The BEST Sunday Lunch ever. This was amazing, well cooked, pleanty of food and excellent service - Thank you Dan 🙂

We went to the Bulls Head Abbots Oak for Sunday lunch and it was exceptional portion sizes were good. We were a table of 13 which can sometimes be problematic for establishments but not for the Bulls Head the food came promptly and were friendly attentive overall it was a lovely place to eat. I would highly recommend.

Ii didn't really want to give 5 stars because I don't want this lovely restaurant to become over run with visitors but I also don't want to be mean!! 2nd birthday meal here, not cheap pub grub but good tasty proper food! Sunday dinners are amazing! Took the family here today....13 of us....plus teddy so we had 14 at the table 🤪 All of our meals arrived at the same time, staff were attentive but not annoying! Nothing was too much trouble and even the fussiest eaters in our family could find nothing to complain about!! All fresh food, nothing tinned or frozen.....and the gravy 😋

I’d just like to take time to thank the Bulls Head for hosting my daughter’s 21st birthday meal with all her family. We had such a lovely time here. I’d particularly like to say a BIG THANK YOU to the staff that waited on us all and also the chefs that cooked all 23 meals. Thanks goes to Ashley , Fay , Ephie, Owen, Leah , Emily , Liam, Logan & Brandon. The food was delicious and came out hot and on time so that a big group that we were actually all ate together. The staff were all so helpful and friendly made my daughter’s night very enjoyable. The room we were in looked lovely too with the bits I took over in the day. It was so nice to see smiles on all the staffs faces, they were all so nice made to such a lovely atmosphere. The places is so lovely , I’m not sure why I’ve never known it was there hence my first time visiting , but definitely won’t be my last ! I highly recommend the Seabass that I had , it was DELICIOUS! Thank you so much again x x x

I had tuxford chicken this was unbelievable, compliments to the chefs hats off to them, emily, brandon , logan and liam, and the lovely manager ashley brillisnt service

Fab place to have dinner, great service

We attended for a family dinner. The rice was excellent and the food was great. Prices are competitive and a very varied menu. The pub was quiet but still had enough tan members on to cope and give an excellent experience.

Very welcoming, friendly staff, service excellent. Reasonable time for meals to be served, recommended

Very nice food good service and very friendly 👍👍👍👍

THE BEST OF THE BEST FOOD- Top quality, Bursting with Flavour, Fresh, filling and Amazing. So much variety which will suit even the most Picky of eaters. 0 complaints at all . SERVICE- Can't get better service anywhere else. Extremely friendly Staff, who make you feel very welcomed and looked after. Super attentive too your needs. . ATMOSPHERE- Perfect lighting, Super cosy and warm feel complimented by some Groovy tunes from 70-80s. . Came all the way from Australia with this one place reserved at the TOP of the list. Best Pub and food Anywhere in England. This place will always hold a place in my heart.

Ashley and Amy have always been very welcoming. Came a few times now. Seen them in doorway and went todays gonna be a good one. Being a picky eater they have always catered for myself and other Half's allergies.

Had lunch on xmas eve, lovely atmosphere! Had a warm welcome and the food was divine. Dog friendly too 😁

Very nice pub with home cooked excellent food with great service from all the staff called in on Sunday lunch had not booked they were busy but went out of their way to fit me in thanks for a lovely meal can definitely recommend.

A group of us went for a pre Christmas lunch - great food, excellent service. Highly recommend!

Visiting the son at university requires taking him out for a meal. Couldn't recommend The Bulls Head enough, the food was great and the service first class. Fay attended to our needs with a smile and grace.

I never give five stars, but in this case...

Wonderful menu choices, spectacular food for all kinds of taste, genuine and friendly staff members, more specifically Ashley and Mavis, we were made to feel very at home and comfortable, so if you’re feeling a welcoming pub with homemade food, The Bulls Head is the place to go 😊

The food was great, service very good. Ephie was our waitress and I couldn't fault her. All in all a very nice meal.

Really lovely food with all the family and atmosphere was great 👍

I attended a large family meal here on Friday 1st of November. I just wanted to give a special thank you to Ashley for taking good care of us, nothing was too much and she was super friendly! All of our meals were lovely and also came out hot which was great. Will definitely be visiting again! Thank you

Very nicely decorated restaurant and very nice quality food. The menu had a good amount of choice and the service was prompt and efficient. Good value for money too - certainly recommended!

Food was lovely, service was friendly and didn't have to wait

Nice friendly pub and great food and service

Went to The Bulls Head for an impromptu celebration dinner last night. It was the first time we’ve eaten there in a couple of months and were surprised to see a new menu. We received the usual warm welcome and were seated with drinks brought over promptly. I ordered a Rump Steak and my partner the Lasagna. I didn’t like the sauce options and asked if it was possible the streak could come with some beef dripping. Our waiter (Dean, I think…) said he’d see what he could do. As an ex-South African, I do like a good steak but my expectation in the UK is low and even lower from pubs. But I have to say, that despite it not being properly medium rare (it was close!), it was hands down the best pub steak I’ve had in over 25 years of living in the UK. And the beef dripping was really flavoursome too! Along with the amazing onion rings and well cooked chips, I was left stuffed. My partner really enjoyed her Lasagna too - the first she’d had in a pub since being a student. Sadly both of us were too full to attempt any of the nice looking deserts. The not so (anymore) new management have really turned The Bulls Head around. Big thanks to Liam the chef, Amy & Dean who looked after as so well and served up a blinder of a meal!

Had a lovely meal for a family lunch today. Ashley looked after our table, really well. Many thanks. GH

Absolutely great food and exceptional service when visiting on 3rd November 2024. We had not visited this pub/restaurant since atrocious service from the previous owners, who we found out were now long gone. I can toughly recommend the food served by Sophie and Emily and say a big thank you to all concerned. If you had a bad experience from the previous owners as we did, please try visiting the Bulls Head again, you will not be sorry.

Quality food with very generous portion sizes! Waitresses Ash & Sophia were lovely and very attentive. Will definitely be returning and recommending to friends!

We visited on 25th October 2024 for a late lunch. Had a wonderful meal & the staff were very helpful. My husband ordered a steak ( he likes medium/rare but more on the rare impressed steak was cooked to perfection. Very big shout out to Liam the chef. We came back on 1st with friends for an evening meal & Ashley recognised us from the week before. When hubby ordered the steak she remembered how impressed we had been previously. She checked & Liam was again under pressure to deliver. He did just that & even brought the steak out himself. Well done Liam you're doing a fantastic job & to all the staff. Highly recommend you give it a try. You won't be disappointed.

Visited the Bulls Head twice within the last two weeks and had excellent meals on both occasions. The chef knows just how to cook a steak! to perfection!. The venue is tastefully decorated and the staff are attentive without being too invasive. I would highly recommend this establishment.

I had the job of arranging a surprise meal for a large group of people and the bulls head were just fantastic. From booking the table to pre-ordering - to allowing the birthday girl to order on the day to not ruin the surprise. Once at the venue, Ashley was so helpful and just all round lovely to ensure we had what we needed and felt comfortable. We had 6 children in the mix from a baby to an 8 year old and she made me feel like I didn't need to worry and allowed us to relax and enjoy ourselves. A proper family friendly pub/restaurant. The food was amazing! Honestly, the kitchen did so well to ensure all our meals were still the best quality and all served together. And everyone was pleasantly surprised at how affordable it is to go out and have a 2 course or 3 course meal without breaking the bank! Couldn't recommend enough. Thankyou from us all

Lovely pub with great food. Very friendly staff who made us feel very welcome. Definitely visit again.

We had a lovely meal here, the food was great and the service was amazing. We were showed to our table by Ashley. She and the staff were all really lovely. Such a friendly atmosphere in there! I would definitely recommend!

All pretty good. Food was well worth the money. My belly pork was v. good (although missing the red cabbage and black pudding as promised). Puddings were triff. Service was a tad slow at the end (desserts, bill etc)

Fantastic sunday roast, staff were friendly and helpful especially the shorter fella behind the bar, i believe Anthony was his name.

Lovely staff and brilliant food second time will definitely come again

Lovely Sunday lunch. Roast spuds a bit salty but the rest was great

Excellent restaurant with friendly staff

Sunday lunch was fantastic, big portions, and Ashley who served us was lovely.

Took the family in for dinner - fantastic food! Served by a lovely gentlemen called Anthony. Will be back again.

Assisted by Ashley,very polite & friendly,definitely goes above & beyond to keep all her customers happy

Had a fantastic meal. Ashley and her staff were so welcoming, Friendly and up for a laugh. Nothing was to much trouble.

The staff are so welcoming and service is great. Dog friendly too. We had lunch menu - 2 for £18 and both meals absolutely delicious. Garlic chicken skewers and chicken with camerbert.

Excellent meal and service. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Great atmosphere and Sunday dinner was amazing ..best we have had to be honest ..all freshly cooked and not shy on portions..Definitely recommend to anyone 👌

First time visiting heard good review, wasn't disappointed, overall enjoyed are time here, definitely will be return in the very near future

Fabulous restaurant. Food was amazing. Ashley was particularly fantastic! So friendly and helpful.

Had a lovely birthday meal for my daughter’s birthday. Ashley our waitress was very accommodating and pleasant. Ashley couldn’t do enough for us

Made to feel very welcome. Such a massive improvement from years ago when I last visited this establishment. The food was delicious even though I had a meal from the light bite menu. Very good service from the 2 waitresses even though it was quite busy. Plenty of outside tables and a children's play when the weather permits. Plenty of car parking spaces. All in all, a delightful lunchtime experience. This is a dog friendly pub restaurant, providing the dog is well behaved and kept under control.

Food was very good apart from childs chicken nuggets were a little over done. Staff seemed frazzled and we were rushed through our meal as they needed our table which we had been promised for a further hour when booked. We ended up having to leave drinks as there was no where to sit and finish them as too cold to sit outside, no worse feeling than being interrupted at a family gathering for a special occasion and asked to leave!!!!!

Had a lovely meal and catch up with a friend yesterday. Staff very friendly and accommodating, especially when hubby was table hopping due to the speaker positions 😁. The lads had steak pies and I had the light bite chicken tikka flatbread. All food enjoyed and puds too. My Malteser cheesecake was lovely. Would happily recommend. Photos attached....... the parsnips were pinched from hubby as he doesn't like them. 😁

The servers were really lovely and fast, food was amazing. Great atmosphere, I would definitely recommend!

Was our first time here food was decent and good size portions. Clean and tidy Service was a little slow but food was fresh and warm! Also it wasn't clear if you ordered at the bar or somebody came to you. But fully catered when asked if they could still do a small plate even though we arrived slightly after 5pm! Just a personal opinion due to eating with a relative who is allergic if pubs/restaurants are dog friendly they should also ask if people are allergic and have consideration of separate seating areas for those who do incase. Would return as overall service was a positive and food was good!

Absolutely lovely lunch at The Bull's Head. Great food, great service. Beautiful location in the Leicestershire hills

It was OK! Staff were working so hard. Food choice was abit meh though was nice when I finally decided. Update- lovely new menu! I had a flat bread that was yummy. I have noticed every time I have been in and when I’ve been seated listening to people arriving they are asked “have you not booked?” Which always leads to an awkward feeling that walk ins are unwanted.

Delicious Sunday Roast. Great personal and nice attitude. Some fresh air circulation would be better.

First time visiting The Bull's Head at Abbotts Oak, went for lunch with my daughter and granddaughter to celebrate my daughter's birthday. Did not make a reservation but was welcomed by Ashley who found us a table. Sophie and Ashley took our orders and both were attentive, approachable and chatty which made the visit very enjoyable. The food was lovely and hot! Good portion sizes and affordable. The desserts were yummy so thank you to the chefs, Lewis and Brandon! Definitely would visit again! Well worth the visit. Thank you guys 😀

Very nice in side food lovley. Very cool when sun went in

We stopped by to this local pub on our way back to London from Liverpool. The atmosphere of the pub was amazing . Great menu and the delicious food . Ashley and Sophie have been great host . Stronger recommendation!!!

Sophie and Ashley!! Superb atmosphere and delicious food. Gets you whatever you want and are so funny. Amazing service and loved every bite of it.
