Disappointing. This pub used to be really good but our visit yesterday was not very good. Our party of 11 had a lot of niggles that added up to a very average/poor experience, mainly due to slow service slow but also meal quality was not as good compared to their usual standard. Pate starters were bland and tasteless this time, nowhere as good as I 've had before. The Christmas Dinner costs over £20 now and several of us found the turkey to be very dry. Comically we each had two cranberries dotted on the plate side, and a single sprout cut in half. There were other veggies of course, but my own green veg portion was cold. The portion size was fine and plenty of gravy but sadly cold plates me...
We’d booked for lunch which was just as well as it seemed very busy with several groups of “ladies who lunch”. As always, there was good service and a menu packed with dishes you could fancy ordering. They modify the menu regularly which accounts for the fact that, whilst I’d spotted a lovely partridge main course when I looked online just after breakfast, it had disappeared when they updated the menu just before midday. There was a roast chestnut risotto, as a starter, which was nice enough in itself but would have been even better if you could actually detect any pieces of chestnut in it. The overall flavour was enhanced with a scattering of lightly pickled shemeji mushrooms and a few cris...
I had a great lunch at this hidden gem of a restaurant. The rabbit and wild boar pasty starter was delicious and just the right portion size. My fish pie was filled with high-quality fish, but it needed a little extra something to make it really stand out, like a hint of herb or some cheese in the sauce. Nonetheless, it was still very good. My wife's lamb dish was incredibly tender and the vegetables were cooked perfectly, offering a refreshing change from typical pub fare. The menu is the same for both lunch and dinner, so it would be nice to see some smaller plates available during lunch hours (not just sandwiches). Overall, this is a wonderful spot for a meal where you can expect excellen...
The food at this restaurant was disappointing. I ordered the Salmon, ginger, and lemongrass fishcake as a starter, but it was as hard as a golf ball and impossible to cut into. I sent it back and instead tried the soup, which was just average. It was clear that the fishcake had been overcooked and burnt, possibly prepared hours before. My friend ordered the Chicken liver pâté with carrot and apricot chutney, and toasted bread (no mention of mushrooms on the menu). She found a suspicious-looking slime on her salad, which turned out to be a mushroom when she asked the waitress. Overall, the experience was not great, but we had no issues with the dessert and hot drinks.

We have come here many times before but this is the first time our meal has been substandard. We ordered seebass, a delicate fish but excellent when cooked properly. Our fish was sadly totally overcooked. The potato mash was meant to taste of lemon but was tasteless. When we expressed our disappointment we were told had we complained they would have replaced the meal. That misses the point, namely it should never been sent out in the first place. That apart service was good and of course it’s a great venue to visit. Sadly we shall give the Bulls Head a miss for a while.
This restaurant is very popular and was very full when we went. Unfortunately it was very noisy However we were moved to a quieter area with no problems The food was delivered promptly and generally of a good standard. My spicy beef salad was very tasty. My husband had the wild boar rabbit and venison cottage pie. He it was ok but could have been mince Our server was lovely, friendly and efficient Would we go again Jury out as expensive for what we had
A group of 11 ladies had a wonderful evening. Great atmosphere, hot food that was well presented, lovely staff but … the fact we could only choose off the Christmas menu when I personally would have preferred fish and chips. The menu was very limited with for example rabbit, venison and butter bean mash to go with the fish in a tomato and fennel sauce. Not the best of choices. The prices and unable to choose from the main menu will deter our return.
This restaurant is truly exceptional, with fantastic food, a vibrant atmosphere, and a team of staff that is expertly led by manager Dan. The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly, delivering top-notch service. We are frequent visitors and hope to continue coming back for a long time.

I had the baked hake with curried cauliflower puree. I think extra potatoes were added. Every mouthful was delicious.
