Ye Old Bulls Head Inn in Isle of Anglesey

We are on holiday near to Beaumaris. Yesterday we phoned The Bull 5 times to get through (centrally managed) we were told the restaurant was walk ins only. We got there and many tables were reserved! We were met by quite a rude man with no intention of helping us find a table or advise on the menu. I went to the bar eventually to ask about gluten free food as I have coeliac disease and I was given a manual to look through as that’s what they do now! It was then we noticed the three star hygiene rating!!!!!!!! Terrible service, rudeness, worrying as someone with a serious food allergy and concern over the hygiene rating. We left the premises and went to a lovely, friendly Italian restaurant over the road.

Very disappointed, quality of food was so average, Wetherspoons average , Sat next to tables that were full of empty dishes and glasses from previous customers sitting around for at least 30 minutes before they were cleared up, Very small portions for the main course, very average quality. We’ve had better at Wetherspoons and that’s saying something

Food very poor , had gammon which was tough the chips were hard and cold ! Wetherspoon quality ! Won’t recommend! Very disappointing

2nd time we have visited in a week. The staff great but not enough of them! Drinks expensive (as they are everywhere in Beaumaris) food mediocre! Pie of the day dry and pastry hard! Chips tasted as if had been reheated?! Gammon tough! And fish overcooked! Similar experience the first time but thought we would give it another chance. We won't be coming again if in Beaumaris!

Very Disappointed. We arrived late on Friday and they managed to give us a meal before the kitchen closed. The food was awful and so overpriced. I had a chicken Caesar salad it was £17! I was expecting something amazing and it was a terrible! The price they charge for mediocre and poor food is a joke. For the prices they charge I would expect top quality food and table service. You would be better going to a fast food chain ! Definitely Avoid.

We always went to the Bull when visiting Anglesey and considered it as one of the best restaurants on the island. Clearly it's changed hands recently and is now part of a chain (Inn collection group). We called in on Fri the 3rd of May on the off chance of getting a table and expecting not to get in and it was half empty. When we got the food we realised why. What a loss. Avoid!

This is an excellent pub 👍🏻👍🏻 great people giving great service, fantastic food and good beer! Almost didn’t want to share in case it’s too busy next time!

The food was truly awful,sent my meal back as lukewarm chicken is not good for anyone's tummy,Mine came with according to the menu a vegetable salad that consisted of what looked like bagged lettuce from the supermarket with a few shredded carrots and coloured onion totally bland and not nice It's very serve yourself you order drinks at the you then order your food at the bar...not very relaxing at all ,I would go elsewhere to eat plenty of nicer places than this on Anglesey We won't return

My wife and I loved our three night stay. We were accommodated in the cream room it was really comfortable and we really liked the decor. We had one evening meal which we thought was very tasty but breakfast was exceptionally good the quality of ingredients were first class. We also enjoyed the ambience in the bar and a lovely selection of drinks. Finally and arguably the most important the staff throughout the hotel are great and we look forward to staying again.

Firstly I should say that I can't comment on the food or service because I never got to eat at The Bull.....you can't book a table for less than 8 people and I wasn't prepared to lay out for a taxi to take a chance of getting a table with 3 friends. Also, you are in the hospitality industry...get a real person to answer your phone not a machine telling me to press 1 for....etc Think about the customer experience that you are providing.

Friendly service with welcoming log fire (just what needed on cold wet day). Food basic pub grub but well cooked and presented,

Sat in the room on the left 10 of us for dinner with our dog Food was excellent had the lamb wellington and the kids had burgers - great food and lovely service Lights a bit bright spotlights in the room is the only thing would change -maybe dim them but atmosphere is lovely

We were visiting friends in Menai Bridge and chose this accommodation for an overnight stay and were not disappointed. Great location, comfortable and quiet rooms but most importantly the staff were great helping with any issues. Good breakfast.

Absolutely faultless. Our third visit in the last few weeks. Steaks cooked to perfection, chips really are something else. Good real ale and an extensive drinks menu. Have to also mention, the fish and chips we had on a previous visit…cannot recall having better. Highly recommend. Staff are so attentive and friendly. Nothings too much trouble. One of my favourite restaurants. Will be back many times through the summer.

Food was very disappointing,welcome was lukewarm.Won’t be going again.This hotel was a gem,food and service always great….what happened?

2 stars for the lovely staff. Sorry guys hate leaving poor review for local business as local guests but the scampi was appalling. My daughter 14yrs said exactly same as I was thinking ,it was the worst ever had. Soggy , coating just falling apart, the chips were awful ,all looked thrown on the plate,poor presentation .For £17 it was like a lunchtime lite bite . Other member had crumble pud....lashings of custard advertised.....noticed small little mini sauce boat jug with something congealed inside . As family 80th gathering I didn't make a fuss but we won't be back . Basic low grade cheap pub fare for top dollar price ! Menu very simple and not difficult to get wrong ! I had seen similar review from about a week ago but we gave it the benefit of the doubt ..unfortunately. Food wasn't a patch on the newly refurbished Victoria Menai Bridge or the fabulous Boathouse Red Wharf ....

That burger was 10/10 Adam the person that served me was so polite and patient if I could give the star review a 10 I would! I will definitely come here again because the food is amazing and so is the staff highly recommended

I’ve visited several times over the last couple of years and really liked the ambience, service and quality of the food. I’ve taken lots of visiting friends and they’ve all been impressed. Visited today and it’s a shadow of its former self. No longer greeted by a friendly member of staff who showed you to your table, it was find your own table and order at the bar… The place was pretty empty but I reassured my friend the food was always good. No longer a nice concise menu instead a large pub-style static menu and prices more aligned with a London pub. When our food arrived it was average at best and at £19 for a burger I expected more. It’s clear it’s be bought by a pub chain and has lost all its charm and character. I won’t be visiting again.

Once again the food was to the normal standard excellent and the service outstanding. We had the dragon spiced sausages wow!!! & pulled beef wellington…. We will return, I can highly recommend this place. Thanks Dee & John H

Coeliac friendly with amazing choice of dishes. Staff really knowledgeable reards gluten free diet and very helpful. Lovely atmosphere, excellent food. Highly recommended.

I stopped here after a day cycling in Snowdonia and thought I'd have a quick pint. The fire was roaring and it was difficult to leave. As such I booked a meal for the family the night after and it didn't disappoint. Fantastic and friendly service and great food, highly recommended.

We had a booking for 6 adults and a baby, from the minute we stepped into the restaurant the staff went above and beyond to make our Christmas Day perfect. Food was delicious and very well organised with no issues at all. Staff friendly, funny and very helpful. Especially Jackie & Paul. Big thank you and we can’t wait to return.

Fantastic from start to finish, lovely welcome followed by lovely food, so good that we’ve booked the whole family back in tomorrow..

The Bull used to be the epitome of perfection of a pub, with a very good bistro at the back. Everything absolutely spotless, staff in green aprons and the bar room polished and immaculate. It always looked as if it had fallen in from 1930 and was like an immaculate working museum. Going there was an absolute pleasure and people came from far and wide. Now it is shoddy and unloved, and the grubby ketchup bottles on the bar room tables optimise the complete drop in standards. Holes in the plaster, and a big screen TV on one wall. How the mighty are fallen. It's just another grubby pub.

The staff were friendly, helpful and attentive. Breakfast was made with good quality ingredients, not greasy and well presented, (although the bacon was hard and chewy). The bed was good quality and comfortable, supportive but not hard, the room was clean. The room was a different matter. Initial impressions of trying to look traditional was spoilt by the modern white painted wardrobe, as no attempt had been made to blend it in with the rest of the room. Whilst designed to look good, the room was hopelessly impractical. The biggest issue was having to move furniture to get to the plugs for charging the phone, and either move furniture or scrabble on the floor under the table to plug in the hairdryer. There was a seat for hair and make-up, however the mirror was so high on the wall, you couldn't use the seat and mirror together. An older, less fit or able person wold really have struggled completing normal tasks in this room. In the bathroom, the pump bottles for soap and lotion were crammed into a metal 'basket', but due to poor fit, this made it more difficult to use the pump without moving them to a hard surface. In the shower, the pump bottles are placed on the wall close to the shower, However to use them you have to put your hand through the water to collect soap or conditioner. This is made worse for a left-handed person; anything on your hand is mostly washed off when you can't avoid withdrawing your hand through the water. The pump bottles themselves are not designed for multi re-use and durability, and no one seems to check that they are still working properly. The impracticability and lack of attention to detail, for what is marketed as one of their better rooms, does not warrant the price being charged. Poor value for money and totally lacking a luxury experience.

We’ve recently spent a weekend in Beaumaris and ate in The Bull each night. There’s a snug little bar with a lovely open fire. Wish we could’ve found a table in there but it was too busy and we were thirsty for a pint. You...

Lovely pub, open fire, drinks great and gorgeous welcoming restaurant in the back. We had a super meal here tonight and the staff were fantastically lovely. We visited with my autistic son and Jacqui, was so kind and accommodating . He loved her and said...

We stayed here 2 nights and it was lovely. Old fashioned pub but room was lovely. Food in pub was good pub food. Staff friendly and helpful. Excellent location, Beaumaris is beautiful.

We were staying close to Beaumaris and chose to eat here for a meal one night. We were so lucky that we did. The host was so friendly and helpful and when asked about gluten free she gave us lots of information. The food was...

Excellent customer service: asked for something out of the ordinary, and response was exceptional. (Atlantic Beer a great hit)

Visited a few years ago and stayed overnight. Remember enjoying our stay especially drinks in the bar and offered a selection of gins. This time we visited with our dog and sat in the very comfortable lounge. Just very surprised that they only stock one...

Couple of great afternoons here, the staff were so attentive. Would highly recommend. Relaxed atmosphere. Dog friendly too.

We had a fabulous Sunday lunch at The Bull, beef, Yorkshire pud, roasties, veg & plenty of gravy. It was delicious & we would highly recommend this restaurant as the staff are very nice too.

Gorgeous Hidden Gem. Almost wouldn't know it was here if it wasn't for a recommendation by a family friend. We came to celebrate a birthday and were pleasantly surprised by absolutely everything. Welcomed and served by Ade and Adam, the atmosphere and decor were great,...

Nice comfortable room. Breakfast was good but the server had to work hard as he was by himself. Evening food was good pub food. The lower bar always took time to be served. Very nice lounge, and old bar area to enjoy drinks. It is...

Popped into this great pub for a bite to eat. My friend and I had the Vegetable curry soup, it was so tasty, gorgeous crispy onions and mango fritter topping it served with crusty bread and we shared a bowl of piping hot hand cut...

We spent a couple of nights here. The room was very good. The menu had great variety, so ate here both nights, and were not disappointed. The breakfasts were also very good.

A very disappointing visit but acknowledge that we were visitors and not residents - it may be possible that residents have different experiences. We were seated very quickly and drinks arrived swiftly but then the waiting started. The 2 gentlemen running the restaurant were working...

Having called in earlier in the day to take refuge from the rain,the service was poor to say the least,in their defense,I think our visit coincided with a coach party turning up,fair enough..... That evening it was still raining,and needed to find somewhere quickly,so walked...

After having a poor experience in another establishment just 20 minutes earlier we decided to see if the bull did breakfast. Welcomed immediately and given a menu, served promptly at the bar, and a beautiful welsh breakfast was presented within 10 minutes. The staff were...

Chicken pot pie 'special' two small pieces of chicken, bulked out with potato. Their epic steak pie not available. Not quite up to standard of our last visit. Not enough staff to cope. Napkins and food under tables in outside covered area. I have greatest...

Just walked out of the Bulls Head due to appalling customer service. We arrived at 7.30pm and were asked to have a drink in the bar whilst they prepared the table. Surprisingly our name wasn’t taken. After 15 minutes we went to check if the...

Myself and a friend spent a couple of days in Beaumaris, and whilst staying elsewhere decided to visit the Bulls Head Inn for a drink and something to eat. As soon as you enter the front of the hotel, you are struck by the highly...

Went here as a couple and had a bit of a mixed experience. We were unable to book, as not staying and less than 8 of us, so just turned up hopeful we could get a table. It wasn’t full so we waited with a...

Just had dinner here. We’ve eaten here before and it was “good” then but tonight seemed much more average. I’m sure the prices have gone up and the service was poor. We sat outside as apart from a high top table by the bar it...

Lovely pub and courtyard which is dog friendly. Shame about the food. Hummus starter was overpriced for what you got, also stuffed pepper with feta was very bland & swimming in oil. Kids Mac & cheese was bland, zero seasoning and tasted like packet cheese...

Friendly and attentive front of house team really made our stay more enjoyable. Consistently excellent breakfasts and evening meals plus perfectly kept Bass bitter! Our room was lovely too. Can’t recommend the Bull highly enough.

We were a party of 6 who visited for 2 nights. Rooms and beds were large and comfortable and very clean. Huge bathrooms with large baths and great showers. Staff at the Bull were super nice and helpful, giving us lots of advice on where...

Impromtu visit, was offered tall tables inside, the pub setting or outside. (It's the same menu for all). We got table service however it does say order at the bar so I think it can get a bit confusing. Food is quite expensive (for what...

Had a very pleasant experience when visiting Beaumaris recently, we had drinks served by Tom who was friendly and efficient and very knowledgeable about the wines available and the other offerings. Clean comfortable surroundings would definitely return

Went as a family of 7 for a birthday meal whilst staying in Beaumaris. Staff were very helpful and friendly mostly. 3 out of 7 meals were satisfactory. The other 4 meals were very unsatisfactory. Three had the roast dinner which was very disappointing. The...

Our first visit and definitely won’t be our last The coffee was delicious, served by very friendly and welcoming staff. We sat out in the beautiful courtyard which was ideal as we had our dog with us. Thank you

Loved this restaurant all the staff are fantastic, service was great and the food was spot on great value too

Lovely family meal. Tasty food, friendly, helpful staff. Everyone ordered something different and all were pleased with what they had. Will definitely come again when we are back in Beaumaris later this month.

Attractive historic inn on the high street and in the middle of everything, friendly reception and a surprise: our room was in the adjacent Town House, modern accommodation with a lift. Our room was very spacious and comfortable, stylishly and with a lovely big bed....

We’ve been coming here many years, it has always been incredibly good, but our last meal was very disappointing and just not the same quality. Such a shame, as it’s got a lovely outdoor seating area with heated umbrellas for chilly evenings.

Lovely meal for extended family at the end of a fabulous holiday in Beaumaris! Menu had a good selection of pub favourites - sausage & mash, fish pie etc, - tasty & good portion size. Service for our larger party was excellent - Sioned did...

Arrived after 7pm on a Sunday evening, family of 4 tired and hungry after a days sightseeing. We hadn't booked. Staff were friendly and welcoming, attentive despite being rushed off their feet. there few due to staffing issues but this didn't hamper the experience. Great...

Couldn’t rate it higher. Very fast and great customer service. Could see the staff catering to each table carefully and equally as friendly from where we were sitting. The food was absolutely amazing, my fiancé ordered the rump steak and I ordered the lamb shoulder...

Sadly my husband and I had a terrible experience trying to go out for a meal at the Bull last week. We arrived at 7.10 and ordered drinks in the pub at the front saying we would shortly order food. After ordering drinks we were...

Amazing night to celebrate my daughter’s graduation, food was top notch and so was the staff! It was a very busy evening however the service was quick and always with a smile! I have to make a special mention about Sioned, she was always smiling,...

Very disappointing! We've been coming to the Bull for many yesrs, but the drop in standards, particulary of the staff, is amazing! Won't be coming again unless we hear of a major improvement.

Great food and even better service Adam and the rest of the staff looked after us even when we rocked up with 16 of us.

Went in for a hot drink with a view to getting some food, but after the drinks we decided to go elsewhere. I’m not a coffee snob but the latte was so burnt and bitter it was undrinkable even with two sugars, and the herbal...

The soup was like dishwater. The chips were hard and a funny colour. The skin on chips were very nice. The rest of the food was OK. But all very expensive for what it was.

No booking required! Great service, food and wine in beautiful surroundings and your dog can come too.

We have been using the Bull for over 30 years, and at first the new management seemed to have embraced its ethos, but what a disappointment Sunday night was. We chose to eat outside in the Courtyard - in the past the service there was...

One of the worst meals I’ve had in ages. Food and staff. Definitely not service with a smile. Everywhere seems to say sorry we don’t have enough staff but maybe teach the staff that you do have how to serve / be client facing. One...

Great stop for breakfast. Bobbed in on the off chance, met with very friendly young man(manager possibly) who told Mr dog friendly etc.. Super coffee, best flat white had in age and breakfast of top notch quality. Highly recommended and good value too. Beaunarice is...

We booked The Bull for our anninversary. I am vegan. At the time of booking we stated clearly that one of the party was vegan and could they be catered for at breakfast and was plant milk available for the room. We were assured this...

We’ve eaten here many times. The roast dinners here are that good we travel from Liverpool to get one! Staff are efficient and attentive, making your visit perfect every time :)

Ordered the fish pie & sea bass for my wife & I, taste wise on the sea bass, gorgeous, mussels with it in a white wine sauce nice but really the sauce was so much it was like a bowl of soup, so much sauce...

Spent time in the bar, lounge and restaurant. The first two visits were with the dog and just for drinks. Lovely friendly and chatty atmosphere as always in the bar and now the newly open-to-everyone (and dog), lounge. Enjoyed the restaurant (without dog), too -...

Mediocre, overpriced, go somewhere else. Whoever is reviewing 5 stars don't know what they're talking about.

Served by a lovely girl Sioned who was extremely friendly and welcoming. Would definitely go again.

I would say this is the best place to eat in Beaumaris staff were lovely. So helpful we had lunch and we went back for a drinks just an amazing atmosphere with such helpful people and lovely lovely food

First time at the Bull, a historic venue on Môn, I was excited to visit. The decor is beautiful, but I was quickly disappointed when I saw the menu. I tried to check the menu online before travelling but it’s not available. The menu is...

Called in for Breakfast. Service was a bit disjointed, open for breakfast but didn’t seem to be organised for passing customers just guests staying at the Bull. Breakfast had sat under a heat lamp for too long and eggs were hard and bacon dry.

The staff were great as always Sadly our Birthday celebration was ruined by such poor quality food.

Lovely pub with great atmosphere. Fantastic food. Little gem! Highly recommend to anyone looking for good quality reasonable priced food and drink.

We were upgraded due to being my birthday, the Dr Johnson room so pretty. We enjoyed a great couple of days there, the staff were brilliant & helpful - the bar well stocked & not overpriced - will stay again if in Beaumaris area -...

Traditionally and before the Take Over the atmospheric bar welcomed a mix of grown up locals and visitors happily with not any tables permanently set up for all day happy diner style sarson bottle of vinegar a must event !!! No craft beer choice and...

I was pleasantly surprised to see how much the pub had altered. It is so much more open and inviting. The food choice was vast and really delicious. The portions are very generous. Looking forward to the next visit.

Perfectly situated to explore all of Snowdonia/ North Wales & Anglesey but amidst vibrant ,bustling castellated seaside resort,the property is beautifully appointed and brilliantly staffed… In house bar ( pub) and restaurant,snugs,lounges,nooks and crannies abound…just welcoming and homely,but with top- notch service…

Fantastic friendly service from Sarah. Service with a smile, lovely food and warm friendly atmosphere. Beautiful settings

Thanks Sarah for the nice and friendly reception. Had mussels which were very tasty indeed. And can recommend the mousse if you need something sweet at the end.

Amazing service from our waitress Jacqui, will for sure be coming back, excellent experience. Thank you!!!

This is an old traditional hotel. Lovely setting but: The prices charged for beverages is extreme. A pint of Guinness and large glass of Sauvignon £14 + is extortionate. The bar prices are much too high taking advantage of holiday and local clientele.

Staff very friendly - but the food….. Ordered the beef pie, I challenge the chef to eat it! They managed to incinerate it, awful Would suggest some training on how to reheat cooked food

Abysmal service, they really can't be bothered to serve you. Very expensive and the food was stale. My burger was £18 and it was dreadful.

Enjoyable stay overall, first under new management. Comfortable room in The Townhouse. Tea & coffee still provided, though not water or water glasses,. Reception staff were happy to help though. Food enjoyable overall, particularly the cooked breakfast. Buffet fairly modest.. Do seem to be moving...

Even before we arrived we were impressed. We had called to ask about parking and we mentioned we were only 5 mins away but were aware the room would not be ready for over a hour. Oh don't worry about that the reception said your...

Rang up to book: "only walk-ins". Back to the bad old days when I took my elderly mother and mother-in-law, only to be turned away and nearly ended up on a plate feeding two irate ladies. Still, good business for The Gaerwen Arms and Harry's...

A bit lonely in the lounge… Food and staff were fab But we brought our dog - so had a seat in the lounge. Sunday nite in feb. Log fire had gone out. We sat on our own with no music and atmosphere. Will leave...

Great choice for lunch - lovely service from friendly staff. Dogs made very welcome and accommodated well. We kept it simple for lunch but the quality was excellent

We were both delighted with the quality and taste of our meals. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and caring and the restaurant has a lovely ambiance.

Dropped in for a lunch, staff were polite and attentive and the food (we both had the pie) was delicious! Reasonably priced too, a really nice lunch out.

We stayed at the bull with friends and it was a great stay. The staff we encountered was all very friendly and a warm welcome. Breakfast was plentiful and hot the rooms was spacious very clean and all your needs taken care of we will...

I love this pub and it's tradition. It won't stop me visiting again but yesterday's visit was disappointing. I am aware the establishment is under new ownership and hopefully this is just a blip. We called in for a couple of drinks and bite to...

Stayed on the winter special dinner bed and breakfast. Beaumaris is a thriving high street with lots to see and do. Lovely independent shops, restaurants and cafes in addition to touristy things to do and beautiful seafront walks. This is a friendly hotel - every...
