The Old Bulls Head

A really lovely pub, about 30 mins away from Nottingham. A nice range of food to cater for all tastes. We opted for starters and a main, which averaged at 25£ per head, without alcohol. The service was great, attentive staff. Would happily go again.Food: 5/5

Went for an impromptu dinner with fiancé at the Old Bulls Head. As much as I like the pub, there’s something off about it in the way food is presented and the lack of staff in the bar area. Our starter was fine but compared to other Camembert we’ve tried, there wasn’t tons of bread or chutney. My pizza was good but my fiancé’s burger had a weird salsa inside it which she said threw the taste off. We seemed a bit forgotten in the pub when sitting in the bar area with our dog as most of the attention was for the restaurant. Apart from that, thumbs up for cleanliness, food appearance, cocktails and price. Dog friendly as well which is a plus.

Fantastic meal out with my wife. Food was excellent and staff were friendly and polite. Definitely eating here again.

An impromptu visit that turned into one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. Chanced a table of 7 with no booking on a busy afternoon. To my surprise the manager managed to do some shuffling and fit us in. A brilliant drink selection and a wonderful menu with great veggie options. The staff were all lovely and the manager couldn’t do enough to help. This will 100% become a regular spot for us, I would highly recommend!

The pub has been renovated with nice light interior. There is a good seating area outside where you can drink and they will serve food. Food was nice but a bit pricey. More for a special occasion at lunchtime than calling in for a sandwich after a walk. What we ordered was good and well presented.

We had a work Christmas lunch here and ordered from the festive menu, the food was delicious and everyone enjoyed it. Some favourites were the Roast turkey, the pork belly, and chocolate brownie. Portions were a good size, The staff were very friendly, however the food did take a long time to come even though we had pre-ordered, but that's to be expected as its a busy time of year. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and has a lovely atmosphere, I would definitely come here again!

Christmas lunch on 25 Dec 2022 was a shambles. Starter was very nice, and then it went downhill. Chose Beef Wellington, to be given a cold piece of steak and soggy pastry, with 3 small cold hard roast potatoes, cold gravy… had to ask twice for vegetables, only to be given soggy carrots and parsnips. Nothing else. After many requests, there was a 1.5 hours wait between starter and main, with dessert supposed to include hot caramel sauce which was also cold. £90 for the meal was a total rip off. The whole experience was totally stressful and disappointing. We were forgotten and ignored, apart from when we had to ask numerous times for some service. We pay for Christmas lunch to save the stress of cooking, and clearing food. We should have stayed at home and saved our money. I’ll never go there again.

Fantastic Christmas with the Old Bulls Head - We dined over the festive period for a work event. The festive menu was fantastic, we had the set 3 courses. Turkey portions were fantastic, sprouts cooked perfectly and everything was seemless. The team working really tried their best to deliver a fantastic experience with us. We understand how difficult it is this time of year with staffing, illnesses and the expectation some people have on the hospitality sector but we just wanted to let you know we had a fantastic time, would 100% recommend, 10/10

I was staying in the local area for a short time and decided to book a meal at The Old Bulls Head above all other local places simply because they have a full vegan menu with multiple options available. Upon arrival, the restaurant and bar looked beautiful and the wait staff were all friendly and polite. Our server was called Noah and they were lovely. Food arrived quickly and was all very tasty! Reasonably priced too £74 for 2x mains, 2x desserts and 5x drinks If I was staying in the area again, I would definitely go back to The Old Bulls Head and would also recommend.

Great atmosphere and very friendly staff. The food took a bit to long and some bits veg were under cooked or colder than expected. Service was slow but it was Christmas time soo high demand on staff. I can see that with more staff in kitchen and front of house things could be greatly improved and a well dissevered pub reclaims it's status. Will visit again to see there improvements in 2023.
