The Pied Bull Hotel and Restaurant in St. Helens

Lovely food great all the staff are very polite and very helpful On Saturdays they have a DJ playing lovely tracks the DJ doesn't speak he just puts good music on... I went together with my 4 friends it was such a a great day out xx At the night time they also had a live singer which was a great experience.. Did I say we all had our dogs biscuits and water are available..

After meeting our walking friends at the Pied Bull for coffees we enjoyed a leisurely (age appropriate!) walk nearby before returning for our pre-booked meal. Amazing hospitality from Lea and great meals enjoyed by all. We were looking forward to ordering desserts but we were all too stuffed after the main meal. No criticism, it just gives me an opportunity to go back and try again! Well done team, great service and quality as usual 10/10

We moved into the area in August and the people we bought the house off rated this place - we had heard mixed reviews whilst drinking locally but thought since on the Facebook page was advertised it was their anniversary’s day and myself partner and Children fancied a roast thought we go along Firstly when I went to book a table on the website there was plenty of availability so we decided to drive down and ask on the bar The lady on the bar - when we asked for table was quite rude - stated there was a private party from 6.30 in the back room ?? And tables were limited - assumed from reading the Facebook page it was open to all customers Then we have a young girl tell us we could have a table - and gave us menus when asking questions about the menu she was unsure of the answers and said she needed to go and ask - my partner asked what the bread sauce was - which was on the chicken roast option - she came back said it was creamy sauce made with flour and milk - my partner was up for trying it When the food arrived - he asked where the white sauce was and her reply was - we have run out !! Think be nice to let us know that so he could decide if he stil wanted it The roast potatoes were rock hard And majority we could not eat could not even slice them with knife and fork and lacked any potato inside The cauliflower cheese we ordered extra was so dried up to the serving dish - cauliflower cheese should have a sauce over it !! Our family meal came to 89 pounds and felt it was lacking in areas for that price The pub had a feel that it welcomed regulars and that feel came from the bar staff and that is sad when we are new to the area and has good potential We have visited Thursday for quiz night and Friday evening few weeks ago and the bar staff was very different and very friendly on those occasions which made us return What a shame

This place has so much potential, but is really falling short in a number of ways. I’m surprised it’s getting so many good reviews and can only assume it’s because people want to be loyal and support their local. Firstly, they encourage people to drop in and work from the Pied Bull but they don’t provide any WiFi whatsoever. You have to rely on the public cloud which is temperamental at best, and this is on a high street with zero phone signal. There are loads of professionals working remotely in the area, WiFi is a basic expectation and they are missing out on potential business by not having their own WiFi. We’ve been in several times and had poor drinks service. Order a cocktail - the girl who does cocktails isn’t working today, sorry. Order a Coke, it’s flat. Ask for a replacement, they just pour another exactly the same and tell you it’s fine. The food is just OK, it depends what you order. You can get much better gastro food for the same price elsewhere, and served by staff that aren’t as disdainful. The place is newly refurbished but certain areas are a mess, namely the toilets - wallpaper peeling off, grubby decor, doesn’t feel clean. A young manager there today was frankly smarmy and insincere. I’m sure it’s a hard job but a bit more attention to detail and genuine customer focus would go a long way. We had a reservation for large family meal in a months time but based on our recent experiences have decided to cancel. This has the potential to be a very successful elevated gastro destination but it’s sliding back into basic fayre and mediocre service at best.

Second visit to Pied Bull, each time has been excellent, service, the fresh menu, and really helpfull staff. This has to be the bes gastro pub I have ever been to. Highly recommended.

Wowowow!!! I havent been in since the Pied Bull was taken over by new owners and I have to say this place has definitely changed for the better… I have to mention too the service we received was amazing. Ben, I think the manager, saw to us on a what seemed to be chocka Sunday for them and at first we were told there might not be space for us as they were fully booked but he managed to find us a table and thankfully squeezed us in for an absolutely delicious impromptu Sunday lunch walking the dog - PS the Pied Bull isn’t just your average dog friendly pub, Bruno not only got his own “doggy dinner” for free with our order which he wolfed down 🤣🤩 Ben also made sure his water was topped up as it was a hot day which was really thoughtful. Our actual meal itself was amazing we weren’t sure which roast to go for but Ben was super helpful and helped us choose with his own recommendations, I had the roast chicken dinner and my partner had the roast beef rump dinner and the cauliflower cheese side and WOW it was so good, prices weren’t too expensive and the portions are quite generous too. We will definitely have to come back, I’d suggest booking ahead especially if it’s a nice sunny day we would’ve loved to have sat out on the patio but couldn’t with the dog so we’ll 100% be back for some drinks out on the patio in the sunshine 🤩🤩🤩

The staff here are amazing- so friendly and attentive. The manager, Ben, made sure we were happy with our seats and made sure everything was okay with our food. The food itself was so tasty - we will definitely becoming back with some more friends and family. A cheeky coffee with dessert was definitely a highlight. I would definitely recommend this pub to anyone - especially anyone going for a walk through Newton with their dogs!!

If you want to be looked after very well when you go out for a meal or just for a drink then the Pied Bull is the place to go. The staff are all very friendly and make sure you enjoy your time with them. The food is great too.

Visited the pied bull for Sunday lunch. First Sunday here in ages. What can I say apart from excellent. Staff friendly, showed to our table, drinks order taken. Surroundings lovely. Given menus and a few minutes later order taken. Food was delicious. It was all hot and fresh. We will definitely be returning.

Didnt have food so couldnt comment. Didnt have to wait too long for service & was a busy Saturday. Great atmosphere.

Had lunch today - gluten free option was delicious . Staff were friendly and service was very quick with extra checks that we were satisfied - which we were

Great for a drink or something to eat, the food is very tasty and well presented. It’s always a great atmosphere and the staff are friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!

Nice bar, attentive staff, with a good selection of beers on tap. Overall, it's a nice bar. However, the speaker system is something to be desired! Tinny and awful sound! Something that could be a quick fix?

Haven't eaten here just yet we just had a couple of drinks but it was a very nice place and good service by Josh I think his name was we will definitely be back for food soon.

I visited the Pied Bull with my friend for lunch. We needed gluten-free option and the choices were knowledgeably given by the helpful waitress and gluten-free bread was available for a sandwich which was great. Comfortable seating outside on a sunny day feels very Mediterranean! The staff were attentive and friendly. Will definitely visit again!

Had a lovely meal on Sunday, we had chicken schnitzel and fish and chips both tasted great, highly recommend. Staff friendly and helpful as always

Had a lovely meal here, 1st time visiting, the lad behind the bar was lovely, the terrace outside is a good addition and was full.

Great Sunday veg roast dinner alternative, worked wonders on the slight hangover in the sunshine

Service good wine over priced double the cost off the Royal 5 mins walk away

Please be aware of parking charges when you go to this pub car park !!! :-( I have received a £60 PARKING CHARGE!!! Last week I parked on the car park waiting for my friend to arrive to go into the pub for lunch, as a female I do not like walking in a pub on my own. I sat waiting for 36 mins for my friend, who then called to say she had been in an accident and could not make lunch. The car park was not full as there were only about 4 cars on it. As I had never been to this pub before I was not aware that AS SOON AS YOU ARRIVE ON THE CAR PARK - you have to go into the pub to register your car onto a computer system. Obviously I did not know about this process as never been here before, so did not go into the pub as I got a call to leave as my friend had had a accident. Now I have received a £60 PARKING CHARGE. I did go to this pub for lunch yesterday with my friend as I had not received the fine before this and the food was acceptable, but not large portions. As you can imagine I am very upset and angry by this parking charge and because of this reason I will not go to this pub again. If I appeal the charge and lose, I shall have to pay £100 instead of the £60 - this is a joke!!

Called in for tea one evening. The pub wasn't busy so now problem getting a table where we wanted. The food was very good, I had the chicken and ham hock pie and thoroughly enjoyed it, very tasty with nice chunks of meat. My partner had the steak and Ale pie and that looked every bit as good with nice chunks of steak. Over all, a pleasant visit, friendly staff and reasonable prices. Will definitely go again.

Portion size was far too small. We went for dinner and I had to get more dinner when I got home as I was still hungry. Food was nice enough despite the small portion but price is what I would have expected to pay for two large teas. I dought ever going back now for this reason. We shouldn't be expecting high cost low quantities

Visited today the 2 staff that where on duty where lovely and very helpful and professional, our food was absolutely delicious and well presented and hot . My only criticism is that there was people vaping inside I don’t know if this is something you allow or if it was being done behind the staffs back.

Not the best we were rushed to order food. Ordered the chicken burger which was bland the slaw was red cabbage and had the smallest portion of fries. Ordered a cider went outside to have a vape came back in and my drink had been cleared away. After someone in our group told the young lad what happened his reply was "it wasn't me" and that was it no offer to replace it. We were then asked by another girl if we'd like to order more drinks.

Very overpriced, service was terrible, awful food and rude staff. If the prices inside weren't enough you then get stung to park in their carpark. I didn't see any signs, the whole place is a scam run by crooks. AVOID AT ALL COSTS !!

Very expensive together with an aggresive parking strategy where you get fined even when you have been a customer at the pub...wont go again and definately would not recommend it !!

Extremely slow service, despite not being very busy mid afternoon. Staff kept forgetting to bring our drinks too, we had to remind them a few times. Allergen menu was very difficult to navigate using their online QR code, especially with no signal and poor WiFi it was impossible. Room for improvement: always have a printed copy of the allergens, please! When a waiter came over with their own phone to show me the allergen menu it was hard to decode as the food shown on the allergen menu was different, or not in order to what was shown on the printed menu. When I finally figured out what I was allowed to have, the manager came and took my order and knew I couldn't have wheat. When the meal finally came, my meal has a Yorkshire pudding on top of it! That has wheat.So cross contamination. And the manager knew that the Yorkshire pudding couldn't be put on the plate. So clearly lack of communication with the waiters and the kitchen staff. GF sticky toffee was served with ice-cream rather than custard which I asked for, and the Sticky toffee has been over microwaved so it was really hard and dry. Other than that, the rest of the food I was able to have was great. But service in need for improvement. Hopefully it was just a 'bad' day

This place is superb, past it for many years and never been in, what a mistake that was. It was perfect, great food in a fabulous pub and lovely staff, I cannot fault it excellent....

I was with 3 others at the Pied Bull for a 'Sip & Paint' evening. It was in credibly well organised- easels, paints, brushes & subject Roses in a vase which we had to paint. We got a drink from the bar & were guided through the painting. Great fun. We then had a meal afterwards in the bar. Service adequate. Food fine. Good price. Reasonable collection. Staff a little inexperienced the night we were there but friendly enough. But a crowd of drinkers came in & were in the bar area but were incredibly noisy. You couldn't hear the waitress or friends other side of the table. But that wasn't the pub's fault. Overall,

came in before young blonde lad served me. great manners and service and very polite

Passing time at the pub waiting for St Peter's primary school to send their children home! The sun had no hat on that day and it was extremely hot and sunny. We sat outside having a drink and trying to read our phones under the table, waiting for St Peter's to discharge their kids!

Great food . Great menu . Will be definitely a regular.

Lovely and clean and cosy very friendly pub didn't have meals but wot I saw looked yummy.

Decent pub with friendly and helpful staff.

Loved the atmosphere and the decor. Will be visiting again also dog friendly which is a massive plus

Really nice pub with friendly staff

My wife and I have been coming here for years. Always been a bit hit and miss but since the new owners have taken over, its the place to be. The owners are always wandering around making sure you have the best experience. You have to be a bit thick to not notice the parking signs outside and inside. They have to put parking rules in due to selfish people filling up the car park and going elsewhere. Two other places on the High St have had to do this. Great beer selection.

Mother's day dinner was very nice, together with the atmosphere. The fact you allow dogs is an even bigger bonus. Thank you x

Love the Lunchtime special, great food, choice of drink for £10...plus service with a smile xx

I booked a meal/party here for my wife’s birthday. The food was lovely. The private room at the rear of the pub was perfect for a party. We had a few last minute changes and some guests were late. Nothing was a problem and Michael and his staff were very helpful and accommodating. All our guests thoroughly enjoyed. We would definately recommend. 👍

End of Sunday evening drinks before heading home. Quite a nice inviting pub from the outside. Inside a busy pub with lots of drinks options. Asked for an NZ SV for GF alongside other drinks. Knew from taste it wasn’t what was ordered. However when I went to the bar the barman said it definitely was. I said it definitely wasn’t and he brought the bottle across to show me. And it definitely wasn’t!!! Anyway it was met with a shrug and a “we don’t have any left” and that was it. Not a great way to deal with things.

BEWARE! £100 PARKING FINE 16 of us attended The Pied Bull on 24th Feb 2024 following my Granddaughters birthday party. We had 3 rounds of drinks totalling over £150 plus we had bar food. Apparently you need to record your car registration but I wasn't aware as I wasn't told so 3 weeks later we receive a £100 parking fine even though we were patrons and probably spending more per head than most others there that day. Beware or better still steer clear!

Second time going here for dinner and again everything was perfect. I am vegan and also have an almond allergy and gluten intolerant, I had 3 courses which is great considering it’s a small menu, the young girl who waited on us actually remembered this from our previous visit that was 3 months ago ,she was helpful and attentive 5 stars for service. The food was delicious and will definitely go back again.

Went on lunch menu Very small portions certainly not value for money Half a cup (not mug) of soup and a ? Equivalent of half a round of bread sandwich. Think I will be raiding the fridge in an hour

Attended for drinks with mature friends after a lovely Thai meal. The singers were good, but unfortunately the miserable bar staff who overcharged for drinks and got orders wrong, means that myself and my friends would not return .

Had a Fantastic meal I had fish and chips and my partner had a Double burger we will defo go back to the Pied Bull ,excellent service

Nice pub with good attentative staff. Food was tasty, but I thought a steak sandwich would consist of two pieces of bread, not one

Really poor experience. Went for lunch with my mum for a belated birthday meal but just appalling really. Waited 50 minutes for our mains. 1 fishfinger sandwich which wasn't warm and 1 sausage & mash which was an ice cream scoop of mash potato and 2 sausage. Completely unwhelmed. Order desserts ( 2 x salted caramel poffiteroes) but gave up after another 45 minute wait. Atmosphere wasn't great, the group of 4 ladies who were chasing food orders were verbally frustrated, while the 2 gentleman at the next table walked out after chasing their order and it's never appeared. Tbf, they ordered first before us and waited an hour. Not sure what to make of all this, but not sure why they offer a lunch service when they couldn't serve 5 tables.

Visited many years ago now much improved in appearance.,Very good service from waitress but food was slow coming - on a Monday! Starter for me only: French onion soup - excellent. Main for me Aberdeen Angus steak with one mushroom and chips - very good. My wife had Vietnamese curry - which she enjoyed but was very pubby. We finished with vanilla ice cream and my wife had crumble - okay. Happy to return.

Had a lovely afternoon here at the pied bull for Mother’s Day. The atmosphere was great, the service wonderful and the food was absolutely delicious. Definitely highly recommend their Sunday roast - everything was just perfect. The little gift bag with daffodils in was a lovely Mother’s Day touch, will definitely be returning!

If you are hungry and you want a Dinner that satisfies you, you won’t get it here. Below average portions, but the quality is good. I would recommend that the Hosts stipulate their Dinner portions of Small medium or large being determined by the price. £18/25 per person isn’t cheap when you take a family, so remember you can get a dinner at half that price at most food chain outlets in the Pubs high street.

Lovely decor and atmosphere, slight wait on food but was all very tasty and homely

Really good food, really helpful staff, quite a nice find

No ambience needs modernizing and don't go if you don't like smelly wet dogs drinking outside in summer ok

Really disappointed unfortunately. Ordered started which were really really good to be fair. After an hour of waiting for our mains to come we had to ask for an update and they’d somehow forgot about them. Our steaks were then rushed and came almost completely raw. The first time in my life is sent food back. To be fair when re cooked it was perfect but after 90 mins of waiting we’d decided we won’t be coming back. We were offered our starters for free which we accepted but the only thing we should have paid for were our drinks. The place was really busy so it must be better than our experience but I’ve no intention of finding out.

Went in for a drink with friends at the end of an evening and lovely vibrant environment. Would return and happy to recommend

Dropped in for a drink great atmosphere good drinks. Cheers

Second visit in a month,this time with family. Food excellent with service to match.very attentive staff, well worth a visit.

First time here dog friendly which is great would deffo go again.

17£ for a medium sauvignon wine and double vodka n coke.ha ha ha im in newton not london.AVOID

Well cooked food ..delicious meal..Great coffee…First time we’ve been .. very pleasantly surprised…Our new favourite…

Car park at rear (be sure to enter your reg plate in the terminal at the bar to avoid fines). Attended funeral wake here. Food not ready at appointed time but coffee/tea served in interim. Nice buffet when it was ready. Rustic atmosphere. Indoor and outdoor seating.

Good food for pub grub standards. Did have to wait a good while for it to arrive tho.

Usually eat here twice a month minimum but lately the sunday dinners for us seem to be going downhill. Twice we have had to send the beef back as it was fatty, this time it was fatty, very chewy and difficult to cut. I'm not sure if they have changed meat providers or maybe we have been unlucky but we were disappointed to say the least. Vegetables though were cooked to perfection as were the roast potatoes. (though not a lot given) Gravy excellent as always. The staff are lovely and helpful but the incessant "do you need more drinks?" could be cut back especially when our glasses are half full still. Sorry it sounds like a moan but I think if they tweaked things a bit more it would be a perfect place. We will still visit but maybe give the roast beef a miss for a while.

Thank you for taking care of my family who were visiting from far and wide (even France!) of the night of my wedding day. Everyone commented on how lovely the rooms were. *Only niggle (though it WASN'T brought to the attention of the hotel) that my elderly, yet sprightly, grandparents of 78 and 83 we the only ones with rooms in the historic part of the hotel with quite a lot of steep stairs. Something worth considering to mention when booking.

Me and my family had a lovely dinner and got served by a lovely woman called Erin she was very polite and caring and helped me and my family with anything we needed. She asked us if we enjoyed our dinner and was just so lovely.

We visited Pied Bull on a very busy Sunday Tea Time, despite this the service was great, we didn't wait long for food, which was delicious and hot, with a good selection of vegetarian/vegan meals. There is ample parking at the back of the pub and the staff are all polite and friendly. We will definitely be returning.

Been before but not for a while, we all had roast beef Sunday lunch, the beef was lovely, the gravy was rich and Smokey, the issue was not enough veg, a few stems of broccoli and the tip of a carrot, the roast potatoes were probably 1 potato cut into 3, the dinner was really nice overall but if you’re a big eater it wouldn’t be enough, we then had apple crumble with custard, the fish was more crumble than apple plus it contained caramel which isn’t what was advertised, also you just get a small jug of custard which isn’t enough for the dish, would go back but I would try something different

Excellent choice of beers and spirits. Did nott eat there so can't comment. However, if the pub trwsts food like it does its ale I can't see too many complaints.

Friendly atmosphere we are always welcome with our dog. Food is always good

Went on a Saturday evening for a meal with family. Had starters & mains all of which were great quality. Pies were 10/10. Guinness was poured nicely and creamy. Staff were lovely and attentive. Atmosphere was great. Would definitely return again and recommend!

Dreary decor in the main br area.

Had a meal booked for Christmas eve. Good atmosphere and the food was good too. We waited for 20+ minutes to pay the bill, nobody came so I went to the bar to pay instead. I normally wouldn't complain about this, BUT we were also hit with a £100 fine for parking on the premises AS A PAYING CUSTOMER!!!!

Had Sunday lunch, party of nine. Everything was superb, food, service& atmosphere. The staff very friendly and all went that extra mile no just for our table, but everybody else's table too. This is going to be our new hang out for eating out. Highly recommend to everybody. Well done and thank you to Michael & All the team.

Best food i ever had the chicken and watermelon 10/10 would have again. i would give this a 6 star if I could only because when i walked in they greeted me with a big warm loving hug #LOL #getyeflapsout

We’ve been here multiple times now and had fabulous meals. Try the pork belly bites, they have a kick and are amazing

Have to say after a couple of bad experiences here with previous manager/owner. We had heard she had gone so gave it another try. Not disappointed. Staff Michael and Ben lovely. Really trying to change it around. Lunch was good. Would like a more varied menu but that could be personal preference. Will definitely return. Thankyou.

Passed so many times but never been inTill tonight, Lovely staff nice atmosphere and the food was really good, fresh and served hot and quick. Good special menue and a good price, Staff were really attentive and helpful will definitely return

Came to the pied bull for Xmas dinner with the family on Xmas eve. Have eaten and drank in the pied bull a few times and it's always been a great experience, and the Xmas eve meal was no different. The staff were amazing and Erin who served our party couldn't have been lovelier. The great thing about this dinner (apart from the food!!! Which is always amazing) was that we didn't feel like we were being hurried! Which was great on a night like Xmas eve. Well worth a visit to the pied bull either for a quiet drink are a big celebration!!

Christmas day meal booked for 1.30pm, really looking forward to a lovely meal sadly a real let down, starters were OK but that's were it ends, main course was served xmas dinner consisted of 2 slices of turkey a piece of what appeared to be meatloaf some sloppy stuffing I think, the tray of veg was rubbery parsnips, carrots and roast potatoes bits, the steak dinner consisted of a piece of peppered steak half a raw mushroom and a hard tomatoes with a couple of fries. They forgot to serve us our dessert and 40mins later after being reminded the Christmas pudding was cold, hard and served with milky ice cream. Another half hour later we got served coffee without cream or sugar which we had to ask for and when that came the coffee was cold which I suppose matched the cold tescos mince pies. The only reason we did not make a fuss about it all was we were out with daughter and grandson and didn't want to spoil the day for them. 1st and definitely the last time we will be visiting the pied bull.

We had Christmas lunch here, and at £80 per head it wasn’t worth it at all! 2 roast potatoes, a few carrots and parsnips, where the veg offering. The parsnips tasting soapy. No sprouts or anything green?? The soup arrived cold, after we were served with amuse-Bouche, which was dropped onto and into my wine glass smashing it. We hardly had an apology, and was left explaining to a young lad what has happened after the young girl had ran off. It wouldn’t have been mentioned if any manager would have come and apologised, but that didn’t happen. The whole day was poorly organised, with not one person asking us if we liked our food, at all all day! Three hours to serve 3 courses…..! Needless to say, we will not be eating out on Christmas Day again. And certainly not at the Pied Bull!

Visited here a few times for food and its been good, including Xmas Dinner Dec 22, so impressed we booked again for this year. That's where the positives end unfortunately. Xmas day Dec 23, arrived and waited 30 minutes before we were asked for drinks. Food arrived warm at best and rock hard undercooked parsnips, them & roasties were rubbery like precooked the day before and microwaved. Again waited & waited for drinks, after ordering had to ask 3 times where drinks where and then double the drinks arrived! Waitress brought puddings, holding them out to us and asked if we wanted them, had to ask which puddings they were to which she responded she didnt know and walked away. Brought coffee & mince pies, not one saucer, and one teaspoon provided for the table. Table behind us got up and left asking for a refund, and the table to the side of us arrived as we were finishing mains and like us sat for 30 mins and other tables who arrived after them served before them.

Very disappointed that they permit dogs in the building, firstly it makes for a non-relaxed setting worrying about getting attacked, secondly it's unpleasant for those who are allergic, and thirdly it's completely unhygienic especially where food is being served. Regarding the food, portion sizes are tiny, the beer battered fish n chips is more like a gold fish and 6 chips coated in salt, you can pay less and get served more in almost every other establishment. As for the staff, what a miserable scruffy bunch, very unprofessional and just waiting for the end of their shifts. All in all, we won't be going back.

Busy Friday night , DJ and 3 deep at bar, shocked to pay £25 for 2 double vodka n cokes and a bittle cider not even grey goose!good atmosphere, no seats for 4 women, found a table that wasn't reserved, was asked to move 5 mins later by a guy , then found another table by chance under coats and bags. Had 1 drink and moved on , couldn't afford stay in here any longer!

Met up with old work friends for a Christmas Dinner. Very pleased with the whole experience. The service was first class and the staff were very helpful and attentive. The food was excellent quality for a pub. We will definitely return in the future and recommend it to friends.

A perfect Sunday dinner Large free car park Real smart pub Super service The roast beef was great Highly recommend

Really improved under new owners after years of neglect - we'll recommended

Booked table for 16.30 at 18.35 mains arrived. 1 had a hair in two meals cold and no one wanted them re heating as not prepared to wait. What should have been a lovely works event .. never again poor service. Some had to leave to be home so missed their desserts

Great to see more vegan options on the menu. I opted for the mushroom and tarragon pudding and it was absolutely fantastic. Perfect roast potatoes as well. Worth the price tag.

Lovely local pub with good atmosphere. Nice selection of drinks. 👍

Amazing pub on our local high street. Atmosphere is always buzzing in here. Staff are really friendly and helpful. Food is great and the singers at the weekends are on point. Definitely recommend

Really nice place to eat and grab a drink. The lunch menu is a bargain for the quality and the standard menu is a bit priced than standard pub food but you get the quality you are paying for

Overall very poor. Went in on Sunday, when the markets were on,fairly early and was only handful of people in. ordered a coffee and a tea. Female member of staff, while at the coffee machine, continued to chat to male member of staff, and laughing and looking at stuff on his fone. Eventually Coffee was plonked on bar, followed by tea pot and milk. I asked for sum sugar, she pointed to a stand by the bar, I picked up the sugar, I then asked for a tray, as we would sit outside she pointed in other direction, I picked up the tray, piled everything on it and he took it outside. Paid and asked for some paper towels as the tables under umbrella were wet. She again pointed to tiny serviettes. Unaware that my hubby had already gave her a 2.50p cash tip till I got outside. We were spending under £6 for our drinks, so quite fair on price, if it was hot! . Did not deserve a penny of that tip, rude, unhelpful and lazy. Ashtrays still full on tables. Tables not wiped, chairs all over the place,guessing from night before. with the 5/6 Members of staff I seen all chatting and doing nothing, you would think that they'd send someone outside to tidy up and wipe the rain water off the tables, knowing there was markets on, and would be busy. But no. If I could give them 0 stars I would Service - dreadful. Coffee - Luke warm. Friendliness - none Appearance of pub - grim It's a good job I took some serviettes as was only given 1 spoon, and certainly wasn't going back in for another. Quickly drank our drinks and left.

My beef was tough and full of grissle.

Nice atmosphere and decent prices. Can get busy at a weekend though

Thank you to the women who served us i think her name was gracie. Very polite and was really quick to help us with anything we needed. I would recommend to anyone wonderful place.

Great Sunday dinner at Pied Bull - really impressed and will return! Lovely Porcetta & Beef dinners, great atmosphere - we really like the service and food here

Visited last month with family - lovely pub and food was really nice. Servers pleasant and courteous So impressed decided to book us all for Christmas Eve

This place is amazing. Friendly atmosphere and beautiful surroundings. The food was amazing and served very promptly. I’ve been in here a number of times and enjoyed every visit since the new managers have taken over. Well worth a visit.
