The steak & ale pie made with suet pudding is the best in the country, lots of delicious meat. The pub is lovely and in a lovely location on the canal. The staff are friendly.

Last night on the canal. Steak pie at the Red Bull was just what we needed, suet crust, rich gravy and absolutely delicious. Some fine ales here to complement it. A good finale to a great week

We had a few pubs in mind but decided on the Red Bull for an early Sunday evening meal. We got a table for 18.30. It was quite busy which is always a good sign. Our table was ready when we entered the bar and the young lady sorted our drinks out in a very timely manner. I don't think I could of got them quicker if I'd of gone to the bar. At this point we were told that there was no rib eye and only 3 beef left on the menu. At this point I was thinking oh no. Only 3 beef. Maybe they skimp on the beef. I decided to go with it. So did my wife. Our friends had roast turkey and scampi. Our starters came really quickly. Our mains were not too long after. I was not disappointed with the beef. It was gorgeous. Loads of it as well. They were certainly not trying to stretch out the portions. We had new potatoes, roast potatoes, cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, carrots and a yorkshire pudding. I would have preferred my yorkshire to have been lighter and harder. All the food was delicious. My wife and friend wanted a pudding but what they wanted was sold out. So as an end to this review my advice would be perhaps book a little earlier than 18.30 so not to be disappointed. The food is so tasty. We will be back.

Food and service was exceptional. Four of us had a fabulous Sunday lunch here today. Sian, Theresa and all of the front of house staff were outstanding. The pub was reasonably busy but as always the food was quickly served and of very high quality. We could not fault it and it was real value for money. So much so that we booked for our next visit.

Being busy we were sat up stairs where you are clearly forgot about, after having to go and find a waitress to take our order a young lady came to take it. Out with my starter of piping hot chicken wing that were totally FROZEN in the middle, after taking them back down stairs as nobody came up to check . Round 2 of the chicken wing's turned up on the same plate with the same salard and sauce, no apology. The chef ( sorry cook ) then sent up the frozen packet and told the waitress it's already cooked ? What! It's frozen ! I just wanted a sorry and a fresh starter nothing more. Shocking customer service, I did ask the waitress for him to attend the table , but he was busy making our mains which we pasted on the stairs as we paid for the warm wine and left. Will not be going back. I'm a local trades man from the town

I was really pleased to find a pub that caters for special dietary requests. I went with a large group of friends for Sunday lunch. I had spoken to the chef a few days earlier and he cooked me a huge piece of salmon as I do not eat meat and made me a diary free pudding at no extra cost. He couldn't be more helpful and understanding. The meal and service were great. Will definitely return.

We have visited this pub before but never had breakfast. We were greeted, as usual, by the pleasant and helpful tenant. We really like the interior decor of this pub and it’s a very pleasant place to eat and have a drink. There is also outside seating right next to the canal and a lovely place to sit on a warm sunny day watching the canal barges going through the lock. We ordered the “Full English” which included tea or coffee which came in a decent sized cup and both were very good and hot. The breakfast was freshly cooked with a good variety of produce, of a good portion and hot. The price of £5.95 was excellent value, especially as it included drinks. We would definitely be back.

After a long 15 months of lockdown and the slow easing of our restrictions, my husband and I dropped the baby off to my mums house and literally booked in The Red Bull as a last minute treat. It was the most perfect tea time for us! The environment was clean, and covid safe. The staff were lovely, friendly and couldn’t be any more helpful. The food, well…the steak and ale pie was AMAZING!! We took our pudding home as we couldn’t fit it in but didn’t want to sacrifice our sweet tooth later this evening! Thank you for the best teatime!

I'm very aware of the difficulties pubs find themselves in at the moment with new staff after the latest lockdown so when I came over the Bank Holiday weekend, I wasn't too surprised that things were a little slow. However, after visiting again yesterday it was great to see things were back to 'the old norm'. Staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, a new one-way system has been implemented to allow customers to order food and drink directly at the bar to avoid long waits for table service, food was very reasonable and tasty and great selection at the bar. Will be here again next Sunday; thank you!

Nice evening for a stroll and a drink. However waited for I’ve 25 minutes to be served. Went in to enquire if someone could come out to take our order (COVID restrictions) and the lady inside rudely told me to go outside. Waited for a further 20 minutes for a young lad to come who had no idea how to write our order (he did explain that it was his first day). After a further 10 minutes he came back to ask if we wanted large or small drinks despite writing down pints!!! Eventually our order arrived but a quick drink turned into a very long drawn out experience. Ok they are just getting up and running again but there is no excuse for rudeness.

Even though we're local, for whatever reason we'd not actually been here before. I have to say we were really impressed, & after reading marieA1886VO's review, left bemused to be honest. From a Covid point of view it's really well organised. One way system, hand cleansing & Track & trace as soon as you walk in, welcoming, attentive staff & all tables thoroughly cleansed straight after being vacated. Impressive. Of more long term importance (hopefully) the food's really good quality, home cooked fare & great value, & we didn't have meals from the budget menu either. We even queried our bill as it seemed too cheap! It's a nice family friendly atmosphere, nicely appointed & we'll definitely be back soon. Hats off to all the staff!

Visited the pub with a view to dining as we were on a narrowboat passing through, The greeting we got was off-putting to say the least, we were told only 1 of our group could enter and to sit outside, witch under the current circumstances is acceptable. However after ordering the drinks and obtaining a menu I was told to collect my drinks at the bar and carry 7 drinks to the table outside. (Everyware else we had visited in the previous couple of month the staff would deliver the drinks on a tray to the table waring masks). None of the staff seemed bothered about corona virus and were more interested in profit. ALL THE DRINKS WERE SERVED IN SINGLE USE PLASIC GLASSES. When I asked the landlord he said he didn't care and it was easier and promptly cleared all the tables into the waste bins with no regard for the environment. Sat a table away was a couple who had ordered steak at around 18 pound per person,it came with plastic knives and forks but they seemed to persevere with great difficulty. THIS IS A PUB THAT IS USING COVID TO THERE ADVANTAGE. WE had 1 more drink as it was my 65th birthday. SOMEONE NEEDS TO SORT THIS PUB OUT. I visited the rest rooms before leaving there was no hand sanitiser to be seen as we have noticed in other establishments. PEOPLE INSIDE THE PUB WERE NOT SOCIALLY DISTANCED IN ANY WAY AND WERE LESS THAN 2 METRES APART.NOT ONLY WAS THE SERVICE BAD BUT ITWAS THE WORST PUB FOR COVID WE HAD VISITED IN 3 MONTH ON THE NARROWBOAT. The only thing I can say as a positive is the food and drinks looked good. BUT EATING STEAK WITH PLASTIC IS REDICULOUS.

I get so annoyed when people go out to eat and dont say a word when asked if everything is OK, but go home and slag off the food .SIMPLE RULE >>> If something is not right STOP EATING>>> summon the waiter and explain quietly & politely whats wrong and ALSO say what you would like them to do to fix it. If you had done this you might have had a most enjoyable night out.As for writing " we were too polite to say " Words fail me . :-(I ate there yesterday.

Wine also quite limited. When the food arrived it was very dry and didn’t taste great I know it was the end of the day and perhaps not a lot left but it really wasn’t the best...it was not an enjoyable meal for any of us we were to polite to say it wasn’t good so just paid and left..perhaps this pub is more for a stop and drink but would not rate the food sorry!

We asked for a plate to put a slice of fat which was supposed to be pork and previously expressed surprise when we asked for more veg as the portion was very small and then charged extra. We were then embarrassed at the bar after paying today by asking us not to come again as we complain too much.Not a good place to go if you want a warm reception and the management obviously don't want feedback and constructive comment.

Came in here with my family after going through a fair few locks along the canal. There is the option to eat outside as well as inside. We chose to sit inside. There was a few things that had been sold out due to it being a busy day (which was expected it was a lovely hot day!) The waitress made us aware of what had been sold out and gave us expectations on food wait which wasn't really long at all. The food was lovely and was washed down well with a pint! The pub is a Robinson's Brewery so you can expect decent beers like Trooper and Dizzy Blonde. Overall a fab experience and if I ever find myself this was again would definitely pop in here. The service from the waitress/bartender was fab, she was bubbly and friendly just what you want!

Came in here for a meal with family after a very wet day on the canal. A warm welcome and a lovely, freshly cooked meal at a large table at the back of the bar area. Genuine home cooked food, all delicious, with generous portions and perfectly cooked fresh veg. Had a variety of dishes from the menu and everyone very happy with their choice. Some pub 'classics' on offer but also some more unusual and spicy dishes. Combine a visit with a walk along the canal, or if like us, you moored up for the night , then its great for a decent evening meal.

Popped in to have a drink while we were visiting the area. One member of staff looked directly at us and ignored us. The blonde lady behind the bar was friendlier. Put us off going back which is a pity.

Since this pub changed hands recently, the food and the beer had improved tremendously. The food is good wholesome home cooking and reasonably priced. The beer is very good too - well worth a visit.

Just been today for a quick lunch service very very good . Beer really nice and again good service . Unfortunately food although big portions was a bit to greasy for me and the Mrs . Chips greasy garlic bread greasy garlic mushrooms greasy . This could be so much better but for the grease as the flavour was very nice . So good luck to red bull hope you can work this issue out

Went to the Red Bull last night for a meal for my nans 70th birthday, there was 16 of us, food was amazing and cooked to perfection, couldn't fault anything, we had the upstairs room it was lovely. The staff were really good and really helpful when we needed something, we can't wait to come back we are already planning on the next meal there, great location right next to the canal can't wait come back in summer to have a drink by the canal. Thank you so much to all the staff last night :)

We went for a meal with friends and the knowledge of the waiting staff was poor. Quite a few items were sold out.

Visited here several times over the past 6 months. I love this quaint pub! Its nice to have a decent local pub at last walking distance from my home in Talke. The food is lovely home cooked and great value for money. We are defiantly becoming regulars. i recommend the steak and ale pie, surf and turf is also good

Sunday lunch today..really good value however, with a little more attention to detail, this proper pub could make a name for itself.

Called in for the first time 2 Monday's ago. Obviously didn't expect it to be busy or lively. A few 'locals' at the bar. Pleasant landlord and ordered a couple of pints. Imagine it is nice in the summer months as there is a canal at the rear. Loads of parking and would re-visit again in the future

Welcoming pub with a good choice of food. Very reasonably priced & great quality. 3 of us tonight, had fish n chips, steak & ale pie & chicken breast in white wine sauce. All were very tasty, generous portions lovely chips. Is a Robinson’s pub so limited beer choice. Give it a try you won’t be disappointed.

We visited the bull after we had been to a christening and the staff were cheery and helpful, my wife likes her guns and she was recommended to try something new and this went down a treat. I just had standard lager.

Wanted to try this as my wife wanted a treat..so we both were excited. Drove 16 miles and reached 1pm, the pub looked deserted. Parked the car and tried our luck! It was closed, curtains drawn, knocked on the door, no response! Called the number just hoping...no luck! No notice outside, says open. Unbelievable!

Visited 27th October with 6 family members to celebrate a birthday. A wide choice on the menu, with excellent quality food which we all enjoyed and portion sizes were more than adequate. We all had mains, dessert and coffee and it was excellent value for money. Friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere made this a really enjoyable visit. We will definitely be going back there again.
