The Bulls Head in Solihull

Ah, The Bulls Head in Earlswood – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper gem in the Midlands countryside. I've got to say, from what I've seen, it's got that heart-warming hospitality down pat, with staff who are genuinely polite and eager to make your visit enjoyable, much like catching up with friends over a good meal. The food stands out as a winner for most; think hearty, locally-sourced dishes that are well-presented and perfect for a lazy lunch or brunch, especially with options that nod to the seasons – it's no wonder so many are raving about it. The setting is just beautiful, right on the edge of green fields and near spots like Earlswood Lakes for a quick walk, and being dog-friendly adds a nice touch for those of us who like to bring the pup along. On the flip side, though, it's not all roses; a few have noted waits for service even when things aren't heaving, and the odd review suggests the food can be a bit middling if you're expecting something extraordinary. Still, with such a strong overall rating, I'd say it's worth a punt – just pop in with realistic expectations and you're in for a treat. All in all, it's a solid spot for a relaxed get-together, but maybe plan ahead to avoid any potential hitches.
