The Bulls Head in Blaby

I will be blunt. My starter was really nice, my roast was so bad. Came out cold (but the poor waitress was delivering all the food alone so I thought I would just grin and bear it). Totally flavourless unfortunately. Little to no seasoning on any of the food so the whole meal tasted of nothingness AND was cold. Probably actually one of the most overpriced roasts relative to quality and flavour, and one of the worst, that I’ve ever had. The starter however, was really nice (Pâte) and the staff were very friendly and attentive. Would not return for food, especially at those prices relatives to what you get. Totally unsatisfied with my Sunday dinner for the first time at a pub EVER. The saving grace is that most of the staff (except one who I just observed but wasn’t served by thankfully) are really friendly and really good. The atmosphere I rated as 2 because I only saw the bar (not the restaurant) and it’s not particularly nice. Also, lots of what I presume are locals who like to stare at anyone who might not normally go to the pub. Makes for a bit of a cliquey atmosphere. Nevertheless, I guess that’s a question of personal comfort, preference or taste.

Friendly staff, always pleasant to visit.

Haven't been for a long time, it was very good

Excellent... Fabulous Sunday lunch, we had smoked salmon and a caprese salad, followed by roast beef and turkey roasts... All were lovely, beautifully cooked and good portions too. The staff were polite, helpful, friendly and efficient, the atmosphere in the pub was happy and vibrant... All in all a great experience... Fully recommended 👍

Best pub grub I have had for a long time

Good food, great and pleasant service , what more do you want

Big pub with restaurant. Restaurant and bar section have different menus. We ate in bistro/ bar section. Food was good. Fish n chips really good. Haloumi burger good too. Service was a bit slow but it was really busy. Staff are really friendly and helpful. Bar has a great atmosphere and is really well decorated and laid out. Good value too.

We’re taking the A roads today and happened upon The Bulls Head - SO delighted we did! The Niçoise salad is absolutely fabulous. Gorgeous afternoon - we will be back!

Meal was very good and tasty will go again

Excellent lunchtime coffee ☕️ 😋

Great food, friendly atmosphere and lots of room outside for warmer seasons.

Such a very nice place to go out for a meal in the restaurant and a drink and the staff are so very nice and friendly.

Great food, friendly service. The Bulls Head is consistently good!

Very noisy restaurant on our visit , a bit like being in a Weatherspoons pub They agreed to move us to the quieter part and more emptier part of the restaurant . Things improved as the 4 of us could actually hear each other. The food was well cooked and we all enjoyed our 3 course's. We all agreed that the boast of Gastro Pub was well justified . We will return.

Great food, very slow service which was a shame but didnt ruin the overall experience.

Food and service very good pub could do with a refurb

Great food thanks to recce staff friendly

Ate here for the first time (but not the last!) to celebrate a birthday. Nice relaxed atmosphere in the restaurant with music in the background as it should be and not overly loud. Staff attentive and friendly, happy to resolve any issues. We had the seafood platter to share which was very good in quality, quantity and value for money. Will definitely be going again.

We had a very enjoyable meal at The Bulls Head, the main meal was sooo tasty, hot and well presented, the desserts were to die for. This was our first time at The Bulls Head and will definitely return when in the area Can highly recommend.

Good food and the service was excellent

On more than one occasion dealt with rude staff. We used to be regulars bringing usually bringing groups of people but after recent experiences and after a very honest one to one conversation with the management we have not and will not return unless training is enforced to avoid these issues

Great food and staff are friendly and good service not over price and it's every welcome place i recommend that I give it more than five stars, and ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I phoned thew to book a table but accidentally called the wrong pub 😵‍💫, but when we arrived they managed to get us in luckily, really enjoyed our meal tonight, the steak was cooked perfect with just the right amount of seasoning, the fish was cooked spot on not greasy at all and the batter was lovely, desserts just finished us all off but were very tasty, Will be visiting again at some point.

Last Wednesday in every month there is a chopper club evening we're outside in the car park you can meet a good range of motorcyclists from all backgrounds and also a wide range types of motorcycles. Meeting normally starts around 7 o'clock in the evening always a good evening had by all. Had an excellent meal there. Starter, prawn cocktail with fresh bread. Main, big juicy beef stake,medium rare with triple fried chips. The sweet, Christmas pudding. All courses very good quality, fresh and cooked to a very high standard in my opinion.

Very disappointed in our visit today after spotting this lovely looking pub on our way past after checking out the very impressive menu came back that way. Arrived at 1.10 was told wouldn't be able to order till 1.45 so sat in garden with a drink. After spending that time back and forth making our mind up with so many food items we wanted to try 1.45 came another table ordered 1.55 came we went to bar to try and order to be told to take a seat server would be out 2.10 back to the bar again take a seat. By 2.20 when they finally came out to take our order we decided to leave it as still had to travel another hour and with no apologies from staff members for the extremely long wait just to even order.

Love this place, wonderful food, great atmosphere, only downside is they allow dogs in the eating area of the pub. Was eating our food next to a table that had a dog and the dog smelt terrible. Completely put us off our food.

Great food, great service, staff were very attentive and prompt. Tables were clean and well presented and the venue is large and feels uncrowded. Food was beautiful

Super tender and tasty fillet steak, and the three time cooked chips have a special taste that call to go back again. To be visited.

No acknowledgement fromv2 bar staff 'busy'. However food was good. Didn't feel the vibe though.

Sunday lunch was excellent. Staff very friendly & polite. Nicely decorated pub.

Excellent food , slightly more expensive than I would normally go for ,but better than expected

I drove up from Reading to see my son who lives in Earl Shilton. We have been to the restaurant here before and the food and service were very good. This time, however, we decided to order our meal to sit in the garden. We bought drinks and were told that someone would come and take our order at 7.45pm. Nobody came to take our order so at 7.50pm I went to the bar, ordered some more drinks and asked about giving the barmaid our order. She looked at the list and said our names had been scribbled out. Her next comment was that we would have to wait another half hour before they would take our order. This is not the way to treat customers, particularly when the error is their fault. I would expect the member of staff to be putting themselves out to resolve the problem. Lucy was the member of staff who wrote our name on the list but I have no idea which member of staff scribbled our name off the list. One member of staff came over to our table to give us a very genuine apology, but an apology doesn't resolve the situation. I would suggest that if you can't handle bar or garden meals, you employ more staff and put strategies in place for when your staff get things wrong. We left very disappointed and hungry, but found Nemo's at Stoney Cove more than willing to have food ready for us when we got there.

First time here for Sunday lunch which was fabulous!

Really enjoyed lunch here. Good choice of dishes on the menu. I had the fish pie which was superb. Hope to visit again soon.

Just called in for a mid day brunch and wow !! The food and service is excellent!! Really impressed

Excellent food reasonably priced for the amount

Myself and wife booked for tonight in the restaurant and defiantly not disappointed, top food and the waitresses were so polite even though they were rushed off there feet. Been a few times, see you soon. Ian & Sarah Woodward.

Stopped for a quick half on the bike 😁

Been meaning to go back here since I was a kid, still got the boot!! Lol lovely pub, very warm and welcoming. The garden and scenery is just beautiful. The food was delicious, thank you! Will be coming back again soon 😁

The place is very nice. The food eventually came after a very long wait for both courses. Mine was ok. The waitress was lovely and kept us informed. They too our drinks off the bill to compensate which was great but the wait was far too long!

A great place to enjoy a meal out with family, friends or both. The hospitality was really good and a warm welcome was provided by all the staff. The team proved to give a fab service throughout the meal. The food was of a very high quality at a reasonable price. Highly recommend to all.

Really good food, great price and portion. Visited on a Saturday lunch, not too busy, fun time was had by all.

Just had a wonderful rib eye steak followed by Eaton mess. Everything was perfect especially the service from our lovely waitress.

Amazing (and not in a sarcastic way)... Wife and I had been looking forward to trying this place for quite some time, and as today is my birthday we thought it was about time that we did. The Bulls Head did not disappoint. Upon entering this dog-friendly establishment, we were warmly welcomed by a friendly member of staff, and we ordered our drinks at the bar. The Spring Equinox by Everards was a delightfully crisp yet hoppy beer. One would assume it was created using the citra and mosaic hops. We took a couple of menus and ordered our food. The wife had the prawn cocktail, and with it costing just 9 British squids, it was a surprise at the quantity and quality. Fresh, perfectly cooked and served with a basket cone of chips on the side. I was slightly envious. Well, that was until I bit into... Umami Burger... perfectly cooked and held together very well. I've been to some places where you get a burger to grease ratio of about 60/40. This burger had very little in the way of grease, had a lovely smokiness flowing through and the truffle mayonnaise added to the ever growing orgasm in my mouth. The chips that came with it were out of this world, crisp on the outside and fluffy and light on the inside. These are the best chips I've ever had in a pub/resturant. The staff were very helpful and always kept a smile on their faces. This made me feel most at home. We can't wait to come back again!! Well done on all aspects, you guys are what good customer service and great product is about!!

Terrible experience went to the bar at 5 asked for menu was told not serving food till 6 so sat down with drink at 6 returned to bar to ask for menu to be told not serving walk ins till 6.45 .....

Food was first class Ella gave us great service

Typical English meal, pleasant setting, service a little long

Wow, just wow, fantastic staff and fantastic beers and super fantastic food 5STARS 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Just popped in after work for a wind down pint. Chatty crowd. Nice atmosphere. Didn't eat but the food being served looked lovely.

Food excellent waitress very pleasant decor really good service spot on

Outstanding food. Will definitely be back.

Great place easy access good prices great location

We’ve been here and sat in both the bistro and the restaurant and both were delicious. The haddock kedgeree was delicious! Able to cater to gluten-free/celiac too which was great. Restaurant felt very luxurious, though we did have a view of smokers but that’s not the end of the world.

Went for a meal out on a Wednesday They had half a pub full of a wedding and couldn't even take our order for another hour Obviously can't cope with being busy

On arrival we were told that we couldn't order food for 45 mins as the kitchen was too busy. After 45 mins no one came to take our order. We did ask 3 timed if we could order. The wait turned into 75 minutes, by which time I was too annoyed to order. The staff were very busy and I guess were used to hearing complaints like mine. Also the interior and play area does need refreshing.

Proper home cooked food at a very reasonable price

Went here with my mum been previously but today I was shocked had the seafood platter for two the calamari was over cooked I wouldn’t have served this personally The butter wasn’t home made as said on the menu.(and as sold on the menu) The calamari was not fresh, the chef did do some more which was better . Then I was still expected to pay the full £59.30. It was quite embarrassing for the service to be honest. Feel free to look on the pictures I have uploaded the food which was served. The fish in batter was also cold

The easiest 5* review I've ever given. Polite, friendly staff, great pub, a menu for the doggo and then THE FOOD!!! Seriously good pub fayre, generous portions, amazing burgers (wagyu mixed in), awesome desserts!! Honestly delighted we came across this gem!!!!! Thanks x

An excellent meal for our party of six - we were all impressed with the food, the service and the atmosphere - so definitely ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

First visit. Very impressed with menu and quality of food. Staff friendly. Will certainly return .

We found this pub purely by chance - we were halfway through a really long journey and we were both really hungry, tired and needed a break before we killed each other. What a find this was! We were so well looked after, the menu was great, staff were really friendly and the place itself was lovely. We were fed and watered exceptionally well and really quickly which was most appreciated! Everything we ordered was delicious and beautifully cooked- really hot and fresh and generous portions too. They also fed my ridiculous caffeine addiction admirably with lovely strong coffee that was piping hot and not disappointingly tepid like you get in a lot of places. I really can’t say enough good about our visit here. Lovely choices on the menu, super service and excellent value for money. My only regret is that I couldn’t fit a dessert in, because that menu looked good too! Thankyou BullsHead - if we ever get lost out that way whilst driving the length of the country to pick up a ludicrous eBay purchase again we will be sure to come back!

Lunch at this place, great can recommend the sandwiches, dogs allowed in the bar too.

Never disappointed with this place.Great setting, lovely staff, delicious food,good selection of drinks.

Celebrating birthday with family. Went for Sunday lunch. Had New Year's eve Sunday lunch which brought us back. Never dissappoints food delicious plenty of it and staff always welcoming. Never had bad meal here.

Great service & food only 1 small moan chips were already salted with to much salt customer should season own food

Had a lovely meal, the fish pie was amazing and the service was great

Excellent food as usual,sat in the bar as restaurant was full ,snug as by the Woodburn,none drinker so apint and a half of soda and lime 60p,brilliant as most rest charge about 3 quid.Would highly recommend, food spot on as usual .

This was my birthday treat from my family. I love the toad in the hole there, my family all ordered different starters and main meals, every plate was clean at the end of the meal. We didn't have long to wait for the food to be served. Staff always friendly. We all enjoyed the experience and I love going to the Bulls Head.

Hinckley Road by pass area, close to Caterpillar office, Beautiful View of Greenery...cool Breeze...

Nice place. A very warm atmosphere

Wow,not been here for so long.Love the refurbishment,quiet night,Lily&Hattie were brilliant attendees.Food was amazing,compliments to the chefs. With regards Michelle,Tracy&Carol. We will be back without a doubt.

Food tastes like dog food. Bad staff bad atmosphere

Went here for lunch had a bit of a wait, but we didnt mind it was well worth the wait, the food was amazing, the staff were all great really friendly, will definitely be back again.

Excellent food. Very good value for money

Sunday lunch is really good, service is a bit slow but it was busy

Food delicious, service very good, will go again,

The atmosphere here shifts quite significantly depending on when you come. After a workman's day is finished, this place gets filled with young lads who occupy the very small bar area talking to the barmaids, they are loud and very intimidating. Whereas during lunch service in the week and again on the weekend, the place is very nice with coal fired stoves and the food is great. The mens toilet however is indescribable, its horrific, unpleasant and is in serious need of sanitisation.

The food was lovely had lamb roast .only thing disappointing was you have to pay extra for roast parsnip and cauliflower .roast parsnip should come with your roast dinner .

The music is shocking!! Great staff great pub music to loud in the bar and vvv random

What an amazing place for food the food is to die for. The service from the ladies was fantastic, so polite and professional. Only negative I have is one particular man (manager or owner) who quite obviously was looking down his nose at us (16 of us for my wife's birthday) and even moaning to his staff about us. Quite clear with his body language. Would really have liked to have taken it up with him apart from it would have ruined my wife's dinner more than he already had. So if you can excuse a particular pathetic individual who clearly thinks he's better than others and definitely dislikes children in the restaurant, then visit. If not avoid.

Food, very good, service brilliant, people perfect 👌 if I have to fault anything, it would be the music 🎶 NOISY!! Highly recommended, we will be definitely going back.

Been a couple of times and can’t fault the food at all or service . Tonight we took a party of 15 for my grandsons 21st and my goodness the staff worked soo hard and very pleasant from start to finish . Food was amazing and anything we asked for was not any trouble. Perfect evening , thank you guys for all your hard work, very much appreciated guys .

Lovely food and lots of it.....and the staff are fabulous.....

Can thoroughly recommend the sunday lunch, was excellent 👌

Food was great and had a decent selection on the menu. Decent selection of drinks on tap. Beer garden was nice with a small playground and plenty of space for children.

Don't need to look for anywhere else. Good drink and a very nice restaurant. Very dog friendly.

Great food. My new favourite place to eat. Proper white cotton table cloths. Waiting staff are always nice and friendly. Nothing is too much trouble. Burgers are great. Fish pie is full of fish and the sheperds pie was awesome.

Nice local pub. Easily accessible. I had the shepherd's pie. It was absolutely amazing, really tasty and filling. Nice atmosphere. Only criticism would be the confusion around service and ordering. You have to go to the bar to tell them you'd like a meal but then get sent back to your seat to wait.

Was visiting Mallory park for a race weekend luckily we stumbled across this pub the steaks are amazing great service beer and food definitely recommend you won’t be disappointed 5stars

Excellent ribeye and well worth the money

This a is a really good pub for a few drinks. We will return for food as the menu looked good.

Great selection of burgers and pub mains. The portions are good for the price and the food is tasty. For an Everard's pub, the beer selection is actually very good and the wine and gin options are also reasonable. Had a good night out and there were some banging tracks on the playlist. Also dog friendly which is the biggest plus in our book.

Nice pub restaurant with a large outside seating area. The coffee was really good and the staff friendly.

Great food and friendly service

Place & staff are great, just restrictive starters offered, which is a shame. Unless you want a salad you aren't having a starter. The mains & desserts were very nice though 👌.

Do not no what the food is like but it looked nice

Nice pub with a convivial atmosphere. We received a very pleasant welcome from the young lady at the bar. Although we only stopped for a drink we found our visit to be a real pleasure. The seating areas are pleasant and clean and the pub is very well maintained and cared for. Well done to all concerned! Update on 04.08.23...still excellent.

I went with my family and everything was really good

I'm not sure why you haven't been to this place if you live within five miles, frankly. The food is outstanding (great portions, great price), the atmosphere is lovely, the service and drink choices are great and it's such a nice place to be. The only issue is you can't risk being a walk-in to get food, especially lunch. BOOK AHEAD to guarantee your slot and then enjoy every mouthful of food and every sip of beer.

Really like this pub, has a lovely relaxed atmosphere when we usually go on a Sunday. Never had food, just go for drinks usually. The garden is really big and spacious, we bring our dog and if there not many in the garden we throw her ball for her lol.. There is a nice play area for kids too. The prices are about average for these days, around £5+ for a pint these days.. We bought two pints and a half and it came to £12 something, so about average really. But a lovely relaxed atmosphere and it's super dog friendly 👍
