Bulls Head Hotel

Amazing pub– perhaps best ever. Servers are top notch. Food excellent.
Gin bar is amazing. Gins that are one-​of-​a-​kind!!! I’ve never seen a pub this busy in the middle of nowhere. Lots of people mean good food & good drink!
U won’t be disappointed!

I an giving this rating purely on the welcome and the service. Based on food alone it would be a 3* property.
In the area for but a single night I needed a meal and a beverage. This was my only choice and it overall it worked.
On the way down a small hill the Bulls Head is situated, with its substantial charming beer gardens, on the left side. The atmosphere was quite welcoming from each staff member I encountered. The barrooms are decidedly aged with great coziness and low ceilings with exposed timbers etc. Overall a very pleasing atmosphere. Several local cask beers are available to be pulled. I sampled 2 neither of which appealed to my IPA preference of style.
The menu has some very tasty sounding options and all I saw served were extremely pleasing to the eye. Sadly I feel the kitchens quest for attractiveness in plating does not translate to the flavours on the plate. My lamb rump was overly rare and a little chewy. In talking to a very pleasant local couple who were also dining, they told me that the food here is always good pub fare. In other words it does the trick but you really aren’t going to be excited.
As an added bonus horses and riders are welcomed.

I went with my husband for lunch on Sunday after a friend told us how fantastic the food was, so expecations were high. The weather was good so lots of people were outside but we opted to eat inside. We moved tables once as we were seated next to a very noisy family. We ordered a roast beef dinner and sausage & mash. The food was very average but edible and I didn’t think the beef dinner was seasoned very well. We then ordered coffee and dessert. The coffee arrived almost instantly but we waited and waited AND WAITED for the desserts (mobberley mess and rhubarb fool). We asked 2 different waitresses where our desserts were and they assured they were on their way. Eventally after 20 minutes we cancelled them and got the bill. I don’t think we will be back in a hurry.
