About This Pub
Ah, the Bulls Head in Wilmslow is one of those places that just feels like a proper treat – you know, the kind where you settle in for a good meal and end up chatting away the afternoon. From the reviews I've come across, the food stands out as a real winner; it's all about those comforting pub favourites with a fresh twist, like the steak pie or crispy pork belly that folks are raving about. The staff are an absolute delight too, always on hand with a smile and making sure everything runs smoothly, which really adds to the homely feel. It's tucked away in the lovely Cheshire countryside, making it a brilliant spot for a wander followed by a pint in the beer garden when the weather's playing nice. On the downside, it does fill up quickly, especially on weekends, so you might want to sort a table in advance to avoid any hassle. And if you're hoping for a bit of a night owl session, the kitchen closes a bit early, which could leave you wanting more. All in all, it's a solid choice for a meal with mates or family – honest, welcoming, and with that classic pub charm that keeps you coming back.

Great location in the Cheshire countryside, easy to reach and ideal for a post-walk stop-off, with a nod to its historic charm.
Cons
-
It can get quite busy at peak times, which might make it feel a tad crowded if you pop in without booking.

Serving hours wrap up around 9pm most days, so it might not be the best spot if you're after a late-night bite or drink.

We had been to the artisan market at Poynton and my son phoned on the off chance to say if they could fit a party of 4 in with it being fathers day...fortunately they could. We all had the 3 course fathers day menu. Everything was delicious, my husband said apart from my roast, it was the best he had had. The service, food quality and staff were all spot on...100%. Thank you, it was a fabulous meal.
We were eating as a group of four. The choice of food on the menu was very good, the restaurant was busy but didn't feel crowded. Our waitresses Julie and Ricki were excellent, very friendly and made is feel very welcome. I would definitely recommend dining here.
Lorna greeted us warmly. seated us at a lovely table and took our order when we were ready. We were so impressed with the service and food (thanks chef Alfie - the steak pie and the crispy pork belly were amazing). We will definitely return!
Toby was amazing on our visit today! He catered to our every need as a family. The food was delicious and Toby ensured he checked in on us refilling drinks when needed. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and couldn't fault anything.
Came here for dinner on our way home after a round of golf at Mottram Hall. The food is fantastic, especially the Lamb Shank for which I would rate as Michelin standard. The service from Julie is excellent as well. Would definitely come back soon.
