Held an 80th Birthday party in the function room and what a great time we had! Sam and Jamie are so hospitable and can’t do enough to help. Fantastic food, great beer and super landlords, in a great location… you can’t ask for more! Thank you!

We had some very well kept beers along with toasties and chips. An ideal pub for a break whilst walking around Rosliston Forest. Really enjoyed lunch at this pub and hope to return soon.

A proper pub with fantastic hospitable landlord and team . We were on the area with friends looking for some lunch and struck gold when happened upon The Bulls Head , great pub food at a good price , lovely local beer and lots of smiles from the team and locals , if we ever are in the area again we will return

Jamie and sam are the perfect hosts in this safe friendly pub excellent . The food is good the ales are exceptional and a lovely warm welcome

Found this place by chance but it's one to remember. Well organised for social distancing, the staff were friendly and welcoming. The lunch menu had plenty of choice and portion sizes were generous. There was a good choice of drinks also and prices very very reasonable. There were ample tables in the garden. The inside decor was in keeping with a country pub. We'll certainly be back.

good lunches, excellent beers well kept, and friendly service, what more could you ask for from a local pub?

As always with all the restrictions/guidelines in place, it was lovely to see the team looking good & well, spending a lovely couple of hours catching up with friends both in/out with the rain. I shall as always be back guys, lovely pub ☺☺☺

Great country pub, draft bitters as good as the best and I never heard any complaints about the Lager Open mic every Thursday well recommend Everyone behind the bar always has a smile 😃

The staff at the Bull's Head at Rosliston are a fantastically helpful crew. My husband and I went there a couple of weeks ago to the function room and I asked during the week what they have available that is vegan. The chef made a very tasty vegan chilli and were only too happy to help when I phoned up. Thank you very much, Bull's Head at Rosliston

When I came to this pub I immediately realised how friendly and socialable the staff and customers were. A great atmosphere. The service was on point and so was the food. Definately will visit again without a doubt. I give this pub a 5 star rating.

Great beers/selection of drinks. All staff friendly and welcoming as are customers. Food only at lunchtime but good value and decent choice. This is the best pub we’ve found a mixture of d fashioned service with updated choice of drinks. Reason leaving this review is I’m a Walsall lad born and bred and have no idea where Archie C is coming from. Can only suggest he sticks to wine bars and gastro pubs! Challenge anyone to come to Bull and have a bad experience. The bar is immaculate as in the lounge so haven’t a clue where he gets his comments from. Just tested the Mild and it’s perfect. Five stars all day long!! Cheers Tony

Tried this pub several times over the last couple of years, mainly due to the fact that they sell Banks's mild, but I think today was the last time !!!! The pub has seemed to get worse each time Ive visited but the mild today was absolutely terrible, so much so that I left nearly a full pint to find another pub with some decent beer. The lounge smelt and had no atmosphere so we drank outside. Sorry, but today is the last time I'm giving this pub a chance.

Whilst camping local, we decided to drop in for a lunch time drink. Really appreciated the bar being dog friendly as the weather wasn't great. There was a nice friendly greeting, the bar area was old style with really interesting furniture. The drinks were good and reasonably priced. Would return.

Not many of these delightful country pubs left unfortunately. A fine example of a traditional old world inn. Called in for a quick drink, pleased to say it was everything I expected. Great range of beers and ales, and good home cooked food available. No microwave tasteless meals in here thank you very much. Polite friendly bar staff, happy to chat and pass the time with you.All in all, a great place to visit, cosy, friendly, just what a good pub should be.

We are three retired ladies who like to tho for a walk on a Monday we're don't go too far maybe at the most four miles. We like to have lunch at pubs. Recently we walked around rosliston forestry centre which looked as though it needed some TLC but then we found this lovely pub. Theory have a very varied lunch menu we were spoilt for choice but between us we had sausage egg and chips,lasagne and ham egg pineapple and chips. They were all delicious freshly cooked well presented and lovely atmosphere. We ate in the lounge which is decorated beautifully. . Will certainly visit again pity they don't serve meals in the evening because it would be a lovely venue to go to!

I’ve driven past a few times and noticed a lunchtime sign being advertised. The menu covers everything you would need for lunchtime. I decided on a sausage torpedo roll served with crisps and salad. It hit the spot. Very reasonable priced. Will be back.

From J Boy of DerbyBeautiful cosy typical British pub serving fantastic home cooked food. There is a large and varied menu, and the food was served promptly and piping hot.Owners and staff very friendly, and a good range of beers all at a very reasonable price.Perfect place for a ride out and a lovely lunch.Car park and a small outside seating area.

Was ok not much atmosphere but drinks were good. Very quiet lovely staff. Great too take the dogs with us

I Came for Sunday lunch with my husband. They didn't have any chicken so had too have beef which was really dry , mash and gravy were very lumpy. Roast potatoes still frozen. We didn't enjoy any of our dinner really. Wasn't many people in so no excuse for the awful dinner first time we have used this pub won't be going back again!!!!

Fantastic Sunday lunch by new chef Samantha ! So much flavour compared to how the old chef use to cook Meat tender and juice and roasts beautiful and crispy, homemade stuffing wow!! My children and husband will be back!

From hero local pub to zero pub in the space of a few months. Another example of new landlords (don’t know who they are as no names above the door) trying to follow in the footsteps of a really great, experienced licensee. To begin all was good, but over the months the quality of the beer and food has dipped substantially, and the once loyal customers have voted with their feet. Different bar staff every week, and if you like a bit floorshow, there’s been a few fights recently. At least they’ve got rid of the toybox, which hopefully means less children running around whilst you try and relax. Shame, looks as

We thought we would treat ourself wish we didn’t we order half chicken and chips and my friend order chicken tikka, we then sat down then got told they don’t do the chicken no more even it’s still on menu, my friends poppadum came out first then 10 min then rest of her meal came out I reorder plaice yuk deep fried oil Needs changing. It wasn’t very friendly like it use to be and it’s very cold inside had to keep coat on, the menu not even got the new people name on welcoming u

The barman, Gregory, was the highlight of this visit and everything else was awful.

went here for some drinks after work, new staff member on with no one training her. beer was awful the lady didnt have a clue what she was doing beer had a massive top and when ask for it too be top up she walked and chatted too her partner and ignored me. atmosphere was competely dead!! landlord was rude when he came into the bar, the pub has completely changed wouldnt drink here again!!!

A friend and I planned a circular walk from this pub, into the national forest and Rosliston visitor centre.

Have eaten here several times when pub was run by John and Sherrie, always good food, always good beer (so my husband says).

I have one thing to say again this pub clean professional clean glasses for every type of drink.

Went to this pub for the first time on a Friday night was welcomed by the landlord first who was very professional and helpful service was quick and place felt warm and welcoming even though we were not local , ordered some food which was homely and was just the right price came very quickly and the landlady Karen bought us our food who was the nicest person I've met as a land lady , I would definitely go back again and there's plenty of parking and it's easy to find

A busy country pub, whilst visiting the local forestry we called in for Sunday Lunch. They were extremely busy but the lovely landlady Carol, who has just taken over seated us very quickly and made us so welcome. Food came out very quickly roast beef and roast pork for us all, with extra gravy a nice touch! Piping hot and of a high standard compared to these chains around the area.

Have eaten at this pub for many years but will not be using the pub for lunch again the standard and the quality of the food has gone down hill the bar maid was stuffing food into her mouth and eating whilst serving her language was foul and the chef who came behind the bar looked like she could of done with a good bath we decided not to eat good luck to anyone eating in this place

Fab! 5Xs Best kept secret around South Derbyshire this Pub with its friendly staff/ bar lady/ chief. With its beautiful HOME cooked Chips and large portions absolute treat and sensible prices. Had anther first class meal today with my father in law the lamb hot pot was amazing!Cant wait to go again.Really classy meal and cosy country pub gives the big chains a run for their money any day.Pipes Gang soon to be regulars!

Visited here for lunch with a friend after having been recommended by a different friend whose last visit was about 6 months ago. Pub is in an attractive village and the outside looked well kept with flower baskets. However, on entering the pub we were met with an old cooking fat smell which should have warned us off. However as we had made a special effort and considerable journey we decided to stay and ordered drinks before we ordered food. The bar maid was very pleasant but struggled to find a suitable glass for the gin and tonic as every glass she tried was either badly scratched or cloudy, in the end she served the gin in a Coca Cola glass. The menu was standard pub grub, burgers, curry, chicken nuggets etc. We both ordered the cod and chips which seamed to be the best option. When it arrived it was served with salad which consisted of a single iceberg lettuce leaf about 5-6 gratings of carrot, half a cheap tomato and a Chunk of cucumber also a couple of half rings of red onion. The fish was awful and not cooked even though it was dark brown. It was obviously deep fried straight from the freezer then taken out when browned. The batter was crisp on the outside but uncooked and slimey inside and the fish looked grey. We ate some of the chips, drank our drinks and left. The barmaid was very embarrassed and did say that they had just changed hands and had had dissatisfied customers as well as us. I suggested they change the chef/cook she only charged us for one meal, which going on the standard of the food still was too much to pay. We will not return.

In the centre of the village with friendly staff and locals. Good value sandwiches at lunchtime and good pub grub in the evenings.

Have passed this pub over the last twelve months and called in this evening for the first time. Ordered a drink and asked if they were serving food, we were told food was usually served between 12-2 pm but were shown the menu and they very kindly cooked us food. My husband ordered Gammon and I had the lasagne which we both really enjoyed. We will be returning as the hospitality was excellent, thank you to mine host.

Excellent little country pub with good quality food, and it was so nice to get a proper pint of Bass beer - don't see much of it about these days, sadly.

We have been here approximately 12 times with different friends and family. Staff are great and very helpful accommodating larger parties. The food has always been spot on and fantastic value for money. Looking forward to our return at the end of the month.Highly recommended

The lady at the bar is friendly and helpful. We popped in on the way home. I had a veggie burger and it was really good (I've had a lot of rubbish ones), the chips were lovely and my mum really enjoyed her steak and kidney pie. Two meals and two non alcoholic drinks less than £20 the food was served piping hot and wishing 20 mins. The menu is small but still had two vegetarian options plus various sandwiches and it seems like the kind of place that if you ask for something they would make it for you if possible

Nice little pub in Rosliston, very near the country park. Good tasting food with large portions. Had the steak and ale pie and the fish and chips, all in generous portions. Friendly staff and service with a smile. Well priced. Kids menu also available. Car parking at the rear.

.We are a group of friends who meet up every few weeks and try to look at a different pub and rate them privately, just for fun . 2009 saw our first and only visit and the pub rated it well then. We went to the Bull's Head again in January 2016 and under new ownership this establishment continues to impress. It’s a country pub that does food well. It may be old fashioned in the interior decor but the service is certainly up to the mark. The whole place feels comfortable and “a local”. It was lunchtime in the middle of winter and there was a roaring fire in grate We chose simple lunchtime sausage and fried egg baps with chips plus a ham and chip version......excellent, 2 pints each and really good value at just £11 a head the lot.Make no mistake this is a “pub” but well worth a visit for a semi informal meal and some good beer.

A good honest village pub, that doesn't try to be anything else than what it is. A warm welcome, cosy surrounding's, good beer and good honest value for money food. You probably won't see them being awarded any culinary awards as some of the new gastro pubs strive for, but what you will see are customers leaving satisfied with what they have received! I opted for the Ploughman's, thinking I would have something light after the excesses of Christmas, how wrong could I be, I left 'fromaged' out, and not eating anything else for the rest of the day. If you are looking for something that challenges your tastebuds, then this is not for you, but if you just fancy aride out in the country and want somewhere for a 'nice' lunch, look no further!!

Went for Sunday lunch after our Falconry experience at the forestry centre. I had the roast pork and my partner had the roast beef, both meals were beautifully cooked and well presented. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Would certainly go again when in the area.

Have eaten from both the weekday and the Sunday lunch menus.Both menus offer a great choice given that they promote traditional pub foods. It will be very hard to fine better quality food any where else. All served in a very professional way by pleasant friendly staff.Tracy, Andy and staff always have a warm welcome for you.

4 of us meet here every Thursday evening for the past 4 years, it's a great traditional pub, even though it's a new landlord and landlady Tracy the landlady is very welcoming. they have guest beers, with a great pint of Pedigree.

We have had a Sunday roast here more times than I can remember and it has been absolutely delicious and perfect on every single occasion, all the food is sourced locally and the desserts are all home made, honestly we have yet to find anywhere else that can come close to their roast dinner especially the roast beef. This is a family owned and run pub where you will always receive a very warm welcome and excellent service. Sunday lunch is only served from noon til 2pm on a Sunday and you cannot book. 5 stars is not enough for this lovely traditional village pub

Pleasant but dated surroundings and average pub food. Warm enough welcome but still felt a bit like entering Norton Vasey. " Are you local?".

Popped in to this Pub today after visiting the Forestry Centre and reading the reviews on Trip Adviser. I cant fault it all, the landlord was very welcoming, the food was stunning and the beer was spot on. Definetley wont be long until our next visit.

If you are looking for a good country pub lunch, then you won't go far wrong at the Bulls Head, Rosliston. John, the Landlord and his son Tim, will make you most welcome. The food is good, the beer excellent and the whole pub is scrupulously clean. Beware though, bookings are not taken, so to be sure of a seat, arrive early. Especially on a Sunday, be there by 12.00 noon. Until my wife passed away last year, we were regular customers for eighteen years. That speaks for itself.

We called in to the Bulls Head on our way to Walton on Trent and enjoyed a super pint, excellent lunch and the lovely friendly village pub.The staff were very efficient and extremely pleasant as well as the locals.Highly recommended for their beer, food and friendly staff.

The pint of carling was second to non, the jim beam - well what can I say o boy! The owners made me feel very welcome even though I'm very odd. The pie was tasty as my mums beans on toast. The also serve bass so get in there for one. And as for their crisp section, you wouldn't see that in the walkers factory. Also very excellent live music from Paul Dawson and the gang I think they were called. The toilets could do with a clean after my visit. All in all a 5 star place plus a bit of eye candy behind the bar with the young man who serves.

If you want a warm reception then look no further than this place.The welcome you receive from The owners Sherri & John not forgettingTim is second to none no-matter what time you go in, They are always pleased tosee you. The food is worth a mention as well,we had a meal today that was absolutelydelicious and at the right price,Its nice to find such a friendly pub. well worth a visit.

Following a morning's winter walk, there is nothing better than a warm Pub, a thirst quenching Pint and a hot meal.The Bulls Head at Rosliston fits the bill. An excellent pint of Doombar (Pedigree also available) was followed by Home made Steak and Kidney pie (£7.95) I think pie is misleading as it was actually a puff pastry lid simply put on top of a stew of steak and Kidney meat. Never the less it was well cooked accompanied by carrots and peas and filled us up nicely. My colleague had the Lasagne (£8.95) which came piping hot ( cynically commented on as allegedly micro waved?) but again was declared tasty.All in all a satisfactory Pub Lunch meal on Monday made for an agreeable start to the week.
