About This Pub

Oh, let me tell you about the Bulls Head – it's one of those pubs that just feels like an old friend, you know? I've heard from folks who've popped in that the food is spot on; think generous portions of things like ginormous Yorkies with their Sunday roasts or a fresh chicken and avocado salad that could win anyone over. The staff are an absolute delight, always up for a chat and making sure everything runs smoothly, which really adds to that welcoming feel. It's got bags of character too, being a McMullen house since 1912, with a fun atmosphere whether you're settling in for a drink or enjoying the outdoor decking on a nice day. And if you're out with the dog, they're more than happy to have them along in the bar. That said, it's not without its quirks – it does fill up quickly, so planning ahead is a must to avoid disappointment, and the prices might make you think twice for a quick midweek stop. All in all, though, it's a solid spot for a good time; I'd say give it a go if you're in the area, as the positives far outweigh the little niggles, and you'll likely leave with a smile and a full belly.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The food is absolutely brilliant – from massive Sunday roasts with fluffy Yorkies to tasty salads and chicken dishes that leave you wanting more.
  • Staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • It's got a cracking atmosphere, full of personality and character, especially with the outdoor seating for sunny days.
  • Dog-friendly vibes in the bar area, which is a lovely touch if you're popping in with your four-legged mate.
  • Plenty of options for everyone, including great cocktails and a solid wine list, plus it's wheelchair accessible and has parking.
Cons
  • It can get pretty busy, so you'll need to book ahead if you don't fancy waiting around.
  • Prices are on the moderate side, which might feel a tad steep for a casual pint if you're watching the pennies.
  • Ordering through the app works well, but it might not appeal to those who prefer a more traditional chat with the bar staff.

Was due to go to Fish n Eels but the reviews weren't good so we changed our booking to here....so glad we did. Service was great, staff very friendly. Food was great and I thank the waitress that persuaded me to have the chicken and avocado salad instead of the scampi, it was delicious!! Will definitely visit again 👍

A group of us came here for an impromptu visit after a groomsmen suit fitting in London. I have never been here before but have passed it many times when visiting my grandparents who used to live around the corner. All food and drink was ordered through the McMullens app which was good! It was nice and easy to use and navigate and had options to pay by card and Google Pay. I didn't have to create an account either! I went for The Mixed Grill and upgraded to chicken gravy scratching loaded fries with a side of onion rings, and to be honest it was absolutely banging! I didn't eat the tomato or peas though as I don't do either of them, but I couldn't see an option to remove them whilst ordering. The service was really good from a red haired girl who was very polite, and another gent who explained to us about the massive Yorkshire Pud challenge thing they have going on there. Amazing work from them two. Another chap was quite confrontational to one person in our group regarding an incorrect drinks order and went on to explain how he'd worked there for however many years and how he knew how to do his job etc. Now I understand sometimes you need to prove your knowledge and experience, but when you've been served a drink a certain way 3 or 4 times, and then the last time you order it it comes out differently, we as customers don't really need to hear your justification nor that you'd need to reprimand a member of staff. Just an apology will do and a swift correction will do fine, regardless of who was at fault or if there would be any additional charges. Just for clarity; I have worked in customer facing jobs for 20+ years, so I've had my fair experience in customer service and how you deal with awkward situations. As for the atmosphere, it's a bit different to the usual country pubs we regularly visit further north in Hertfordshire, groups of roudy blokes, getting the odd stare here and there etc, I wouldn't say that it's entirely a great place to bring young family or the elderly. (or not on days like today at least) Obviously being a pub you can't pick your customers, but it wasn't the greatest atmosphere to be in. Regardless, I/we will 100% be returning to this pub as the food was great and most of the staff were great. I'd highly recommend it to anyone considering going.

What a boozer this is. Loads of atmosphere. Im from sunderland working in the area but feel like ive drank there years from the interaction with the staff and regulars. Ive only had one meal and that was the boneless chicken thighs. Banging

If you’re planning a visit for the Sunday roast make sure you arrive hungry because the portions are HUGE!! We all had the famous ginormous yorkie & was pleasantly surprised that even though it’s triple the size of a normal yorkie, they’re still floofy & not soggy at all. Everything tasted incredible too & they really don’t scrimp on the cuts of meat either. Make sure you save room for desert too, because the sundaes were also insanely tasty. 10000% our new go to place for roast dinners, because nowhere else can compare to this now.

My friend and I went to visit the Bulls Head for the first time. We really enjoyed it! The guys working there were very friendly, the atmosphere was fun and chilled, especially with the little lights in the evening and we really liked the food. Best nachos we've ever had! Oh and, good cocktails too at a good price. We'll definitely be back! Update March 2024: Even when it wasn't warm enough to be outside like in our last visit, we had a great time. Saying that, they have tables outside with umbrellas and heaters. Everyone at the bar is so friendly. Tonight they had some DJ music too and the place was so lively. Shame I don't live closer but I'm coming back for sure!
