The Bulls Head in Cheshire East

Best pub in Smallwood. Food is excellent, friendly efficient staff

Never had food,but booze was good and bar staff friendly. Will return👍

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. May 25. Now our regular Saturday lunchtime treat (with puggers). Consistently good 👍

A great family run pub, a proper pub, serving piping hot home cooked meals (varied menu and specials board). Very generous portions at sensible prices. Jake and all the staff, are attentive and nothing is too much trouble to ensure you enjoy your visit. Lovely garden area and play area for the children. I highly recommend you visit and see for yourself. Also VERY dog friendly 🐾🐾

Can't speak highly enough of the place food great play area safe and my little girls love it staff fantastic really recommend to anyone

A lovely place to eat well cooked pub food at reasonable priced. It's also dog friendly, which is a bonus.

Great country pub serving beautiful food.

Family lunch, service and food excellent

A very friendly welcome. The food was good with very generous portions. I particularly recommend the ginger sponge pudding 🍮. Great value for money.

Excellent service, food is lovely (very nive) and the atmosphere is welcoming.

Good choice if food .several vegan options .lovely staff

Had a excellent time here for my granddaughters 6th birthday last night food was excellent and service also the staff were all lovely A special thankyou to the Guy that was on also went above and beyond when he had a few problems with the beer thankyou for a lovely evening

Fabulous place for a meal. Lovely staff and excellent service. A favourite choice for the Friday Night Ladies!

Excellent pub and food very good value

The menu was varied. There was a choice of starter (which I didn't have). There were lots of choices for the main meal, with a choice for a smaller portion or regular portion. (I had the smaller portion, which was more than enough for me). I also noticed there was a children's menu on the same card. There were also sandwiches and lighter meals. The desert was delicious, and lots of it. I thoughly recommend this place

Staff very attentive and paid extra attention to a member of our party with severe allergy problems. Would definitely go again.

Club visit - food is excellent quality at very modest prices, staff amazingly friendly and helpful. A team effort from a family run pub. Exactly as it should be.

Service good, food good, lovely old pub lot's of character, will go again

Fab pub. The best cheese flan I've ever tasted 😋 I will be back for more soon!

We are regular visitors to the Bulls Head. Food is always served pipping hot and is always tasty. Good honest food. It takes a little while to arrive but worth the wait.

Just had a drink but really nice welcoming staff

Great old traditional pub. Great food, great beer , open fires and really friendly staff.

Lovely pub great food and atmosphere.superb food with a personal touch.

A great pub on the Newcastle Road Lovely open warm fires Real ale, nice selection Food available, lots of tables Dog friendly, with dog area Outdoor seating Kids play area Car park Function room

A lovely meal at reasonable prices

Only ate chips which were fine. Beer good service and staff friendly.

Exactly what we were looking for quite,little country pub with lots of character and friendly staff . A warm welcome on arrival with clear acknowledgement dogs are also very welcome

Not very often you get a traditional family pub anymore with real fires so this beautiful place is a hidden gem to say the least and from entering until you leave you’re made to feel so welcome . Food is home cooked and so fresh all your meals ordered comes with additional condiments at no extra cost which in my opinion is quite rare these days : you even get the chance to have a fun time on their quiz Friday night events they also sometimes do a charity race night and even acoustic Mondays once a month ; venture to this rare place that feels more like a community pub rather than a public one you really will return again and again I’m sure

First time we have used it always go to the legs of man, But we have been missing out, As a retired Hotelier , the food was excellent hot and the portions were good. We will be visiting you more often. The steak pie was delicious as were all 4 meals

Great friendly welcoming country pub, lovely homemade food and great atmosphere. Lovely welcome from all staff. Really like the menu options of having range smaller meals as well as the full sided meals. Lovely roast dinners, lasagna, pies, burgers. Recommend the Beartown on tap.

Loved it, had lunch today, great reception at bar .. ordered food, arrived quickly.....lovely atmosphere...pleasant staff... Would recommend👍.oh a reasonably priced. 👍

First time visit for lunch found by chance. Beautiful pub really friendly welcoming staff. The food was fantastic and good value. Lots of history and lots of lovely features, dog friendly. will definitely be back

Excellent food, always piping hot on arrival, an old pub, but fantastic

We've visited as a family several times now and always had great service, The food is always so lovely and enjoyable. The fact that the menu gives two portion sizes is also worth the stars.

First time we've tried this pub and pleased to say we enjoyed it. Food served quickly and piping hot. Will return.

Absolutely fantastic, proper home made food. Not many pubs left around like this these days and this is a real gem.

warm welcome, the food was great classic pub food nice simple menu but all fresh and very tasty. Will deffintly be going back there again. Service was spot on. Highly recommend going there.

Absolutely amazing food. Me and my partner have tried most of the menu and it has all been super. Great owners and staff always make you feel welcome. All round superb family run pub

Friendly staff willing to accommodate to each persons needed including special needs Homely atmosphere making it feel safe, comfortable and warm along side perfect hot food! Vegan and gluten free options available Overall just a great pub for the family

Very good food but had a long wait to be served but was very busy, perhaps because Saturday evening.

Incredible proper home made food from a family run pub. Portions huge and the ginger sponge & custard was incredible. Worth a visit, proper good grub. Gorgeous vintage cars frequent and regular meetings. Huge outdoor area. Well worth a stop or extra mile to visit this place.

Always great atmosphere, quality food and friendly staff!

Great music no vegan choice though.

Booked today for my granddaughter’s birthday. Never been before but will definitely be returning. Food was tasty and hot. Staff very friendly. I thought my daughter had arranged for ice cream with candle to be brought out but she hadn’t. Staff heard us saying it was her birthday and took it on themselves to bring it out. Blew my mind as you don’t get folk to do something so lovely like this. Thank you all for making my granddaughter feel so special. So thoughtful.

One of the best pubs we've ever come across Absolutely amazing food And I know the chef loves the plates hot when serving food , not many pubs do that Been here quite a few times now Meals are delicious and freshly cooked Spot on

Plates are very hot. Food excellent.

Good food good beer ,very nice night out,

Love the ‘old’ feel of the place. Original features .

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

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.

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

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

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.

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!

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

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.

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 😊

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

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

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.
