost to the point of being burnt. The chicken was essentially a microwave dinner. Wish I had taken a picture to show how disappointing it was. The food used to be excellent.

Fantastic food in a lovely location, amazing hospitality

Good food at reasonable prices in a welcoming country pub. Had a great Sunday lunch in a traditional environment, with good sized portions (as well as a sensible smaller option for those with less appetite). Would recommend.

Little quiet buy thoroughly enjoyable family meal. Shame we went at night as there is a lovely play area we need to get back too.

Pub on a main road a few miles from a junction on the M6 so if you want a break, not at a service station this is good. Decor old fashioned. Toilets would benefit from more often cleaning. Staff were friendly. Food was excellent and their main dishes have reduced portions options if you want a light meal. Good idea. Had mango chicken which was delicious. Ask if you want salad instead of chips for example, they will do this.

Acoustic session, first Monday is a good night.

Stopped in on the way home from Liverpool, was really great friendly service & food. Would recommend

Excellent pub with great beers and lovely food helpful pleasant staff

We went at lunchtime and it was very quiet. The staff were very friendly. The food was very good.

Family run and owned, this is the dictionary definition of a English country pub. Food is good quality traditional fare and hearty portions. The ale on offer is very well kept, and very good. Good play area for kids and surrounded by lush Cheshire pasture. A gem

Great service , food was lovely. No issues

Good first class. For a treat try the whale.sorry I mean the cod it's huge and soooo good. the service was great. You aren't hurried. Clean plates all around. Definately recommend a visit

Popped in for a pint £4.80. Popped out again.

Went to a bike show and beer festival the outside space is awesome, only tried a chip butty was really nice.

Having been let down last minute at a nearby pub, we rang the bulls head and asked if there was any chance they could fit 18 people in for a 60th wedding anniversary in ten minutes time as we were around the corner. The staff were completely unfazed by this and welcomed us with open arms, the food was lovely and the service was absolutely brilliant. We cannot thankyou enough for accommodating us at such short notice and turning a disaster into a brilliant night, well done.

Nice little traditional style pub, food was reasonably priced and tasty, had a good selection of beers. Lovely garden with lots of seating and tables. Would certainly come again.

Food is very good and helpings also. On top of that the price is also good.

Amazing beer! Cracking beer garden. Real country pub!

We have been coming here for years .. new menu ...Good food and lovely new play area for the children...

Not been here for a while. Original setting pub. Large conservatory and outside area. Varied menu incl smaller portions. Partner had steak pie, chips and gravy and I had smaller portion fish and chips. Very nice. Took the pug too.

Lovely food good old fashioned pub

All good. The good food was the reason the pub was packed out.

While traveling south of Manchester...stopped at this pub for lunch

Good place for stop over large portions food got 2 pints each garlic and cheese bread to start ,then scampi, & bulls special burger both with all trimmings delicious no room left for dessert, £61 happy days ,another motorhome in just after us very busy pub for a Thursday we shall be back if in this neighbourhood again they do a great job.

Great food and a good selection of gf food. My chips we cooked in a separate fryer so gf. Will visit again when staying local.

We had Sunday roast here. It tasted as it should.

A traditional, family run proper pub.

Good typical English pub serving home cooked food at a very reasonable price. I wish there was a pub like this near where I live.

First visit was impressed food and plate hot food staying warm eating it .

Loved it here, excellent value for money, friendly staff. Worth a trip.

Beautiful country pub, very welcoming dog friendly

Cosey, old and beautiful pub with a very friendly service excellent food.

Top notch piping hot wholesome food

Great place for good food for families. Excellent customer service.

It's always a pleasure to visit here. Great homemade food, good-sized portions, well priced. They stock a varied range of local and independent brewery beers and lagers, as well as wines, spirits, and soft drinks. The newly refurbished beer garden and play areas are a real asset, especially during this prolonged spell of fabulous summer weather we're having. Plenty of parking available. Although, when very busy, for larger cars, some spaces don't allow much 'wiggle room' As for the hosts..... genuine, friendly, and welcoming, are just a few positives. Recommend a visit.

Good food and choice of cask ales

Great olde English pub with a good selection of beers and a great beer garden.

Excellent Sunday lunch good value for money

Food great, service slow but it's a pub not a fast food outlet, atmosphere was great!

Excellent food and excellent/friendly landlord. Beer options were good too 🍻 Recommend the Cheshire Gold and the Chilli. We will be going back 👍

Beautiful little pub, nice and quiet and the food was brilliant

Just popped in today on spec. Simple food and drink done very well. Just look at the car park ! Tuesday it was packed need I say more?

We went today for Mothers day, my request was a nice country pub so hubby chose here, we had never been before but we will certainly be back the food was beautiful, steak cooked to perfection of what we asked(medium) and the place its self is lovely with all the old features a 300 year old place should have, so cosy and welcoming . All the staff were lovely and pleasant also. Thanks everyone we will see you soon x

First time visiting The Bulls Head and I can honestly say it was a delight. Food was freshly cooked and excellent, generous portions as well. Would highly recommend a visit.

A lovely hearty meal in what I'd call a "proper pub". The interior is just slipping into looking tired, but traditional features like the fire keep it comfortable and welcoming. Brilliant value and space to play outside for the kids on swings and a slide. We'll be back!

One of the best pubs ever! The staff is friendly, polite, absolutely amazing! And what I can said about the home made food… It’s just scrumptious 😋 , with lots of flavours! you will really taste the freshness of the ingredients, big portions and option to small portions (if you require). Love the decorations, big garden, conservatory and plus for this chilly weather a cozy chimney! Just thanks The bulls Head

Visited The Bulls Head a few times now. Service is always friendly. The real ales are good and the food is excellent especially the steak and ale pie! Would highly recommend.

Love this pub, food is always great.

Went in for a snack on Thursday with the parents, it was so nice table was booked for Sunday dinner for the family which did not disappoint one bit very nice, piping hot 5 stars all day long

A warm and friendly welcome and the food is out of this world.....fantastic 😁

Had the pleasure of dining here as a group on a January Sunday. The lovely staff were very accommodating, fantastic menu choice including for children and 'oldy worldy' decor just as charming as pub like this should be. The portions were really generous, all mains came at the same time and every meal delicious especially the giant fish and chips! Clean plates all round. We'll be back next time we meet family in the area - can't wait! Ps thanks also for squeezing us all in last minute.

Brilliant meals, well worth a visit

Really old and quaint building with friendly staff. Dogs welcome which was a bonus. The food was home cooked and plentiful

Lovely country pub with log fires. Excellent food, a lot of choice, and big portions..

Cosy, olde worldly pub with fab food, especially steak pie and soup. Lovely warm fire
