    A really well decorated venue, a fantastic beer garden with ample space for patrons, private booths on request and a well-maintained children’s play area. The menu is shockingly overpriced for the food provided, starters were decent, however the main courses left much to be desired. The Bull Burger was a disaster. Claimed to be brioche though was not and had been over toasted, no ask as to how we might want our patties to be prepared (well done by default) and the chips were awful - had far better from burger vans. May return for the ambience but would recommend eating elsewhere.

    We booked a table for Sunday lunch for 8 people, the food was delicious and the staff as always friendly and very helpful. The service was great and we weren’t rushed to leave the table. The Bulls looking lovely after its little refurb. We highly recommend the Sunday lunch especially the roast potatoes.
