Bulls Head Inn

We were looking for a restaurant to please everyone in our party of 6, which included a vegetarian, a big meat eater, 2 x fussy eaters, an anything goes person and a reluctant to come out individual who just wanted something light to eat. Having previously phoned around several places The Bulls Head appeared to be the best option.
On arrival we were greated by the owner (I presume as the place has seen several changes of management over the years). There was nobody else in the restaurant part so we were invited to chose where we wanted to sit. The menu was presented to us and everyone found something they liked the look of, along with a few starters that were chosen to share.
When the starters appeared I eagerly bit into my all time favourite — deep fried brie, to discover the middle was not only cold but still frozen! The olives and dips arrived with no bread (as described in the menu), however we weren’t initially fused by this as a basket of bread had already been handed around prior to the starters. However having recognised his flaw the waiter returned with the missing bread meaning we were now inundated with the stuff.
The main meals arrived and my veggie bake was nothing to really write home about and the chips I had ordered as a side dish never showed up. Several of the party had ordered mushroom pasta, which normally would be served in a creamy (soup like) sauce, however theirs appeared quite dry. Having recieved all the meals the pasta eaters eagerly waited for the garlic bread which was suppose to accompany their dish, but it never materialised so we had to ask for it. We were told on his return from the kitchen that it was almost ready. When it arrived we realised it was infact the partly baked rolls that we had been offered on arrival and that the garlic was infact olive oil dribbled over the top… it was so bad they left it.
The individual in the party who had requested something light to eat had opted for a small salad with just a piece of fish and was faced not only with a family size salad but a fish that was dripping in fat.
At this stage we noticed a private function getting underway and it became apparent that we were of no real interest to the proprietors any more. Those that could stomach their meals did so and as we sat before our plates nobody asked if we would like to see the desert menu or would like more drinks. not that we would have done.
Having paid and left we all agreed that this was a very poor example of pub food and such a shame that a pub with such potential is losing its customers due to the skills (or lack of) kitchen staff and the vision of the proprietors. We will not return EVER!

The locals can get rather rowdy and loud! but appart from that there is a pretty good atmosphere in here and a nice smoking area. Staff are friendly and food is good. If you fancy a quiet one — I’d go over the road to the Old Bull.
The dutebox is good but people put some awful stuff on!
